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.

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."
"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."
"I think the product's best feature is its analytics, as that's where customers derive value. The second thing is its ease of implementation."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to get quotes out in a timely manner."
"In Salesforce Marketing Cloud, the ability to send emails effectively is very valuable."
"We have found the solution to be scalable."
"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 most valuable features of Salesforce are the automation and the ability to create dashboards which provide a wider picture of what is going on."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud provides an edge for my organization by tracking the budget, how it is spent, where we stand, and how many cold calls or nurtured calls have been converted into sales."
 

Cons

"I would like to see support for new social communication tools, and improvements to the web page monitoring capabilities."
"They could improve the product's data integration functionality for larger companies."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud could improve by having more graphical options because a lot of tables are now only numbers and percentages and data. I prefer graphs, lines, and pie charts. I know there are ways to receive this from Salesforce Marketing Cloud. It doesn't play a huge role in my daily work to invest the time to figure it out. I feel that it would be time wasted. They could make the graphical options easier to find and use in the future."
"I found that the tool is more complex than expected. It requires a deeper understanding to utilize its capabilities thoroughly."
"I've noticed on one-to-one leads, the customer objection option is not available."
"The data extension tools are not very user-friendly."
"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."
"In terms of marketing, I don't think Salesforce invests the same level of intensity in promoting Marketing Cloud...Pricing is a concern and needs improvement, as some customers find the product a bit too expensive."
"Marketing Cloud's forecasting could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Considering that we have many tools and components available in this one platform, the price of this product is low."
"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
"This solution is priced in the medium to high price range."
"It is a license per user."
"We have two types of licensing. We have a yearly license for end users and we have a concurrent login for selling."
"The price is expensive."
"It's normal pricing."
"This is a low cost solution suited to larger organizations."
"The solution's pricing is very high and should be more flexible for smaller companies."
