Overall Satisfaction with Marketo

I contract out to B2B software and market research companies who use Marketo for their email marketing needs.
  • Ability to segment content is very easy.
  • The new 2.0 editor for email is very user-friendly.
  • Customer support and documents are very clear and helpful.
  • In the past, templates didn't have the ability to be responsive, but Marketo has finally changed that. I wish there was more freedom with responsive implementation, but it makes sense it would be a bit restrictive due to the form functionality and other functionality within landing pages.
  • Engage and grow customers over time
I am more on the back end of things and don't study any metrics. I do know from Marketo's robust ability to easily cater to a specific audience without the need of really complicated back end code or rules, my clients have seen good results.
Marketo is the queen of segmentation. It is less suited for emails that require the same baseline templates, but different content. The templates are made to suit the same sort of content over and over. However, with 2.0, there seems to be a lot more flexibility as drag and drop features are added and the ability to easily duplicate content was implemented. Now the email templates are much less restrictive. Landing pages are much less restrictive too.
