    Chose Adobe Campaign
    Adobe Campaign is different from these products in that is much more all-encompassing and is able to manage more aspects of a campaign than these more singular-tracked platforms.

    As we tried to centralise the marketing automation platform within the enterprise, Adobe Campaign can plug into several instances of Salesforce.com for lead management queues. All other marketing automation platforms can only plug into one instance of Salesforce.com.

    Adobe Marketo Engage is definitely more powerful than Pardot in most aspects (Pardot is also focused on B2B customers). Adobe Campaign, however, is more flexible and extensible but Adobe Marketo Engage usually fits better for B2B than Adobe Campaign (unless it is a very big B2B …

    I've used Campaign, Pardot, and Salesforce Marketing Cloud in my career along with Marketo, to me Marketo seems like a clear choice and a winner in terms of platform usability, reliability, and capability to customize items. For example, in Pardot, users aren't able to …
