PathFactory Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use PathFactory to create bingeable digital experiences for our customers and viewers. By using PathFactory, we have access to analytics on viewership and customer engagement, and it also makes the editing process more straightforward and easier. We also create gated microsites for our top customers through which we communicate with them and share tailored content. This is part of the company's ABM approach.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's a great tool if you want to create experiences on web and share content with your audience - especially if you want to create bingeable content. For a microsite, I would like to see more modules that build up a page, and great examples for inspiration.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use PathFactory to host content marketing / demand generation materials. Our marketing team hosts hundreds of gated or publicly available documents on it. It connects to SalesForce but we've had issues with data quality. In our experience, the overall UX is clunky and dated. To me, it's essentially a high-priced PDF hosting service with limited analytics and customer support.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would not recommend this tool. In my opinion, the tool itself is awful, and the customer support is even worse. We've had 3+ CSMs in a year. Each time it's like starting at square zero for us. We've had data ingestion issues that they haven't been able to figure out. We have a monthly call with them and, in our experience, each time we just talk in circles. They keep telling us we should move to their "upgraded" content experience but can't explain to us why. Our team hates this tool but we have so many documents on it that it's too difficult to untangle ourselves at this time.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Host all content. Place like-themed content in playlists that encourage visitors to binge additional content after reading the initial target content. Tracks content visitors and provides valuable intent data to aid in pipeline development and sales efforts.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited: Big content library. Lack of existing content analysis. Need for email campaigns on specific topics to drive content binging. Not well suited: content is not a focus of the marketing efforts. Lack of marketing campaigns to drive readership of content.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use PathFactory in our ABM strategy as well as our email nurturing and blog. It is a great tool to encourage prospects to engage with multiple thought leadership assets at once and to guide them to the next asset that they might find interesting. We also are able to use their Templated Experiences to create microsites with related content for specific outreach.

Likelihood to Recommend

PathFactory is a great content management and engagement tool. Using it for your thought leadership library would be great - a hopeful future state for us. It is also great as a landing page or target track to send people to from ads to encourage interaction with more than 1 asset at a time.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

PathFactory is a very easy-to-use content management system that enables personalized and customized journeys for ABM strategies. One of its best features is being able to create content libraries that provide visitors with different and complementary content rather than having a single CTA for each. PathFactory connects with best-in-class visitor data intelligence that nurtures web journeys and moreover it provides pretty insightful dashboards on who's visiting the site, from which companies, etc.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for personalized experiences. Less appropriate for solution pages.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use PathFactory to create tracks of content and resource pages that allow our users to consume different assets that are relevant and helpful for them.

Likelihood to Recommend

PathFactory has helped us improve the speed and diversity of how we offer content to users.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use PathFactory mainly through Content tracks and microsites(microsite & Template Experience) to create personalized, self-directed content experiences that drive deeper engagement. Content tracks allow us to bundle related assets so prospects can binge relevant resources in a single session, while microsites support our ABM strategy by offering tailored destinations for priority accounts. This helps solve challenged like fragmented content journeys, low visibility into buyer engagement, and scaling personalization without heavy web development. By leveraging PathFactory's engagement analytics, we can better qualify leads, enable sales with meaningful insights, and ultimately accelerate deal velocity.

Likelihood to Recommend

PathFactory is well suited for scenarios like nurture campaigns, where we can package different assets into one single tracks to encourage binge consumption, or in ABM, where microsites allow us to deliver personalized, account-specific experiences at scale.

On the other hands, it is less appropriate for simple one-off landing pages, highly customized web designs, or organizations with very limited content libraries.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use PathFactory for most of our core content experiences. We use it to create tracks of multiple pieces of content for newsletters, email campaigns, etc. We also use it to build landing pages/microsites for ABM campaigns. The main use case is providing prospects/customers with multiple pieces of content in one place, rather than a single asset. Each track encourages people to "binge" on multiple pieces.

Likelihood to Recommend

PathFactory is easy to use, so it's great for content teams that aren't technical and want to quickly and easily upload/link content for various experiences. It's also highly-customizable, with the team willing to build out unique functionality for clients via scripts, and to improve the product. It's much faster/easier than most landing page platforms, when it comes to presenting multiple pieces of content.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

PathFactory has helped us to bring our Document Management and the consumer experience to a new level. Paired with the automations and reporting options it's providing high value and visibility on performance. We went from thinking to knowing. Depending on how much content you have, the set up takes some time and resources, but it was definitely worth it and I wouldn't want to go back to how it was before.

Likelihood to Recommend

Instead of just looking at one document, you're able to create journeys based on topics which is super important to increase dwell time and ultimately show consumers things they might now have seen otherwise.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use PathFactory to create content playlists and templated experiences for our Account Based Marketing (ABM), marketing emails, nurture programs, newsletter, and post event communication efforts. It houses all of our content and helps us provide attribution and ROI on each piece or group of campaigns.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited for what is aims to do, less appropriate for more advanced situations or requirements. For small to medium sized business.
