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 data management is great; we like how it is organized, and I am able to view the tickets in a well-organized manner, which is quite useful."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is the seamless conversion of lead to opportunity, in relation to orders is good. That seamless connection is beneficial and simple."
"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."
"If someone wants to sell their product in a very good manner, they can use Salesforce Marketing Cloud."
"The Journey Builder and the Email Studio features are most valuable."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Marketing Cloud are the ease of use of the basic features."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a fantastic solution, but be aware of its technicalities when installation."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud's integrations are seamless since it is a native application. It helps us with B2B and B2C send-outs and can handle large columns."
"Sitecore Digital Marketing System is a standout tool because it offers cloud capabilities and numerous built-in features, including AI components."
"Sitecore Digital Marketing System offers very good customer support; it is a pricey solution, and they back it up with excellent service."
"The platform’s most valuable feature is the ability to create web pages with ease."
 

Cons

"An area of Salesforce Marketing Cloud that could be improved is the connectivity between Sales Cloud and Marketing Cloud platforms."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud should provide some debugging facilities for every user."
"I think it's not easy and it's expensive."
"We would like an improvement to the 'Einstein Engagement Frequency'; the optimal range of emails that our subscribers will engage with."
"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 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."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud could improve by having the ability to detect duplicate accounts."
"The pricing is a bit high."
"In a few scenarios, Sitecore DMS works slowly."
"Sitecore Digital Marketing System is a pricey solution with licensing costs, the details of which I am not familiar."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This is a low cost solution suited to larger organizations."
"Salesforce has different versions of the solution and some are more suitable for smaller clients. However, Salesforce is expensive."
"It's not cheap, which is why I recommend that you use Marketing Cloud to create automated journeys. If you plan to use Marketing Cloud just to send emails, use another tool."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"The solution's pricing is very high and should be more flexible for smaller companies."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud is affordable, considering the significant improvements it brings to our campaign results."
"This solution is priced in the medium to high price range."
"We have two types of licensing. We have a yearly license for end users and we have a concurrent login for selling."
