Integration with CRM and third-party systems significantly boosts campaign management
The native integration could be improved, as Oracle Eloqua has decommissioned it. Manual uploads require changing the data priority order to top priority. Sometimes form capturing data fails, and campaign response issues occur. The pricing of Oracle Eloqua is quite high as it is an Oracle product. Compared to other marketing automation platforms such as Marketo, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, and Pardot, the price point is higher. The technical support is rated at eight because it can be difficult to get in touch with them after working hours. Support is only available during business hours, so if assistance is needed outside of the nine-to-five window, users must wait until the next day.

Co-branded content has reached partners faster and personalized campaigns have improved engagement
It's fairly easy to implement StructuredWeb within my existing marketing processes, probably a seven or eight on a scale of 1 to 10. Navigating through what they call the small journeys for setting up the marketing campaigns is more complicated; I'd rate that probably a five, as we're just starting some of that process now, and one of the reasons we haven't started until now is that it's quite complicated. The complexity in navigating the setup hasn't affected the speed of launching marketing campaigns significantly; there are some internal processes that contribute. The biggest issue that affected our speed of launching was the content upload process, where certain formats are easy for StructuredWeb to upload, while others take more time and are more manual. StructuredWeb is very focused on partner marketing and certainly competes as a best-of-breed solution. There are other platforms that have elements of what StructuredWeb offers, but from what I've seen, it's very high for a partner marketing-specific platform. The effectiveness of the personalized content delivery in enhancing partner engagement is a very strong component; however, the only criticism we've received from partners is that sometimes our rules about what can be edited on the content are too restrictive for them. They would appreciate seeing us exercise more flexibility and less control. But that's an internal policy issue, not a problem with StructuredWeb. Managing personalized content for different partners within StructuredWeb really comes down to partner size and resources. Larger partners typically use the platform to occasionally co-brand the content and then download it without extensive editing. In contrast, smaller partners, who may not have their own marketing platforms, engage in more extensive editing on the StructuredWeb platform and sometimes deploy from there and sometimes from their own platform. We haven't really utilized the AI assistant for creating and distributing marketing content yet. There are two AI models: one internal and one external, where we haven't launched the external one available to our partners via the platform. The internal one has been experimented with, but due to turnover in staff, those initially trained are no longer with us, so we feel we're back to square one. Additionally, the AI component is somewhat tedious due to our AI council regulations within Imnissa, which has restricted us from using all capabilities from StructuredWeb. I would rate StructuredWeb an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I find Oracle Eloqua to be a highly useful tool for clients and easy for developers, which I believe makes it one of the best options available for B2B marketing."
"The ease of maintenance is the most valuable feature."
"The solution's engine framework is quite simple, giving you the agility you need in the business."
"Eloqua is a fantastic tool for managing your communication strategy and your contact strategy."
"We needed a solution that could scale with our business - and it doesn't get better than Eloqua."
"It provides good support for really large databases."
"In Oracle Eloqua, the most valuable feature from the marketer's user experience perspective is the design editor, which is very feasible, allowing a marketer to design emails and landing pages in a very short amount of time through drag and drop of email components, making them ready to use instantly."
"The solution is stable."
"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."
"The most glaring benefit I've observed from using StructuredWeb for partner marketing is the ability to get out co-branded materials in a much faster fashion, which keeps our partners engaged."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution does not have a good database architecture."
"The solution could improve by having a more user-friendly interface."
"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."
