Oracle Eloqua Reviews

flexibility user friendly great reporting module tons of features app add-ons allow you to increase your programs and integrate with other programs easy set-up

There are usually bugs after updates but you know they are coming and they are very responsive to quickly fixing any issues

Eloqua is a fantastic tool for managing your communication strategy and your contact strategy. It allows you to easily measure the outcome of your programs and adds validity to your marketing programs by showing the direct ROI of campaigns.

Drag-and-drop interface based on HTML5. Easiest WYSIWYG editor for creating landing pages and HTML emails that I've ever seen. Great marketing automation platform for sending a series of emails based a prospects interests and interactions with your company in order to deliver super relevant information to their buying stage. Eloqua has great product support and training.

Eloqua has great integration with Salesforce.com, but I'd love to see a little more of that rolled into a more intuitive UI.

Eloqua gets modern marketing, plain and simple. The technology component of your marketing mix is essential to scaling your business. You can make a dramatic difference out-of-the-box, or can morph it to fit your business's specific success metrics.

To get the most out of your investment you'll want to have a dedicated admin or team if you are able. This will allow users to take advantage of the great education programs Eloqua offers and dive into some of the powerful features below the surface.

Eloqua is the engine of our marketing operations. It integrates with our CRM platform and allows us to close the loop between sales and marketing for all of our enterprise demand generation initiatives.

Ease of use for all users (marketing and sales), the Eloqua online community makes it so easy to connect with other users, ability to automate our event processes, and it's FULL integration with Salesforce.com (our sales organization loves the behavior based information they have visibility to)

Pricing - if you can swing it, Eloqua is worth it!;

Eloqua has always adapted to the needs of their customers which is visible on the new Eloqua 10 platform. We are in the process of switching to E10 and couldn't be more excited. Prior to Eloqua our processes were cumbersome and clunky. This tool made our marketers feel the power behind our campaigns and gave them the tools and confidence to execute campaigns themselves.

E10 is a slick easy to use tool that is also robust for those automation experts. Our event manager is up almost up to speed enough to run full campaigns in only a few weeks. For the power user it has excellent SFDC digital behavior tools where sales people can monitor every move their prospects make and get notified about it. Automated nurture streams, campaign management, open API's to most major vendors with cloud connectors that drop right into their "Campaign Canvas," and much much more make this the tool to have. I worked with Aprimo for 4 years and this is far above and beyond.

Some times new features get rolled out too soon, but the good thing is they constantly adapt to the demands of their customers.

Eloqua is not just marketing automation, it is a powerful marketing network. Their community is so active with so many experts, being just a part of that is worth the money. I have become a better marketer because of the network Eloqua has provided for me.

E9 user interface is good , E10 is even better! Program Management (you can write specific scenarios, "if this then that" concept) Fully integrated, email template, contact group, hypersyite support, distribution list management, video hosting...

email WYSWIG editor is far from behing the best i've seen, i recommend to work with frontpage or dreamweaver before and copy htlm code.Saas Plateform which is great but when you travel a lot, i'd like to get an access to itEloqua is a very good platform, probably the best for it's suppose to do today.

It requires a bit of knwoledge before you start on it but once it's done it's so powerful stuff

Eloqua is very powerful and very customizable. It goes beyond the traditional categories of email marketing, lead scoring, &etc into true marketing automation (Eloqua likes to say Revenue Performance Management, which I'm not sure we're entirely at, but the promise is really there). The out of the box reporting is great, and integration with Salesforce.com in particular is solid. The solution is also extensible, and has a lot of "Cloud Connectors" which allow you to integrate external services without writing any code. Eloqua also has EXCELLENT customer support, whether that's through their training programs, their Customer Success department (shoutout to Adrian Chang, who is really great), or frontline support.

The UI of the reporting tool (Insight) is a bit dated. The out-of-the-box reporting supports only one top-level funnel, so it's great for reporting to the CMO, but less so when you have eCommerce, Channel, and Direct all with different funnels, for example - this requires custom reporting.

Broadly, there are many services which provide simple email marketing. Go with Eloqua when you want to move beyond that simple paradigm to true marketing automation.
