Salesforce Marketing Cloud Reviews

We use it to communicate with our customers. We look at the reports to see the communication engagement, and then we do sequencing to make sure that there are continuous touchpoints with the client. We are using its latest version.

Email automation is most valuable.

The general setup and understanding of how to use it can be improved. There should be easier self-service for setting up dashboards. Currently, we have someone setting them up for us. I wish it was easier.

It is pretty robust, and I've never had issues with it being unstable.

It is very scalable, and it grows with your company. Currently, it is being used by only three marketers. As we grow, we probably will increase its usage.

We have not contacted them. It might be a paid service, and I don't know if we have that.

It was complex. 

We hired an outside company to help us.

We did a yearly license. We negotiated and got a great deal. I don't think we would have gotten far with the regular price, but they negotiated, so it was worth that.

I would advise others to invest in onboarding and implementation because you want to set it up right from the beginning. If you set it up wrong, you'll be spending more money.

I would rate Salesforce Marketing Cloud an eight out of ten.

We are using Salesforce Marketing Cloud for the CRM functionality. We have the accounts for each of our customers, the contact points, the opportunities, and the lists of assets, and entitlements they have. We can have a comprehensive view of all the customer history inside our company, such as contract dates. If they need to renew or replace anything, it's easier to keep in touch with the customer, because we have the information in a single place.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud has helped the organization by having centralized management capabilities. We have all the information from a single point of view. It is useful for me, for example, if I am to be looking at a customer account with my boss, which is in a different location from me, we can see the same account. He has access to the same piece of information I have. He has more access and can bring me more details. The solution is good for collaborative work, things can get done faster.

The most valuable feature of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is the reporting engine. Reports are very good and easy to build.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud could improve by having the ability to detect duplicate accounts. Sometimes you search for a customer and you have five or six different records for the same customer. You look inside, all the records have the same data, and Salesforce Marketing Cloud says it could not find any duplicate accounts for it. It would be nice to have more intelligence for the detection of duplicates.

In a future release, adding end-user personalization would be a benefit.

I have been using Salesforce Marketing Cloud for approximately four years.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a stable solution.

The scalability of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is good.

We have approximately 600 to 700 users using this solution from the sales and marketing team.

I have not used the support from Salesforce Marketing Cloud, but I heard it was good.

The implementation of Salesforce Marketing Cloud was done by the vendor.

The maintenance is done by the vendor.

There are many different pieces of Salesforce, I would advise others to run a deep analysis and a proof of concept to evaluate everything before purchasing because it's a huge solution. It has very different modules and features. It may be too big for what they need. It's important to evaluate and do a proof of concept.

I rate Salesforce Marketing Cloud a nine out of ten.

I have used Salesforce Marketing Cloud in many places, such as the navy, banks, and business centers. We can create the opportunity through the solution.

The most valuable feature of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is the ability to sell the products we have made to customers. Overall the solution is very useful for business.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud should be linked to an email ID, so the features after 15 days can update on the opportunity. You should not have to update them manually to the next step.

I have been using Salesforce Marketing Cloud for approximately 15 years.

The stability of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is good because it is managing all of our data.

We have approximately 300 people using this solution in my organization.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is scalable.

I have not contacted support from Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

The initial setup of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is straightforward.

I rate Salesforce Marketing Cloud an eight out of ten.

We use Salesforce Marketing Cloud for the opportunity, lead, and contact management.

The most valuable features of Salesforce Marketing Cloud are the ease of use of the basic features.

If you want to use advanced features in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, they are extremely difficult to use.

I have been using Salesforce Marketing Cloud for approximately two years.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is stable.

The scalability of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is very good. We have five users that are using this solution.

I have not contacted the support from Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

I have not used another solution previously. 

We haven't seen a return on investment using Salesforce Marketing Cloud. We're investing more into it to advance our marketing capability at the moment but we've not seen that return on investment to date.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a highly expensive solution, it needs to be less expensive. We are on an annual license to use the solution.

I would recommend Salesforce Marketing Cloud to others, it fits a certain hole in the organization's CRM capability. It depends on the size of the organization and how much money they have to spend because it could be very expensive.

I rate Salesforce Marketing Cloud a six out of ten.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud can also be linked to your website directly via API. Whatever happens on the website or if there are any automatic forms for customers to fill out, it automatically creates leads in the system, in Salesforce.

It has excellent lead and opportunity tracking.

The dashboards should be more intuitive, as there are far too many items on them. You're not always sure what you're looking for.

I have been working with Salesforce Marketing Cloud for three years.

As a cloud-based solution, you are always using the most recent version.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a stable solution.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is scalable.

The clients for whom I work, have a few hundred users.

Personally, I have not had any issues, and have not contacted technical support.

Previously, I worked with SugarCRM. Approximately eight years ago. In my opinion, it was much less scalable. But it was also fine, and perhaps more intuitive. There weren't a lot of things. In my opinion, Salesforce is on a different level. However, because it has been eight years, SugarCRM may have moved on.

I'm not familiar with the installation procedure. I am an end-user. I log myself in and that's it.

Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis.

Salesforce is an excellent choice. I connect to my clients' Salesforce, I have access as well, with limited access because you can scale. I'm not sure if a small business requires it, or how difficult would it be to install in a really small, company, but, I would recommend it to others who are interested and any other company.

I would rate Salesforce Marketing Cloud a nine out of ten.

I mostly use Marketing Cloud to create sales opportunities, keep track of my pipeline, and create quotes.

The most valuable feature is the ability to get quotes out in a timely manner.

Marketing Cloud's forecasting could be improved. I also think it's overrated when it comes to its CRM - I've seen other platforms do it just as well, if not better.

I've been using this solution for nine months.

Salesforce is stable, especially in comparison to Oracle Sales Cloud, which tends to crap out and require refreshing, especially when creating quotes.

I find that Marketing Cloud is scalable.

I've also used Oracle Sales Cloud, which I find is better for creating opportunities and keeping track of your pipeline. With Salesforce, you need to create specific custom reports to see all your opportunities in one spot, whereas it's a little more intuitive with Fusion to click a few buttons and see everything. Salesforce has almost too many options. However, creating a quote is much easier with Salesforce than with Oracle Sales Cloud.

There's a learning curve to Marketing Cloud - it requires a ramp-up time of about a month playing around with the CRMs in order to be fairly proficient.

I would give Marketing Cloud a score of seven out of ten.

We use this solution for reporting, pipeline generation, and forecasting.

This solution could be more user-friendly.

I have used this solution for five years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

The response from the customer service team could be faster and the agents could be more knowledgeable. 

The initial setup is straightforward but using the solution as a user for the first time is complicated.

I recommend this solution for large companies compared to smaller ones.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

CRM stands for customer relationship management. The CRM contains all of the customer data requirements, contacts, projects, and support issues.

As a user, I believe it meets our requirements.

The performance is sometimes sluggish, but I think that's to be expected with a heavy CRM tool because they're running reports in real-time on the data that you have entered. Since it's a global tool, I am sure all businesses use it in some capacity.

It's a heavily loaded tool. Whenever you're retrieving any data that's being retrieved on live data, keep that in mind. It's only as good as your data. If you have a lot of fields on your page that you want to load, it will take a minute or 30 seconds to load. But it's just that now that we live in the 2.0 world, everything is sort of there for you right away. So it feels a little slow in that regard, but I suppose there's not much else they can do at this point.

I have been working with Salesforce Marketing Cloud for three years since I joined the company.

As it's a cloud-based solution, it is always the latest version that we are using.

I don't have any issues with the stability of Salesforce Marketing Cloud

We have 200 users in our company.

We intend to increase our usage, but not massively.

I have not contacted technical support.

I have not used a different CRM solution.

It's a software-as-a-service solution. Everything is managed centrally from the cloud. As far as I can tell, installation is relatively simple.

Based on my previous technical experience, I would say that you can install it yourself. You would need a Salesforce administrator, or a dedicated person to do it, but it's a fairly intuitive tool.

The Salesforce team creates a tenant for us that is separate from their other customers. And we are benefiting from their SaaS solution.

It is a license per user. There could be a minimum limit, but I'm pretty sure it's a per-user license.

I'm a user, not an administrator, so I wouldn't know much about the features, but the ones we use work fine.

I would definitely recommend this solution to others who are interested in using it.

I would rate Salesforce Marketing Cloud a ten out of ten.
