Pros

Encourages cross-team communications. Great support from the vendor, and strong community of users and third-party integrators.
Was quite easy to understand for novice and navigate around and had easy to use and useful automated marketing features that made reaching a large audience seamlessly easy.
We use salesforce daily to engage with customers on a daily basis. It has been very helpful in managing customer journeys, sending and preparing emails, and getting good reporting.

Pros

The functionality of Pardot and the analytics are awesome. This software is a great way to successfully streamline marketing efforts to your customers.
Custom redirects are also one of the best features that Pardot has because you can utilize them on all SoMe platforms for prospect tracking and provide more quality on certain links on your website.
Overall, it is a very good product. Certainly worth the investment if you are can invest the time and resources to improve your marketing efforts.

Cons

The price, the user experience, the lack of multibrand use. When I threatened to take my business elsewhere we had one call with the VP but then he stopped responding to calls and emails.
It felt like they were just as fed up with this crap tool as we are. Although they didn't say it, I think one of our key employees quit over the frustration of dealing with marketing cloud.
Not all pending sends will list themselves under "Pending Sends," so that has caused some issues with accidentally sending the same email to the same list more than once.

Cons

I had advised the salesperson of my challenges and concerns with implementing myself which he downplayed and disregarded. It was a complete waste of time and resources for our organization.
After determining that the product simply doesn't work we are transitioning to their competitors. Pardot is still forcing us to pay licensing fees even though their product failed to function.
The emails send directly to our customers junk mail. So tough to change and their customer service is HORRENDOUS.

Improve your customer engagement with built-in deliverability and A/B testing solutions. Salesforce Marketing Cloud offers hundreds of features to help you execute on every possible communication, from basic email marketing to sophisticated Predictive Intelligence decisioning.

Pros

Cons

Costly Time-intensive Little training unless purchased separately. It can be very overwhelming at first learning Marketing Cloud as a whole. Back-end can be complex; expensive for small scale businesses; can be time-consuming to learn to use

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is great and only getting better.

Reviewed 4 years ago

Positive. Salesforce Marketing Cloud is and will be the cornerstone of our marketing plans going forward.

Pros

Data extensions and their flexibility. Do you want to create a list of subscribers from a landing page? Want to upload an email list from an external source? Want to create a catalog of your ecommerce products and call those in on a Cloudpage? Data extensions solve it all.

Cons

Layout clarity and user experience. It has gotten better, but integral functionality is still hidden in different buckets so that it's hard to find from the SFMC homepage.

Pros

What do I like most about this software? EVERYTHING! The platform allows you to manage multiple things in an organized and clear manner. Highly recommended for developing marketing plans, achieving marketing goals, and managing teams.

Cons

It will require some sort of training, whether through your company or from training courses online to fully understand how everything works. It’s possible to learn on your own, however you will definitely catch useful things in a training course.

Not the best choice

Reviewed 10 months ago

Support was unable to address product gaps, product was cumbersome and never well received by any of our team, and constantly performed slowly.

Pros

Can't say I particularly liked anything about Salesforce marketing cloud other than the fact it somewhat integrates with an existing Salesforce instance.

Cons

Unfortunately, the product is a solution that really only makes sense if you have an existing dependency on Salesforce. In terms of using marketing cloud for marketing communication, or any kind of communication, it really falls short. The product is very complicated when compared to competitors that cost less and offer more seamless functionality. We ended up switching to another product because the product had a huge learning curve and required work around to perform pretty basic tasks. There are 4-6 steps to accomplish what other products do in half the steps.

Reviewed 5 years ago

I would recommend any company seeking a marketing solution check this one out and consider not only where the company is now with marketing, but where their company would like to be in the next year and 5-10 years and base decisions on that. Upfront costs for these lesser solutions may be appealing at first, but it doesn't take long to realize the short comings of such applications and that the money could have been spent more wisely on something as polished and robust as the Salesforce Marketing Cloud solution.

Pros

Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a very robust marketing system that solves all manner of marketing needs from the simple mailings to complex customer journeys and marketing campaigns.

Cons

The biggest negative I have with Salesforce Marketing Cloud is the price. Companies often feel their marketing needs are not to the level that this application can provide and struggle to justify the cost. Unfortunately, this causes companies to go with a lesser solution because upfront costs appear to be less, even though in the long run they end up costing more.

Recommended 100% as long as the pricetag doesn't scare you away

Reviewed 4 years ago

My experience is positive overall. Once you get over the sticker shock you find the most comprehensive and capable CRM available.

Pros

The customization SalesForce Marketing cloud offers is incredible. The features and capabilities are second to none.

Cons

The cost is a problem, especially considered the unseen cost of contracting 3rd party developers to help you get the most out of the product.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement

Best Marketing Automation tool if you are using Salesforce CRM

Reviewed 4 years ago

The insights Pardot provides to the Sales team is great. Automating prospecting and follow up that traditionally the Sales team would be responsible at the top of the funnel helps free up time for your team to focus on closing deals.

Pros

Pardot is a robust marketing tool and its integration with the sales cloud functionality of Salesforce make this the best Marketing Automation tool for companies using Salesforce CRM.

Cons

The functionality is not quite as robust as Marketo or Eloqua. While its improving all the time make sure to vet out that it has the features you need.

Simplest Product to Plug and Play

Reviewed a year ago

Pardot did what we needed it to do and not much more. We were happy with the product.

Pros

Pardot and Salesforce Sales Cloud work really well together and it seems like Salesforce is starting to invest more resources into the product which mean more added features like those in Marketing Cloud.

Cons

It's definitely behind in terms of feature set. The campaign flows are pretty basic and there's not much ability to customize or AB test email flows.

My overall experience with Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (Pardot) has been positive, as it has enabled us to efficiently manage and personalize our marketing efforts, resulting in improved customer engagement and lead generation.

Pros

I really appreciated how Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement (Pardot) allowed me to easily create and automate personalized marketing campaigns that significantly improved our customer engagement and conversion rates.

Cons

I found that the user interface of Salesforce Marketing Cloud (formerly known as Pardot) could be a bit complex and not as intuitive as I would have liked.
