MoEngage - Intelligent Customer Engagement Platform

A specific example of how I used the reports for media performance in CRM  is by observing the results of the campaigns through the trackings and using the funnel report dashboards, retention report, and prediction reports with MoEngage .

Regarding the funnel report, I would highlight that it is a report that has several possible perspectives regarding CRM attributions and it helps significantly in decision-making for upcoming communications and day-to-day strategies.

MoEngage  is primarily used for campaigning through push notifications and in-app notifications. Additionally, I heavily utilize the flows project that MoEngage  launched in 2024 as part of orchestrated campaigning.

A specific example of how MoEngage is used for campaigning involves seller onboarding in IndiaMART. When a seller registers in the IndiaMART app, they complete an onboarding journey consisting of three different steps. If a seller completes only two steps and does not complete the third step, which is the most important step to complete their registration, MoEngage is used to inform the user after a certain time that they have completed two steps and only one step remains to complete the registration. A push notification is sent to the user informing them about the drop-off and encouraging them to complete the registration process as soon as possible in order to use IndiaMART and its features to grow their business.

In addition to push notifications, in-app notifications are used heavily in MoEngage by the marketing team. For instance, if there is a New Year offer on buy leads, which is very important for the subscription model purchased by paid sellers, multiple offers and promotions are shared while the user is using the app. This is an excellent use case for in-app notifications, and good conversions are achieved using MoEngage.

MoEngage's best feature is that it itself functions as an analytics engine. It is not just a notification service provider; it provides features to push notifications, show in-apps, and create flows. Having access to analytics helps in conducting valuable case studies. For example, I can analyze all users who came to the app, viewed the buy lead screen, but did not purchase the buy lead. Having this data allows for analysis of the problems that may have prevented the user from making a purchase. MoEngage's analytics engine is an important feature, along with the flows that allow creation of a complete web based on user journeys.

MoEngage has positively impacted the organization in three ways. First, there has been an increase in notification delivery rate by five to eight percent on Chinese OEMs, which typically have battery-aggressive operating systems. MoEngage has partnerships with these Chinese OEMs, enhancing the delivery of push notifications, leading to better user engagement.

One area where MoEngage could improve is by providing a feature that allows the app to maintain a persistent connection with internal organization servers. MoEngage claims partnerships with OEMs to ensure their processes are not killed when the app is in the background. If this feature were implemented, it could help run background services, engage users who have not been active on the app for days, and collect valuable information.

I have been using MoEngage for about five years.

MoEngage is quite stable overall. Some issues were encountered during the last quarter of 2023 due to GDPR changes implemented by Google, which required MoEngage to alter its architecture. This resulted in a slight dip in delivery rates, but it did not affect any key performance indicators significantly. Overall, MoEngage's performance remains smooth, and their status is consistently 200 OK.

MoEngage's scalability is impressive, as it can easily handle growing workloads and user numbers. With 2.2 million users per month served, this figure is not even close to the peak capacity MoEngage can manage. It can handle millions of users and hundreds of millions of events per month, making it a robust product utilized by many top companies in the market.

I have had positive experiences with MoEngage's customer support. There is a direct way to reach them, and about a year and a half ago, they established a ticketing system for help and support, which I find to be a significant improvement. Tickets can now be raised in MoEngage's help and support section, and communications are reflected in email automatically, making the entire support experience much more streamlined.

My advice to others looking into using MoEngage is to consider whether you are using it on the app side or API side. If using it on the app side, ensure that the unique MoEngage profile is created using the user account rather than the Google Advertiser ID. Using the user account helps in identifying users and reduces the number of profiles created, leading to lower costs. This is a crucial metric that can greatly benefit organizations in their monthly invoices and allow them to achieve more events and reach more users.

Having used MoEngage for five years, I have many thoughts about it. I have observed its ups and downs and the innovations it has undertaken over time. MoEngage's scope as an analytics engine is significant. I am confident that it will provide insights to product managers to improve their products, and I encourage everyone to try it.

Regarding MoEngage's governance and security related to its AI capabilities, I find that MoEngage takes care of every compliance and privacy law, including GDPR compliance.

MoEngage's accuracy and reliability of AI output have met my expectations. For example, when creating campaigns through push notifications or in-app notifications, content is crucial. MoEngage utilizes its Merlin AI to generate campaigns that yield maximum conversions. If data fed into the system contains PII, MoEngage flags it and ensures data privacy. High-performing campaigns have been successfully created using their AI, and there has been a conversion increase of ten to twelve percent compared to previous click rates.

I provide this review a rating of nine out of ten.

My main use case for MoEngage  is building journeys in the Automation Studio and conducting segmentation work for different types of audiences.

I have used MoEngage  for different types of audiences, especially for B2B and B2C, where I segmented audiences based on different sectors such as retail, healthcare, and educational sectors. I had a particular campaign that was supposed to be deployed to all sectors available in the market, using different types of creative content for the same campaign, and I used MoEngage for segmenting the audiences.

MoEngage is an excellent tool for A/B testing of the subject line and A/B testing of campaigns, and I especially use it for audience segmentation. It is a great tool for segmentation and testing, including A/B testing of content, pre-header, subject line, and everything related to campaigns.

In my opinion, the best features MoEngage offers are segmentation and the user-friendly terminologies used for the user experience, which are really great and not confusing like other tools used for campaigns. The terminologies used for the user side are simple to understand, and it is a self-explanatory tool to deploy campaigns, segment campaigns, and handle everything else.

Regarding the segmentation feature, I appreciate that MoEngage is very effective in segmenting a large number of audiences, and it has an automatic filter that recognizes the retail sector. When I use it for campaigns, I use the email IDs of particular individuals, and the individual email IDs are associated with the particular organization or association they work for. MoEngage automatically drags the particular sector email IDs, so if you specify a healthcare sector email ID, it will completely drag the email ID to the healthcare sector, and in a similar way for the educational sector. Millions of emails are segregated automatically based on the sector and are attached to the campaign, which is deployed in seconds.

MoEngage has positively impacted my organization because the delivery rate from MoEngage is really high, and I receive a very low amount of bounce-back rates and undeliverable email IDs because it has an automatic feature of segregating nullable and invalid email IDs. I notice a very minimal bounce-back rate and high deliverability, resulting in a high open rate, as it completely targets the open rate in the inbox.

I recall a specific campaign that was only selected for the healthcare sector, where I achieved a 92% open rate, a 50 to 60% click rate on average, and a bounce rate of just one percent, with undeliverable rates at 0.09%. That was a very significant achievement in my entire career using MoEngage.

MoEngage can be improved because although the platform is really user-friendly, it sometimes becomes slow when I click and enter. In a single dashboard, you can find all the features, and while it is user-friendly, segregating the interface would be really helpful. For example, if I need to go to a journey, I could click on the journey and then place it in the Automation Center or segmentation center. Having this segregation would make the experience better.

I have been using MoEngage for more than two years.

MoEngage is a stable platform for me as it runs smoothly, and I appreciate the customer contact because whenever any bugs are escalated, we receive immediate support.

MoEngage can handle growing amounts of data and users easily, and its scalability is impressive.

I rate the customer support 9 out of 10 because they provide great email support, and if the bug is critical and needs priority attention, we have contact numbers to get in touch with the team.

I have previously used different types of ESPs such as Mailmodo and Mailchimp before switching to MoEngage.

I do not have a specific example of return on investment, but as a Senior Campaign Analyst, I see that whenever reports are circulated across the team after campaigns are deployed, the analysis shows a 30% reduction in OPEX costs. My role is limited to campaign analytics, while the return on investment is handled by a different team.

My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is limited because this is handled by a different department in my organization, specifically the accounts section and sales. They handle different pricing aspects and deals, while I focus on the user experience.

Our sales team is responsible for evaluating options before onboarding an ESP, and I only provide my user experience reporting and pricing details. Factors such as pricing comparison and ROI are handled by a different team, which decides on onboarding the ESP for the organization.

MoEngage is deployed in my organization on a private cloud, and we use Oracle as our cloud provider.

Regarding MoEngage's AI capabilities, I think it is pretty good for creating content for campaign subject lines, and the security is safe. I do not see any drawbacks using AI integrated with MoEngage.

Regarding MoEngage's AI capabilities, I sometimes feel that the answers I get from the AI are completely automated, as I have to provide keywords and frame questions to receive accurate answers. More analysis for specific questions would be really helpful for getting the exact answers I need.

I can definitely say that if you are considering using MoEngage for segmentation and A/B testing of the subject line, pre-header, and campaign body, it is a very nice tool. You do not need to do anything manually. You just have to set up a journey by providing the subject line and pre-header, and then the campaign gets automatically segregated. You just have to set up the journey and click to deploy, and it will be completed.

I think MoEngage is a very smooth platform that really matches the quality of the campaign market nowadays and fits well in the media and market environment. I give this review an overall rating of 8 out of 10.
