“Exploring SAP Marketing Cloud's Flexibility for Custom Email Creation”

4.0
Sep 24, 2024
we used SAP Marketing Cloud for all our email promotions and LNS, the platform was user-friendly and used to give us the full flexibility to create, edit and create emails according to our preferences, and campaign creation and segmentation list building was easy.

“Great product & service, but needs more development going forward”

3.0
Apr 10, 2021
The product works well overall, but needs more development in order for it to be better integrated with the sales cloud and the business processes. Have had good support from product management and great overall sessions where our ideas have been taken into account and are being worked on, but waiting for the resolution on those. For example, lead transference from the marketing cloud to the sales cloud is currently extremely limited, hence why it has not been fully implemented within our organization, but it is something due to be improved upon this year.

SAP Marketing Cloud (Legacy) Likes & Dislikes

Like

1) Flexibilty: while creating emails it gives full flexibility to create emails according to our requirements, also for segmentation the process of creating segmentation model is userfriendly 2) Segmention Block: Creating a building block for all the segments we use regularly is very handy as I can create building blicks by region, language etc and do not have to select each one while creating the segmentation list 3)Campaign Approvals. it is really helpful to ensure that we are following all the right steps while creating the campaign

Like

It is a flexible product and it is ever growing, offering more opportunities to better digitally manage our marketing. The support we get from our Customer Experience Lead is excellent and our ideas are getting more attention and I can see they are being taken seriously and that SAP wants to deliver the best possible solution

Like

1. It provides organization to perform multi market campaign and discuss their requirements where multiple they can engage multiple customers at a single time frame and achieve goals together. 2. If organization is already intact with other product of SAP, It structural integration with other SAP product provides more streamline data flow and collaboration with other departs or other organization. 3. Advance analytic tools inbuild in this software enable users to analyze their campaign and comment on the results. It help user to take data driven decisions.

Dislike

We do not have the flexibility to create a landing page, while creating a large segmentation model it takes a lot of time to load the count of the list and and it allows us to edit the approved email which basically should not be happening once the email is approved.

Dislike

The limited integration with the sales cloud is making it rather difficult for marketing to prove their worth to the business and to pass data through

Dislike

1. If your customer is not inbuilt with SAP ecosystem, this software would not be the great choice. It is least compatible and flexible with other Marketing platform present in the market. 2.SAP Marketing Cloud provide zero compatibility to social media management feature. Organization often relies on some third-party social media marketing product to meet their need. 3. Any great deal comes with the big cost and SAP being widely accepted product. It is nearly next to impossible for the small business or startups to purchase license of this software.
