The solution is simple to set up. We just use it for marketing campaigns and therefore do not need to integrate it with anything. We only use basic configurations, which include defining the user, the style of email, and upload the HTML. It's only a couple of hours to get everything ready to go.

We only need one person to set up and maintain the solution. 

The deployment time depends on the purpose and complexity of the setup. 

For simple email submission forms, it's quick and easy. However, for more elaborate forms and integrations, it may take a little bit more time.

MailChimp's installation is straightforward but depends on the account's complexity. Deployment can be completed in a few hours. However, it can also extend to a week or two based on the account's complexity. 

The initial sign-up online for a free Mailchimp account is quick and simple. You provide a few details, including your location (for legal reasons), an email address that wish to send from, and a username and password and you're good to go. It takes a while to familiarize yourself with the layout of the dashboard once you log in, but the main sections are Campaigns (the emails you send out) and Lists (your email databases).

Very simple.

It's straightforward, and you don't really have a lot of choices, which can be a good thing.

It was straightforward. There are no customizations and it's batch and blast.

The initial setup was fairly straightforward, although obviously there was a learning curve. We had to familiarize ourselves with the interface, and make decisions about list management (i.e. what data to collect and/or add in the background as we imported our list), etc. However, we found the learning curve to be pretty short.

We usually set up complex accounts for clients, but the system is easy enough to use so while the capabilities of the account is complex and powerful...using it isn't.

Setup was easy as I just needed to login with Facebook. Understanding the creation of a template was easy as it is a drag-n-drop system. The implementation of a video element to the template was the most complex as I didn’t understand that the template doesn’t show *all* of what the campaign will look like.

Initial setup is extremely easy as the interface provides breadcrumb helpers and small tutorials on the next steps on first using MailChimp.

Setting up MailChimp was relatively painless. MailChimp provides defaults for all forms, templates and other settings, so we were able to customize what was important to us and leave everything else as the default.

The setup was incredibly straightforward. MailChimp has great on-boarding and initial walk-throughs, and guides.

Very out of the box. No need for assistance. If you are familiar with internet and websites, you can start right away.

Straightforward, but I found the earlier versions to be easier in respect to the building of templates.

The setup was straightforward, just annoying as I have to hard code the emails each time that I send them out.

Very simple, just sign up and send.

It was pretty straightforward. We just needed to migrate the lists, make some adjustments to follow MailChimp's unique structure, and create the template. Once that was done, we were ready to send out our first campaign.

Ir's straightforward, Mailchimp is beautifully systemized.

It's straightforward.

It was quite straightforward as it has easy to follow instructions.

It was very simple and intuitive. You chose gradually what you needed, and you're guided through the process step by step.

It was great, very user friendly. I didn't need any help. 

It was really easy.

As the solution is cloud-based, there is no installation involved.
