- Responsys
Overall Satisfaction with Oracle CX Marketing (formerly Oracle Marketing Cloud)
Our Organization uses Oracle Responsys for Promotional & Non-Promotional Email & SMS campaigns. The platform is crucial in helping us drive revenue and streamline our operations. We create campaigns to push users to purchase our products online and in-store.
- Responsys integrates well with third party platforms including Google Analytics and others.
- The Reporting features within Oracle Responsys are sufficient for our business needs.
- The data model (table relationships) allow us to easily scale our program.
- Responsys could be improved upon with a more extensive summary after a connect job fails. Failure 'Reason codes' are often generic. More specifically, if the reason codes for a failed (profile list import) connect job could be identified per column. For ex: a common connect job failure happens when "over 20% of the data is in an incorrect field format." It would be helpful to know which 20% and/or which files/records are required to update.
- Inclusion of Skipped Addresses within the aggregate/Insight reporting. Currently, Skipped metric is only available within the live report setting.
- It would be nice to receive notifications for changes/additions to the #SoftBounce table
- Cheetah Digital Marketing Suite (formerly Experian)
I've used multiple platforms including Experian Cheetahmail (now Cheetah Digital), Strongmail, Silverpop, Exact Target and several entry level tools. I do prefer Responsys to the others for the reporting and ease of use in creating a scalable data schema. I also prefer the UX within the Responsys platform; offers a more linear approach in creating campaigns.
