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…

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.

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."
"The most valuable of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is seeing the customer's journey."

Cons

"IMIcampaign's ability to deliver to other countries could be improved."
"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."
"User management could be better."
"In the SMS area, it is not up to the mark, compared to what has been developed for email."
"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."
"The performance is sometimes sluggish, but I think that's to be expected with a heavy CRM tool because they're running reports in real-time on the data that you have entered."
"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."
"Marketing Cloud should change the script language that it uses because it's not good. It's tricky and difficult to develop."
"This solution could be more user-friendly."

"This solution is priced in the medium to high price range."
"The solution is paid for monthly."
