Just within their email deliverability management services, they offer several features including real-time monitoring, in-all reporting, and monthly email deliverability reviews.

They also offer many features for segmentation management, asset management, email campaign automation, integrations and reporting and analytics. BlueHornet offers free live or on-demand webinars as well as slide presentations with tips and tricks to help you better capitalize on their services. They also provide 24/7 email technical support. Online and in-app education resources are also there to quickly guide you through their email marketing platform as you go.

If you're hoping to get a thorough understanding of features from BlueHornet's website, you won't find it. The site gives an overview of their mission and a few looks into some of their features, but for the most part, you'll be directed to contact them for a "demo request." Approximate pricing isn't listed on their site either. Even though BlueHornet boasts about their "360" support where they're available 24/7/365, for technical support, you have to send an email and wait for a response. The phone number does not provide technical support and there is no option to live chat with a representative. There's also no online community-no frequently asked questions or forums. Some reviewers have found that they focus more on selling and not on current clients. Reviewers have found the interface "poor and clunky" and that reports are often inaccurate.
