Manage campaigns from start to finish, good integration, and a powerful email template builder
I would like to see support for new social communication tools, and improvements to the web page monitoring capabilities. Improvements can be made to the outbound chat campaigns so that we can include them in marketing campaigns. This would be a new element to use in case email is not good for the client. For example, there are university students who prefer to receive info via their phone, rather than in email. It is possible to do this, but I think it is something that can be improved because social communication networks yield a much better response than the "old" email campaigns.

Targeted email journeys have boosted campaign insight and now need better data access and support
I feel that Salesforce Marketing Cloud can be improved in how the data views are accessed; it would be better to have something more physical. With data extensions, you can view them directly, but for data views, it is very difficult as you can only send it out or load it into data extensions. Improvements can also be made in the connections to different external tools such as Azure or AWS. Customer support can be improved in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, as sometimes it is not clear what the issue is or how to approach solving it, and it also takes time to resolve issues.

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Cons

"I would like to see support for new social communication tools, and improvements to the web page monitoring capabilities."
"In the SMS area, it is not up to the mark, compared to what has been developed for email."
"The majority of my clients are happy, but when it comes to the CDP of Salesforce, the client gets confused. They have no clue that Salesforce has a CDP platform too. If my clients want to go ahead with the same vendor, Salesforce, they get confused about the different marketing suites which are available. There is no clear marketing done for the suites available for the clients, this is where the client is facing the real challenges."
"There is a lot of room for improvement in Salesforce Marketing Cloud's dashboards and the visualization of information in each journey."
"The customization of Salesforce, a generic CRM software, has room for improvement."
"The quality of support for this solution has been decreasing over time and the support team are sometimes more focused on closing tickets that resolving issues. Often the support team is not well trained or aware of the new features or products released by Salesforce."
"Managing large volumes of data takes too long."
"An additional feature needed for the next release of Marketing Cloud would be better capacity for personalization."
"The cost is always a concern for anyone using a SaaS product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Considering that we have many tools and components available in this one platform, the price of this product is low."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a highly expensive solution, it needs to be less expensive. We are on an annual license to use the solution."
"It's not cheap, which is why I recommend that you use Marketing Cloud to create automated journeys. If you plan to use Marketing Cloud just to send emails, use another tool."
"This is a low cost solution suited to larger organizations."
"Salesforce is an expensive solution."
"Its licensing is on an annual basis. Customers are okay with its licensing cost, and they don't find it expensive."
"It's normal pricing."
"On a scale where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive, I rate the solution an eight out of ten."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
