Overall Satisfaction with Pardot

Our organization uses Pardot (now Marketing Cloud Account Engagement) to communicate with our sales contacts. We do this by identifying contacts that are ready to receive messaging, creating emails, and then scheduling campaigns that will send emails to those contacts. We use marketing automations Pardot provides to make these campaigns dynamic, sending different messaging at different times based on how customers react to the campaign.
  • Marketing Automation
  • Dynamic Customer Journey Campaigns
  • Easy to Use
  • Email Builder
  • Email testing
  • Adding more depth and conditions to completion actions
  • Pardot has given Sales actionable tasks based on user clicks on emails
  • Created many nurture campaigns that would have taken 10x the work without automation
  • Allowed us to create many more customer touchpoints with Sales, resulting in increased revenue

Do you think Salesforce Marketing Cloud delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with Salesforce Marketing Cloud's feature set?

Yes

Did Salesforce Marketing Cloud live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Salesforce Marketing Cloud go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Salesforce Marketing Cloud again?

Yes

Pardot is well-suited for an organization that is looking to maximize the output of its Sales team. The software is easy to use, but I would say that it takes time in order to figure out how best to use it for your organization's goals and your own reporting needs. It's easy enough for any marketer to pick up but it does take time to master.
