Overall Satisfaction with Salesforce Marketing Cloud Email Studio

We have used [Salesforce Marketing Cloud Email Studio] for email marketing purposes for sales outreach. Since this is an app is native to salesforce and easy to use for less technical users, sales team uses this for outreach.
  • Trackable in salesforce
  • Sales team can use this as this is easy to use
  • Can segment the database well as we don't have to import product related data into Marketo and then segment them
  • User Interface can be improved
  • Expensive for small organizations
  • Initial onboarding takes time
  • It helps do personalized campaigns
  • Reduces stress within marketers to support sales initiatives
  • it is salesforce native so easily trackable
We selected Marketo for marketing team and salesforce marketing cloud in no way stacks up against Marketo. We got it for sales outreach[.]

[Salesforce Marketing Cloud Email Studio] is absolutely not for Marketers trying to do marketing at scale. It is good for one off sales email and that too specifically for product promotions, seasonal discounts etc.
