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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Considering that we have many tools and components available in this one platform, the price of this product is low."
"The elements of Campaigns allow you to automate a marketing activity from start to finish, not requiring human intervention in the process itself."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Smart Campaigns."
"The most valuable feature is the scoring."
"I like that the solution is flexible."
"With the scoring and how we deploy it, we have a greater integration between Marketo and Salesforce, which allows our sales team to focus on people we believe are ready for conversations, rather than everyone they had to talk to before."
"One feature I like is the user interface. Compared to other tools I've used, it's much more friendly and easy to navigate. Additionally, it offers a wide range of features, which makes tasks like segmenting data much simpler."
"Great ease of use creation for campaigns."
"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."
"I have a good special setup and a huge NetFlow to the sales channel."
 

Cons

"I would like to see support for new social communication tools, and improvements to the web page monitoring capabilities."
"Marketo should give more power to the users for data manipulation."
"For the moment, we migrated some of our processes to Marketo and implemented them there. We had some difficulties related to this."
"The user interface could be improved."
"In terms of scalability, the more leads you have, the longer it takes to sync with Salesforce."
"The user experience needs improvement, particularly in terms of ease of use and navigation between projects."
"Its APIs need to be more flexible because there are some things that are not available in the API."
"Segmentation in Marketo is limited to a maximum of 20 segments. Depending on the company's specific needs, these segments can be based on various attributes such as company, industry, or other values. Sometimes, there's a lag when sending data from Marketo to any CRM. It can take around five to fifteen minutes for the report to sync."
"Adobe, the parent company, needs to improve on getting more information published to allow users to educate themselves on how to use the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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