Overall Satisfaction with Oracle CX Marketing (formerly Oracle Marketing Cloud)

Oracle CX Marketing is used as the primary marketing engine at the company - to drive all marketing campaigns and programs. It was used for lead scoring and orchestration, list segmentation, customer journey mapping - and connected to Salesforce to provide end-to-end visibility into the customer journey. We also used it for content creation, publication, and insights from our web properties.
  • Campaign management is very easy and intuitive to send out email campaigns and build workflows.
  • Support for multi-channel campaigns not limited to emails - works well as a CDP that provides a 360 view of a prospect/customer.
  • Good integration with CRM (Salesforce).
  • Implementation and roll-out wasn't very easy and had some hiccups
  • Lead scoring is not as intuitive as other similar programs
  • Onboarding and training lacked resources
Eloqua is definitely good for larger companies that have 100,000+ contacts and complex marketing workflows and data. Personalization is fairly robust with Eloqua for larger campaigns with smart content and features. Scaling across channels is also seamless - as the platform has great options for non-email channels like SMS, Direct Mail, Chat, etc.

Oracle CX Marketing is strong within the Oracle ecosystem. The company used Eloqua as it had a strong product roadmap in terms of features for the marketing team to leverage day-to-day. The CDP platform that is offered by Eloqua sets it apart from the competition as it really gives a full view of the prospect and lead.
Some scenarios where Oracle CX Marketing is good at:
1) Providing a 360 view of the customer/prospect
2) Accepts 1st and 3rd party data to build prospect profiles
3) Easily integrates with most major SaaS MarTech products

Some scenarios where less so are:
1) Automating Ad Campaigns wasn't very easy to manage.
2) ABM campaigns faced challenges due to how the interface is set up.
