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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The elements of Campaigns allow you to automate a marketing activity from start to finish, not requiring human intervention in the process itself."
"Offers many great features and is intuitive."
"If you want to be able to communicate with your client using email, WhatsApp, and push notifications, know if the client opened the communication or not, and create and automate their journey, Marketing Cloud is very good."
"The user interface is easy to use, especially for my staff who use assistive technology."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution...I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the 'Accelerators', which are expert-taught subject matter webinars on items such as personalization of emails and SMS to contacts and prospects."
"It is easy to use."
"The Journey and CloudPages and automation are all great."
"The notification system for customer alerts, including the integration of various communication channels such as email, SMS, and mobile push, is excellent."
 

Cons

"I would like to see support for new social communication tools, and improvements to the web page monitoring capabilities."
"The solution can be difficult to set up for non-technical individuals."
"They can perhaps simplify the dashboards. In my opinion as an end-user, reports could also be simplified, but it also depends on how your company is set up. It depends on how the processes are set up within your company natively. It is linked to the way you do business. So, it varies."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud should be linked to an email ID, so the features after 15 days can update on the opportunity. You should not have to update them manually to the next step."
"The product could use a little bit of BI in the sense of rule-based building."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud is expensive. The email functionality should be more modern and user-friendly."
"In the SMS area, it is not up to the mark, compared to what has been developed for email."
"Technical support is good but could be faster, maybe more knowledgeable, and more customer friendly."
"The technicality of the solution can be streamlined."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Considering that we have many tools and components available in this one platform, the price of this product is low."
"My company pays to use this solution."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"The licensing cost for the solution is on a yearly basis."
"The price is expensive."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud is affordable, considering the significant improvements it brings to our campaign results."
"The solution's pricing is very high and should be more flexible for smaller companies."
"Salesforce has different versions of the solution and some are more suitable for smaller clients. However, Salesforce is expensive."
"It is a license per user."
