Overall Satisfaction with Marketo

Marketo helps our organization track and manage leads, set automated nurture streams in place and send content, facilitate downloads of content and foster engagement across our funnel.
  • Marketo has a strong analytic engine behind it and can track against all the metrics important to our CFO.
  • Marketo spans the marketing channels where we're promoting - email, website, social, advertising, etc.
  • We were able to put a sophisticated lead scoring system in place based on demos and behaviors.
  • Unless you invest substantial time in the training available (and their training resources are robust) it's not intuitive to use Marketo.
  • The smart list system was not intuitive and caused roadblocks for our operations team.
  • Customer service was a bit slow.
  • Product Launches
  • Upsell
  • Lead Management
  • Prospecting / New Business
I find it particularly useful in upsell scenarios because of the seamless integration with Salesforce.
I have used HubSpot and Marketo in my career. In my experience, HubSpot is easier to use and does a great job integrating content into your website and content promotion. Marketo can be frustrating to use but has a stronger analytic/tracking/reporting engine.
This is the right product if your marketing organization wants to take a sophisticated approach to running content marketing programs and tracking their effectiveness.
