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.
