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.

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."
"Salesforce allows for the integration of different data sources."
"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."
"The Journey and CloudPages and automation are all great."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is the reporting engine. Reports are very good and easy to build."
"It is very easy to use from a marketing standpoint."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Salesforce Marketing Cloud are the ease of use of the basic features."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud integrates with multiple systems seamlessly, enabling effective lead management."
 

Cons

"I would like to see support for new social communication tools, and improvements to the web page monitoring capabilities."
"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."
"To improve user experience, there should be clear workflows to assist the user through the setup processes."
"In terms of marketing, I don't think Salesforce invests the same level of intensity in promoting Marketing Cloud...Pricing is a concern and needs improvement, as some customers find the product a bit too expensive."
"Technical support is good but could be faster, maybe more knowledgeable, and more customer friendly."
"The main action I want to do in Salesforce Marketing Cloud is to export data into Excel and use it. My company may have that feature locked down, or if the Excel data exporting function still isn't available in Salesforce Marketing Cloud, that's the feature I want."
"I would like to see more ways to accomplish specific tasks."
"Salesforce could benefit by implementing further integration with more platforms."
"In the SMS area, it is not up to the mark, compared to what has been developed for email."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Considering that we have many tools and components available in this one platform, the price of this product is low."
"This is a low cost solution suited to larger organizations."
"The price is expensive."
"The licensing cost for the solution is on a yearly basis."
"The solution's pricing is very high and should be more flexible for smaller companies."
"This solution is priced in the medium to high price range."
"Its licensing is on an annual basis. Customers are okay with its licensing cost, and they don't find it expensive."
"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."
"Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a highly expensive solution, it needs to be less expensive. We are on an annual license to use the solution."
