Overall Satisfaction with Marketo
We are using Marketo primarily for Marketing & Sales communications. Additionally, we are investigating the possibility of leveraging it for new hire on-boarding, ALL internal communications. This is helping close the gap of a uniform communication process by ensuring a consistent look, feel, and comm stream for the employees. Overall, it takes the entire organization to adopt the process in order for it to be effective.
- Email Configuration - The ability to edit the email in HTML, Pure Text, or even dive into the HTML Source Code is huge.
- Sales Insight - The ability for my Sales Teams to have information at their finger tips on who this person is, what they have done with us, and what they have viewed was a huge accelerator
- Nurturing - with the deployment of their "Engagement Engine", I had the ability to set someone in a nurturing path that was set to my rules. They would receive content in the order preferred and I could edit that list real time without a ton of configuration.
- Personalization - with the release of 'Real Time Personalization', the ability to customize and personalize everything is limitless. The only limit, as is with any good marketing program, is content.
- Landing Page editor - overall, the HTML Landing Page editor felt very lightweight, to where we actually had to deploy a 3rd party system for our landing pages outside of the registration pages.
- System Performance - though they are pouring copious amounts of time and energy in boosting the system's performance, depending on the time of day, it can still take quite a bit of time to generate reports.
- RCA Flexibility - their Revenue Analytics tool could use some more flexibility in order to adapt to true business models.
- Positive - ability to drill into specific opportunities to identify Marketing's interaction with the individual.
- Positive - MQLs coming from individuals that we normally wouldn't have tracked, thus faster lead conversion.
- Positive - the Engagement engine allows me to see where people are in the communication cycle and if I have run out of content
- Act-On,Eloqua
Act-On:
Marketo is a far superior product. At the time I was evaluating Act-On, their only integration from a webinar perspective was WebEx. Considering that GoToMeeting was our platform of choice was a big ding. Additionally, the way the communications were streamed and scoring was done did not fair well to Marketo & Eloqua
Eloqua:
I have used this platform at two different companies in my past. It is a good system, don't get me wrong, but Marketo is much much much easier to use. Easier to implement lead scoring, basically more intuitive all the way around.
