Useful features, produces excellent results, with an easy setup
Some modern Marketo features could be improved. I'm quite good with the filters, and in the admin section, I can build it with many more third parties. This allows me to integrate some additional printers. Issues could be fixed rather than relying on third-party sources. While Marketo lacks a particular feature for calculating formulas, it could be integrated to allow easy calculation on forms. Right now, it only supports a single range of numbers. This feature might already be a default filter in the future. Marketo's lead scoring impacts the sales process, so improvements are possible. In the marketplace, I track campaigns and certificates, however, filter additions are needed. Having some calculated formulas in a default format would enhance functionality. Marketo filters are not very efficient, and timely updates or features could improve this aspect.

Co-branded content has reached partners faster and personalized campaigns have improved engagement
It's fairly easy to implement StructuredWeb within my existing marketing processes, probably a seven or eight on a scale of 1 to 10. Navigating through what they call the small journeys for setting up the marketing campaigns is more complicated; I'd rate that probably a five, as we're just starting some of that process now, and one of the reasons we haven't started until now is that it's quite complicated. The complexity in navigating the setup hasn't affected the speed of launching marketing campaigns significantly; there are some internal processes that contribute. The biggest issue that affected our speed of launching was the content upload process, where certain formats are easy for StructuredWeb to upload, while others take more time and are more manual. StructuredWeb is very focused on partner marketing and certainly competes as a best-of-breed solution. There are other platforms that have elements of what StructuredWeb offers, but from what I've seen, it's very high for a partner marketing-specific platform. The effectiveness of the personalized content delivery in enhancing partner engagement is a very strong component; however, the only criticism we've received from partners is that sometimes our rules about what can be edited on the content are too restrictive for them. They would appreciate seeing us exercise more flexibility and less control. But that's an internal policy issue, not a problem with StructuredWeb. Managing personalized content for different partners within StructuredWeb really comes down to partner size and resources. Larger partners typically use the platform to occasionally co-brand the content and then download it without extensive editing. In contrast, smaller partners, who may not have their own marketing platforms, engage in more extensive editing on the StructuredWeb platform and sometimes deploy from there and sometimes from their own platform. We haven't really utilized the AI assistant for creating and distributing marketing content yet. There are two AI models: one internal and one external, where we haven't launched the external one available to our partners via the platform. The internal one has been experimented with, but due to turnover in staff, those initially trained are no longer with us, so we feel we're back to square one. Additionally, the AI component is somewhat tedious due to our AI council regulations within Imnissa, which has restricted us from using all capabilities from StructuredWeb. I would rate StructuredWeb an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The smart campaign looks quite interesting and useful."
"The main feature of Marketo is sending out emails, so that would be the most valuable feature."
"We are scoring based on behavior without pressure, and it keeps producing excellent results."
"We have a better alignment of sales and marketing."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Smart Campaigns."
"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 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."
"Marketo helps us easily segment and target the appropriate users for the relevant events."
"Consolidating everything in one single tool—StructuredWeb—has allowed us to save costs through the process and solve for lower management costs from our perspective, and also helped us to provide a better experience for our partners because now everything is in the same tool instead of managing two different tools that do not talk to each other easily, improving the experience for partners."
"The best part is that they have these Assistant AI and Edit AI capabilities that truly allow our partners to take our demand gen campaigns and essentially utilize our back-end data to build out accurate claims around our technologies."
"The most glaring benefit I've observed from using StructuredWeb for partner marketing is the ability to get out co-branded materials in a much faster fashion, which keeps our partners engaged."
 

Cons

"Adobe, the parent company, needs to improve on getting more information published to allow users to educate themselves on how to use the solution."
"Some modern Marketo features could be improved."
"Pricing. It is NOT cheap, given the functionality of the product. Feels like I could be paying less."
"I had an issue while integrating JavaScript with forms."
"Changing a campaign in progress (i.e. changing the wait period between emails) is unnecessarily complicated."
"The user interface could be improved."
"Marketo's reporting and dashboarding features could be better. Compared to other tools, the visualization options with charts and graphs seem somewhat limited."
"Marketo should give more power to the users for data manipulation."
"Areas that may have room for improvement include continuing to evolve as AI continues to evolve; the capabilities and the use cases of how AI can be used for partners are areas they are developing."
"To improve the solution, I think the most important change would be expanding the number of files supported for import."
"If anything, it would be the pricing. I get nervous about how many partners will use the service, as it is based on a schedule."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 pricing is not cheap, but it's not that expensive either."
"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."
"Marketo is too expensive for a small-sized company but more affordable for a larger-sized company."
"It is expensive. We have a yearly license."
"Marketo is used a lot because it's cheaper and preferred by many firms."
"The solution is expensive compared to others."
