Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Eloqua

We use Oracle Eloqua across 2 departments - Marketing and Fundraising (our version of a Sales department). Our Marketing team uses it to deploy mass, branded emails to our subscriber base made up of supporters and donors. We use it to garner fundraisers and donors, ultimately raising money for our organization. Our Fundraising team uses it on an Account Based Level to bring in and nurture leads.
  • Dynamic content - makes it easy to target specific segments with different content
  • Reporting dashboards - makes it easy to quickly pull high-level stats on email campaigns
  • Campaign canvas setup - makes it easy to deploy campaigns across different countries quickly
  • Customer service is lacking
  • Reporting on email preference changes tied to an email address (i.e. not just global unsubscribes, but how many people actually unchecked an email preference off the back of a specific email)
  • Email subscription preference center is incredibly buggy, wonky to setup and create new email groups, etc...
It has allowed us some huge efficiency wins as we send emails to over 20+ countries and building/sending emails to that many countries/languages can get incredibly complex and time consuming. It's allowed us to build one intelligent email that sends different content to different people based on contact criteria, location, language, etc.
  • Allowed us to raise more money direct from email than ever before
Eloqua is much more advanced and easier to use.
Well-suited for big marketing teams trying to email their subscriber base (less than ~500k subscribers). Easy to build campaigns quickly, using HTML designed templates, and build complex segments.
Not well-suited for marketing teams trying to email their subscriber base above ~500k subscribers as their click-through tracking/data starts to go awry after emailing larger segment sizes.
