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

We made the decision to switch from Mailchimp to Maropost because we felt that we were outgrowing mailchimp. I regret that decision. Mailchimp may be somewhat limited, but the service always delivered what it claimed it would deliver, and after months of dealing with …

Maropost is most closely related to iContact in that it's main purpose is to send e-mail. iContact is less expensive, but it inbox deliverability and open rate are less than half that of Maropost's. Also, Maropost has more automated list management features, which makes it more …

Klaviyo has much faster segmentation, better segmentation rules and is much more suited for ecommerce brands.
Chose Maropost Marketing Cloud
Maropost had everything we needed and more. We loved that fact that one price covered everything. As we move forward we don't have to go back and purchase modules that we are now ready for. No one wants to go back to management and ask for more money.

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.

It's a perfect fit for medium to high volume email senders who want an easy-to-use email builder and marketing campaign planner.

  • Support: we were given a go to support person who is basically an account executive who oversaw our progress and was there to assist us with whatever we may need.
  • Email open rates and testing abilities: Maropost supplies an array of different ways you can test to make sure you are getting the best opens and CTR's you can.

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 Sales Department shouldn't promise the customer what support can't deliver on.
  • They should also brush up on some ethics courses. It's appalling to me how they conduct business. Buyer beware.

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.

Though relatively responsive, the responses were always utterly unhelpful and sometime not even relevant to the questions we asked. It quickly became apparent that it was outsourced copy/paste support.

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

Maropost is most closely related to iContact in that it's main purpose is to send e-mail. iContact is less expensive, but it inbox deliverability and open rate are less than half that of Maropost's. Also, Maropost has more automated list management features, which makes it more efficient. Maropost is a far better e-mail service provider than Infusionsoft, but it can't replace Infusionsoft. Infusionsoft's marketing automation capabilities are leaps and bounds ahead of Maropost. In our organization, we use both of these software side by side. Infusionsoft manages all of our marketing automation and Maropost is used for any e-mail blasts to our list.

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
