Great bulk upload and two-way SMS
I mainly use IMIcampaign to send SMS messages IMIcampaign's best features are bulk upload and send and the ease of adding customers. Its two-way SMS channel is also valuable. IMIcampaign's ability to deliver to other countries could be improved. It also has a limit of 160 characters on SMS and…

Easy to deploy, stable, and scalable
The encryption and decryption have room for improvement. We need to be confident that the customer's data is secure when shared outside of the organization. I would like to request additional mobile app features that go beyond push notifications. As the mobile development industry continues to advance with new technologies, such as AI components, it is important to consider these advancements when setting up campaigns. Currently, campaigns are scheduled to be sent to customers at a prescribed time, but they may not be relevant to the customer unless they see them as valuable. For example, if I want to run a campaign offering loans, I would need to consider the customer's needs and balance. In the future, I hope Salesforce can incorporate an AI component that utilizes the shared data, rather than just scheduling campaigns.

Pros

"IMIcampaign's best features are bulk upload and send and the ease of adding customers."
"We use this solution for reporting, pipeline generation, and forecasting."
"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."
"You can schedule reports, there's a lot of supporting tools, and you have access to all that information."
"We haven't had any issues with integration."
"The most valuable part of the solution are the selling features."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce are the automation and the ability to create dashboards which provide a wider picture of what is going on."

Cons

"I would like to see more ways to accomplish specific tasks."
"Managing large volumes of data takes too long."
"If you want to use advanced features in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, they are extremely difficult to use."
"Marketing Cloud should change the script language that it uses because it's not good. It's tricky and difficult to develop."
"The solution can be difficult to set up for non-technical individuals."
"The customization of Salesforce, a generic CRM software, has room for improvement."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud could improve by having more graphical options because a lot of tables are now only numbers and percentages and data. I prefer graphs, lines, and pie charts. I know there are ways to receive this from Salesforce Marketing Cloud. It doesn't play a huge role in my daily work to invest the time to figure it out. I feel that it would be time wasted. They could make the graphical options easier to find and use in the future."
"There could be easier tools to configure the product and to create landing pages to better handle large data sets."
