Overall Satisfaction

  • Pardot allows us to very easily automate our marketing activities and segment our email database. We can execute very segmented email campaigns faster than ever before.
  • Pardot offers several integrations to other common marketing programs such as Eventbrite (events), Wistia (video hosting), and Netsuite (CRM). This allows us to use Pardot as our all-in-one marketing program, database, and reporting tool.
  • Pardot does an excellent job of listening to what its users want. They are constantly added new functionality.
  • There needs to be more added functionality for the lower product lines. Some essential features are missing from lower lines, but included in higher packages such as custom reporting and custom roles.
  • With Pardot being purchased by Salesforce.com we are very worried about the future of Pardot's integration/relationship with Netsuite.
  • Increased efficiency for marketing campaigns.
  • Faster execution of very niche marketing campaigns through segmentation.
  • Increase in leads through automated drip marketing campaigns.
We have our entire email marketing process set-up and scaled within Pardot. It would be very time consuming to change all of this.
Aside from the high cost of this solution, it does almost everything we need to execute our online marketing. Just make sure to have a good plan for implementation and attend training sessions early in your process.
