"Litmus - A Complete package and A Great Software for Email Testing"
What do you like best about Litmus?

As one of our most important channels is email marketing, Litmus has proven beneficial. Litmus offers effective email marketing solutions that support in creating campaigns, proofreading, detecting spam, and other areas. It has great features that can be integrated with many email marketing tools that show how an email renders on different platforms and devices. It contains a sufficient number of browsers to test rendering issues and it is very easy to use which leads to the high frequency of use. They have the best email design guides in the industry which can help users to implement the testing easily. Amazing customer support when integrating with other tools.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

We need to utilize a different server because Litmus lacks an image hosting server.

What problems is Litmus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Email testing is the most irritating and time-consuming part of email marketing. Emails are rendered differently in different clients, ESPs, browsers, mobiles, tablets, and applications. While testing we need to use different browsers, devices, and clients to check the rendering part. But litmus shows all clients, browsers, and devices in single page.

"Good experience so far"
What do you like best about Litmus?

It was very convenient and easy to test out curated emails and newsletters, to make sure that they work. We could easily check out the email clients that didn't work, and rectify the issue quickly.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

There was a 2FA tied to a phone number. When one of our team member left, it meant switching the phone number to another one. I wish phone number wasn't part of the 2FA, considering that it was used by a team.

What problems is Litmus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Making sure that emails are presented correctly across all email clients and browsers.

"Email QA made easy!"
What do you like best about Litmus?

Emails will never render the same on every device and its a drag trying to design an email and anticipate it to look the same across the board. Litmus allows me to preview how my email will render on a variety of devices, and easily generate previews. On top of that the litmus tracking code allowed me to understand what devices most of my subscribers are viewing on so I know which designs to implement!

What do you dislike about Litmus?

The limits on previews based on subscription tier!

What problems is Litmus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Spam triggers, Email QA, subscriber tracking.

"Of the email preview tools, Litmus is by far the best."
What do you like best about Litmus?

The platform has been very helpful, particularly with regards to our email campaigns that I use Litmus on mainly. It provides perfect previews, so I may see how they will look in different clients. Therefore, this is crucial in our strategy as it ensures optimal design for every email client. In addition, Litmus’ recommendations help us improve the campaign plan. In general, it’s an excellent base for emails related work.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

Although the platform works nicely for email marketing, the subject line and preview header testing should be better. Additionally, I thought it slightly expensive as compared with other optimisation procedures that I have ever encountered.

What problems is Litmus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Litmus assists in detecting as well as correcting design discrepancies among various email clients. This allows for clarity in the organization’s messaging by making sure that our email content appears professional and uniform. This, finally, helps us to keep an ongoing, fruitful dialogue with our customers.

"It answers questions for me I didn’t know that I had"
What do you like best about Litmus?

Once you get your account setup for testing and previews, it becomes an important part of my workflow for new email campaigns. It also has taught me a lot about email design because of what I know is possible, not possible, or only possible in certain email clients. I would not have been able to keep my job that I currently have if I didn't use litmus.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

As I'm doing many iterations of the same email. I wish I could just test on certain mail clients in a quick way rather than the same amount each time. This might be possible but not with my current privileges on my account.

What problems is Litmus solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps me to create reliable emails for my current customers. It helps me to know that when I send an email out. I can feel confident it's not going to look all jacked up to CEOs, especially those using outlook

"Super Needed!"
What do you like best about Litmus?

I love that I can see the emails tested on different providers, then can be coded inside the Litmus platform to test how you can fix any errors. It has been helpful.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

I wish there were more analytics for the tracking codes. We use analytics and it's good, but not amazing.

What problems is Litmus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Visually seeing how the email sends.

"The ONE must have tool for email marketers and developers"
What do you like best about Litmus?

If you are not render testing your emails then you are not truly concerned about your customers. By using the Litmus tool, you give each customer the experience you intended. As an email developer and professional services Manager, I also appreciate the value of the extra tools built into the Litmus platform. Litmus builds email tools for email geeks and keeps us all on the cutting edge of understanding our craft.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

At times, the renders can take longer to load than my impatience would like.

What problems is Litmus solving and how is that benefiting you?

The mystery of email client and device renderings. There is no other way to get visibility into what your customer will see in their Inboxes.

"Litmus - Great Email Testing Tool"
What do you like best about Litmus?

I can see many renderings of emails on device / email client combinations that I otherwise would not be able to test. Getting SPAM filter info and Subject Line evaluations is also very helpful.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

While Litmus has many device / email client combinations to test on, they don't always have the combination a client utilizes. When this occurs, which is not very frequent, it results in rendering issues not being detected until the email "proof" gets sent to the client for review.

What problems is Litmus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Litmus helps us to produce and send out emails that look good and represent our clients well across many device / email client combinations. We have an opportunity to resolve many rendering & deliverability issues before leaving the QA stage.

"The perfect addition to your CRM portfolio!"
What do you like best about Litmus?

Litmus provides the security any email marketer is looking for. With Litmus, you'll see how your email renders across many different platforms, providing ease of mind with your email designs.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

The only downside to Litmus is it can be overwhelming to review all the provided platforms. It's a pretty great problem to have! But I wish there was a smaller list of suggested providers that is easier to manage but still comprehensive!

What problems is Litmus solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows me to test my emails past the platforms I have access to. Plus, it shortens the time it takes to check my email designs! This allows for our team to be smaller and more agile!

"A go to solution to review emails on multiple email clients"
What do you like best about Litmus?

The Preview Interface is really good, and the fact that you can toggle off images just to see how your email looks without them is pretty great.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

I haven't had a bad experience with Litmus so far, so I don't have anything I dislike.

What problems is Litmus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Some customers complain their images do not load in some newsletters they send to different ISPs. We use litmus to check if it's an email client specific issue or a general Issue. Litmus has been pretty accurate thus far.

"Great and easy to use platform"
What do you like best about Litmus?

Litmus is a must-have tool to review all your emails. It helps with design and testing so you can optimize your email campaigns. You can add comments and check past communications all in a very collaborative way.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

I would love to be able to send actual emails from Litmus and not only stay in the testing environment. When we have a lot of emails to review, we find it difficult to name the versions without affecting the subject line.

What problems is Litmus solving and how is that benefiting you?

It really facilitates exchanges between the different stakeholders. It also is a very good library of all our work.

It makes it easy to create emails out of our branded templates. I can design them very quickly and then test them right away. I would day my busness preformabce is better than before.

"Litmus - Great for Email Marketers!"
What do you like best about Litmus?

I like how Litmus allows users to review and post comments which makes sure that all finer details are taken care of before release.

What do you dislike about Litmus?

I love it so far. Helps me in my marketing function .

What problems is Litmus solving and how is that benefiting you?

Litmus gives me a very real-life kind of preview of my emails which helps in putting myself in my end-user's shoes and read my content. It always helps to see how your creation and final deliverable looks before hitting the send button.
