Overall Satisfaction with Marketo

Marketo is being used by the marketing organization--two or three people on the marketing team (mainly in demand generation) use it almost every day to create emails. The marketing operations team 'owns' the Marketo platform but does not use it to build emails. Marketo allows us to send email communications to tens of thousands of people in our database.
  • Easy to create marketing automation programs
  • Can scale as the business grows
  • Integrates well with SalesForce
  • UI is not that nice, but it's getting better
  • The email editor isn't that easy to use
  • Marketo sometimes doesn't work well in some browsers (like Chrome)
  • Product Launches
  • Lead Management
  • Other
We are sending emails to our prospects and customers for new product launches, our nurture flows, marketing campaigns, and other announcements. We're trying to educate the audience on automation, specifically on the Tray Platform.
Marketo is much more powerful than Mailchimp. Marketo can be used for complex drop email campaigns, customizing and personalizing based on tokens, and much more. Mailchimp is easier to use but it's more for SMB users.
Marketo is best suited for large companies with tens of thousands of people in a database with emails being sent every day and where complex marketing automation is needed. For smaller companies, Marketo is probably too much.
