What is Adobe Marketo Engage?
Adobe Marketo Engage, from Adobe since 2018, aims to help marketing teams drive demand and growth in their companies by delivering exceptional experiences in concert with sales at every stage of the customer journey.
The challenge these teams face is that everyone today expects a personalized experience whenever they interact with a company - they don’t have patience for generic marketing and the last thing they want is a cold call from sales. So to stay competitive, marketing teams are scrambling to understand customers better, so they can give them a better experience, because this is disrupting entire industries. And a big part of what’s needed is figuring out how marketing and sales can do a better job together.
The vendor states Adobe Marketo Engage redefines Marketing Automation by helping these companies bring together the customer data, content, automation and analytics needed for marketing and sales to coordinate engagement with customers that’s personalized and measurable at every touchpoint - and do it with efficiency and scale.

A Marketing Must Have!
Adobe Marketo Engage is used within my current organization to capture and score leads before passing them through to salesforce. Although our marketing operations team is the main owner of the application, it is a lifesaver for tracking leads and their behavior and acts as a central place of truth. I highly recommend Adobe Marketo Engage to my colleagues running demand generation campaigns at other companies!
- Great for lead scoring
- Advanced integration with salesforce
- Central place of truth for lead tracking
- Not as intuitive as other competitors
- Can be confusing if you’re not properly trained
- Lead Management
- Prospecting / New Business
Our main goal with using Adobe Marketo Engage is to increase net new leads that convert into product sales (revenue). As a month-to-month SaaS organization, we track MRR more heavily than ARR. The focus is to increase MRR and this is accomplished by tracking lead behavior and scoring them appropriately through Adobe Marketo Engage.

Great Account Based Marketing Tool
We used Adobe Marketo Engage to connect with individuals in the trucking industry who have different job titles, experience levels, and organization functions at a variety of types of transportation organizations. The tools allows us to use Account Based Marketing methods to connect with these individuals by creating audiences, reaching them through the appropriate channels, and designing a more customized touchpoint instead of a blast email campaign.
- AI Driven Audiences
- Personalized Touch points
- Campaign Cloning
- Account Based Marketing
- The user interface of Adobe Marketo Engage has room for improvement to make the tool easier to use and understand.
- Compared to tools like HubSpot, Marketo requires much more training and is less intuitive.
- Lead Management
Using the Lead Management tool in Adobe Marketo Engage allows you to view the lead, the account that lead is associated with, the 'last interesting moment' tracked (email opened, landing page viewed, no activity, etc.), and engagement rating all in one dashboard. This is helpful to both sales and marketing to have a complete view of your customers' engagement and activity.

Great software!
We primarily use it for creating and sending out newsletters to create brand awareness. We send the newsletters we create to our customers and new prospects to promote our company. We follow up on send-outs by monitoring the customer's interactions with our newsletter. We will assign the customer as a lead based on a lead scoring system.
- A wide variety of email templates allows the user to be creative in designing newsletters.
- You can implement a lead scoring system to nurture leads before you assign them to your sales team.
- After a campaign has been sent out, there are a wide variety of reports you can run to track the customer's interaction with your newsletter.
- Better integration with other software's.
- Implementing photos into newsletters can make them come out as blurry.
- Product Launches
For product launches, we use Adobe Marketo Engage to promote the product and make sure all of our customers and prospects are aware of the new product we offer.
We use Adobe Marketo Engage to manage our customer data (inbound lead traffic) from form fills through the website and other paid media campaigns and then market to them integrating email and other native display platforms. Lastly, we use the platform to influence our pipeline reportings and make optimizations to our content based on certain KPIs and progression.
- User experience and the design of the platform is very good
- Customer support and research library
- Brand presence and networking opportunities are good
- I think there is some room for improvement in terms of competitive pricing
- The tool sometimes has bugs and I wish there was a more clear product road map
- The platform can get complex at times if you do not have previous experience with an enterprise level tool.
- Product Launches
- Cross-Sell
- Lead Management
- Product Launches - We use the platform for brand awareness and email campaigns

- Account-basedd marketing
- B2B lead generation
- User engagement
- Smart programs
- Fast integration
- Adding multiple channels

Great Asset!
I used it to learn about Marketo through the training videos, found out about the Adobe Summit, and use it for Analytics for work.
- Organized well.
- Is very adaptable to company and job function.
- Offers a variety of tools.
- Runs slow sometimes.
- Is changing so often that it is difficult to ever become an expert on it.
- Isn't thorough enough.

My favorite Marketing Automation platform to date
We utilize the product to support client KPIs and needs. In my role, I use it to automate communications from nurture sends to move leads through the funnel or get them re-engaged, to housing more complex programs such as scoring, applications for advocacy programs, etc.
- User Interface - easy to use
- Providing Training/Resources - learn online easily
- Marketing Nation Community - a lot of supportive people and help
- More advanced reporting so that a 3rd party tool isn't needed
- Product Launches
- Upsell
- Cross-Sell
- Customer Service
- Prospecting / New Business
The sales outcomes can be different from client to client. For some, it may be increased product sales, for others, it may be creating more advocates for a product that will then help sell more of the product. The platform does well with many options to help clients achieve the goals that they are trying to get to.
We use Marketo for a variety of purposes, including but not limited to keeping our customers engaged and reselling to them lead acquisition and forms multi-touch tracking and attribution creating email nurture campaigns keeping Sales Reps informed of activities and status of customers through scoring sales enablement landing page creation
- Dynamic content and snippet features
- Landing page and email builders
- Ability to clone assets, automations, entire campaigns
- Ability to customise links for assets
- Marketo Sales Insight should be a native feature
- Email builder could be improved to have more out-of-the-box modules
- Product Launches
- Upsell
- Cross-Sell
- Prospecting / New Business
Launch a product successfully, create demand, and build adoption Upsell existing customers Cross-sell relevant products to existing customers Lead acquisition through Marketo forms, optimizing as time goes on
I currently use Adobe Marketo Engage for customer success tech touches. I also use it for current customer nurturing, welcome, and onboarding. Use case includes being able to send welcome emails based on the "closed-won" status in SFDC. Additionally, building out a program that allows an email track (not opened, follow-ups, reminders.) Another business problem is reporting, this is where Adobe Marketo Engage really lacks.
- Email programs
- A/b testing
- Salesforce integration
- Reporting of email programs. We have to report for individual emails, but no dashboard or reports for programs that have multiple emails.
- Building out an email template and layout. The options and customization lacks compared to Act-On.
- Managing the many folders in marketing activities. I wish it was cleaner and the user interface was improved.
- Customer Service
- Other
I am on the post-sales, current customers/customer success team. My job is to initiate the first tech touch experience. As far as revenue, I'm not driving $$ but I am reducing churn by increasing product implementation % and product usage %.

Adobe Marketo Engage: the ultimate B2B marketing tool

April 11, 2022
Industry Standard SAAS
Marketo is our main tool for marketing automation. We use it across the company to automate email send, upload and capture lead information, and host various gates for documentation. This reduces the number of hours that get wasted on manual send by automating various processes.
- Reliable platform.
- Industry standard.
- Templatization with ease.
- Loads slowly.
- UI is not user friendly.
- Error warning comes after you activate a campaign, could come before while importing data.
- Lead Management
- Prospecting / New Business

Brief review for Adobe Marketo Engage
Adobe Marketo Engage is used as a deployment as well as segmentation marketing tool in my organization. I am using the same for sending ABM campaigns as well as one of the major segments of Marketing called Nurture campaigns.
- Audience generation
- Email configuration
- Email deployment
- Audience segmentation
- Response tracking
- Audience updation for DNC
- More complex segmentation

- More area for sending more dynamic email templates in form of different blocks

Review of Adobe Marketo Engage
We use Adobe Marketo Engage primarily for on-going email journeys and ad-hoc email sends across 2 Marketo instances, B2C on behalf of a client and B2B. We also host some landing pages on it, and send sales alerts to our sales teams about potential inquiries, as well as use its data to create various reports on performance. The "problems" Adobe Marketo Engage addresses are the creation and sending of various email marketing campaigns, hosting of other marketing assets, connectivity to our Salesforce CRMs, and reporting capabilities-both in basic metrics and more in-depth ones
- WSIWYG editor for emails. Easy to pick up and learn for our creative team, while myself and my team can get into the weeds and edit code, troubleshoot advanced issues
- Easy segmentation-no SQL needed (although I know it), yet the logic lets you apply and/or filters at your discretion, with parentheses it makes it possible to use complex segments
- Reporting templates- Easy to pull basic metrics, email link performance, etc. as those are default report options upon creation
- Dynamic emails-Can't edit code!
- Code editing in general-some features like CTA text color are only editable in code, and the HTML is pretty messy in my opinion.
- SUPER BUGGY- constantly having to refresh the page, make edits a second time b/c they didn't save, etc.
- Not being able to delete assets being used by other things ( fields, segmentations, etc.). Most of those assets using them are archived, so I have to go into each individual asset, delete or edit it, then make changes or delete the thing I started with. Total pain and ridiculously time-consuming from my experience.
- Limited amount of segmentations per account.
- Upsell
- Cross-Sell
- Lead Management
- Prospecting / New Business
Upsell/Cross-sell- We use this to ladder current customers to the next level in hopes that they make the leap from one stage to another
Prospecting/New business- We want to take inquiries, and advance them further down the funnel. Our business has a long funnel from interest to purchase, so it's important to get the inquiries to reach out to us
Lead Management- We have re-engage campaigns we send out, and newsletters of an informational purpose for inquiries, with a soft sell

A vast and useful platform - more than I was expecting
I create a variety of campaigns, ranging from regular/single emails to nurture/engagements, and manage the database in terms of email segmentation and communication. I also run the analytics for my campaigns, as well as the analytics for our existing Marketo admin, whom I shall be replaced in the coming months.

Marketo delivers what it promises!
We use Marketo Engage to run our regional and global marketing activities, including email campaigns, tracking analytics, and scoring models. We have it integrated with Salesforce. When leads interact with the campaign content, e.g. opens, clicks, conversions, this constitutes the leads score, highlights interesting moments, and notifies us whether our leads have higher intent throughout the prospect lifecycle.
- Email campaigns.
- Lead scoring.
- Analytics
- Platform speed.
- Improved UI.

Top-notch Marketing Automation
Adobe Marketo Engage is a beast when it comes to email marketing automation. Compared to other marketing automation tools I've used so far, it provides so much granular control. I have run numerous campaigns in the last year, both for our organization and for our clients, and Adobe Marketo Engage has never disappointed me. From simple one-off email campaigns to complex multi-step automated campaigns, Adobe Marketo Engage does it all. Not only that, the analytics and reporting section offers granular control too. It enables us to build the right metrics and measure marketing efforts more accurately. If you're looking for something that is both powerful and allows for granular control, Adobe Marketo Engage is the way to go.
- Marketing automation
- Analytics and reporting
- Segmentation and personalisation
- Design and UX
- Forms

Marketo Makes Everything Easy!
We use Marketo for all of our email and website needs. I wasn't an employee when they used the past software but Marketo makes everything so much easier than anything I've had previous experience with. Adobe is so supportive also and has a lot of learning opportunities.
- Analytics
- Design
- Email targeting
- Nothing!

Marketo, big potential, marketing automation hero
Marketo is a great marketing automation tool with a huge list of options. You can fully create your own programs in order to nurture your customers. In comparison to other well-known tools, it is a bit hard to get used to, but there are more options to customize everything you need.
- Customized nurturing flows
- Multi language emails and forms
- Database management
- Analytics, not so good yet
- Ease of use, it could be more user friendly
- Speed, sometimes its slow
- Upsell
- Cross-Sell
- Lead Management
- Prospecting / New Business
With Marketo, we try to serve our customers best by sending them tailored interesting content. We believe that enabling our customers with the content they really want is the way to go. Besides that, we use Marketo for sending whitepapers and some other messages.

Automate your interactions with users!
At Intelza, we developed a voice robot service. One of the directions was a project that automated calls to customers after visiting our client's websites, and these calls were made according to certain conditions. Then I ran into Marketo, which was used by the customer. We made automation using this tool and then began to offer a turnkey solution to our other customers.
- Flexible analytics system.
- Access to the necessary objects and events by API.
- Excellent reports on everything you need.
- The entry threshold is quite high and you need to spend a lot of time studying the materials.
- API documentation is sometimes incomprehensible.

Automation Marketing That Delivers
Adobe Marketo Engage is one of our main marketing automation platforms. We use it weekly to send out our monthly drip programs, email blasts, lead generations, etc. The automation and analytics features are wonderful - especially how it seamlessly works without other internal programs. The only flaw is that it's not very user-friendly or easy to learn, but once you get a hang of it, it's great!
- Marketing automation
- reporting features/ analytics
- easy to run marketing campaigns
- meets our organizations requirements
- The user interface could use an upgrade
- Difficult to learn/ not the most user friendly

Great email campaign management tool
I use Adobe Marketo Engage whenever we create email campaigns for our customers. the biggest issue we have seen is connectivity issues with all our marketing stacks and being able to work through our segmentation process. Adobe Marketo Engage is not always the easiest to learn and to know what you are doing so I would suggest that the interface becomes a bit more customer-friendly. I have been working in Adobe Marketo Engage for a few years and I enjoy it, it's a good tool.
- basic email metrics
- basic email link performance
- reliable when we use it
- be more easy to navigate
- more reporting
- customer friendly interface
