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."

"Salesforce Marketing Cloud should provide some debugging facilities for every user."

"Technical support is good but could be faster, maybe more knowledgeable, and more customer friendly."

"There could be easier tools to configure the product and to create landing pages to better handle large data sets."

"Salesforce Marketing Cloud should include more point-and-click functionality."

"The cost is always a concern for anyone using a SaaS product."

"I found that the tool is more complex than expected. It requires a deeper understanding to utilize its capabilities thoroughly."

"Marketing Cloud should change the script language that it uses because it's not good. It's tricky and difficult to develop."

"Query Studio in Salesforce Marketing Cloud needs to be improved because not all queries are supported and we cannot debug the AM Script or SSJS code, which makes code debugging manual."

More Salesforce Marketing Cloud cons

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 has different versions of the solution and some are more suitable for smaller clients. However, Salesforce is expensive."

"It is a license per user."

"The solution is paid for monthly."

"This solution is priced in the medium to high price range."

"Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a highly expensive solution, it needs to be less expensive. We are on an annual license to use the solution."

"We did a yearly license. We negotiated and got a great deal. I don't think we would have gotten far with the regular price, but they negotiated, so it was worth that."

"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."

"Licensing fees are paid on a yearly basis."
