Overall Satisfaction with Oracle Eloqua

Our use of Eloqua is currently for email marketing support. We mostly do batch and blast 1 time use emails, but there are some trigger campaigns. We are looking to implement welcome and nurture campaigns by the end of the year.
  • Reporting
  • A/B testing
  • Flexibility to pull in outside data
  • Ease of Use
  • Better self help section. I don't like the search in Topliners and find faster to search Google, which typically directs me to what I need in Topliners.
In our current state, I don't have a good amount of experience personalizing at scale, but the potential is there. We have limited resources and have not been able to explore fully.
  • Increased the sophistication of the email marketing channel
  • Allowed for a more multi-channel marketing approach to reach advisors in numerous places (calls, social, web, email)
  • Due to limited resources, we are not able to utilize the tool to its fullest. The features are not at scale for a small team and viewed as too expensive.
Pardot does not have nearly the functionality of Eloqua. It's much more basic, but seems to pair well with Salesforce.
Adobe Campaign does not have a logical workflow in my opinion.
Marketo was very close to replacing Eloqua at the firm. The ease of use for a marketer is very attractive for a small team. The reason we did not follow through was due to a data integration.
Eloqua is very flexible and can easily meet almost any business need. For example, you can load third-party data into the CDO function from an event and run a specific series of activities based on business rules on the fly.
