Poor Deliverability For Me Best Tagging Experience
My experience with Aweber's customer support even when I start as a free trial was something to take home about.
It's easy to create both HTML templates for your emails and also, their easy drag and drop email builder makes it possible to design your email templates or pick from the library of already made templates and edit your campaigns.
Email campaigns can also be shared with someone else to import all the flows to their autoresponder with Aweber and save a lot of stress.
Pros
I love Aweber's ease of signing up plus, it's a powerful autoresponder with a nice user interface, great email list management, custom segmentation, and the fact that it even delivers analytics to your email after sending an email campaign makes it my favorite. As compared to ConvertKit, Aweber is still cheap and an affordable autoresponder to rely on.
Aweber has outstanding customer service which you can reach at any point in time from email, live support, and phone call.
Cons
Aweber's Campaign flows feature is currently my third best but then it lacks some features as compared to sender. An example of that feature I was looking for is setting a condition of either a subscriber is qualified to receive the next flow or change a path. That which I can't find in an expensive autoresponder like Aweber.
Reasons for Choosing AWeber
I was promoting Affiliate products and MailChimp had to shut me down and that was why I sourced for another autoresponder which can give me control over my list, what I send and when I send to them.Switched From

I read a lot of reviews about successful affiliate marketers using Aweber to make money and I thought I should go for it. Plus, I liked their Free trial which offers almost everything the paid plan offers with 500 subscribers.- Industry: Marketing & Advertising

AWeber: A Good Start With Email Marketing
I enjoyed using AWeber. It was easy to set up lists and broadcast emails. And it made it possible for me to get started building my business online without much tech skill. However, as I became a more advanced marketer and wanted more control in my business, the way AWeber was set up did not seem to make certain advanced automation features possible. Or the interface was set up in such a way to dissuade you from using it for more complex features.
Pros
The best part about AWeber is how easy it is to use. There aren't a whole lot of bells and whistles which means that it's super fast to get up and running. And honestly, though it's not my favorite tool, most businesses would do better to use AWeber than their current email marketing system. Also, it's got good deliverability which means your emails actually show up in the inbox instead of spam.
Cons
I call AWeber a "beginner" email marketing tool because that's what it feels like. Yes, it'll get you up and running. But it doesn't "feel" powerful and the lack of features leave some things to be desired. But "something" is better than "nothing", so if using something easy gets you and your business to do email marketing, than by all means use AWeber.
Reasons for Choosing AWeber
I don't have anything good to say about MailChimp. Not only is the interface clunky, but oftentimes deliverability suffers. And as if that isn't enough, a lot of businesses that are totally ethical, GOOD businesses are forbidden from using the platform. I have many friends who have woken up to their accounts banned, locked out of all their email contacts without so much as a reason. And these weren't people running aggressive offers. They were just regular businesses (like flower shops) that apparently tried to sell their products a little too "hard" and therefore caught the ban hammer.Switched From
MailchimpReasons for Switching to AWeber
At the time I was just getting started in internet marketing, I wanted to use what the "big names" used. So I looked into the platforms they "recommended." This was before I understood affiliate marketing and didn't know they were getting paid to say how awesome these platforms were. When in reality, yes they are super powerful. But they're also really clunky and take a SUPER long time to learn. Plus, I quickly realized I wouldn't use MOST of what these other platforms offered, so I quickly decided on AWeber so I could get started with my business.- Industry: Health, Wellness & Fitness

Not the best at keeping subscribers
Aweber was the 'gold standard' in email marketing when I used it a few years ago. The problem I encountered was when transferring an email list over from another provider. Not everyone clicked the link to resubscribe and I lost thousands from their software. I couldn't send them another email from there. I understand the requirement to resubscribe but this was an existing list from another provider. I also lost clients and friends from my list who were confused as to why they no longer received emails. They had to go to my website and sign up again. I couldn't contact others to do the same - because I couldn't email them! Years of building a list was gone.
Pros
Aweber is straightforward and has a good interface and a no-nonsense approach to email marketing. Their pricing is fair and you pay more as your list grows giving you the chance to get started without an inflated cost.
Cons
I found them to be really restrictive with my email list and I lost a lot of subscribers.

Good for a small company mail list, but lacks integration
Also, it became too costly an option when trying to integrate my WooCommece store data without purchasing a $49 plugin. The more I wanted to do, the fewer options because available not making this a suitable option for me. Overall, my experience with AWeber was less than stellar and I had to drop it for a better solution.
Pros
AWeber is good for maintaining a customer list and sending campaigns. It also provides the capability to use a single list among a couple websites with some integration and upgrades. Overall, I would consider it an entry-level list management option.
Cons
AWeber lacks the capability to integrate multiple website data seamlessly without some third-party apps. Not being able to maintain a single list among my three websites was a definite downside to continuing using the software. The form builder and landing pages were difficult and cumbersome to configure, setup and integrate. The RSS options was clunky and the templates were lacking any customization.
Reasons for Choosing AWeber
I was looking for a better solution for the limitation in Mailchimp, but AWeber was less than stellar. Mailchimp did not give me much analytical data and email marketing options.Switched From
MailchimpReasons for Switching to AWeber
I initially choose AWeber because I thought it was a improvement over Mailchimp. However, it did not meet my needs as well. So, I switched to ActiveCampaign and glad I did.- Industry: E-Learning

Aweber the right tool to start as a small business entrepreneur
Great. I’ve been using Aweber for almost 7 years. But have to move to another software which include a CRM.
Pros
Very easy tool and the availability of the support team.
Cons
I would like to have more flexibility with the tool. A map would be great to have an overall view of the campaign. It would also be great to have more automations tools
