Anika Gaur - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective lead management and useability with room for reporting improvements
Customer support could be more helpful. The reporting could be better, with more engaging reports and the ability to collaborate more objects, like opportunities. Incorporating AI features similar to tools like HubSpot and Salesforce account engagement would be beneficial. Additionally, Marketo should work on automating tools and updating the product since it looks similar to how it did five years ago.
Joan Morales - PeerSpot reviewer
Improved our TCO and also helped us to provide a better experience for our partners because now everything is in the same tool
The best features in the solution include the ease of use and flexibility of the tool, and its ability to accommodate different kinds of features and needs that we always come across and need to solve for. The ability to provide content and deliver content to an international audience of channel partners is significant for us. Being able to cater to international users globally is one of the great uses of the tool. StructuredWeb can implement AI capabilities within the tool, which we have deployed, is really quite unique and very helpful. Additionally, the ability to translate content to any language with AI translation integrated as part of the tool allows one partner to access a piece of content and translate it to any language for their own use. My impression of the solution's focus on partner marketing is that it has improved our marketing efforts. We have been able to replace existing tools that we had with multiple tools. Consolidating everything in one single tool—StructuredWeb—has allowed us to save costs through the process and solve for lower management costs from our perspective. It has improved our TCO and also helped us to provide a better experience for our partners because now everything is in the same tool instead of managing two different tools that do not talk to each other easily, improving the experience for partners.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One feature I like is the user interface. Compared to other tools I've used, it's much more friendly and easy to navigate. Additionally, it offers a wide range of features, which makes tasks like segmenting data much simpler."
"The most valuable features of Marketo are its ease of use and flexibility."
"One of the most important things about Marketo is its focus on GDPR compliance. It helps you follow GDPR and CAN-SPAM rules. For example, with Marketo, I won't accidentally target audiences without their consent. Firstly, the Marketo Insights system will highlight new customer segments that I should engage with."
"I like that the solution is flexible."
"We are scoring based on behavior without pressure, and it keeps producing excellent results."
"The smart campaign looks quite interesting and useful."
"The most valuable features are the Marketo emails, both sending and tracking."
"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 best part is that they have these Assistant AI and Edit AI capabilities that truly allow our partners to take our demand gen campaigns and essentially utilize our back-end data to build out accurate claims around our technologies."
"Consolidating everything in one single tool—StructuredWeb—has allowed us to save costs through the process and solve for lower management costs from our perspective, and also helped us to provide a better experience for our partners because now everything is in the same tool instead of managing two different tools that do not talk to each other easily, improving the experience for partners."
 

Cons

"Based on my clients ' comments, there is room for improvement in Marketo. For instance, Oracle's Eloqua had much larger databases than Marketo a few years ago, handling millions of records. Marketo has been catching up but doesn't hold the most extensive possible databases. This is less of an issue for B2B, but for B2C customers, who have millions of records, It also lacks features of HubSpot, which should be incorporated. Marketo could benefit from supporting more extensive databases and incorporating some of HubSpot's features. HubSpot is cheaper, and while Marketo is not the most expensive, it's not the least. They would be a better competitor to HubSpot if their pricing were lower. These products are typically priced per user per month."
"Its APIs need to be more flexible because there are some things that are not available in the API."
"Adobe, the parent company, needs to improve on getting more information published to allow users to educate themselves on how to use the solution."
"One limitation is the user limit. For bigger organizations with large audience sizes exceeding, let's say, 500k, the solution may not be as efficient as larger enterprise platforms like Salesforce or Oracle Eloqua. However, Marketo is one of the best platforms for mid-scale and small-scale organisations."
"Marketo's reporting and dashboarding features could be better. Compared to other tools, the visualization options with charts and graphs seem somewhat limited."
"Revenue management, attribution, and ABM can all be improved."
"There is a bit of room for improvement in the level-one support team. It relies too much on documentation."
"Some modern Marketo features could be improved."
"If anything, it would be the pricing. I get nervous about how many partners will use the service, as it is based on a schedule."
"Areas that may have room for improvement include continuing to evolve as AI continues to evolve; the capabilities and the use cases of how AI can be used for partners are areas they are developing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Marketo's pricing depends on the number of contacts and the level of features you need. Compared to other platforms like Oracle Eloqua and Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Marketo is generally more affordable. Like other platforms, it offers different packages based on your needs."
"Marketo is too expensive for a small-sized company but more affordable for a larger-sized company."
"The licensing cost usually depends on the users."
"I'm not sure about the cost because I don't get into this aspect. Clients normally take care of that. I only know that it is costly, and I don't think there are any additional costs to the licensing."
"The pricing is not cheap, but it's not that expensive either."
"The solution is expensive compared to others."
"The fee for Marketo includes the number of users and the database size. If we ask for a unique feature, it will cost extra."
"The initial pricing was excellent, but the pricing for renewals is not as good."
