    Maropost is a little more expensive than its competitors. I'd say Maropost is well suited for medium and larger businesses, not small businesses unless they're really good at utilizing e-mail and monetizing it.

    Having used both Salesforce and Microsoft Marketing, the integration is much tighter and the automation and workflow is much tighter using PowerAutomate. Reporting on tasks is better in Salesforce, but the ability to fully and quickly integrate into the Microsoft Azure stack is well worth the hassle of quickly generating reports.

    Pros
    Maropost
    • Maropost is particularly strong in the customization aspect. As a sales person, I love using MSC because I can customize everything from A-Z.
    • The features are endless, a personal fav is the Journey's feature with Marketing Cloud.
    • Client support is quick to respond.

    • Builds dynamic audiences using real-time CRM and behavioral data without manual list maintenance.
    • Triggers communications based on actions such as purchase, visit date, or post-visit timing.
    • Manages high-volume transactional and lifecycle emails with consistent governance and compliance.

    Cons
    Maropost
    • The Sales Department shouldn't promise the customer what support can't deliver on.
    • They should also brush up on some ethics courses. It's appalling to me how they conduct business. Buyer beware.

    • Currently marketing is more contact centric, should add the flexibility of doing segmentation as well as customer journey on leads without associating with contact
    • Pricing is based on number of contact, even if you are not marketing all of them.
    • Cannot reuse the existing marketing lists created in CRM for marketing as seamlessly as in ClickDimensions, even though both uses the same Dataverse

    Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing is extremely usable in order to manage all of my organization's customer information across the organization. Further we use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing to manage all of our marketing campaigns from beginning to end. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing makes my organization more able to run a professional marketing strategy.

    Support Rating
    Maropost
    Though relatively responsive, the responses were always utterly unhelpful and sometime not even relevant to the questions we asked. It quickly became apparent that it was outsourced copy/paste support.

Whether it is the availability of twenty-four/seven customer support or the highly-trained, very friendly customer support personnel, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing has the support you are looking for.

    Maropost had everything we needed and more. We loved that fact that one price covered everything. As we move forward we don't have to go back and purchase modules that we are now ready for. No one wants to go back to management and ask for more money

    While the cost was significantly more than other vendors we looked at, the tools are similar to our previous tool so conversion would be (somewhat) easy. We chose it because it directly integrates with Microsoft Dynamics CRM - which we integrated at the same time.

    Return on Investment
    Maropost
    • Lack of data and information about our users that we can use to get smarter in our segmentation hurts us in that we lose branded deals or partnerships.
    • Takes too much time to export reports and gain attrition reporting information, manually preparing reports is not a good use of time for anyone on our team.

    • It took a few months to get things in order and I believe I could’ve gotten started sooner, but I had to learn about it first
