I started using ION in the beginning of January. I perhaps need a little more training on the tool but find it difficult in creating landing pages. ION is extremely case sensitive. Copying & pasting complicates things from what I've learned. I think with a little more training, I will find the tool to be a little more helpful.
Pros
ION creates great landing pages.
Cons
Not user-friendly. Perhaps with a little more training, the tool will become easier to use.

Workhorse of a tool... Great for what I use it for!

I am a jack of all trades for the various teams at the agency I work at. I work in the digital side of a DRTV ad agency, we have roughly 160 employees I believe.
Currently I help out the creative web dev team, services and account managers. I usually help the C/WD team and the account managers when I am in Ion and using it.
I am the mule that all the teams use to be honest. I use Ion to help Josh (our creative director) with designs, revisions, setting creatives live, changing/monitoring tests, things like that. For the account managers I use Ion to pull test data, traffic source data, in-page data (who clicked what) and as an overall barometer to tell the AMs how pages are doing.
For everything I do, I know know it isn't the level that Josh and Mike use it, it works perfectly!
Pros
I like to think of myself as a pretty literate web and computer user. But with that said, there are various online tools and services we use for agency day to day tasks, that are horrible to work in and not easy to use/figure out.
I think this is where Ion really shines. Josh has shown me a bunch of things to do within Ion, once you learn it once, you know it. Ion is easy that way. But it is also easy in the sense that he told me to go into the Sandbox and play around. I got lost in Ion for a couple hours and learned a hell of a lot. Things I know now, that Josh will say "I'll show you in a minute..." by the time he gets to my desk, it is done.
Ion is that intuitive, it's easy as hell to use. But I do know that I am only scratching the surface. There are porbably things Josh or someone from Ion could teach me and I could use Ion even more.
Cons
My only real con is the reporting and reports that Ion spits out. We are kind of spoiled by some of the reports we get from our own tracking system ROIA and other services where it is a dump of ALL data and we pick a choose. But there are also some prebuilt reports, built by us or the admins, that have selective fields. I would love to be able to build more selective reports for Ion.
What I do now is export all respondents and then use tags, sources, PubID and other URL variables to get what I want out of the data.

I find ion to be a bit confusing at first. After you get to know the interface and where all the options it is actually pretty easy to use, other than the drag and drop feature. There are a lot of options for laying out the pages. I have mainly used this software for building landing pages for the company that I work for. It is a digital marketing company.
Pros
Lots of features for page layout, color, background images and responsiveness across different medias.
Cons
The drag and drop is glitchy. I do not enjoy how if I want to drag a new row or text block into the page it takes back to the top of the page then it is very difficult to scroll back down to where you want to be.

The best! Outstanding content experiences in minutes
Reviewed on 2022/10/04
Pros
This is the industry standard for interactive and sales enablement content. A must have weapon for advanced demand gen marketers that need to capture first party, declared data.
Cons
The user interface is a little tricky in the early days, due to the advanced customization possibilities that it offers, but once you get it, you love it.

We use ion interactive for specific clients' webpages, landing pages, mobile pages, and emails. It is currently only used in the performance content department, which is responsible for creating content for our clients. We are able to put our designs and creations together and onto ion interactive, and have the client help add links, clickTags, TFNs, Promo IDs, etc. This allows for the project to be created, tested, and pushed live very quickly rather than many back-and-forth communications that would be present in basic workplaces.
Pros
- Organizing campaigns, portfolios, and creatives.
- Flexible editing within the creative studio.
- Testing and pushing creatives live while giving thorough analytics and reports.
Cons
- The layout and design of its main interface looks a little bit dated.
- Using frameworks seem difficult to edit and configure to function properly with Ion's creative studio capabilities.
- Missing the ability to gather emails for a database.
