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.

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.

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."

"The most valuable features are the Marketo emails, both sending and tracking."

"The main highlights of Marketo are its support structure, the documentation available, and the features mainly related to forms, landing pages, and leads. Although other platforms like Oracle Eloqua have similar features, Marketo's support structure, lead generation, and segmentation features are easier than those of different platforms."

"Great ease of use creation for campaigns."

"The most valuable feature is the scoring."

"Overall - I am very pleased with Marketo for email automation and lead management."

"I like that the solution is flexible."

"Considering the features it offers, it provides value for money."

"We are scoring based on behavior without pressure, and it keeps producing excellent results."

Cons

"I would like to see support for new social communication tools, and improvements to the web page monitoring capabilities."

"Wish it had a better user interface"

"Some modern Marketo features could be improved."

"Marketo is still very slow."

"There is a bit of room for improvement in the level-one support team. It relies too much on documentation."

"Takes time to setup and manage."

"In terms of scalability, the more leads you have, the longer it takes to sync with Salesforce."

"Customer Service: This is where Marketo falls short. Their customer service is awful."

"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."

"Marketo is used a lot because it's cheaper and preferred by many firms."

"The initial pricing was excellent, but the pricing for renewals is not as good."

"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."

"The licensing cost usually depends on the users."

"The pricing is not cheap, but it's not that expensive either."

"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."

"Marketo is too expensive for a small-sized company but more affordable for a larger-sized company."

"It is expensive. We have a yearly license."
