Eloqua has had a positive impact on my company's revenue performance.

What is most valuable?

Powerful, solid platform that enables modern marketers to execute best in class nurture programs, lead scoring and campaigns that drive revenue.

What needs improvement?

Costs a bit more than some of the other providers and there's a bit of a learning curve compared to less powerful Marketing Automation Platforms (MAPs) Some advances features like Eloqua for Sales are at an additional cost.

What other advice do I have?

Eloqua is not only a highly effective MAP, it's backed by a great group of people. Support has dramatically improved, training is more comprehensive and the user community and Topliners are a huge plus compared to other players like Marketo.

We have been using Eloqua for four years and it has revolutionized our credibility as a marketing department with the sales team

Valuable Features:

The best asset of Eloqua is how they have turned their customer and prospect base into a community and branded them as Eloquans. The product itself in the new E10 platform is very intuitive and delivers high end functionality for all members or our team from the creative side, to campaign execution, and lead generation/management.

Room for Improvement:

There are some limitations with the platform in terms of creativity. While you can upload assets to make it easy using the editor for all marketing members to use it, if you are going to upload code it doesn't always translate the best.Overall, we've been very pleased with Eloqua, not only in the delivery of our communications, and setting up automation, but also how it has strengthened our relationship with the sales team due to the ever improving litany of sales enablement tools.The integration to Salesforce allows us to take advantage of three highly valuable sales enablement tools: Prospect Profiler, Discover, and Engage.We have seen tremendous year after year growth of revenue tied to marketing because of campaigns, events, and promotions we have run through Eloqua. Furthermore, they have a great community of users who are helpful and very open to sharing ideas and ways of getting the most out of Eloqua that continue to push the results delivered by the tool set.

I suppose the time has started when contexts relevant marketing, tracking for conversions wisely, re-targeting with improvised strategies for selective rather than all, and educating customer with genuine differentiation with hot button available for customers not just to CIO, should drive the platform to stay on top;

What we need in today's world is smart solutions within few dollars so that those who really need it can leverage the most; Solution leveraging absolute free infrastructure on storage side, on SMTP, mobile messaging and relevant context generation, most likely as paid but available on usage basis; And you should have it in 10-20$ to start with first 1000 customers :-)

Powerful & Intuitive Marketing Automation System

Valuable Features:

Drag-and-drop interface based on HTML5. Easiest WYSIWYG editor for creating landing pages and HTML emails that I've ever seen. Great marketing automation platform for sending a series of emails based a prospects interests and interactions with your company in order to deliver super relevant information to their buying stage. Eloqua has great product support and training.

Room for Improvement:

Eloqua has great integration with Salesforce.com, but I'd love to see a little more of that rolled into a more intuitive UI.
