Attentive’s Limited Functionality
Attentive lacks the robust capabilities offered by Insider. It does not provide product recommendations, has a limited number of templates, and only supports SMS and MMS, with basic media options like GIFs and videos. Attentive’s limited functionality reduces its effectiveness in driving engagement and delivering faster time-to-value.
Attentive’s Single-Channel Approach Increases Complexity for Marketing Teams
With Attentive, Marketing teams must manage separate tools and processes while losing consumer data or spending additional hours implementing a single-channel solution.
High Costs and Poor Service: Attentive’s Platform Struggles to Meet Expectations
Attentive’s platform faces several challenges, including glitchy email design functionality. Customer service and tech support are often unresponsive, while analytics and reporting are basic, with many essential reports gated behind requests. Users have expressed dissatisfaction with unexpected charges and a lack of long-term collaboration, feeling the platform prioritizes revenue over customer success.
Misleading Promises and Data Restrictions Frustrate Attentive Users
Attentive is criticized for misleading promises, with users reporting they were told the platform was easy to set up without a developer, only to later find out that a dev team was required. Access to customer data was also restricted, causing frustration. Competitors like Insider are noted to be more transparent, user-friendly, and cost-effective, offering broader geographical reach and easier data management, leaving users disappointed in Attentive’s functionality and business practices.
