Overall Satisfaction with Marketo

Marketo is used by the corporate marketing department to acquire and nurture leads for both our B2B and B2C business units. Marketo allows us to deploy millions of emails a months to our current customers and potential customers. We also use it for B2B landing pages on our website and along with our email campaigns.
  • Email deployment
  • Email reporting
  • Email A/B testing
  • Needs heat maps for email
  • Needs to be a bit more intuitive
  • Engage and grow customers over time
  • Measure marketing investment
We have achieved the ability to engage and grow customers. Marketo is great for this. We are also able to plan and coordinate marketing across our team. Because we have an in-house CRM that we cannot integrate with Marketo, we have not been able to measure our marketing investment as completely as we would like. Right now, we are guessing quite a bit.
HubSpot is super easy to use compared to Marketo. It's intuitive and one can sit down in front of it and figure it out. Not Marketo. It requires up front training.
I like Marketo, but it does require some training to utilize fully. It has taken us about a year to get comfortable with it and use most of the many features. I learn something new every day with Marketo. Sometimes this is a good thing. Sometimes it isn't.

Marketo Support

In general, Marketo support is one of the best that I have encountered. Occasionally I get someone who doesn't have the answer I am looking for, but they are usually willing to keep looking at my request.
