Features of Salesforce Marketing Cloud
Reviews of Salesforce Marketing Cloud
Incredibly Powerful Cloud-Based Marketing Automation Platform
Comments: Using Marketing Cloud, we can simply keep tabs on all of our social media profiles, Facebook updates, and email automation tools. Even if this platform is already a part of our website, it integrates with the services of other companies and applications with relative ease. Despite the fact that Marketing Cloud has an email solution, we continue to rely on Mailchimp to assist with channel management.
Pros:
It is an extremely adaptable and comprehensive application that provides everything you need to efficiently manage your connections with customers. I liked that I could find out a lot of stuff, like what they were doing online, about the people I was trying to sell to. It gave me a comprehensive understanding of their habits, tastes, and contacts with my company, allowing me to make smarter choices and give superior service. In conclusion, if you're wanting to simplify your sales and marketing operations in a strong and user-friendly method, this CRM system is what you need.
Cons:
It is always frustrating how long it takes for an email activity to load in Journey Builder. Sometimes the platform will indicate that you have been idle even if you have been working on it continuously.
SFMC is a great tool!
Comments: Overall the experience is great. Support is great and quick and it works great for more complex campaigns.
Pros:
The best features of SFMC is the integration with SFDC and the flexibility in creating audiences. It allows us to use SQL to build audiences in a very data driven manner vs a drag and drop (which SFMC does have) feature to create lists.
Cons:
The speed for SFMC can sometimes be questionable. Some days it moves faster than others. The other feature that tends to be frustrating is the speed or actions when having multiple splits in their journey builder.
Powerful tool but a steep learning curve
Pros:
The platform’s ability to segment audiences and automate marketing workflows is pretty powerful, allowing for precise targeting and engagement across email, social media, and SMS. Its integration with Salesforce CRM also makes it easy to pull insights into customer behavior and preferences.
Cons:
Navigating through its interface and setting up campaigns can be time-consuming, especially without prior experience or adequate training. Additionally, some tasks that should be straightforward, like creating email templates or setting up automation workflows, can be a bit cumbersome due to the number of steps involved.
