Overall Satisfaction with Marketo

I have been a Marketo user since 2012. The tool was brought by my previous employer and initially used to replace the ESP, however the tool provided much more than that. I have used the tool with the other organizations I worked in. The most significant impact is to align our sales organization with our marketing efforts. Marketo opens the conversation within the organization and standardizes the taxonomy used in the lead lifecycle. The common terminology improves not only the internal communication but also impacts the reporting and insights. Now you know where to put your marketing budget and how to support sales to increase your ROI.
  • Revenue Model: Aligning your lead lifecycle journey with your marketing efforts.
  • RTP (Real Time Personalization): Providing content and ads that align with your persona and their lifecycle stage.
  • Community: You need answers to your challenges, Marketo users and employees are there to help.
  • Revenue Explorer: The analytics capability can be improved. There are limitations around the power of the report.
  • Currency: Marketo does not support multiple currencies. For global organizations this is a challenge.
  • Product Launches
  • Upsell
  • Cross-Sell
  • Customer Service
  • Lead Management
  • Prospecting / New Business
We use Marketo at every stage of the customer journey.From the acquisition to advocacy. :)
We have looked into ExactTarget and Eloqua. Both solution currently lack the customer support and have functionality gaps. Eloqua does not provide ease of use to marketers.
Before you embark into marketing automation, you need to make sure you have the content to support.

Using Marketo

I do believe Marketo is really intuitive and easy to use. It provides the flexibility to push the boundaries while providing the guidelines and best practices thru their community.

Marketo Reliability

Marketo is having some performance issues. However their response rate to the issues and their support to resolve them are really great.
