Overall Satisfaction with Pardot
Pardot is predominately used by our marketing and communications team. However, all departments leverage the usefulness of the product. It assists us in reaching our various audiences and segmenting communications to them. It also helps us see and understand what our audiences are doing to engage with us online. Pardot is a great marketing and communications tool.
- Automation. Pardot has great automation functionalities for emails and other communications to our network. ex: list building features
- Wealth of functionality and features. ex: engagement scoring
- User friendly. It's not very hard to catch on and there are lots of resources to leverage.
- Salesforce connection! This is probably #1 because SF is our CRM and it integrates seamlessly.
- Pricey. I work for a nonprofit so it was a big decision to go with Pardot but it is one of the best in its class.
- You must have the capacity/time/resources to actually use the functionalities and features. Otherwise, it could be a waste of money.
- Engagement formula has allowed us to see to what extent our audience is engaging with us. What are they doing, how often are they doing it, etc. This helps us paint a picture of our network.
- The segmentation for emailing has been very helpful for our organization. This allows for more targeted email campaigns to certain groups we know would be interested/benefited rather than loosing folks due to emails that they maybe don't care about (or we've sent too many!)
- The connection to Salesforce really is a game changer. Now our CRM database and our marketing tool are connected for seamlessly integration.
