“Streamlined B2B Campaigns And Efficient Lead Tracking With Some Usability Challenges”

4.0
Dec 9, 2025
Overall, my experience has been really positive. It helps to stay on top of leads and keep track of campaigns. There was a learning curve in the start, especially as we adapted our system for B2B marketing campaigns. Once everything was setup, it helped streamline our marketing efforts and streamline how we collaborate across teams. We use it to send all the relevant sales campaigns to our B2B OTAs who book hotel rooms with us for their own userbase.

“Salesforce Offers Extensive Customisation and Integration but High Costs Deter SMEs”

3.0
Nov 26, 2025
We previously used Salesforce for automation purposes. It seamlessly connects with the already-established Salesforce CRM, allowing for smooth automation which is highly customisable and adaptable for each of our leads' individual needs. With this being said, the price point is very high which was our main driver for switching as a SME.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement Likes & Dislikes

Like

It helps us stay organized and gives us clear insights into how our campaigns are performing. Lead tracking and automation features save a lot of time and make it easier to engage effectively. It helps the team to work more efficiently.

Like

Very high-level customisation, easy to integrate with Salesforce CRM effortlessly, and we had the ability to create complex workflows for niche marketing journeys. This was highly suitable given the fact that we have a huge range of leads from different backgrounds who have completely individualistic requirements.

Like

I like alignment with Salesforce CRM, the automation capabilities for campaigns and advanced lead scoring prioritizes high value opportunities, some strengths are: automated lead nurturing and scoring, seamless Salesforce CRM integration for sales alignment and detailed dashboards for engagement and ROI tracking.

Dislike

What I dislike about this product is the complex automation rules and custom reports which can be time consuming and confusing at times. The interface is not always the easiest to navigate, so figuring out how to set up campaigns or get exact data can be tough for someone new. Some integrations do not always run as smoothly as expected.

Dislike

Our main issue was the price point, it's not particularly realistic for a SME to afford Salesforce Marketing Cloud (or the CRM for that matter) to afford it long term - it is a huge investment. We also found the support team a little harder to reach and support felt a little less personable, likely due to the size/scope of the company.

Dislike

Advanced automation setup can be complex, reporting customization requires training and some features have a steep learning curve for new users, and the weaknesses i found are: complexity in advanced automation workflows, learning curve for new team members and limited out of the box templates for certain campaign types.
