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.

El CRM por excelencia

Puntos a favor:

Es un software que engloba una gran variedad de herramientas (gestión de e-mailing, redes sociales, páginas CMS, SMS...) para varios canales. Ideal también para hacer análisis detallados, segmentar al target, crear journeys de omnicanalidad, volcar resultados de ventas, compartir datos con otros departamentos, fidelizar y gestionar la relación con los clientes, etc. Para mí, la herramienta fundamental de mi día a día y el mejor programa de CRM que he usado hasta la fecha.

Contras:

No es sencillo de integrar y algunas funcionalidades no son muy intuitivas. Es necesaria mucha práctica o seguir las formaciones virtuales de Salesforce para aprender nuevos usos, optimizar las herramientas y sacarles el máximo partido.

Relaciones de calidad entre las empresas y clientes

Comentarios: El marketing digital ha contribuido de manera exitosa a automatizar y reducir los tiempos, se pueden cerrar negocios más rapidamente, mejora la satisfacción del cliente, permite anticipar las necesidades del cliente, se pueden gestionar las ventas en cualquier lugar y en cualquier momento

Puntos a favor:

Que permite construir relaciones serias y de calidad entre las empresas y sus clientes, esto genera una relacion de confianza. Los análisis que ofrece son súper completos y predictivos

Contras:

Al principio es un poco complejo aprender a utilizarla

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

Comentarios: buena

Puntos a favor:

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

las caídas de sistema cuando hay mucho flujo

El futuro de las estrategias de marketing

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.

Incredibly Powerful Cloud-Based Marketing Automation Platform

Comentarios: Using Marketing Cloud, we can simply keep tabs on all of our social media profiles, Facebook updates, and email automation tools. Even if this platform is already a part of our website, it integrates with the services of other companies and applications with relative ease. Despite the fact that Marketing Cloud has an email solution, we continue to rely on Mailchimp to assist with channel management.

Puntos a favor:

It is an extremely adaptable and comprehensive application that provides everything you need to efficiently manage your connections with customers. I liked that I could find out a lot of stuff, like what they were doing online, about the people I was trying to sell to. It gave me a comprehensive understanding of their habits, tastes, and contacts with my company, allowing me to make smarter choices and give superior service. In conclusion, if you're wanting to simplify your sales and marketing operations in a strong and user-friendly method, this CRM system is what you need.

Contras:

It is always frustrating how long it takes for an email activity to load in Journey Builder. Sometimes the platform will indicate that you have been idle even if you have been working on it continuously.

Expensive and cumbersome with little support

Comentarios: Love what the product is capable of doing. But it takes a significant amount of time and money beyond the cost of the product to set it up and maintain it. I am dissatisfied with the representatives of SF who have zero customer service skills and can’t even answer a question when asked. They are rigid and not willing to work with clients to provide solutions. They just want the contract. I will not be renewing with them.

Puntos a favor:

It’s capabilities once it’s configured which takes a significant amount of time and money by hiring outsourced vendors to help set it up. SF offers little or no support and sends links in response to your questions.

Contras:

They sell the product speaking in terms of monthly payments hen switch it to annual payments when you purchase the product. They do what’s in their best interests not the client’s. They sell you products that you don’t need but you won’t figure that out until you learn how to use them and set them up which takes a few months with the help of a consultant that you must pay for separately because it’s nothing included in the price and the products are not intuitive by any means. You will also need at least one employee dedicated to setting it up and maintaining the program. The very consultant that SF recommended that I hire at an extra fee to set up the program told me that I didn’t need six of the accounts that SF insisted I needed. They simply do not care if you ever use the products or are satisfied with the products until it’s time to renew your contracts. There are too many other alternatives from companies that actually care about having a long term relationship who will sell you what you need now and help you build the platform as you grow. SF has no such interest. I will not be renewing with them.

Top Sales Management Software

Comentarios: Through the use of granular criteria and personalization, we have increased user engagement across all modes of communication, including Email, SMS, WhatsApp, and Push Notifications.

Puntos a favor:

The effectiveness and manageability. You may control automated email sending and collecting contact information for hot leads. Its talents help the company expand by a factor of two. Bringing down the lead time for security matters. Separation of live and dead wires. Automating routine tasks saves time and effort. Boosts the company's growth and revenue.

Contras:

More automated components for plug-and-play building of user journeys would be preferable, as much of Automation Studio as possible must be implemented in SQL, which can get complicated.

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.

Outstanding software in digital marketing

Comentarios: My overall experience on this software is brilliant and i personally refer to my colleague to use it for email marketing.

Puntos a favor:

It is a brilliant software for email marketing, email automation, social media marketing, leads generation, email management and for effective generation of email.

Contras:

I didn't find it any features useless. However, it should be updated with new version.

Marketing in one platform

Puntos a favor:

I liked that this is integrated within the SFDC CRM and i do not have to use a separate platform for managing leads and opportunities with sending email marketing and outreach.

Contras:

i do not have anything i dislike so far, we constantly use this feature

Best product we have ever used

Puntos a favor:

We use SFMC for so many things, but email automations, journey builder, data extensions, content builder are just a few we use daily to make our processes easier. I can set up these items for emails that need to go out far in advance. It has revoluntionized our marketing.

Contras:

No cons, we love Salesforce Marketing Cloud so much!

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.

A complete, effecient, user friendly CRM

Puntos a favor:

- Good customer support- User friendly interface- Comprehensive features

Contras:

- nothing much, the tool is really good

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.

Worked for SFMC and used the platform daily for 2 years (Agency side, in Services)

Comentarios: After moving off of SFMC, I was definitely hurting for the robust nature of personalization and segmentation that was offered through the proprietary Ampscript language, and the full SQL editor to run queries on data extensions. Although I think that it could have been built in a smarter way to execute processing of queries faster, and have a better UX/UI, the power that's available to a slightly more tech savvy marketer is unmatched.

Puntos a favor:

The first email platform I worked on was SFMC. Definitely the strongest features of the platform were the ability to customize so much through the use of Ampscript functions, content areas, and data extensions, as well as the ability to segment and cohort large amounts of user data with the power of having a full on SQL editor to do so.

Contras:

The platform was hacked together on the backend, and whoever headed up product did not do a good job of making the UX/UI cohesive. Extremely slow to execute queries on large data sets, and until they moved it into Automation Studio, there was no way to know when your query finished running, or what the error was if it ran into one. On the UX/UI side, who the heck made the decision that Emails and Data Extensions could be shared across Business Units, but User-Initiated Sends/Queries/Scripts, etc can't? It's not consistent, random items can be shared, while others can't and must be manually copied over to the other Business Unit.
