These MRM features, designed to manage resource allocation and budgets, are important for enterprise customers.

Although they have some marquee clients in the US, their presence is still limited.

Strengths Areas for Improvement
Campaign Automation — Campaign automation and segmentation are very strong. UI Design — The user interface is not intuitive and there is a steep learning curve.
Integration — Integration with Adobe's SiteCatalyst is important. Also integrates with CRMs. Error Message Handling — Error messages are very vague and difficult to interpret.
