Overall Satisfaction with Salesforce Marketing Cloud

Marketing communications on multiple channels as well as creating journeys for funnels. The main use is email marketing but we are continuing to leverage the platform tools to create multi channel programs for our products and solutions. Marketing insights are gained via Einstein and the suite of AI capabilities on our contacts and our content.
  • Email marketing
  • Journey creation
  • Reporting
  • Data extension creation
  • Simplify audience building
  • Dynamic lists
  • Saves time
  • Saves money
  • Provides decent insight
Anything we try to do requires plug ins or additional subscriptions or third parties. It shouldn’t be so difficult.
Better planning and implementation of automated tactics within our marketing programs. Speed to market has increased.
Hubspot is more user friendly, more intuitive, and has functionality built in from the start that allows you to get things off the ground faster than SFMC. I use SFMC because that is the current platform at my employer.

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

Yes

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

No

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

No

Did implementation of Salesforce Marketing Cloud go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Salesforce Marketing Cloud again?

No

It’s not very user friendly and requires support from multiple teams to pull things together. Often coding and scripting are needed to do things one might assume is already built in or that the platform is capable of. Seems like there are many opportunities for growth or improvement in order to make this a ten.
