    If you have a rather large budget and/or several clients to take advantage of the AMC, you would likely benefit from its all-in-one solutions. There are a myriad of excellent tools for digital marketing professionals to take advantage of within the suite, and creating a campaign becomes much more manageable for collaboration and execution through to reporting thanks to the suite's vertically integrated nature.

    Emarsys is well suited for any company with an established list of contacts and an interest in email marketing. It's easy to manage, scalable, and has plenty of customization features to make your emails your own. If you're ever stuck, the responsive customer service team will help you out. I recommend Emarsys for medium to large size companies.

    Pros
    Adobe
    • Content Analysis - Between the Pages report and the participation metrics which show what percentage of conversions a page was involved with, you get an excellent analysis of what content is important and effective, and what is not. With the ability to add up to ten metrics side by side, drill downs, and power tools like Ad Hoc Analysis, you will know exactly where you need better content.
    • Pathing - Adobe Analytics captures every single path of every single visit of every single visitor and puts it at your fingertips. There are tools to aggregate common paths so you find out how frequent they are, lots of good page flow reports, and tools to pick out specific paths that will keep you from being overwhelmed. This has been absolutely invaluable to us as we have learned about how our customers are using our sites and which paths are leading to exits rather than converions.
    • Customization - There are so many custom metrics and dimensions you can add and you can create segments based on all of them, along with the out of the box metrics and dimensions. You truly get an implementation that is specific to your company, your needs, your strategy, and your site.

    Cons
    Adobe
    • Customer services could be improved for smaller clients. Adobe Marketing Cloud provides great support for most of its customers, however, it may not work well enough for smaller engagements.
    • Adobe could offer multiple price options based on the usage, which is missing at the moment.

    • The email and content builder is significantly worse than other email marketing platforms I've used
    • Emails campaigns cannot be used in more than one automation flow
    • Amount of emails collected and being sent for smart insight are inaccurate
    • I've rarely completed a task without some type of user interface error
    • Customer service mostly directs you to help center on website
    • You have to pay extra for training
    • You have to pay extra for reporting in which the system cannot provide
    • Lengthy contract with a high price tag

    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.

    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 product can doo all the things and do them well. Just make sure you get all the discounts available before closing the deal.

    Emarsys is the email specialist service giver for our whole association. We use it to send custom and mass messages to our clients across three distinct business divisions. Email advertising is one of our greatest income driving channels due to focusing on limitations from deals regions. We can arrive at our clients through email with pertinent data and advancements, all driving income for the business. I have not used any other product marketing automation services.
