Overall Satisfaction with Marketo

We use Marketo across multiple departments at DaVita, across multiple audiences, internally and externally. Having it integrated with Salesforce is extremely convenient - a requirement if you have a CRM and marketing automation system at your business. It provides in-depth analytics about our digital communication across the business. I've been in multiple systems at multiple companies, and Marketo is one of the best out there.
  • Campaign design
  • Responsive design
  • Data management
  • User permissions
  • Mobile event app
  • API integration visibility from an admin level
  • Visibility to marketing metrics
  • Consolidation of marketing communications
  • Re-branding and standardization of brand appearance
  • Act-On, Oracle Marketing Cloud - Oracle Cross Channel Marketing to Businesses (Eloqua), Pardot and Silverpop Engage
Marketo is a leader when it comes to enterprise capability and overall usability. The power under the hood puts it way ahead of systems like Pardot and Act-On, and the user-friendly UI/UX puts it further than Eloqua. While all the platforms are similar, Marketo takes the cake for best all-around.
If you are an enterprise business, buy an enterprise solution. There are so many out there that can't hang with the leaders - and make sure your analysis is deep enough to discover the discount-quality products. If you're a small business, there are a lot of platforms that can help you out, but if you're planning on growing, migrating from system to system is a nightmare.
