Featured Quote
We chose Iterable because we needed a comprehensive tool that covered all our business needs at that point in time and continues to do so. One thing worth mentioning was also how intuitive the tool is to get us going (thus helping reduce the switching cost), and here, Iterable did put itself in the lead.
