Overall Satisfaction with Pardot

Bepress uses a Pardot integration with Salesforce CRM to manage email campaigns and measure impact. With marketing campaigns spanning dozens of market segments, and with the task of managing each falling on one coordinator, it's essential to have software that tracks the efficacy of messages to specific segments. It's just not possible for the human memory alone to do this, but with Pardot we could track opens and links within specific campaigns, allowing us to hone our message to specific audiences based on past results.
  • Market segmentation.
  • Impact analysis.
  • UI can be somewhat complex.
  • Requires careful attention to naming syntax when creating new campaigns etc.
  • Increased engagement with email campaigns.
  • Tailored insights and leads generated for sales team.
I wasn't involved in the selection or buying process, so I can't really speak to the reasons we selected Pardot over other tools, although I know there was an evaluation process and that Pardot was selected in part due to availability of impact analytics.
Any business entity using Salesforce to manage email campaigns to more than a half dozen market segments would benefit from Pardot, assuming there is buy-in from stakeholders to implement insights derived from impact analysis. We were able to attenuate our subject lines, hyperlinks, message text, and so forth based on numbers from previous messages and saw improvement across the board by acting on these insights!
