Featured Reviews

Dhivakar I - PeerSpot reviewer
Consultant at Deloitte
Have faced persistent configuration issues and performance delays that slow down large workflows
From a developer's perspective, it could be more open for programming language configurations. It is currently restricted to Groovy scripting. While UI and UX designs are open to JavaScript configurations, there are restrictions on certain functions that can be used. The solution could be enhanced to better serve customers when dealing with complex programs. The customer's websites face issues with loading properly, and response time gets longer when implementing larger workflows. This could be improved to achieve lower response times even with larger workflows involving multiple system integrations and complex architecture. The agent decay capabilities need improvement in future releases. Currently, there are some agent decay configurations available for developers to implement, but this area needs enhancement. Performance issues exist in the Sandbox area. The Sandbox is a trial area for configurations, but if work continues for a long time without publishing, it tends to get corrupted, requiring deletion and rework from the ground up. This has caused significant rework and effort multiple times. Technical support can be challenging to work with. When facing product-related issues or configuration problems, the support experience varies. Sometimes the technical support is knowledgeable and helpful, but often they redirect problems elsewhere and cause delays in resolution.

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.
