Overall Satisfaction with Marketo
We use Marketo for a variety of things. First, we use it for all of our email campaigns. Second, we have Marketo intergrated with Salesforce (SFDC) so that we can send over Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs) to our sales team. Third, we use it to automate many of our lead generation, demand generation and web form responses. Finally, we use it for analytics to report on our campaigns as well as revenue created from our activities. Marketo is being used by the following departments: Marketing, Sales (with the Sales Insights within SFDC), Marketing Development Reps (telemarketing team) and Customer Support. Marketo addresses the biggest business challenge of being able to report on the activities that marketing does, what it does create is sales pipeline.
- Automation through their "Streams" functionality.
- Integrations into many other services (Launchpoint).
- Their community of users.
- Revenue Cycle Explorer.
- Sales Insights plugin with Salesforce.
- Their email editor is not super user friendly.
- Native reporting with analytics isn't very strong. Really need to get the Revenue Cycle Explorer add on for full reporting capabilities.
- It's very expensive. If you are going going to use as your email engine you are going to waste a lot of money.
- Increased employee efficiency across many departments.
- Better reporting visibility into marketing's effectiveness or lack there of.
- More timely communication with customers based on their behavior.
- Oracle Marketing Cloud - Oracle Cross Channel Marketing to Businesses (Eloqua) and Pardot
Marketo's features are very robust and for the most part user friendly. We didn't think Eloqua would allow us to get started right away due to its complexity, but it is very powerful as well. Marketo does a nice job of allowing you to ease into the platform and then expand it when you are ready to do more things.
