Offers, email automation, pre-scheduling, greatly enhances our efficiency and provides the granularity we need for in-depth analysis
The user interface could be made less complicated to enhance the end-user experience. It will create a difference. Another thing is integrations. I don't think all the integrations are covered. So, if there were more integrations it would help. However, a reduction in pricing could make it more competitive and justify its ROI better.
Aniket Sukale - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers the ability to create lesser campaigns and drip campaigns, flexible to use and robust
Eloqua's reporting is very strong. Oracle, by default, provides many out-of-the-box reports – probably more than 150 – that cover the most common use cases. Additionally, there's a feature called Insight, where you can build customized reports without any coding. These reports can be scheduled for delivery to your inbox at regular intervals – monthly, weekly, etc.

"It's my understanding that the initial setup is a straightforward process."
"The product has the most valuable enterprise features."
"The most valuable features are the reports, overall usability, and ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is probably automating the system. I can send mass emails to pretty much all my contacts or certain ones that meet the demographic requirements. I've used this one and one other CRM with an auto sales company. From my experience, just the ease of use and the user interface on HubSpot is phenomenal. It's really simple and easy to navigate the program. The functionality is phenomenal, and not just the Microsoft Office part but also with LinkedIn Sales Navigator. It's pretty nice."
"The ease of maintenance is the most valuable feature."
"It provides good support for really large databases."
"It is a user-friendly product."
"The solution's engine framework is quite simple, giving you the agility you need in the business."
"The solution is stable."
"I've used other marketing automation tools, like Marketo, that require more technical knowledge. Eloqua is straightforward and user-friendly."
"I like the insight part, where we can pull the reports. Oracle Eloqua can generate reports on the activities that customers take or that we do. That is one interesting part that I enjoy working with."
"The solution is good for B2B email marketing."
 

Cons

"The tool should improve email marketing solution. It is behind its competitors for bulk campaigns."
"HubSpot Marketing Hub’s user interface could be more accessible for a regular user to understand."
"There are some issues with HubSpot Marketing Hub with receiving notifications. It was too difficult to understand, and it requires a lot of effort. Configuration could be simplified."
"An expensive solution."
"They're not the cheapest."
"One thing I'd like to see added is better link tracking. I want to see traffic coming to links I embed in my emails, whether from social media, email, or ads. This would help me understand how many visitors come to my website from different channels."
"The user interface could be made less complicated to enhance the end-user experience. It will create a difference."
"The tool could concentrate on improving the analytics and the overall user experience with AI."
"​Reporting is very clunky and not user friendly.​"
"The product's initial setup process could be better."
"The solution should consider adding functionality related to event listening, such as webhooks."
"There are some things where improvement is needed. For me, it would be great if they integrated a tool like AI configuration capabilities within Eloqua itself."
"The reporting features should be improved."
"This product hasn't kept up to date on features."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"Eloqua doesn't have built-in features for WhatsApp marketing or SMS functionality."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform itself will typically cost anywhere from $50,000 to $80,000 per year."
"I'd rate the solution's pricing in the middle range. I want more regular communication from our customer service manager to help us improve our use of HubSpot Marketing Hub."
"At present, the pricing seems reasonable, but with our plans to scale, I anticipate that it could become a bit steep."
"For our organization, HubSpot was pretty affordable compared to Google Analytics."
"I believe an individual license costs $50 per month."
"HubSpot Marketing Hub provided me with the startup package with 90% off, but it's still hundreds of dollars a month instead of thousands of dollars a month. There is an additional cost for training and onboarding which is hundreds of dollars. It is expensive and should be reduced."
"We are on an annual license for this solution. There have many different versions to meet the needs of their customers, such as professional enterprise and basic versions. They charge for the particular feature or components which are available in the license you have."
"HubSpot Marketing Hub is less expensive than one of its competitors."
"Oracle Eloqua's pricing is medium."
"It's quite expensive."
"Oracle Eloqua can be expensive compared to alternatives."
"The solution is expensive."
"The tool is pricey compared to products like Marketo."
"Oracle Eloqua is quite an affordable solution."
"Our licensing costs are yearly."
