JF
Product Manager at Nodos Consultores
Manage campaigns from start to finish, good integration, and a powerful email template builder
I would like to see support for new social communication tools, and improvements to the web page monitoring capabilities. Improvements can be made to the outbound chat campaigns so that we can include them in marketing campaigns. This would be a new element to use in case email is not good for the client. For example, there are university students who prefer to receive info via their phone, rather than in email. It is possible to do this, but I think it is something that can be improved because social communication networks yield a much better response than the "old" email campaigns.
Anika Gaur - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Digital Solutions Analyst at Rich Products
Effective lead management and useability with room for reporting improvements
Customer support could be more helpful. The reporting could be better, with more engaging reports and the ability to collaborate more objects, like opportunities. Incorporating AI features similar to tools like HubSpot and Salesforce account engagement would be beneficial. Additionally, Marketo should work on automating tools and updating the product since it looks similar to how it did five years ago.

Cons

"I would like to see support for new social communication tools, and improvements to the web page monitoring capabilities."
"I had an issue while integrating JavaScript with forms."
"Some modern Marketo features could be improved."
"The user experience needs improvement, particularly in terms of ease of use and navigation between projects."
"Changing a campaign in progress (i.e. changing the wait period between emails) is unnecessarily complicated."
"I have encountered issues when I had to use filters repeatedly. It would have been helpful if I could duplicate them directly, instead of dragging them. Also, having an option to save filters for future use would have saved a lot of time, especially when dealing with multiple filters."
"Marketo is still very slow."
"It could be more scalable."
"Its APIs need to be more flexible because there are some things that are not available in the API."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Considering that we have many tools and components available in this one platform, the price of this product is low."
"The initial pricing was excellent, but the pricing for renewals is not as good."
"Marketo is used a lot because it's cheaper and preferred by many firms."
"Marketo's pricing depends on the number of contacts and the level of features you need. Compared to other platforms like Oracle Eloqua and Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Marketo is generally more affordable. Like other platforms, it offers different packages based on your needs."
"Marketo is too expensive for a small-sized company but more affordable for a larger-sized company."
"The pricing is not cheap, but it's not that expensive either."
"The solution is expensive compared to others."
"I'm not sure about the cost because I don't get into this aspect. Clients normally take care of that. I only know that it is costly, and I don't think there are any additional costs to the licensing."
"The licensing cost usually depends on the users."
