Opiniones de Salesforce Marketing Cloud

Software con gran potencial de automatización y gestion de marketing

Puntos a favor:

La cantidad de herramientas disponibles para poder automatizar y gestionar distintos canales dentro de una estrategia (SMS, email, web, redes sociales). Además tiene un gran poder de segmentación y permite análisis muy detallados.

Contras:

Uno de los puntos negativos es el precio para pequeños negocios. Y el segundo punto negativo, es que es un software bastante complejo de configurar y de manejar, es necesario dedicar bastante tiempo y recursos adicionales con un partner integrador que pueda ayudar a sacar todo el provecho de la herramienta.

El Mejor CRM pata tu marketing empresarial

Comentarios: Buena experiencia en general, si se tienen los conocimientos adecuados se le puede sacar mucho provecho

Puntos a favor:

Tiene una variedad increíble de opciones y herramientas, puedes usarla para casi todo: generar leads, crear flujos de experiencias multicanal, gestionar nuestras redes sociales...y además puedes hacerlo todo en la propia plataforma, lo cual simplifica mucho el proceso. Puedes tener prácticamente todo tu marketing automatizado, lo cual es muy cómodo. Es mucho más "manejable" y fácil de utilizar que otras plataformas similares.

Contras:

A veces, cuando hay mucho volumen se colapsa y tarda en reaccionar o incluso se cae. No es un software barato. Puede ser muy complicado empezar a utilizarla al principio.

Muy satisfactorio

Puntos a favor:

El producto está integrado con el CMS, lo que nos permite compartir información en ambas vías y generar automatismos en base a eventos que ocurren en el CMS (cambio de estado de potenciales, etc).

Contras:

Algunas funcionalidades son complejas de implementar y se necesita la ayuda externa del equipo de Salesforce. El proceso de implementación fue bastante costoso, pero después el mantenimiento es sencillo.

Mi humilde opinion

Comentarios: En general, estoy muy satisfecho con Salesforce Marketing Cloud y no puedo imaginarme tener que depender de varias herramientas para ejecutar las mismas funcionalidades como solía hacer.

Puntos a favor:

Marketing Cloud es una forma estupenda de gestionar fácilmente nuestras cuentas de redes sociales, las publicaciones en Facebook y las soluciones de automatización del correo electrónico. Como esta plataforma está integrada en nuestro sitio web, sigue siendo muy fácil contar con proveedores externos y soluciones de software que se integren en ella. Un ejemplo de ello es que todavía utilizamos Mailchimp para ayudar a gestionar nuestro canal de correo electrónico a pesar de que Marketing Cloud ofrece una solución de correo electrónico como parte de su software..

Contras:

Poca formación a menos que se compre por separado.Puede ser muy abrumador al principio aprender Marketing Cloud en su conjunto.Es caro para las pequeñas empresas; puede llevar mucho tiempo aprender a usarloServicio al cliente poco efectivo

Marketing Cloud el jefe de la automatización

Comentarios: Tras una buena curva de aprendizaje y adaptación, termina siendo una herramienta realmente potente. Desde la gestión de un potencial cliente, el asesoramiento y todo el proceso comercial para terminar la operación; se posee trazabilidad, procesos establecidos y estándares que fácilitan el análisis y la gestión de las tareas diarias operativas.

Puntos a favor:

Es realmente extensa la cantidad de features que tienen. Y al ser un ecosistema muy completo, poseen todo tipo de soluciones, para todos los aspectos del negocio.

Contras:

La mismas features, son las que más dificultan el proceso de implementación, dado que, se tiene que analizar muy detalladamente el negocio, sus procesos y los involucrados.

Algo compleja para usuarios novatos en este tipo de herramientas, pero muy completa

Comentarios: Creo que es una magnífica opción para tener en una sola plataforma todo lo necesario para una correcta gestión de marketing en una empresa, siempre y cuando se pueda asumir el coste de la misma y se esté dispuesto a trabajar para familiarizarse con el uso de ella.

Puntos a favor:

Me ha encantado la facilidad para integrarse con otras soluciones de Salesforce, y la amplia variedad de funcionalidades de marketing digital y automatización, lo que la hace muy versátil y adecuada para empresas de todos los tamaños y sectores.

Contras:

Puede ser difícil para los usuarios novatos dominar todas las funcionalidades y características de la plataforma. Además, el coste puede ser elevado para empresas más pequeñas

Fuerza de ventas

lo que mas me gusta la interfaz ya que es fácil de leer la información.

Excelente programa

Puntos a favor:

Fácil manejo del programa para poder realizar las actividades relacionadas con el

Contras:

Al principio algo difícil pero ya sabiendo usar ya es muy rápido y entendible.

Un destacable software para analizar tu audiencia

Puntos a favor:

Mas alla de la amplia gama de funciones que posee a la hora de consultar como funciona los intereses de tu audiencia, posee la capacidad de poder consultar tus estadisticas en cualquier dispositivo, lo cual mas alla de ser extremadamente abarcativo, lo hace sumamente comodo.

Contras:

Puede ser agobiante la idea de tener que pagarlo en ocasiones, mas dependiendo de tu alcance economico en ciertas instancias.

This tool helps lead creation and marketing analysis

Comentarios: Marketing, customer service, identifying problems, and finding solutions are all key to improving your company. Successfully launching campaigns and promoting products from this vantage point is a huge boon.

Puntos a favor:

The first thing you'll notice is how great the UI is. In all honesty, I have never struggled too much with grasping the system or procedure. The availability of customization options is also excellent.

Contras:

It's on the pricier end of the scale, and getting the complete team up and running is a significant drain on our resources, but other than that, everything seems OK and is the greatest product around.

Marketers can quickly and easily create campaigns, track performance, and measure

Comentarios: I have been using Salesforce Marketing Cloud for a few months now and overall I am very pleased with the software. I find it easy to use and its suite of features has helped me create more effective campaigns and track performance more accurately. The segmentation and personalization tools have allowed me to deliver a tailored experience to my customers, and the detailed analytics reports have helped me measure the success of my efforts. The only downside for me is the cost, but I feel like it is worth it for the features it provides.

Puntos a favor:

The best thing about Salesforce Marketing Cloud is its comprehensive suite of tools and its ability to automate customer interactions. The platform integrates a variety of marketing channels, including email, SMS, social media, and web, making it easy to create and track campaigns. Additionally, its segmentation and personalization features help marketers deliver a tailored experience to customers. Finally, the platform provides detailed performance metrics, allowing marketers to measure and optimize their efforts.

Contras:

One of the drawbacks of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is its cost; the software can be expensive for small businesses. Additionally, the platform can be difficult to learn and requires a lot of time and effort to master all its features. Finally, some users have reported that the software can be slow and unresponsive at times.

Knowledge of customer and company information

Comentarios: It is the basis for activity and project information linked to daily reporting information from customers and employees across the company. All Marketing activities can be quantified, and you can easily understand the bottleneck, the cause and what is happening using the dashboard. In addition, because it can be linked to a wide variety of MAs, it is possible to manage customer data collectively. Employees can also query the information from the smartphone app to check all customer information without wasting time, even when they are away.

Puntos a favor:

It is possible to manage schedules, customers, projects, etc., but it is excellent that it is possible to customize reports and create systems flexibly. The information needed and the management contents differ for each company and center, but I think the service is agile. At first, getting members to enter data is difficult, but as the number of items entered correctly increases, each salesperson's activities become more apparent. Since it has been possible to capture the characteristics of each member, sales productivity has improved in several ways, such as advice on which items to improve and knowledge sharing if things grow.

Contras:

Although bugs occur infrequently, they can temporarily disrupt work because they are irreplaceable and essential tools for the business.

My Salesforce Marketing Cloud review 2023

Puntos a favor:

For me Salesforce Marketing Cloud has wide range of features and capabilities, including:Email Marketing: enables businesses to create, send, and track email campaigns.Mobile Marketing: enables businesses to create and send SMS and push notifications to customers.Social Media Marketing: enables businesses to manage social media accounts, publish content, and engage with customers.Advertising: enables businesses to create and manage advertising campaigns across multiple channels, including social media, search engines, and display networks.So in a nutshell it has all the bells and whistles, i need for my business.

Contras:

For this Salesforce Marketing Cloud product, here are just some of the some issues i and a few others have. Complexity: Salesforce Marketing Cloud is a sophisticated platform that can be challenging to set up and configure, especially for businesses without prior marketing automation experience.Price: Salesforce Marketing Cloud can be expensive, particularly for small and medium-sized businesses. The cost of the platform can increase rapidly as businesses scale up their marketing activities.Technical Skills: i personally believe to take full advantage of Salesforce Marketing Cloud's capabilities, businesses need to have skilled developers and technical personnel who can customize the platform and integrate it with other systems.User Interface: Some members have found the user interface of Salesforce Marketing Cloud to be outdated and less intuitive compared to other modern marketing automation platforms.Support: Some of us have reported difficulty in getting timely and effective support from Salesforce's customer service team.Limited Reporting: Some users have also reported limited reporting and analytics capabilities compared to other marketing automation platforms.It's worth noting that our criticisms are not universal, and many businesses have found Salesforce Marketing Cloud to be an effective and valuable platform for their marketing activities.

SFMC

Comentarios: This is a very serviceable software and will serve it's purpose. It can do a lot, so depending of the size of your organization it might be too much for the cost.

Puntos a favor:

In addition to being able to import a distribution list, this product integrated with our CRM (Recruit) so we were able to send to segregated lists and it showed what emails were sent in Recruit. This made it easier for our reps to see when correspondence went out to their pipelines. It is rather simple to create and distribute emails.

Contras:

Some of the functionality was a bit wonky, and emails viewed differently between various email clients. Line spacing was the biggest thing that varied quite a bit. Everything would look great in SFMC, but when an email was received in Outlook, Mac Mail, or Gmail, all three would display it just a bit differently. Not sure who's problem this is. It also doesn't embed video either. The workaround is to create a screenshot as a graphic, then add a link to it.

If you're a Salesforce user, it's a no brainer

Comentarios: Overall, i'm very satisfied with Salesforce Marketing Cloud and cannot imagine having to rely on multiple tools to execute the same functionalities like I used to

Puntos a favor:

Salesforce Marketing Cloud has been a great all-in-one solution for my team as we previously relied on multiple tools for customer journey management, email campaigns, and analytics, not to mention updating the CRM after. The UX was pretty easy to understand and the platform and the list feature has made pipeline management so much more efficient

Contras:

One of our campaigns bugged and contacts received duplicate emails. When I tried to contact customer service, it was almost impossible to get in touch so we had to figure out the solution internally which took a while. The price is also pretty high if your company is not paying for it

Effective in boosting consumer confidence and gaining new clients and closing more deals.

Comentarios: Salesforce Marketing Cloud improved our communication with new and existing customers, boosting their confidence and ultimately leading to new deals and increased sales.

Puntos a favor:

Salesforce Marketing Cloud simplifies sales funnel tracking, automates processes, and allows for task creation and reminder scheduling for team members. The intuitive reporting features and customizable dashboards enable the management of a lot of data across interconnected databases. Salesforce Marketing Cloud has helped us achieve positive results in attracting and improving relationships with customers. Contact management is efficient, and the customization and ease of use options provide great organization and search capabilities. Call tracking is also efficient, and creating new tasks after each call ensures easy note-sharing and updates with colleagues for efficient follow-up.

Contras:

Although some complications and difficulties have arisen, the good news is that we were able to overcome them quickly. We have encountered errors due to incomplete integration from other applications and issues when adding calendar links to addressed emails for clients.

Great platform with personalization

Puntos a favor:

Salesforce Marketing Cloud integrates seamlessly with Salesforce CRM, providing a comprehensive view of customer interactions across multiple channels and offers advanced segmentation and personalization capabilities, allowing businesses to deliver targeted and relevant content to their customers it also provides a comprehensive platform for multi-channel marketing automation, including email, mobile, social media, and web.

Contras:

Can be expensive for small businesses and startups, as it is primarily designed for enterprise-level businesses, it may have limited integrations with other tools.

Automate Engagement and Optimize Performance

Comentarios: Overall while this is a very expensive tool you can trigger real-time events while customers browse your website and continually adjust their path based on predictive behavior which ultimately increases revenue.

Puntos a favor:

The biggest solution this solved for me was increased productivity with customers across email and advertising. I was also able to utilize the comprehensive customer data, browsing behaviours and purchase history to optimize my business.

Contras:

The cost is the main issue with this tool as well as getting it implemented and set up because of the vast number of features and customization available.

Great marketing software

Comentarios: It was not easy for me to understand the tool, so I think it can be made more simple and user friendly

Puntos a favor:

It enables businesses to create personalized and targeted marketing campaigns, automate email and mobile messaging, and track customer interactions across channels.It allows businesses to execute integrated marketing campaigns across multiple channels, ensuring consistent messaging and optimized customer experiences.

Contras:

The platform's robust capabilities may have a steeper learning curve, and businesses may need to invest in training or consulting to maximize its potential.The pricing structure may not be suitable for small businesses or those with limited marketing budgets. Additionally, additional costs may arise for integrations, support, and add-ons.

Terrible product, terrible support

Puntos a favor:

The personalization options are pretty cool. But when you use them (with AMPscript) the Journey Builder is pretty much useless as Engagement Splits don't work with them.

Contras:

Where to start. - Extremely buggy system. We had multiple issues with the Journey Builder that resulted in a number of our subscribers receiving thousands of emails which put us on the spam list for Gmail. - The Journey Builder is extremely rigid. You have to create new versions if you want to make even the smallest edit. Then you'll likely need to double check every single step because things break super easily. When you update emails that are used in Journeys in Content Builder, you need to go into these Journeys and manually update these emails again to make sure the changes take effect. You can try to solve this with Reference Content but then Engagement Splits don't work because it cannot see the URLs. Same goes for using Dynamic Content. Also, current subscribers in the existing version of a journey cannot be placed into the new version of the journey. Lastly, you can only add subscribers to retargeting audiences but NOT REMOVE them from these retargeting audiences. You'll have to create ANOTHER retargeting audience (for which you have to pay extra) to exclude these in e.g. Facebook. Compare that with a cheap tool like ActiveCampaign and you're just amazed how bad Marketing Cloud is. Especially Journey Builder is the worst app I've ever come across. - The platform is basically not usable without Salesforce CRM. This creates a number of problems, e.g. not being able to simply send a realtime response email when someone fills a form on your website. Also, even though it's the same company, the integration between Salesforce and Marketing Cloud is complex and just basically terrible. - Cloud Pages Smart Capture forms are useless. It doesn't accept people that are already in the data extension that is connected to a particular Smart Capture form but it does not warn you about this in any way. Also, if you use Salesforce as your DoR you can't use Smart Capture forms but are forced to build custom AMPscript code due the ContactID being created in Salesforce (not possible in Marketing Cloud). - As I mentioned above, functions don't work well with each other. This because they just bought a bunch of different companies and tried to tie it together. This also makes it very difficult to navigate as some functions overlap while others are completely incompatible. The system is also very slow. Loading times are not rarely over 10 seconds. This makes working with it daily a true torture. There are numerous other smaller bugs and annoying things that I don't have time for to write down but if I can summerize, if you want your marketing team to be lean, flexible and successful then do yourself a favor and pick any other system.

Marketing Cloud is the optimal integration for our Salesforce-powered website

Comentarios: We love the integration with our current Salesforce Commerce Cloud website and the ability to track everything within and not worry about dozens of different integrations to accomplish the same thing. Because Salesforce is a larger company, you can expect great support, knowledgeable account managers, and constant improvements.
As with any platform, there are things we'd like for it to be able to do, I'm confident that in time, many of those things will become available. And anything that doesn't, we'll continue to use 3rd party integrations.

Puntos a favor:

As with all things SalesForce you can expect nothing but the top level of customer support and options. We currently run a Salesforce website, so the integration is flawless and easy. There's not much additional setup or any big learning curve to start using it. The Marketing Cloud is a great way to easily manage our social media accounts, facebook posting, and email automation solutions. Because this platform is integrated with our website, it's still very easy to have outside vendors and software solutions that integrate with it. An example of that is that we still use Mailchimp to help manage our email channel even though the Marketing Cloud offers an email solution as part of their software.

Contras:

The main disadvantages of using this software are pretty much the same disadvantages of any of the Salesforce platforms and/or integrations. For the uninitiated those are: - Some of the most costly software that accomplishes the same tasks as other platforms - Can be a bit complicated to navigate due to the sheer possibilities + abilities you have using the Salesforce platform. If you understand both the expenses associated with using Salesforce and have people who can either learn it, or teach it, then i'd say there's no other real disadvantages to using it!

A heavy hitter, but work to be done in UX

Comentarios: Despite being somewhat clumsy in real-world use, Marketing Cloud is a powerful, high quality suite for those looking to pursue robust, personalized digital campaigns.

Puntos a favor:

This is an outstanding product for 1:1 engagement with an existing audience. We're still somewhat new to it, but are quickly coming up to speed. Best modules are open APIs, Journey Builder (basically pulls the entire suite together to build repeatable workflows), Audience builder (works hand/glove with Journey Builder), and Mobile Studio. It will take time for us to gather enough behavior and other attribute values to really put this to work. But it has plenty of horsepower and data tools and really get us to advanced personalization and performance analysis.

Contras:

The suite is a set of modules cobbled together via the original product (ExactTarget) and new apps purchased by SFDC (e.g., Social Studio, which as Radian 6). This makes it cumbersome to assemble an entire campaign because you're constantly pinging back and forth through different modules (via a tabbed interface) to get things done. It's probably too late now for a truly unified, campaign-based UI, so it will have to do.

Lots of options, hard to find the one you need

Puntos a favor:

Salesforce is a powerful CRM tool that is widely used in a variety of industries. It has a lot of features and integrates with many other types of software.

Contras:

Data entry can be cumbersome. The system is not intuitive and neither is the layout of screens, though some of that can be customized. When it comes to running reports, there are a lot of pre-built ones, but most of those aren't useful. I usually find myself having to build my own, and that process is cumbersome and not at all intuitive. There are many different types of reports and it's hard to find the one needed to get the data that I seek. Also, it does not do a great job of tracking contacts who are associated with multiple accounts (such as a representative of multiple companies), and there is not a way to show affiliations between multiple accounts (such as divisions of a large company).

Expensive but not worth it

Comentarios: Disappointing. Don't waste your money, there are better tools out there.

Puntos a favor:

This product poses itself as top of class, but that's only in pricing. It is complicated and not marketing friendly. The interface is not userfriendly and the tool does not support multiple brands without a heavy pricetag.

Contras:

The price, the user experience, the lack of multibrand use. When I threatened to take my business elsewhere we had one call with the VP but then he stopped responding to calls and emails.
