Adobe Campaignemfluence Marketing Platform
Likelihood to Recommend
Multi-Channel Campaign Management: I have found Adobe Campaign to be excellent for managing campaigns across multiple channels, including email, mobile, social media, and web. Its centralized platform allows me to plan, execute, and track campaigns effectively, making it ideal for organizations with diverse marketing channels. For example, when I was running a campaign to promote a new product launch across email, SMS, and social media channels, Adobe Campaign provided me with the tools to orchestrate and track the campaign seamlessly. I could ensure consistent messaging and a cohesive customer experience across different channels.

The reporting feature is not as detailed as we require for our documentation, so we have to organize the results into charts and graphs. For every other component of our social media and digital marketing, emfluence checks all of the boxes.

Pros
  • What we like most about this application is that it provides us with the creation of ads to generate presence and impact on different channels at minimum cost.
  • It has a section where [it] [helps] us determine our preferences in terms of marketing by private messaging and offer a report of actions.
  • It also provides analysis with percentages to determine how many customers actually received our e-mail advertising.

  • The deliverabililty and placement reporting really provide insight as to where/when your message has landed with the end user. The preflight also allows you to make sure you have less chance of hitting the dreaded spam box.
  • We have used the platform many times for RSVPing to events. It is very useful in messaging respondents and sending separate follow ups to those that haven't responded. It also allows us to be able to easily collect check in lists for staff to have at the time the event starts.
  • We use the platform in part of our communication strategy to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. The video link component has added an extra layer of fun to students and staff.
Read full review
Cons
  • It requires administrator rights in order to deploy into an environment.
  • We do not want changes directly in a production environment so deployments are a bottleneck since only a few have access.
  • Performing user audits are difficult or even impossible in certain cases to determine who started/executed/made changes to a workflow.
  • There's no easy way to roll back changes.

  • The email builder is hit and miss. Sometimes it brings in outside code, even when I paste text that matches the format, which loses us time and money.
  • More control of email templates, it feel as if it is over simplified.
  • Reporting lacks some depth in information and tracking specific users.

Despite the shortcomings of user interface and basic troubleshooting difficulty, Neolane is much more robust and delivers better capabilities to our sales and marketing staffs than any other product we have used here or any product our staff members have used at other locations.

Usability
Thanks to this tool we are taking more internal control of the creation and deployment of campaigns with less dependency on an ESP. We can pre-program marketing publications, being able to concentrate on the target audience. It helps me manage email campaigns with real-time tracking.

Support Rating
Although there is a lot of material available on the internet to answer questions, I still feel a lack of commitment and delay in the responses of the support, but as a whole, it leaves nothing to be desired. I believe that, in the great majority, companies sin in the desired support, but we cannot generalize. But this one, in particular, has a wide range of specialists and well-qualified management, but I believe that it is not so bad.

Return on Investment
  • Adobe Campaign has boosted our ROI, with a 700% increase in the last month of using the service. These results are very favorable, and we will continue to use the service.
  • Adobe Campaign makes it easy to calculate the proposed ROI on a monthly basis, as it constantly lets us evaluate and compare the growth of our earnings in relation to previous ones.
Read full review
  • We always have a very high rate of open percentage, which usually lead to more registration. We can track that we can have a large uptick in registrations after certain emails have been sent.
  • The more results we can gather like social media clicks, shares and likes and the email opens we can share with sponsors, the more they will come back as a sponsor and also possibly be more investing in our organization.
