Salesforce Marketing Cloud Reviews

We use Salesforce to manage our customers' data, to make sales campaigns, and to provide customer care.

The most valuable part of the solution are the selling features. 

I want to improve the cost because the larger you get, sometimes the price rises in a way that I don't like. It's a very good solution, but the way the prices are structured is not always good, and I feel like that is a problem.

I have used this solution for two years. 

The scalability of the solution is perfect. There are 300 direct users in our organization. We have five IT people who handle administration and connect with the integrator if there is an issue, and that is more than enough for us.

I would give Salesforce support a four out of five because it is very, very good in terms of documentation. However, if you have a serious defect that is harder to solve, it can take some time to get a response.

Positive

The setup is quite straightforward. The process is standard and very easy to understand. 

We hired an integrator, and we implemented the solution in phases. It took nine months to a year for everything. First, we deployed customer care, then the 360 view of our customers, and then the selling part.

We have two types of licensing. We have a yearly license for end users and we have a concurrent login for selling. 

I would definitely recommend this product. I would rate it as an eight out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for customer ticket management and for services.

The data management is great. We like how it is organized. I'm able to view the tickets in a well-organized manner. That is quite useful. 

The notifications as well are good.

It is straightforward to set up.

It is a scalable product.

User management could be better.

I've been using the solution for four months or so now. 

It's too early to say if it is properly stable. I've been using it for just four months, and I've just been onboarded for two months. That said, I have had no issues.

The solution can scale well. 

We have 12 people using the solution on my project. I'm not sure if other people or other teams are also using it. I'm not sure if marketing plans to increase usage at this time. 

I've never used technical support.

We previously used Jira and migrated to Salesforce. 

The solution is very straightforward and simple to implement. It's not complex at all. 

That said, I have not deployed it myself. It was another team who handled it. I don't know about the details. I also do not have details in regards to maintaining it and if we have any team members dedicated to that task. 

I'm not sure of the exact costs. That's handled at an organizational level.

We're using the latest version on the cloud.

I'd advise potential users to try before they buy so that can see it in action and decide if they like it. Pricing should be looked into too. If it's small-scale, it's okay. I'm not sure about large-scale costs. 

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

For me, the primary use case of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is for sales marketing. We have over 1,000 users of the solution in our organization.

The most valuable features of Salesforce are the automation and the ability to create dashboards that provide a wider picture of what is going on.

Salesforce could benefit by implementing further integration with more platforms.

I have been using Salesforce for 2 years.

Prior to Salesforce, there was no other CRM tool. We were using Excel.

The initial setup of this solution is straightforward.

I would recommend other companies should use this solution.

Salesforce is an 8 out of 10 overall.

I'm part of the data analytics team in a major Brazilian telecom company and work on the implementation side. Salesforce Marketing Cloud is our main platform to connect with our customers. We are a telecom company that sells fiber and FTTH in the Brazilian market. We use the Salesforce Marketing Cloud platform to send emails, WhatsApp messages, or push notifications to welcome our new customers. We also use the platform to remind customers to pay their bills.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud helps us have all the communication and logs we communicate with our customers in one place. This helps us work on our data to understand our customers better.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud's journey builder is very easy to handle and quickly sets up a journey for clients who use a lot of communication. Salesforce Marketing Cloud helps us communicate ad hoc when we need to communicate quickly with our customers. We also use the CDP.

There is a lot of room for improvement in Salesforce Marketing Cloud's dashboards and the visualization of information in each journey.

I have been using Salesforce Marketing Cloud for around seven to eight months.

I rate Salesforce Marketing Cloud a nine out of ten for stability.

I rate Salesforce Marketing Cloud a nine out of ten for scalability. We have plans to increase the usage of Salesforce Marketing Cloud in the future.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud's initial setup was quick. However, it is complex to use the platform with CDP.

My advice for someone planning to use Salesforce Marketing Cloud would be to learn a little about the product before implementation and plan your implementation well.

Overall, I rate Salesforce Marketing Cloud a nine out of ten.

We use the solution as our organization's CRM.

Previously, demand was fragmented and varied depending on the line of business, such as plate mail, pipe mail, and calls. This made it difficult to track metrics, such as the order book, conversion from leads to opportunities, etc. However, since Salesforce was implemented, the tracking has improved significantly, as all leads, opportunities, and conversions are captured. This has improved visibility for both end users and salespeople, as well as higher-ups.

The solution has improved the efficiency of our entire organization.

The solution is user-friendly.

The customization of Salesforce, a generic CRM software, has room for improvement. It is not very customizable, which is often required for a particular industry, and building those customizations can take a lot of time. For example, in the steel industry, there are thousands of SKUs that need to be configured depending on the mill parameters. Salesforce does not do this out of the box, so we must consider these factors and configure it on the due date and time.

I have been using the solution for over one year.

I give the stability a nine out of ten.

I give the scalability a ten out of ten. We have around 50 people using the solution currently in our organization.

We previously used custom developer software in-house before switching to Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

I give the initial setup an eight out of ten. Our deployment took one year. We created a dedicated team consisting of the digitalization team, sales team, and top management to monitor the overall progress. We then onboarded an implementation partner to accompany us on the journey from start to finish. The deployment was originally planned to be completed in nine to ten months, but it took more than twelve months.

The implementation was completed in-house with the help of an implementation partner.

The solution is a bit expensive. I give the cost of the solution a six out of ten.

We need to invest a lot of money upfront for implementation, and there are certain modules, such as Einstein Analytics, which are sold by Salesforce and require extra payment. I am not familiar with all the components of Salesforce, but there is an optional component that requires additional investment.

I give the solution an eight out of ten. Salesforce is reliable and once configured, it can capture as much customer information as desired. The solution is also highly scalable, allowing many users to be added without issue. The only downside is the cost, which has a recurring expenditure component that can add up over time. Additionally, once everyone is trained in a particular software, it can be difficult to switch, making it difficult to break away from the software. Salesforce is a great tool, but it can be addictive and can lead to a feeling of being locked in.

Depending on our ability to develop in-house CRM software, I would advise staying in-house. If we opt for Salesforce, we will likely be tied to it for five to ten years, depending on the size and complexity of our organization. For larger and more complex organizations, Salesforce may be the best solution; however, if the organization is of medium size, they should consider developing custom software in-house, which would be more cost-effective.

I use Salesforce Marketing Cloud to track the opportunity list of new businesses.

It is easy to use.

It should contain artificial intelligence, in my opinion.

In the last 15 years, I have been using Salesforce Marketing Cloud for four years.

I am not using it at the moment, but I have worked with it in the last 12 months.

I would like to see a team-building feature added.

I have been using Salesforce Marketing Cloud for three years now.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is scalable and we now have thousands of users.

Technical support is good but could be faster, maybe more knowledgeable, and more customer friendly.

Positive

The initial set-up is straightforward.

We deploy in-house for our installation needs and a vendor team is not required.

If someone wants to sell their product in a very good manner, they can use Salesforce Marketing Cloud. I would rate Salesforce Marketing Cloud an eight out of ten.

With this solution, you can build up an opportunity, track it, look at missed opportunities, and output data to work on outside the cloud. 

The solution helps to pull information together for everyone to use.

What is most valuable is that you can schedule reports, there are a lot of supporting tools, and you have access to all that information.

Improvements can be made in the processing speed, how information displays, and options for scrolling.

We have been using the solution for five to six years. 

It is a stable product. 

It is absolutely scalable. We have about 2,000 users and plan to increase that number with the growth of our company. 

I have contacted tech support and rate my experience an eight or nine. 

Positive

When I got to the company I believe they used a different solution, but I don't recall its name.

I rate this product a nine out of ten.
