In general, using Marketo to communicate with customers, prospects, and partners. Also used for inbound marketing to capture new lead information. Primary way to bring in new information about people through corporate website. Looking for sales outcomes that generate new marketing qualified leads which lead to opportunities and ultimately closed won deals.
Marketo better for enterprise applications due to robustness of solution. Other systems better suited for small to medium businesses. Easier user interface and most commonly used platform with twenty percent market share. Has largest global network of users and community. Supported by large company (Adobe) with resources for additional product development.
Well suited for enterprise business to business marketing scenarios. Good for large scale promotional email marketing. Good for ease of use for users new to content management systems.

Not well suited for custom ecommerce applications. Not good for substituting as a platform for other dedicated software such as enterprise event management platforms or scheduling platforms.
