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.

Integration challenges impact workflow efficiency
The features of Salesforce Marketing Cloud that I have found most valuable are the Journey Builder and Flow. These capabilities are valuable because they make managing automation easy. Automating customer journeys saves time when scheduling content through every channel, and we can set the automation in advance when planning marketing content. The AI-powered tools such as Salesforce Datorama and Einstein save time and have an impact on marketing strategy decisions for my customers. I have noticed a positive impact from Salesforce Marketing Cloud through customer feedback. For example, a customer mentioned after project completion that it had a significant impact on their marketing team by eliminating the need to hire additional staff for marketing content and planning.

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."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is the ability to sell the products we have made to customers. Overall the solution is very useful for business."
"Email automation is most valuable."
"I think the product's best feature is its analytics, as that's where customers derive value. The second thing is its ease of implementation."
"Email Studio is one of the core parts of Salesforce Marketing Cloud."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its automation. We can integrate data with the Salesforce hub. Its Einstein feature tells us whether our campaigns are on the right track. It also helps with ideas."
"The Journey and CloudPages and automation are all great."
"The automation is great. It saves us a lot of time and it makes us move faster."
"The most valuable of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is seeing the customer's journey."
 

Cons

"I would like to see support for new social communication tools, and improvements to the web page monitoring capabilities."
"The quality of support for this solution has been decreasing over time and the support team are sometimes more focused on closing tickets that resolving issues. Often the support team is not well trained or aware of the new features or products released by Salesforce."
"We have struggled to get resolution of support tickets from the Salesforce team."
"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."
"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 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."
"The customization of Salesforce, a generic CRM software, has room for improvement."
"User management could be better."
"Marketing Cloud should change the script language that it uses because it's not good. It's tricky and difficult to develop."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Considering that we have many tools and components available in this one platform, the price of this product is low."
"The price is expensive."
"The solution is paid for monthly."
"Salesforce has different versions of the solution and some are more suitable for smaller clients. However, Salesforce is expensive."
"We have two types of licensing. We have a yearly license for end users and we have a concurrent login for selling."
"It is a license per user."
"The licensing cost for the solution is on a yearly basis."
"Salesforce is an expensive solution."
"The solution is a bit expensive."
