Reviews

Plugin is great

Blagovest Ruskov November 6, 2024

It’s very easy to work with brevo

Hilarious coding practise, lack of awareness of performance

sx1001 October 27, 2024 1 reply

This plugin works, we have it in use since a long time – but we have to patch the codebase over and over again with every update we do. Performance-wise, this plugin is a joke – they waste a lot of unnecessary SQL queries upon EVERY pageload. Never seen something similar – but they do their full initialization queries within the frontend and within every AJAX call. We checked using Query Monitor: Upon every page refresh using F5, we see queries like these being performed – have you every seen something like this? This all belongs into a “once upon plugin activation init-routine” CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS wp_sib_model_users ( id int(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, email varchar(255), code varchar(100), listIDs longtext, redirectUrl varchar(255), info TEXT CHARACTERSET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci, frmid int(2), user_added_date DATETIME NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (id) ); CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS wp_sib_model_lang ( id int(20) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, frmID int(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT -1, pID int(20) NOT NULL DEFAULT -1, lang varchar(120), PRIMARY KEY (id) ); SHOW COLUMNSFROM wp_sib_model_forms LIKE ‘gCaptcha’ SHOW COLUMNSFROM wp_sib_model_forms LIKE ‘termAccept’; SHOW COLUMNSFROM wp_sib_model_forms LIKE ‘confirmID’; SHOW COLUMNSFROM wp_sib_model_forms LIKE ‘requiredMsg’; SHOW TABLES LIKE ‘wp_sib_model_forms’; SHOW COLUMNSFROM wp_sib_model_forms LIKE ‘cCaptchaStyle’ SHOW TABLES LIKE ‘sib_model_forms’ Some of these queries run multiple times, their results are not even cached. They have several functions like these: public static function forms_table_exists(){global $wpdb;return $wpdb->get_var( “SHOW TABLES LIKE ‘” . self::TABLE_NAME . “‘” ) == self::TABLE_NAME;} Performance-wise, this is a complete joke. Luckily, not all devs work like this – just imagine having 20 plugins installed and every plugin spending 10-20 unnecessary SQL calls – you’d end up with 100 WASTED sql queries rather fast. No wonder that most WP pages are slow af. If you can, pick a different mail provider instead of Brevo / SIB.

Brevo: efficient, many functions, positive experiences

blaubussard55 July 25, 2024

Fast migration from sendinblue, good support. Efficient use of Brevo with a good price-performance ratio

Bon plugin

cmwparis75 July 17, 2024

Bon plugin pour mettre en place des formulaires, dont l’inscription à des newsletters. Je recommande ce plugin et l’outil Brevo en général que j’utilise régulièrement pour des campagnes.

Great ecommerce and mail functions

apmx July 16, 2024

I use the plugin together with a paid account from Brevo, before that with the free version. The plugin is easy to use, most of the functions can be set in the Brevo account itself, which is very practical. I use almost all the functions: The e-commerce analyses, the transactional mails and the forms. Everything is quite simple. Especially the SMTP functionality is a blessing, so I can send all Wordpress mails via Brevo and have a detailed log in the user interface. I had some minor application problems here and there and also found a bug. The support team reacted promptly to this and, in the event of a bug, published a plugin update within 24 hours. What I miss is the automatically added product information. With Mailchimp I had all Woocommerce Products with Text, Price and Image in Mailchimp. In Brevo I have to add them manually.

Easy to use

marijen July 9, 2024

Brevo is exactly what I needed. Here I am paying for the number of e-mails I am sending out and not the number of contacts (which I had to do with the tool I used before). And it is much cheaper as well. Brevo is easy to use and reliable, I am very happy with it!
