Great bulk upload and two-way SMS
I mainly use IMIcampaign to send SMS messages IMIcampaign's best features are bulk upload and send and the ease of adding customers. Its two-way SMS channel is also valuable. IMIcampaign's ability to deliver to other countries could be improved. It also has a limit of 160 characters on SMS and…

Easy to deploy, stable, and scalable
The encryption and decryption have room for improvement. We need to be confident that the customer's data is secure when shared outside of the organization. I would like to request additional mobile app features that go beyond push notifications. As the mobile development industry continues to advance with new technologies, such as AI components, it is important to consider these advancements when setting up campaigns. Currently, campaigns are scheduled to be sent to customers at a prescribed time, but they may not be relevant to the customer unless they see them as valuable. For example, if I want to run a campaign offering loans, I would need to consider the customer's needs and balance. In the future, I hope Salesforce can incorporate an AI component that utilizes the shared data, rather than just scheduling campaigns.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"IMIcampaign's best features are bulk upload and send and the ease of adding customers."
"Email Studio is one of the core parts of Salesforce Marketing Cloud."
"It's a software-as-a-service solution. Everything is managed centrally from the cloud. As far as I can tell, installation is relatively simple."
"The most valuable feature is the 'Accelerators', which are expert-taught subject matter webinars on items such as personalization of emails and SMS to contacts and prospects."
"Salesforce is constantly evolving and have a good release cycle."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is the reporting engine. Reports are very good and easy to build."
"We use Marketing Cloud for marketing campaigns and engaging customers. It is a business-focused application for a specific area of business, which is acquiring customers."
"We haven't had any issues with integration."
"The automation is great. It saves us a lot of time and it makes us move faster."
 

Cons

"IMIcampaign's ability to deliver to other countries could be improved."
"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."
"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've noticed on one-to-one leads, the customer objection option is not available."
"The data extension tools are not very user-friendly."
"Technical support is good but could be faster, maybe more knowledgeable, and more customer friendly."
"The dashboards should be more intuitive, as there are far too many items on them. You're not always sure what you're looking for."
"Salesforce could benefit by implementing further integration with more platforms."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"IMIcampaign is more expensive than Salesforce Marketing Cloud."
"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."
"This is a low cost solution suited to larger organizations."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
"The solution is paid for monthly."
"It's normal pricing."
"Its licensing is on an annual basis. Customers are okay with its licensing cost, and they don't find it expensive."
"The price is expensive."
"On a scale where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive, I rate the solution an eight out of ten."
