They both have their pros and cons, I feel it depends on the users that the products are targetting, SFMC is has more specialized customizations, Adobe does offer similar but require a higher technical knowledge which is not something that is provided bt the other product

The AJO UI is more intuitive. Oracle Cloud has a lot more functionality and robust capabilities. Marketing Cloud is mature. AJO does not offer a lot of OOTB capabilities.

MailChimp offers more flexibilty but also seems a bit more complicated to use. We did not use it long enough to really get an idea of the positive and negative.

Likelihood to Recommend
If you need enterprise-level flexibility to organize, design, orchestrate, and execute email communications, then Adobe Journey Optimizer is potentially a very well-suited tool. Sending a high volume of emails is easily accomplished, and targeting either a broad or very targeted audience is also relatively easy. Regardless of your specific circumstances, this "best-in-class" option is worth a look.

Works well, relatively easy to use - but lacks some up-to-date and modern features as well as look and feel. The support provided is OK but not world class. It is too bad as APSIS as a company is quite good at inspiring and providing insights into trends in email marketing.

  • provides customized messaging
  • custom actions let different systems and databases be easily integrated
Read full review
  • We have a pre-designed template and pre-build elements and thus it is quite easy to compose nice looking newsletters.
  • Doing split-tests on subject, clicks etc. is quite easy and requires no tech help.
  • Imporing new contacts and adding to the list is straight forward.

Cons
  • It doesn´t keep the last search you sis in the journeys and you have to enter the search parameter every time
  • there is a window of time during the day that the audiences give out errors and you can´t see the estimates
  • I should be able to select STO in campaigns, not only in journeys
  • I should be able to select the email parameters when using campaigns

  • The user interface is not good. Too much scrolling and too many menues to navigate. Half of the pages are updated to a "new" look with the rest still being the (really) old design. This badly needs a make-over.
  • There is no one-click "send reminder to those who did not open". To send reminders, it is nescessary to build a filter a do a new send using the filter. Such a simple and often repeated task should be automated.
  • It is not possible to add a "Why did you leave us?"-page for opt-outs... Really misses this.
  • The statistics are too limited and to difficult to use - mostly due to the UI design as described above.

Usability
Like I said before some things are very friendly user, But the majority of capabilities are very difficult to access and really understand. That´s why there is a need of big groups in order to work with Adobe Journey Optimizer because a few people not would be able to own and know all the Items.

Each of these products represents a legacy solution that has been replaced by AJO. AJO allows for all of these marketing functions to live within a single platfrom. While AJO has a learning curve that is steeper than working with individual vendors, it does allow for a consolidation of knowledge and the underlying data stack, so eventual efficiencies may be realized over time

Return on Investment
  • Multichannel onboarding journey improving the engagement of freshmen in the business, resulting in a decrease in the dropout rate.
  • Separate business of anticipation of receivables from suppliers that used to be manual and now I have connected this entire operation via the S3 connector, less manual work and significant gains in conversions and payments

  • We are still trying to figure out how to use this medium for sales. We have had some success with Black Monday sales, but in general we do not have much response to our emails.
  • We have increases our visibility with our customers by making sure to land in their mailbox regulary with nice looking messages.
