Like

Salesforce Marketing Cloud was everything we needed to effectively take our lifecycle marketing programs from zero to hero. Journey Builder was my favorite part of SFMC. We were able to take basic batch & blast emails and build robust user journeys that helped drive substantial revenue growth across the business (via highly personalized communications that met users exactly where they were). Another improvement, was SFMC's ability to track revenue in a really robust way. We coupled that with our seals teams to follow up on leads and saw significant growth on the B2B side of the business as well.

Dislike

Speed of support is slow

Dislike

Complex pricing structure Too Technical: You require thorough knowledge to ensure you can navigate and take certain actions Customization of the tool accordingly is not possible as it is a global platform

Dislike

Implementation was really challenging. We had a unique business case that encompassed an umbrella parent company and 12 sister companies that made the warming / onboarding process onto SFMC across all brands very challenging. Work with an implementation team and do not rush the process.

    Robust Platform for all Your Marketing Needs

    4.0
    Nov 27, 2024
    SFMC is one of the best platforms in the business for retail/e-commerce lifecycle marketing programs. While implementation was very challenging for our business, we reaped the benefits of this transition from our previous platform 10x over in the first 6 months of onboarding. I highly recommend pre-planning well in advance and bringing in an implementation team to help with the transition. SFMC came with a lot of complexities and challenges that our internal teams likely wouldn't have been able to accomplish without the help of an external partner.
