Marketing Creatio vs Marketo comparison

"The elements of Campaigns allow you to automate a marketing activity from start to finish, not requiring human intervention in the process itself."

"The most valuable features are the Marketo emails, both sending and tracking."

"I have a good special setup and a huge NetFlow to the sales channel."

"It's pretty good at handling customization and templates. We can put in different variables, so even someone without coding knowledge can create and develop emails that look good on different browsers."

"The smart campaign looks quite interesting and useful."

"One of the most important things about Marketo is its focus on GDPR compliance. It helps you follow GDPR and CAN-SPAM rules. For example, with Marketo, I won't accidentally target audiences without their consent. Firstly, the Marketo Insights system will highlight new customer segments that I should engage with."

"We are scoring based on behavior without pressure, and it keeps producing excellent results."

"The main highlights of Marketo are its support structure, the documentation available, and the features mainly related to forms, landing pages, and leads. Although other platforms like Oracle Eloqua have similar features, Marketo's support structure, lead generation, and segmentation features are easier than those of different platforms."

"The main feature of Marketo is sending out emails, so that would be the most valuable feature."

"I would like to see support for new social communication tools, and improvements to the web page monitoring capabilities."

"I had an issue while integrating JavaScript with forms. When you embed JavaScript, you can either embed it in a landing page or some other self-contained management system like WordPress. Currently, it provides you access to CSS, where you can customize your form design, but there is no option for JavaScript modification for a particular form. This area needs to be improved where you can integrate JavaScript, and it has the JavaScript functions for that particular form. There are a lot of other areas of improvement. In the design area, they can give us more testing options instead of relying on email testing alone. It would be great if they can provide responsive testing where email clients can be tested within Marketo. It would be also helpful if they can implement some in-built options for users or forms for blocking a generic email ID such as Yahoo or Gmail. Similarly, it would be helpful to have JavaScript features and forms as well as the option to add Google analytics and a header and footer for the landing pages."

"Based on my clients ' comments, there is room for improvement in Marketo. For instance, Oracle's Eloqua had much larger databases than Marketo a few years ago, handling millions of records. Marketo has been catching up but doesn't hold the most extensive possible databases. This is less of an issue for B2B, but for B2C customers, who have millions of records, It also lacks features of HubSpot, which should be incorporated. Marketo could benefit from supporting more extensive databases and incorporating some of HubSpot's features. HubSpot is cheaper, and while Marketo is not the most expensive, it's not the least. They would be a better competitor to HubSpot if their pricing were lower. These products are typically priced per user per month."

"For the moment, we migrated some of our processes to Marketo and implemented them there. We had some difficulties related to this."

"Some modern Marketo features could be improved."

"Marketo should give more power to the users for data manipulation."

"Marketo filters are not very efficient, and timely updates or features could improve this aspect."

"The user interface could be improved."

"One limitation is the user limit. For bigger organizations with large audience sizes exceeding, let's say, 500k, the solution may not be as efficient as larger enterprise platforms like Salesforce or Oracle Eloqua. However, Marketo is one of the best platforms for mid-scale and small-scale organisations."

"Considering that we have many tools and components available in this one platform, the price of this product is low."

"Marketo is used a lot because it's cheaper and preferred by many firms."

"It is expensive. We have a yearly license."

"The initial pricing was excellent, but the pricing for renewals is not as good."

"Marketo's pricing depends on the number of contacts and the level of features you need. Compared to other platforms like Oracle Eloqua and Salesforce Marketing Cloud, Marketo is generally more affordable. Like other platforms, it offers different packages based on your needs."

"The fee for Marketo includes the number of users and the database size. If we ask for a unique feature, it will cost extra."

"I'm not sure about the cost because I don't get into this aspect. Clients normally take care of that. I only know that it is costly, and I don't think there are any additional costs to the licensing."

"The pricing is not cheap, but it's not that expensive either."

"The licensing cost usually depends on the users."
