    Adobe
    Adobe Marketo Engage is an excellent tool for hosting registration forms and sending out tokenized emails based on a particular person's information within your database. For example, if someone attends an event or webinar and indicates that they'd like to learn more about your product, then Adobe Marketo Engage can easily trigger a specific email template to that person that will be personalized with tokens about them. The pixel tracking that can be applied to any web page is also very helpful. If you want to focus on a more 1:1 type of follow up with a Lead, then the automated emails are not going to be as useful.

    Mixmax is very useful for reaching out to multiple clients at once, when you have to send them a similar message and get that message out as quickly as possible. It is also great for scheduling emails to go out later, such as when you are Out of Office or want to send something during the weekend

    • I have been using this platform in my company to handling the email tracking and engaging with the emails, it is far most the best help that I can have to actually do my work to great extent.
    • It helps me to create a pool in my own email inbox instead of creating in one system and then transferring it to others.
    • It also has amazing feature which is totally automated.

    Cons
    Adobe
    • The most important thing is the UI; it still looks very old and should be updated to meet current market design standards.
    • Admin Complexity: It should be easy to setup at the first go.
    • Tool Navigation: Navigation should be more easier.

    • In window templates do not always populate when composing a new email via Gmail.
    • PDF preview is not always the best approach for sharing a PDF.
    • Mixmax web app is cluttered for a new user - takes a little time to understand where everything is located in the web app.

    Likelihood to Renew
    Adobe
    We're likely to renew for several reasons:
    • Now that it's been implemented, I can't imagine not having marketing automation and the easy interface that Marketo provides to run our campaigns
    • Marketo's community and customer service is fantastic; I know that when I need help, I'll get it
    • Marketo continues to improve the product, so I know that I can expect it to be even more useful in the future

    Usability
    Adobe
    In some aspects, the tool can feel quite clunky in parts. But with the rich feature set it has, it's understandable. There is a lot of room for improvement for the user interface. The system itself doesn't have a slick or modern feel, so the usability could feel nicer to use with these areas considered.

    Reliability and Availability
    Adobe
    Marketo provides different way and abilities to connect. If you are having product support or unexplained errors you can get someone on Marketo support 24 hours a day. One of Marketo's greatest assets in my opinion however would be the community. Often times our company is just looking for case success stories from someone else. In the community you can search for problems you are currently facing and see others having the same issue and solutions for those issues. If not, you can pose a question to the whole community and champions of the product and others can chime in to provide suggestions to fix your needs. The community is truly a 24/7 place to get your answers quickly.

    Performance
    Adobe
    There are times when it is slightly slow for us, where we sit on a screen waiting for it to load. This could be our internet since we have had the same issue occasionally with other systems, but it is enough to make you crazy.

    Support Rating
    Adobe
    On multiple occasions we've had Marketo support (technical and license based) issues. Technical issues were minor and resolved within a day. License based issues (even things encouraged by Marketo for partners, like provisioning another license) took WEEKS. They actually took so long to respond that the client we were working with withdrew from the contract because they were no longer convinced Marketo was capable of supporting their business. As an agency trying to sell the software, you can only explain away so much before they just made us look silly.

    Every time I have reached out to Mixmax I automatically get an email from a trained professional who has perfect insight into my issue with an understandable reason to why I am having and issue offers me a solution. The wait time is only around 5 minutes and they are always offering sympathy in certain situations.

    Our account rep stopped out in Lincoln, NE to ensure we were properly set up and running. This was very much appreciated. I was very, very new at this point, so I can't comment very much on the extent of what was taught because I was still brand new to the company and the system

    Online Training
    Adobe
    I had never used Marketo prior to taking this job so online training was my starting point. I was able to follow along, it was interesting and quickly and efficiently taught me what I needed to know without a lot of fluff. It was far from boring and really helped me get my hands dirty with Marketo.

    1. Have a content marketing plan to run in parallel with the marketing automation installation--you'll need a lot of content to make full use of Marketo's capabilities. 2. Work with sales (and ISRs) to define and document a workflow--build your Marketo installation around how you do business--not figure out how to apply your business to the tools 3. Spend time of data cleaning--both an initial project as well as a strategy for ongoing data management. We found some change manaement issues (no more appending ZZZ to the first name to identify contacts who have left the company, for example, or prohibiting the entry of "info@company.com" email addresses). 4. Find some champions in the sales and ISR teams. You'll have both fans and detractors--work with the fans to build some success stories

    Alternatives Considered
    Adobe
    Adobe Marketo Engage is one of the best email sending platforms I have worked with, because there is so much you can do on a lead scoring area and also then connect this to other platforms such as Salesforce. It allows for seamless reporting and working alongside sales colleagues. We chose Adobe Marketo Engage because it allows for more sophisticated audience segmentation and management of ongoing large scale nurture flows across a number of complex criteria.

    Tellwise is a bit more expensive $29/month/user and provides a bit more extended functionality for email and marketing automation. However, Mixmax's feature-set is still suitable for marketing automation and covers everything that is necessary for most sales for early-stage startups, for a much cheaper price (just $9/month/user for the "starter" plan).

    Scalability
    Adobe
    We look at scaleability in a few different ways. First, the speed while using Marketo has remained relatively the same as our database has grown. Though I would say Marketo is slow at times, it has not gotten slower over the last few years. If anything, it has improved, and they are working to improve it. Second, the amount of programs we have developed in Marketo has exponentially grown as well. Marketo has allowed us to drastically increase our output without having to drastically increase our headcount.

    • Mixmax has probably saved me 2 or 3 business deals simply by having the "remind" feature because I didn't forget about the communication with the person.
    • It saves 10% of my time from having to search through email to find important communications with business contacts.
