One of the best things that Salesforce Marketing Cloud can do is A/B testing. It sounds so simple, but it's really nice to be able to test subject lines or content on my own parameters and get instant results. I also love that the emails are just HTML, so it's really easy to customize on other platforms and pop in. My team also uses the email list capabilities every day. We are constantly building custom lists that are both dynamic and static, and suppressing people that do not need to receive our communications.Having an email list flow in from our website is HUGE, as we can cultivate a massive public list for outreach.
It is a powerful platform, suitable for large scale, multi channel programs that can work well especially within the Salesforce ecosystem. Extracted value significantelly higher when combined with other Salesforce products
It's a very powerful tool for segmentation, automation and personalisation at scale. Tools like Journey Builder enable sophisticated customer journeys, and the level of data-driven targeting and customisation is strong. When it's been properly set up, it allows for highly effective campaign optimisation and measurable impact across channels.
I think one weakness of the system is that it's a little outdated in looks. I understand that the look is pretty basic as it's up to an individual user to customize what they see and how they see it, but the buttons and layouts look a little old fashioned. The core functionalities are great, but I would like to see a little more on the reporting front from a dashboard perspective. There are some items basically not useable within marketing cloud which are not ideal, so you always have to manually export a report to get the information you want.
Support and account management quality can vary by region, as well as the pricing, so securing a dedicated support model or having a platinum paid support is something to think about from the beginning.
One downside I've experienced with Salesforce Marketing Cloud is that reporting can feel fragmented and not always intuitive, especially when trying to get a clear cross-channel view. It also relies quite heavily on technical support for more advanced setups, which can slow execution. Overall, it's a relatively expensive platform, particularly as you scale features and usage.
