Easy to learn because it has quite a lot of documentation

Depending on your business scenarios, you can use it, but the initial knowledge of Java scripts, API integrations, and data management. The tool is not a complex platform if you know about the aforementioned areas. Adobe Campaign has features for creating templates, importing templates, and creating various workflows. We used these features to launch the emails, and everything else features. In our company, we integrated Adobe Campaign with Tealium Customer Data Hub. Tealium Customer Data Hub was useful for sending some information to Adobe Campaign for various email campaigns. Whatever data we received in Adobe Campaign was sent back to the Tealium Customer Data Hub for further segmentation. Adobe Campaign can be integrated with other various platforms as well. I think the tool is easy to learn because Adobe has quite a lot of documentation, which includes a broad range of documentation along with various training portals and training materials. The tool is not that complex. From the functionality perspective, it is a very good tool. The tool's UI seems a bit slow, and since it needs enhancement, I rate it a nine out of ten.

Excellent user experience with ease of use and reliable technical support

When SAP CRM does the maintenance, it can take a long time, which can impact business continuity because we have to wait for the maintenance team to finish their work. Maybe if SAP could establish how you can access the tool using a cloud-based environment that would be virtualization, that would be better.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Analytics was a good part of Adobe Campaign."

"It is a stable solution."

"The tool helps store and manage our data. I don't need to be a pro in SQL, but I can still run queries and get the exact data I want. Some workflows help me get data from any table and send it to any platform without expert SQL knowledge. I can still export complicated data anywhere."

"The solution is stable."

"I have found the sales reporting feature specifically useful as it provides reporting and visualization which helps in decision-making. I use this to understand where to improve, which in-turn, helps generate sales."

"The most valuable feature for me is the flexibility to consolidate the products."

"The solution is easy to use."

"The stability is good."

"SAP CRM is very fast, providing accurate information and good results."

"The platform is highly scalable."

"We are using the HANA Z database for CRM, which enhances the products we are currently using by making the system more efficient. Everything is connected to CRM, so we can use the data for analytics, sales forecasting, and data modeling."

Cons

"The problems we faced with Adobe Campaigns in my company stemmed from the fact that it was very complex software."

"The dashboard is perfect. The UI could be more user-friendly because the buttons are pretty small. Only someone who knows where to find them will easily locate them. New users might have difficulty finding options. Since I've been working with it for a while, I don't have that problem."

"Adobe Campaign needs to improve the UI because it is a bit old. Sometimes, the platform is a bit slow."

"We would like the coding system within this solution to be more straightforward when carrying out general entry tasks."

"I think what needs to be improved is the solution for Brazil's organization."

"There are quite a lot of missing parts in SAP CRM, which is why we do a lot of customization. Not everything is there, and some things need custom coding to cater to specific needs. It is not a plug-and-play solution with standard features, and we have to customize quite a lot."

"The tool's installation on the cloud takes time, but it should be easier. One transaction takes around one to one and a half hours."

"There could be some specific configurable options on the UI level to improve visibility."

"The product is very expensive."

"In terms of stability, there are some latency issues."

"In terms of visibility of the data, there's a very limited set that we have access to and sometimes it's very difficult and not user-friendly to analyze from front end to back end. It's the biggest challenge, even if I'm working with an organization where we've implemented SAP."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is cheaper than Salesforce. It is useful for small banks that want to trigger emails."

"It will be a bit expensive because it is an Adobe product."

"SAP CRM is an expensive product."

"They should reduce the price to target small businesses."

"From the maintenance perspective, SAP CRM is quite expensive compared to cloud services because the current solution they're using is managed by us and we are hosting it on servers. There is the cost of hosting, and managing servers and applications. The overhead is substantial, but this solution is a legacy system. It will take some time for the customer to migrate out of it."

"There is a license required for the solution and most of my clients purchase an annual license."

"The pricing from SAP is good but it takes time to realize the investment."

"We pay for the license yearly."

"SAP CRM costs approximately a couple of thousand a month."

"We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for SAP CRM, which is expensive."
