Manage campaigns from start to finish, good integration, and a powerful email template builder
I would like to see support for new social communication tools, and improvements to the web page monitoring capabilities. Improvements can be made to the outbound chat campaigns so that we can include them in marketing campaigns. This would be a new element to use in case email is not good for the client. For example, there are university students who prefer to receive info via their phone, rather than in email. It is possible to do this, but I think it is something that can be improved because social communication networks yield a much better response than the "old" email campaigns.

Targeted email journeys have boosted campaign insight and now need better data access and support
I feel that Salesforce Marketing Cloud can be improved in how the data views are accessed; it would be better to have something more physical. With data extensions, you can view them directly, but for data views, it is very difficult as you can only send it out or load it into data extensions. Improvements can also be made in the connections to different external tools such as Azure or AWS. Customer support can be improved in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, as sometimes it is not clear what the issue is or how to approach solving it, and it also takes time to resolve issues.

Cons

"I would like to see support for new social communication tools, and improvements to the web page monitoring capabilities."
"The majority of my clients are happy, but when it comes to the CDP of Salesforce, the client gets confused. They have no clue that Salesforce has a CDP platform too. If my clients want to go ahead with the same vendor, Salesforce, they get confused about the different marketing suites which are available. There is no clear marketing done for the suites available for the clients, this is where the client is facing the real challenges."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud should include more point-and-click functionality."
"I've noticed on one-to-one leads, the customer objection option is not available."
"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."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud should provide some debugging facilities for every user."
"In a future release, adding end-user personalization would be a benefit."
"The pricing is a bit high."
"Improvements can be made in the processing speed, how information displays, and options for scrolling."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is a license per user."
"Its licensing is on an annual basis. Customers are okay with its licensing cost, and they don't find it expensive."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"The licensing cost for the solution is on a yearly basis."
"It's not cheap, which is why I recommend that you use Marketing Cloud to create automated journeys. If you plan to use Marketing Cloud just to send emails, use another tool."

"Salesforce Marketing Cloud is affordable, considering the significant improvements it brings to our campaign results."
