More Adobe Campaign Pros →

"The most valuable features of Salesforce Marketing Cloud are that it performs well and gives me what I need. It's the most friendly interface system for CRM I've worked with. Additionally, it integrates fairly well with different kinds of AI and ML to allow you to receive more out of your application.""This is a very powerful and scalable solution.""The notification system for customer alerts, including the integration of various communication channels such as email, SMS, and mobile push, is excellent.""Salesforce is constantly evolving and have a good release cycle.""Marketing Cloud offers a 360 customers experience as it integrates with Service Cloud and Sales Cloud, the CRM portion of Salesforce. The different platforms integrate easily which makes it easy to manage customer communication using a single point of truth.""Email automation is most valuable.""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.""The tool is flexible and helps us with insights and reports. Salesforce Marketing Cloud has improved our organizational functions by creating an environment where clients and internal staff can access information about various solutions. For instance, clients can apply for different projects, and internal staff can approve them based on donor requirements. This simplifies communication between clients, donors, and our company,"

Cons
"The problems we faced with Adobe Campaigns in my company stemmed from the fact that it was very complex software."

More Adobe Campaign Cons →

"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.""The pricing is a bit high.""There is a lot of room for improvement in Salesforce Marketing Cloud's dashboards and the visualization of information in each journey.""We need a development environment for Marketing Cloud. Currently, there is no development environment for this solution. Other Salesforce products, such as Sales and Service Cloud, have a development environment in which the developers can do some things and then post them in production. Currently, everything happens in the production for Marketing Cloud. There is only one environment, and the developers and the end-users have to work in the same environment, which seems to be challenging. If Salesforce can bring a developer environment for Marketing Cloud, it will be good.""We'd like to see more integrations with third-party products.""The solution can have a better UI. Salesforce Marketing Cloud should consider making its solution more robust for error handling.""The encryption and decryption have room for improvement.""There could be easier tools to configure the product and to create landing pages to better handle large data sets."
