A brief look at Aprimo and comparisons
Across the whole sector organization. It allows for campaign management - through submission, editing, review and deployment and the HTML of email campaigns - creating, editing, printing, final files for banners/web ads/large prints/etc.
- I love in particular the ability to add comments directly on the piece I am making edits/comments against
- It is organized in a way that is easy to tell which sections you must fill out
- Perhaps it was an internal issue but majority of our back end admin was based overseas and this made time zone challenging
- We could not edit a small change ourselves and would need an admin to edit it - this was silly when it was something simple like one missing word

Perspective from an admin 1 year in to Aprimo rollout
- The strongest suit of the application is workflow management. As an admin, I am able to create workflows that will move a job along it's path automatically from open to closure.
- The Job Starter portal allows the administrator to create forms that internal customers can use to request services. The design options for the forms are limited but the data is completely controlled by the admin so it is flexible
- The tool uses a pretty standard SQL interface for reports. If you've done SQL you can do reports here and it does have a nice easy to use facility for auto-distribution
- As an admin, it is not easy to use. Plan on a good 6 months in the tool before you get the hang of it, and a year before you approach expert level. The different objects you need to work with to build a flow are spread out in the system so it does take time and work to wrap your head around how everything fits together and to be able to easily envision how to build your workflow.
- The UI is pretty bare bones. It doesn't turn on marketing users.
- The support from Teradata is lacking. If you're an on-demand customer, Teradata is not invested in your success.

Aprimo in Metro C&C
Metro C&C uses Aprimo to manage all Direct Marketing campaigns, select customers for e-mail sends, SMS and survey. I work in the CRM Team and I'm the only employee that uses Aprimo.
- Intuitive mask
- Easy to use
- No limits to create campaign
- Execution time
- Simply customize analysis
- Easy linked to other platform
- Enables the allocation across brands of various marketing activities, essential for multi-brand executions that we do freuently.
- Connects seamlessly to IBM Cognos to create comprehensive reports that allow analysts and managers to see their budgets at any given point in time.
- Interface is easy to navigate, with an ability to customize based on your usage needs.
- Improved forecasting and planning tools, currently Aprimo does not enable teams to easily delineate starting budgets, actual spend, planned spend, and remaining budget.
- Better filtering mechanisms - we rely on text lookups that can easily create problems if employees input misspellings.
- Needs a capability to show snapshots of given points in time, for example, what the budget and plan looks like at the outset of the year vs. halfway through vs. end of year.

AMSOD Review - a 2 year experience.
- Database segmentation - Aprimo's segmentation tool is very complete and allows the user to do advanced selections and multiple simuntaneous actions.
- Deliverability - Aprimo has a very high delivery rate in my experience.
- Lead Management - The lead management tool is powerful and allow users to define personal criteria for lead nurturing.
- Compatibility - I had some problems with my corporate firewall, internet browser configuration and the fact that Aprimo runs only on Microsoft Internet Explorer.
- The online performance has a lot to improve. The user interface response time sometimes is bigger than we'd like.
- Aprimo does not have native integration interface, so we had to buy another tool to integrate it with our CRM and ERP systems.

Truly difficult to use!
Initially it was purchased so that we could track every step of projects, and lay out stopping points as well as figure out how many rounds projects went, easily. One of our large projects had over 100 steps easily, and once we tried implementing it, it fell off so many steps eventually we could not use it to create and track the project fully. In some instances I personally used it as a go-between to review a campaign email, but asked users to login to Aprimo, review the email, and then supply their feedback in Aprimo. No one used it correctly, most people reviewed outside of Aprimo and just sent me an email with their feedback. It was supposed to be used across departments, but mainly we just use it mid-sized group under 20 of managers and directors now. Currently we just minimally track projects here, including project codes, description and status, effort levels. It was a major learning curve to just get familiar with any part of the terminology and how to move just within the program, such as "save": vs "close" - if you choose close, it ends the project timeline and one is now entering information such as closing costs, delivered on time etc. We could not get our graphics team to really easily use it either. One bug was that when you were reviewing pdfs, it was not easily magnified, so missed or double periods were hard to notice. We found it hard to learn and work with, which is why we use it minimally now.
- If you want a program that lays out step by step processes this is the program for you. Of course you have to list all these before entering them, and hopefully the program lays things out exactly right.
- It can allow you to see what projects you are working on, if you have the opportunity to get them into the system.
- Very difficult to learn, confusing language and practically no help to speak of.
- too easy to delete or close a project, and no way to reset or skip a step. (this happens all the time.)

Built by marketers, for marketers.
- In general the capabilities within Marketing Resource Management seem like a platform built by marketers for marketers.
- The out of the box processes are pretty
- The uniformity of the user experience across modules makes user training and change management a lot We are still in early stages of using the reporting capabilities, but we can see lots of value in what they Unica was not as standardized.
- We are still very much focused on adoption.
- Users have to adjust to Aprimo. More challenging for organizations that have deep-rooted processes and this is something that has to be addressed in training.
- The portal full application experience varies greatly and it can become cumbersome for users to communicate via Aprimo on projects.
