    Haven't used Salesforce Marketing Cloud much.

    Chose Adobe Campaign
    Adobe Campaign Standard has a lot of segmentation options out of the box and a lot better analytics. Pardot is a lot more listbased, where with Adobe Campaign, you can do complete customized segmentation, such as all permissions in base A who are currently customers of this …

    Chose Adobe Campaign
    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.

    Chose Salesforce Marketing Cloud
    Salesforce Marketing Cloud is intuitive and does what it needs to do. The functions are easy to find, and the automation options work smoothly. You find an intuitive workspace in both HubSpot and Marketo Engage, and the options in these programs look similar to Salesforce Sales …

    Chose Salesforce Marketing Cloud
    Overall, 80 percent of the features and boiler plate and standard across all these tools. Salesforce leads in integrations and global scalability. But lacks in User interface and ease of use.

    Chose Salesforce Marketing Cloud
    Pardot is pretty much on the same level. We chose Pardot because it integrates directly with Salesforce. We already use Contentful for landing pages, so we weren't too worried about using Pardot's builder. I really liked the simplicity of the visual email workflows. Coming …

    Chose Salesforce Marketing Cloud
    As stated earlier, Pardot is definitely the leader in marketing automation. In comparison to other competitors, it's the most expensive, but it provides the most efficient data for larger organizations. While it can be difficult to onboard, the customer service is excellent and …
