Salesforce Marketing Cloud Reviews

I'm the director of customer experience and we are partners with Salesforce. 

The Journey Builder, which has been around for a while and follows the steps that customers use, is the greatest tool that Salesforce has. In terms of newer features, Einstein Analytics for marketing is in a very hot happening area. I also like the Interaction Studio and the Datorama marketing analytics.

The data extension tools are not very user-friendly. They've been working on the CDP capability for the last couple of years but it needs improvement in terms of it being within the tool and real-time activation of data. 

I've been using this solution for seven years. 

The solution is very stable. 

The solution is scalable because it's got a multi-business unit architecture. It can be designed as required. We have multiple customers so it's hard to measure the number of users. If it's a deployment tool, for example, then there might be an average of 600-700 users that would require a team of five or six for support. 

Customer service is quite responsive.

The initial setup is very intuitive and straightforward. 

This solution is absolutely on the top and I rate it 10 out of 10. 

The type of deployment depends on the client's requirements. Each client has different requirements. Some of them are on the cloud, and others are on a hybrid deployment.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is used mainly for the customer's journey and the customer orchestration campaign.

The most valuable of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is seeing the customer's journey.

The majority of my clients are happy, but when it comes to the CDP of Salesforce, the client gets confused. They have no clue that Salesforce has a CDP platform too. If my clients want to go ahead with the same vendor, Salesforce, they get confused about the different marketing suites which are available. There is no clear marketing done for the suites available for the clients, this is where the client is facing the real challenges.

In an upcoming release, they should make their templates more organized.

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

The scalability is fantastic. There are a lot of integrations available.

A few of our clients found using Salesforce Marketing Cloud challenging after they upgraded, they were finding it difficult to just move to the newer version of the Salesforce. They were using two different versions of the same platform and they were complaining about the customer support because they did not help them out. However, we are now satisfied.

I have used Marketo and other Adobe solutions.

The deployment of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is very easy.

Salesforce has different versions of the solution and some are more suitable for smaller clients. However, Salesforce is expensive.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a fantastic solution, but be aware of its technicalities when installation.

I rate Salesforce Marketing Cloud an eight out of ten.

We are using Salesforce Marketing Cloud in our beverage company. This company is in Costa Rica. We're using it to get all the information we need from potential prospects. It is not being used for B2B business. It's more being used for B2C, where we collect a lot of information with CloudPages about all the brands we have. 

We have an average of 50 brands here in the company. We used to work with partners on the marketing side, however, we never got all the data we wanted and we didn't have the centralized data from our end-users. 

The aim of this project, from the beginning, was to get all the information and have it as our own, to be collected on our systems and our databases. We're using it for marketing in that way. We're still working with partners, however, now the partners needs to use our solution, instead of using any solution they have.

The solution has a lot of great aspects. We have the Social Studio. We have, DMP and Audience Studio. We're using the email solution as well. The Journey and CloudPages and automation are all great. We use all of them for the most part.

The pricing is a bit high. In our country our company is one of the biggest, however, the price is really high even for us sometimes. 

We are looking for CDP solutions. Salesforce was offering that to be ready and this year, however, it seems it's not ready yet. It could be in January. On the other hand, SAP has the solution already implemented, which makes them a more appealing solution for us right now. The business is pushing us to move to another solution due to the fact that they need the CDP solution ASAP. 

I've been using the solution for three years at this point. 

We were comparing also this solution with the SAP Marketing Cloud.

We are customers and end-users. We don't have a business relationship with Salesforce. 

We have the complete suite for marketing on Salesforce here. It is an enterprise-level product.

I'd rate the solution at a nine out of ten. 

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.

I use Salesforce Marketing Cloud for prospecting, chasing new business, and looking for new business. I also use it to keep track of conversations I have with customers. I also use the solution for following up with customers.

I like that I can constantly add leads to Salesforce Marketing Cloud and look at accounts there. I also like that the solution lets me set up meetings.

The main action I want to do in Salesforce Marketing Cloud is to export data into Excel and use it. That may be possible, but the company I work for doesn't allow it because of fear of the data getting exfiltrated or taken by salespeople who leave the company. My company may have that feature locked down, or if the Excel data exporting function still isn't available in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, that's the feature I want.

I've been using Salesforce Marketing Cloud for about one year.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a stable solution.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a cloud-based solution, so it's very scalable. Currently, my company has ten users, and if it wanted to increase that number to one hundred, it wouldn't be a problem in Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

I've never used Salesforce Marketing Cloud technical support.

Apart from using Salesforce Marketing Cloud, I used Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and to be honest, I prefer that over Salesforce Marketing Cloud. However, my company uses Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

The initial setup for Salesforce Marketing Cloud is okay, but I didn't deploy it because it was already there when I joined the company.

I'm sure Salesforce Marketing Cloud does give a return, but I don't know how much. Running the business without ROI from Salesforce Marketing Cloud or any other solution would be very difficult.

I don't know if my company pays for Salesforce Marketing Cloud monthly or yearly. It's a SaaS, so it's a recurring cost, but I have no information on its price.

I'm using the latest version of Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

There's a plan to increase the number of Salesforce Marketing Cloud users, but only a little bit, such as one or two more users, but it's not going to be a one hundred percent increase. It'll be a slight increase.

I would recommend Salesforce Marketing Cloud to others because it's okay as a solution. However, I started with Microsoft Dynamics CRM and knew that system better, so I like it more, but Salesforce Marketing Cloud is okay.

I'm giving Salesforce Marketing Cloud a seven 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.
