Adobe Marketing Cloud
Chose Adobe Marketing Cloud
I would say it is the leader in the industry and was easily the number one choice in two of the three places I have implemented a marketing automation platform. Hubspot is its closest competitor and ended up being the better choice for a membership association but the Adobe …
Chose Adobe Marketing Cloud
We have also used CMS. That software is very outdated and is causing a constant headache for my company, Marketo and Adobe Marketing Cloud are far easier to use and have more options
Chose Adobe Marketing Cloud
Marketo, Hubspot, Act-On, Salesforce Marketing Cloud are a few of the competitors. However, we decided to implement Adobe Marketing Cloud because of its end to end capabilities to better manage content, campaigns and understand user engagement with analytics by sharing the same …
Chose Adobe Marketing Cloud
In comparison to other services, Adobe is particularly robust, and the platform is better suited to customers with a high level of maturity in the digital environment, who need a platform to overcome and solve day-to-day problems.
Chose Adobe Marketing Cloud
Adobe marketing cloud was a strong fit for our agency, considering we already take advantage of Adobe Creative Suite for creative projects. Competitor marketing platforms have often been tempting to evaluate considering they are often far less expensive, but the extra costs of …
Chose Adobe Marketing Cloud
Adobe's feature set is more robust and progressive. I don't want to invest significantly in technology, just to feel like I'm going to have to upgrade within a few years. I have more confidence that Adobe's products will scale over time than I do in IBM's products, with the …
Chose Adobe Marketing Cloud
As an agency, we are vendor agnostic so we typically recommend a tool based on our client's specific needs. Both Google Analytics 360 and Adobe Marketing Cloud are powerful tools, but if a client does not have the appropriate organizational pre-requisites to leverage the …
Chose Adobe Marketing Cloud
We really have not evaluated any other products. I have used the Adobe products in the past and realized that the costs of purchasing the individual programs would have been too much for our organization. Using the cloud gives us tools we never thought we would be able top have …
Chose Adobe Marketing Cloud
Adobe Marketing Cloud is really the best program out there, I'm not sure how it stacks up against most other analytical clients, because I either don't use them as often, or my clients specifically request Adobe Marketing Cloud. Adobe Marketing Cloud (AMC) is basically the …
Chose Adobe Marketing Cloud
If you are an enterprise, there is simply no comparison. The sampling in Google Analytics will lead you astray. The lack of pathing will leave you unaware of how people navigate. You will essentially be making all of your decisions based on bad data. There's a stunning lack of …
Chose Adobe Marketing Cloud
Adobe Marketing Cloud is a great solution if you need individual-user level analytics, a high degree of customization and integration with sales or customer management systems.

However, if you want to understand how segments behave in an aggregate level, understand the sources …
Chose Adobe Marketing Cloud
Before Adobe Search & Promote, we used, if I am not mistaken, a system called Easyask. But whatever it was, we needed to host it ourselves and give the proper maintenance. It consumed a lot of our time, which we now save by using Adobe.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
This is definitely a tool for enterprises. You need to have a certain level of complexity before you pay for this tool. You should have multiple funnels, websites, or an insane amount of content. If you are involved in ecommerce, this is a worthwhile investment. However, if you have a smaller site, little content, only a single funnel, or don't sell anything online, this is a much less worthwhile tool for you.

MavSocial is best suited for small businesses with 10 profiles to manage or less. The next best would be businesses with 11-30 profiles to manage. Above that, I believe there is other software that may be able to provide the same/similar features for similar cost and with more quality control on their system.

Cons
  • Adobe Marketing Cloud is fairly expensive compared to some of the other tools out there. While it does provide an excellent tool for the price, it can be a little daunting to some.
  • The learning curve with Adobe Marketing Cloud is fairly steep. When we bring on new employees that will work directly with the tool, it can take weeks until they are up to speed.
  • Like it mentioned before, the initial implementation was a fairly lengthy and complicated process. Staying on top of new campaigns does require quite a bit of knowledge of the tool and our process in order to be properly launched.

Although a powerful tool, Google Analytics has been catching up in capabilities and is much simpler to use. As analytics move to the spotlight, more sections in a company want to have access to it. However, creating straightforward reports/dashboards and sharing them with different groups is not a strength of Adobe Marketing Cloud.

Adobe marketing cloud was a strong fit for our agency, considering we already take advantage of Adobe Creative Suite for creative projects. Competitor marketing platforms have often been tempting to evaluate considering they are often far less expensive, but the extra costs of Adobe Marketing Cloud have been considerably offset when taking into account how much overhead and internal efficiency has been added to our process. That said, Moz and HubSpot, the two primary competitor platforms I have sampled, both had much better billing and estimating tools, a critical part of agency life. They also better handled the ever-changing social media landscape and were often quicker to adapt to emerging marketing trends.

Return on Investment
  • Allowed us to increase the number of emails that went out the door without inundating our members with more email due to the levels of segmentation we could now activate.
  • We can add communication limits to make sure people only get a certain amount of messages from s in a given time period.
  • We decreased the time it took for a lead to make it to the sales team to a matter of seconds.
