Salesforce Marketing Cloud Reviews

The ability to automate processes is one of the most valuable features of Salesforce. This sets it part from other systems. We use the journey builder to design a fully automated journey. 

In a future release it would be great to have the ability to connect the data from social media and email marketing and have it in one dashboard. 

I have been using this solution for five years. 

This is a stable solution. 

This is a scalable solution. 

The support for this solution is good. 

Positive

The initial setup is straightforward. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten. 

We use Salesforce to manage our customers' data, to make sales campaigns, and to provide customer care.

The most valuable part of the solution are the selling features. 

I want to improve the cost because the larger you get, sometimes the price rises in a way that I don't like. It's a very good solution, but the way the prices are structured is not always good, and I feel like that is a problem.

I have used this solution for two years. 

The scalability of the solution is perfect. There are 300 direct users in our organization. We have five IT people who handle administration and connect with the integrator if there is an issue, and that is more than enough for us.

I would give Salesforce support a four out of five because it is very, very good in terms of documentation. However, if you have a serious defect that is harder to solve, it can take some time to get a response.

Positive

The setup is quite straightforward. The process is standard and very easy to understand. 

We hired an integrator, and we implemented the solution in phases. It took nine months to a year for everything. First, we deployed customer care, then the 360 view of our customers, and then the selling part.

We have two types of licensing. We have a yearly license for end users and we have a concurrent login for selling. 

I would definitely recommend this product. I would rate it as an eight out of ten. 

We primarily use the solution for customer ticket management and for services.

The data management is great. We like how it is organized. I'm able to view the tickets in a well-organized manner. That is quite useful. 

The notifications as well are good.

It is straightforward to set up.

It is a scalable product.

User management could be better.

I've been using the solution for four months or so now. 

It's too early to say if it is properly stable. I've been using it for just four months, and I've just been onboarded for two months. That said, I have had no issues.

The solution can scale well. 

We have 12 people using the solution on my project. I'm not sure if other people or other teams are also using it. I'm not sure if marketing plans to increase usage at this time. 

I've never used technical support.

We previously used Jira and migrated to Salesforce. 

The solution is very straightforward and simple to implement. It's not complex at all. 

That said, I have not deployed it myself. It was another team who handled it. I don't know about the details. I also do not have details in regards to maintaining it and if we have any team members dedicated to that task. 

I'm not sure of the exact costs. That's handled at an organizational level.

We're using the latest version on the cloud.

I'd advise potential users to try before they buy so that can see it in action and decide if they like it. Pricing should be looked into too. If it's small-scale, it's okay. I'm not sure about large-scale costs. 

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

We use it to communicate with our customers. We look at the reports to see the communication engagement, and then we do sequencing to make sure that there are continuous touchpoints with the client. We are using its latest version.

Email automation is most valuable.

The general setup and understanding of how to use it can be improved. There should be easier self-service for setting up dashboards. Currently, we have someone setting them up for us. I wish it was easier.

It is pretty robust, and I've never had issues with it being unstable.

It is very scalable, and it grows with your company. Currently, it is being used by only three marketers. As we grow, we probably will increase its usage.

We have not contacted them. It might be a paid service, and I don't know if we have that.

It was complex. 

We hired an outside company to help us.

We did a yearly license. We negotiated and got a great deal. I don't think we would have gotten far with the regular price, but they negotiated, so it was worth that.

I would advise others to invest in onboarding and implementation because you want to set it up right from the beginning. If you set it up wrong, you'll be spending more money.

I would rate Salesforce Marketing Cloud an eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for holding our contacts and opportunities as well as general reporting. 

The performance and stability have been good overall.

We have found the solution to be scalable. 

The query building's a bit weak if you want to build something new. It's a bit complicated. We need it to be easier to build a query dashboard in Salesforce. 

The product could use a little bit of BI in the sense of rule-based building.

I've used the solution for seven or eight years or maybe even longer at this point. 

We have found the solution stable. The performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The product can scale as needed. It's not a problem.

We have around 1,000 people in our organization using the solution. 

I'm not sure if there are plans to increase usage.

You pay for what you get with technical support. I've used it in the past, however, in a different position.

I never set up the solution directly. I only use it. Someone else handled the implementation. 

I am unsure of the exact costs. I'm just a user. I don't handle any licensing aspects. 

In terms of capability, I'd rate the product nine out of ten. In terms of usability, I'd rate it about seven. In general, I would rate the product eight out of ten.

We use Salesforce Field Service for engineer visits. For example, to keep track of when they visit and when they went to service.  All this can be done through the Salesforce field service. In adition, we mainly use it in the marketing space, we did two project(s).  

The most valuable feature of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is the seamless conversion of lead to opportunity, in relation to orders is good. That seamless connection is beneficial and simple.

When you use your iPhone or Android phone, Salesforce is not as user-friendly as it could be. That UX needs to be improved.

React Native is a newmobile app based framework, where you can build one framework which will work with Android, iPhone, tablets, and all browsers. What you see is what you get on all the different platforms. I get this in Salesforce as well, but the UX is not beautiful. This is not required for business, but when you spend some money, the UI should look very beautiful.

I have been using  Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Field Service for approximately 4 Years

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a stable solution.

The scalability of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is good.

We have two clients using this solution and one of them has over 100 field engineers are using it.

We provide support for Salesforce, Marketing, Sales, CPQ, Service/Field service and Tableu Reporting .

Positive

I have used SAP CRM previously and Salesforce Marketing Cloud is more flexible.

The initial setup or implementation is straightforward. You can be in operation within three to four weeks subject to the scope and size of the Organaisation.

We have approximately seven people for the maintenance and support of Salesforce Marketing Cloud and another 5 to 7 consultants for Field service space.

The solution is paid for monthly.

I would recommend this solution for small to medium companies. If they are large enterprises I would choose SAP CRM.

I rate Salesforce Marketing Cloud an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for sending personalized emails to prospects and clients for reminder consultations or meetings. Use 'Journey Builder' to have clients/prospects first name, last name, financial advisor's signature at the bottom, and dynamic sender for personalized emails that are sent ad hoc, weekly, and monthly.

This solution has improved organization brand awareness with prospects and clients. It can track open and click-through rates, among other Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). While only Premier Support customers (like our firm) have access to Accelerators, these subject matter-taught webinars give detailed implementation instructions.

The most valuable feature is the 'Accelerators', which are expert-taught subject matter webinars on items such as personalization of emails and SMS to contacts and prospects.

Setting up the 'short code' with cell phone carriers to send short messages to contacts and prospects has proved valuable.

We would like an improvement to the 'Einstein Engagement Frequency'; the optimal range of emails that our subscribers will engage with. Then take action to suppress those who receive too many or send more to those receiving too few. Also, we would like a 'sandbox' for Marketing Cloud because only PROD exists today.

Market Volt was elementary compared to Marketing Cloud.

Know that six months on ingesting data is a minimum requirement. You cannot port six months of data, it must be ingested.

Salesforce offered Pardot but the 'road map' showed the long-term internal investment would be on Marketing Cloud.

We are only touching the surface of segmentation in the Marketing Cloud, primarily for sales and marketing teams.

I use Salesforce Marketing Cloud for prospecting, chasing new business, and looking for new business. I also use it to keep track of conversations I have with customers. I also use the solution for following up with customers.

I like that I can constantly add leads to Salesforce Marketing Cloud and look at accounts there. I also like that the solution lets me set up meetings.

The main action I want to do in Salesforce Marketing Cloud is to export data into Excel and use it. That may be possible, but the company I work for doesn't allow it because of fear of the data getting exfiltrated or taken by salespeople who leave the company. My company may have that feature locked down, or if the Excel data exporting function still isn't available in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, that's the feature I want.

I've been using Salesforce Marketing Cloud for about one year.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a stable solution.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a cloud-based solution, so it's very scalable. Currently, my company has ten users, and if it wanted to increase that number to one hundred, it wouldn't be a problem in Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

I've never used Salesforce Marketing Cloud technical support.

Apart from using Salesforce Marketing Cloud, I used Microsoft Dynamics CRM, and to be honest, I prefer that over Salesforce Marketing Cloud. However, my company uses Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

The initial setup for Salesforce Marketing Cloud is okay, but I didn't deploy it because it was already there when I joined the company.

I'm sure Salesforce Marketing Cloud does give a return, but I don't know how much. Running the business without ROI from Salesforce Marketing Cloud or any other solution would be very difficult.

I don't know if my company pays for Salesforce Marketing Cloud monthly or yearly. It's a SaaS, so it's a recurring cost, but I have no information on its price.

I'm using the latest version of Salesforce Marketing Cloud.

There's a plan to increase the number of Salesforce Marketing Cloud users, but only a little bit, such as one or two more users, but it's not going to be a one hundred percent increase. It'll be a slight increase.

I would recommend Salesforce Marketing Cloud to others because it's okay as a solution. However, I started with Microsoft Dynamics CRM and knew that system better, so I like it more, but Salesforce Marketing Cloud is okay.

I'm giving Salesforce Marketing Cloud a seven out of ten.
