Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Marketo Engage

We use Marketo for inbound lead capture, segmentation, nurture, scoring and passing off to our sales team CRM. This database collects leads from a variety of channels - our website, events (both in person and digital), advertising platforms (Google Adwords, Facebook, LinkedIn) as well as unique channels such as the SFDC AppExchange, and Content Syndication partners.
  • Marketo has as very short learning curve. You can be up and running in a matter of hours with email templates, landing pages and lead scoring.
  • We are effectively using Marketo to help our Sales Team process and nurture leads
  • We are also effectively using Marketo to help our Account Managers grow their share of wallet and prevent Churn.
  • We have some difficulty with reporting & analytics in Marketo, so we turn to SFDC for most of our reports.
  • The Marketo UI is a bit outdated, but I do know they are going to release a new one at the end of 2019, and we are looking forward to that!
  • The duplicate management issue between SFDC and Marketo can be a tough learning curve
Marketo was implemented at my company in Sept 2010, which was before I joined the team (I joined June 2011).

I know they evaluated Eloqua, but was not apart of the decision making team.

We are happy with our relationship with Marketo. We know there are other strong players in the space, but Marketo keeps impressing us with their new releases and seem to be in the "front of the pack" as far as technology. Additionally, it would be very painful/difficult to change internally. Our Sales & Account Managers are now comfortable and on board with Marketo and are adverse to change.

Evaluating Adobe Marketo Engage and Competitors

I was previously using Vertical Response, which at the time was a very simple email mass-blasting tool. We upgraded to Marketo for better integration with SFDC and visibility into our leads' actions.

Adobe Marketo Engage Training

  • Self-taught
I am not one who likes to take guided training, so being self-taught works best for me. It would truly depend on the individual and their preference.

Adobe Marketo Engage Support

The support team is pretty good, and is getting better every week. We were recently assigned a CSM which is a nice added bonus.

Additionally, everyone else that I have met at Marketo NOT on the support team (Marketing, Sales, Product) has been super helpful and available for questions.
