    E2Open [Digital Transformation Solutions] is best used for customers/partners that do not have their own marketing automation software. It provides them a space to use already built in campaigns for use. A scenario where it may not be the best recommended tool is in a partner type scenario, such as ours. Currently, the tool does not have a fully customizable campaign for a partner to go in and build out a campaign from scratch. They can only take bits and pieces (depending on what is allowed) and make changes as they see fit.

    Esker
    Esker On Demand is great for Sales Order Processing order creation. We use it with web services. It can make table read calls, test order creations (simulate order), and help with order creation. They are also working on change order management, but if you have multiple order entry methods or touch points, this feature may not be usable for your company.

    Esker
    • We can't enter credit memos in Esker. Need to enter in SAP and then link.
    • PO invoices that were trained to go into the PO bucket, route into the non-PO buckets.
    • Freight invoices that have had hundreds going into the non-PO bucket have a tendency to route to the PO-bucket because a PO number is referenced on page 7.

    Esker
    Esker does everything that it promises to do, but it is very hard to figure out. I am a very tech-savvy person, but I needed extensive training to be able to use the basic functions of Esker. Once you know what you're doing, it's not too hard, but I don't understand why they couldn't make it easier to use.

    E2Open [Digital Transformation Solutions] was very cost effective and does provide a simple tool for us to provide our partner network. We have a vast array of partners, some of which do not have any marketing expertise. This tool makes it that much easier for a partner to take advantage of a tool that does all ends of automation for them.

    Esker
    I have listed a few that we considered but there were many more in the initial assessment, Esker was priced well and had the best user interface. Was really easy to use and the implementation process was well designed. It was a system that could handle a two tiered delegations of authority for project expenditure and operational expenditure.

    Return on Investment
    E2open
    • The data that they organize for us, give clear sell in opportunities
    • We can spend our marketing money better on the product that is not selling as much as expected
    • We can make sure our factories produce the right products because we have insights in which products are really in demand by our consumers.

    Esker
    • We now have reporting available down to the individual field level (changes, errors, etc) and can calculate cost to serve.
    • It replaced on-premise hardware with cloud SaaS that is more cost effective and risk adverse.
    • It is more intuitive; we can put new hires on order entry and experience less user errors. As a solution owner who fixes problems and answers questions, I don't find myself having to "think" about Esker and it has become a smaller part of my job now that end-users are more self-sufficient.
