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.

Useful features, produces excellent results, with an easy setup
Some modern Marketo features could be improved. I'm quite good with the filters, and in the admin section, I can build it with many more third parties. This allows me to integrate some additional printers. Issues could be fixed rather than relying on third-party sources. While Marketo lacks a particular feature for calculating formulas, it could be integrated to allow easy calculation on forms. Right now, it only supports a single range of numbers. This feature might already be a default filter in the future. Marketo's lead scoring impacts the sales process, so improvements are possible. In the marketplace, I track campaigns and certificates, however, filter additions are needed. Having some calculated formulas in a default format would enhance functionality. Marketo filters are not very efficient, and timely updates or features could improve this aspect.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The elements of Campaigns allow you to automate a marketing activity from start to finish, not requiring human intervention in the process itself."
"Considering that we have many tools and components available in this one platform, the price of this product is low."
"I like that Marketo is user-friendly and has an easy view. It's like a one-stop solution for everyone. It is very good, and you can categorize leads in different ways. You can also create your custom objects and enjoy good connectivity."
"Marketo is excellent in terms of hands-on usability and lead database management."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Smart Campaigns."
"I like that the solution is flexible."
"We are scoring based on behavior without pressure, and it keeps producing excellent results."
"We have a better alignment of sales and marketing."
"Advanced capabilities for closed-loop lead management"
"Considering the features it offers, it provides value for money."
 

Cons

"I would like to see support for new social communication tools, and improvements to the web page monitoring capabilities."
"Takes time to setup and manage."
"Adobe, the parent company, needs to improve on getting more information published to allow users to educate themselves on how to use the solution."
"I had an issue while integrating JavaScript with forms. When you embed JavaScript, you can either embed it in a landing page or some other self-contained management system like WordPress. Currently, it provides you access to CSS, where you can customize your form design, but there is no option for JavaScript modification for a particular form. This area needs to be improved where you can integrate JavaScript, and it has the JavaScript functions for that particular form. There are a lot of other areas of improvement. In the design area, they can give us more testing options instead of relying on email testing alone. It would be great if they can provide responsive testing where email clients can be tested within Marketo. It would be also helpful if they can implement some in-built options for users or forms for blocking a generic email ID such as Yahoo or Gmail. Similarly, it would be helpful to have JavaScript features and forms as well as the option to add Google analytics and a header and footer for the landing pages."
"Marketo's reporting and dashboarding features could be better. Compared to other tools, the visualization options with charts and graphs seem somewhat limited."
"Our experience with the renewal process has been frustrating. Marketo bakes a substantial price increase into each contract which has required renegotiation every year."
"Revenue management, attribution, and ABM can all be improved."
"Pricing. It is NOT cheap, given the functionality of the product. Feels like I could be paying less."
"Changing a campaign in progress (i.e. changing the wait period between emails) is unnecessarily complicated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Considering that we have many tools and components available in this one platform, the price of this product is low."
"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."
"It is expensive. We have a yearly license."
"The solution is expensive compared to others."
"The initial pricing was excellent, but the pricing for renewals is not as good."
"The licensing cost usually depends on the users."
"Marketo is used a lot because it's cheaper and preferred by many firms."
"The pricing is not cheap, but it's not that expensive either."
"Marketo is too expensive for a small-sized company but more affordable for a larger-sized company."
