AJO is best suited for advanced Martech teams who are already bought into the Adobe ecosystem through the use of RTCDP, AA, AAM, etc. Organizations that are starting their Martech journey are good candidates, as well as those who are reevaluating all of their marketing channel vendors near the same time. Success in AJO is highly dependent on the number of marketing channels added. Close coordination with database teams is essential for success. Many of the offline data requirements benefit from modeling of the data. Having dedicated resources developing AJO (RTCDP)-specific views will reduce the amount of QA required to bring the solutions to market

Usability
Adobe
At times, Adobe Journey Optimizer offers too many options, making things less user-friendly than I would personally prefer. As mentioned earlier, there is a tendency to encounter decision paralysis with the increase in available options. While having options is excellent, in typical Adobe fashion, too many can be overwhelming for users

They both have their pros and cons, I feel it depends on the users that the products are targetting, SFMC is has more specialized customizations, Adobe does offer similar but require a higher technical knowledge which is not something that is provided bt the other product

We tried both MailChimp and SendPulse. SendPulse should improve the autocomplete fields and it comes with fewer templates. MailChimp lacks in more integration with other programs and software. Once you create a template on MailChimp, it seems difficult to edit. Goolara works perfectly with auto-responders, has an advanced bounce tracking system, mailing frequency limits, and more. I'm sure you won't regret once you are ready to set with Goolara.
