Salesforce Marketing Cloud Reviews

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.

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 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.

The tool's most valuable feature is its automation. We can integrate data with the Salesforce hub. Its Einstein feature tells us whether our campaigns are on the right track. It also helps with ideas. 

I have been using the product for seven years. 

I rate the solution's stability an eight out of ten. 

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is scalable. I rate it seven out of ten. 

Salesforce Marketing Cloud's tech support is responsive. There is a platform called Trailblazer where you can put in your queries. 

I used HubSpot before Salesforce Marketing Cloud. I switched the platform since I changed the company. In terms of data management, Salesforce outshines HubSpot. It provides robust data handling and excels in generating innovative ideas and feedback. Specifically, tools like Einstein contribute significantly by offering insights on enhancing EDR.

One standout feature is the 360-degree view in Salesforce, a capability absent in HubSpot.

The tool's deployment was straightforward. Deployment can be completed in two weeks. 

I rate the product a nine out of ten. 

With this solution, you can build up an opportunity, track it, look at missed opportunities, and output data to work on outside the cloud. 

The solution helps to pull information together for everyone to use.

What is most valuable is that you can schedule reports, there are a lot of supporting tools, and you have access to all that information.

Improvements can be made in the processing speed, how information displays, and options for scrolling.

We have been using the solution for five to six years. 

It is a stable product. 

It is absolutely scalable. We have about 2,000 users and plan to increase that number with the growth of our company. 

I have contacted tech support and rate my experience an eight or nine. 

Positive

When I got to the company I believe they used a different solution, but I don't recall its name. 

We installed the product on the cloud. 

I rate this product a nine out of ten. 

We are using Salesforce Marketing Cloud for management opportunities. Our sales teams use it. They create opportunities and they send those opportunities to other teams.

I like the user interface it has a nice look and feel.

I would like to see a team-building feature added.

I have been using Salesforce Marketing Cloud for three years now.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is scalable and we now have thousands of users.

Technical support is good but could be faster, maybe more knowledgeable, and more customer friendly.

Positive

The initial set-up is straightforward.

We deploy in-house for our installation needs and a vendor team is not required.

If someone wants to sell their product in a very good manner, they can use Salesforce Marketing Cloud. I would rate Salesforce Marketing Cloud an eight out of ten.

We use this solution for customer communication and sales engagement.

Marketing Cloud offers a 360 customers experience as it integrates with Service Cloud and Sales Cloud, the CRM portion of Salesforce. The different platforms integrate easily which makes it easy to manage customer communication using a single point of truth. 

The quality of support for this solution has been decreasing over time and the support team are sometimes more focused on closing tickets that resolving issues. Often the support team is not well trained or aware of the new features or products released by Salesforce. 

The stability of this solution depends on the amount of data that you have contained in the system. 

This is a scalable solution. 

The customer support for this solution are not great as they often make mistakes.

Neutral

The initial setup for this solution is straightforward but this does depend on each business' architecture. Salesforce has a lot of native connectors that make it easy to connect with systems, but this can involve legacy and governance restrictions.

This solution is priced in the medium to high price range. 

Marketing Cloud is a more user-friendly solution compared to Adobe Marketing Cloud. Marketing Cloud can be used by users who are not technically inclined.  

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
