Q&A Highlights
Question: Do you know if Marketo or Eloqua support mobile devices? Thank you.
Answer: My experience is limited to Eloqua so I can only comment about that platform. Eloqua has a number of different modules that work great on standard applications but currently these modules are either not optimized for or supported by mobile OS's and browsers. You can see a list of certified and supported browsers on Eloqua Topliners community pages. This does not mean these modules don't function on mobile browsers but the rendering may suffer a bit due to lack of compatibility.

Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The smart campaign looks quite interesting and useful.""I like that the solution is flexible.""The most valuable features are the Marketo emails, both sending and tracking.""The main feature of Marketo is sending out emails, so that would be the most valuable feature.""It is a very user-friendly solution. I'm mainly working on Design Studio, which is useful for companies in tracking repeat users. The progressive proofing is also useful. It is not available in other solutions.""The most valuable feature is the scoring.""The product has been stable.""The most valuable feature of this solution is Smart Campaigns."

Cons
"Marketo should give more power to the users for data manipulation.""For the moment, we migrated some of our processes to Marketo and implemented them there. We had some difficulties related to this.""I had an issue while integrating JavaScript with forms. When you embed JavaScript, you can either embed it in a landing page or some other self-contained management system like WordPress. Currently, it provides you access to CSS, where you can customize your form design, but there is no option for JavaScript modification for a particular form. This area needs to be improved where you can integrate JavaScript, and it has the JavaScript functions for that particular form. There are a lot of other areas of improvement. In the design area, they can give us more testing options instead of relying on email testing alone. It would be great if they can provide responsive testing where email clients can be tested within Marketo. It would be also helpful if they can implement some in-built options for users or forms for blocking a generic email ID such as Yahoo or Gmail. Similarly, it would be helpful to have JavaScript features and forms as well as the option to add Google analytics and a header and footer for the landing pages.""The user experience needs improvement, particularly in terms of ease of use and navigation between projects.""Adobe, the parent company, needs to improve on getting more information published to allow users to educate themselves on how to use the solution.""Its APIs need to be more flexible because there are some things that are not available in the API.""It could be more scalable.""Revenue management, attribution, and ABM can all be improved."

More Marketo Cons →

"​Reporting is very clunky and not user friendly.​""The solution could improve by having a more user-friendly interface.""This product hasn't kept up to date on features.""The solution does not have a good database architecture.""The product's initial setup process could be better.""The solution should consider adding functionality related to event listening, such as webhooks.""The cost of the solution has room for improvement.""The reporting features should be improved."
