Overall Satisfaction with Marketo

Marketo was the platform that when in place when I arrived at the organization. I have extensive experience with the SFDC suite of tools, particularly Pardot, I find that some of the functionality of Marketo to not be as intuitive to use as Pardot. They have been slow to adopt their new interface and the lack of a complete solution built on a consistent interface is troubling. I will have to comment that since Marketo was acquired by Adobe, their lack of customer service astounds me. There has been a night and day difference in the level of support we used to get directly from Marketo, versus our present level which is very lackluster at best.

The lack of quality and consistent customer service will be a significant part of our review process at contract renewal time.
Marketo has worked well for us to manage our trigger campaigns. By having an MA expert on staff we have been successful coordinating several campaigns all at once while allowing email action trigger additional campaigns
