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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The elements of Campaigns allow you to automate a marketing activity from start to finish, not requiring human intervention in the process itself."
"This is a very powerful and scalable solution."
"It is a great solution. I like its stability, scalability, and performance."
"The user interface is easy to use, especially for my staff who use assistive technology."
"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."
"It is easy to use."
"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 ability to automate processes is one of the most valuable features of Salesforce. This sets it part from other systems. We use the journey builder to design a fully automated journey."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Marketing Cloud are the ease of use of the basic features."
 

Cons

"I would like to see support for new social communication tools, and improvements to the web page monitoring capabilities."
"The UA could be better designed for a mobile connection."
"The general setup and understanding of how to use it can be improved. There should be easier self-service for setting up dashboards. Currently, we have someone setting them up for us. I wish it was easier."
"In a future release, adding end-user personalization would be a benefit."
"We have struggled to get resolution of support tickets from the Salesforce team."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud is expensive. The email functionality should be more modern and user-friendly."
"The solution can have a better UI. Salesforce Marketing Cloud should consider making its solution more robust for error handling."
"There could be easier tools to configure the product and to create landing pages to better handle large data sets."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud could improve by having more graphical options because a lot of tables are now only numbers and percentages and data. I prefer graphs, lines, and pie charts. I know there are ways to receive this from Salesforce Marketing Cloud. It doesn't play a huge role in my daily work to invest the time to figure it out. I feel that it would be time wasted. They could make the graphical options easier to find and use in the future."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Considering that we have many tools and components available in this one platform, the price of this product is low."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud is affordable, considering the significant improvements it brings to our campaign results."
"I don't know if my company pays for Salesforce Marketing Cloud monthly or yearly. It's a SaaS, so it's a recurring cost, but I have no information on its price."
"Its licensing is on an annual basis. Customers are okay with its licensing cost, and they don't find it expensive."
"This is a low cost solution suited to larger organizations."
"It's normal pricing."
"We have two types of licensing. We have a yearly license for end users and we have a concurrent login for selling."
"On a scale where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive, I rate the solution an eight out of ten."
"It is a license per user."
