Overall Satisfaction with Marketo

We are using Marketo along with other marketing automation tools and trust me its the best amongst them all. We use it day in and day out and the functionalities it provides are just uncountable. It is been used in our Marketing department but trust me its amongst the biggest departments in the firm. We at Gartner are famous for our blogs, studies and researches and these reach out to people using these marketing automation tools only. It helps our organization to automate and measure marketing engagement, tasks and workflows. Target and create segments also reach out to people in their own zonal times (recipient timezone). Reporting and analytics are fantastical features it offers.
  • Reporting and Analytics. I'm literally a fan of the kind of report Marketo can do
  • Revenue Model Creation - Let's us flow chart our thinking and implement that tactical aspect in reality through automation
  • Smooth integrations with any API or Software you think of. Example - SFDC, Zapier, Calendly, LinkedIn is just awesome
  • Lead Generation - As smooth as Email Marketing is with Marketo maintaining the leads are utterly beautiful as well
  • Expense - I think the major drawback of Marketo is that it is an expensive software. Although its worth every penny
  • Not much to offer on the ROI front. This can be improved by Marketo
  • It is not a kickstart software, there is some training involved to get a stance of it. Not very intuitive
  • Cross-Sell
  • Lead Management
  • Prospecting / New Business
Our goal is pretty clear -
  1. Increase revenue
  2. Promote new products
  3. Derive Growth in the market
  4. Reduce complexity
  5. Send and manage database
  6. Increase ROI
  7. Grow the database
  8. Keep the users engaged with new product launch information
  9. Marketo is very flexible
  10. Solves day to day Email Marketing issues if any
  11. Great for technology people
Marketo is the most powerful amongst all the tools we have used by far. Landing pages and integrations are most compatible. It is flexible and very adaptable. Demand Generation and lead management is the best. Email Marketing is blissful with Marketo, and sales insights and reporting are great additions.
I would Recommend Marketo to every colleague of mine, because -

  • It is a very fast-growing software
  • A lot of recent releases have had new features which have solved a lot of previously existing issue with it and have made it stand out in MArketing Automation
  • Customization and personalization are fabulous
  • Complex yet easy to use
  • Easy to integrate
  • Great lead management
