It is much better in everything: integration, personalization, and automation.

We previously used Pardot so our ability to use more dynamic and smart list building has been a game changer to our marketing efforts.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud doesn't allow for form fill capabilities.
Chose Adobe Marketo Engage
Existing platform at my role, though in comparison to something like SFMC it did not make a huge distinction and I think we get more flexibility out of Marketo since we need an application that was not so bound to a OOB CRM
Chose Adobe Marketo Engage
Marketo was selected before I started this role. I much prefer HubSpot's user-friendly layout and modern functions, email editor, landing page editor, and visual workspaces. It's also a much more searchable tool that's easier to navigate. If I could switch to HubSpot I would …

Better control on data and many options for lead scoring, email optimization is great and tracking email Deliverability is just awesome
Chose Adobe Marketo Engage
Adobe Marketo Engage is more powerful. With the time and money invested it provides more functionality compared to a platform such as Hubspot, which is in some ways easier to use.
Chose Adobe Marketo Engage
Salesforce Lightning Platform
Chose Adobe Marketo Engage
Marketo is the most comprehensive and robust marketing automation platform that I've worked in. It has everything that an organization may need from your standard marketing functions (i.e. email campaigns, landing pages, forms) to automated workflows. One downside is that there …
Chose Adobe Marketo Engage
Marketo provides a more comprehensive marketing automation solution compared to Act-On or Oracle's Eloqua, however, the latter are more user-friendly. Once you've rounded the learning curve with Marketo, it provides many more opportunities for customization, and the level of …

Marketo Web Personalization has better and more flexible personalization options than Acquia Lift.
Foundry ABM
Chose Foundry ABM
Triblio has a different use-case and has been delivering the right solution to us.
Chose Foundry ABM
I tried Terminus at a previous company. They were very expensive and had no business impact for us.
Chose Foundry ABM
We selected Triblio over Demandbase because of the pricing. Demandbase cost a lot more but the feature set from our point of view looked pretty similar.
Chose Foundry ABM
The transparency in the build-out of engagement and intent is better than most competitors. The ability to alter scoring methodology is a primary reason as to why Triblio stood out as compared to those where we had to work with their scoring models out of the box and take as is.
Chose Foundry ABM
As someone on the sales side, I don't know much about these tools' differences. However, I have had a very good experience with Triblio. It seems like it is more robust, and we can gain more information about our website visitors. I believe we picked them because of this reason.
Chose Foundry ABM
Pricing was better, and advertising capabilities were seen as better at the time of evaluation.
Chose Foundry ABM
Far better support, easier UI/UX, and much more strategy involved in our weekly discussions whereas Terminus largely integrated us and then left us to fend for ourselves.
Chose Foundry ABM
Triblio is a much more robust platform in my opinion and also features a more robust ability to enable the sales team and get the data into their hands.
Chose Foundry ABM
Triblio has the best HubSpot integration and their overall features and platform were best suited to us.
Chose Foundry ABM
Honestly, Triblio has the same capabilities as all of the other platforms that I have explored. With their addition of Orchestration that is rolling out, they actually will be pulling ahead of the competition allowing for multi-step automated campaigns. With the ease of use, …
Chose Foundry ABM
Terminus appears to be the cheapest on the surface but with the least amount of capabilities, clunky (lots of manual stuff they have to do on the back end to launch your campaign), very low CTR due to the DSP they use (TradeDesk) which also carries a media upcharge. Terminus …
Chose Foundry ABM
Triblio stacked up very well against their competitors. The pricing is in the ballpark as other solutions, but their ability to cross platforms and expand beyond just one area of specialty is why we chose them. Other solutions may excel in one area, but Triblio performs well …
Chose Foundry ABM
We chose Triblio because they allowed for the greatest customization and optimization of ads and because it was clear that they would deliver the best quality of control, guidance, and support for our ABM program.
Chose Foundry ABM
We choose Triblio for [its] overall combination of tools and pricing. Prelytix has very good intent features, it is very easy to add and monitor keywords, and website activity. However, they have a lack of orchestration capabilities and integrations. The reporting is …
Chose Foundry ABM
Triblio was the better all-around platform and option for us. This was based on support, features, and price.
Chose Foundry ABM
Moving to Triblio has been the best decision I ever made for the betterment of my company. I won’t deny the fact that Triblio also has some flaws but trust me they are so minor that can be easily fixed. I have had the experience of using other competitors or alternatives of …
Chose Foundry ABM
We selected Triblio because of the cost effectiveness and functionalities of the platform.
Chose Foundry ABM
Better performance, greater integration with other systems. Better technical support and less complex programming for our digital equipment.
Chose Foundry ABM
Demandbase for just the base product was way more than I ended up paying for Triblio. If I were to level up Demandbase with all of the various add ons to bring it up to the functionality that Triblio provides it would cost a fortune.

We actually used Terminus and moved away from …
Chose Foundry ABM
We chose Triblio over other tools like Terminus, Demandbase, and Kwanzoo because of Triblio's focus on prospect engagement and delivering data to sales and the ability to orchestrate multi-channel campaigns. We felt that others tools were still more focused on the advertising …
Chose Foundry ABM
Triblio is better than google (for advertising) and unbounce/HubSpot (for landing pages) because of how easily it automated the targeting and personalization process. Page automation happens automatically when contacts are enrolled in specific campaigns. Ad targeting also …
Chose Foundry ABM
Terminus: Sales process was way easier, was not a fan of the AE we worked with at Terminus. Also, their platform itself didn't see as user friendly and intuitive. Since I was going to be the one primarily utilizing the platform, I needed something I knew I could easily learn.

If you are looking to, you're looking to scale up your lead gen work. Adobe Marketo was a very good tool for that. You're looking to deliver leads to a sales team from marketing campaigns. It's a very good tool for that. It runs everything we do on the marketing side and I think a small lead gen team or a very large one could use an equally well.

Triblio is a relatively new platform for us, and it's our first ABM orchestration platform, so feedback is with those caveats. So far, the platform is well suited to targeting & serving ad messaging far more efficiently than we could ever do on our own. Triblio does NOT provide contact information like some "ABM/X" platforms do. Be aware of that. We understand and are OK with it - but some people confuse what an ABM platform should provide, and if you are expecting to have access to specific contact to enrich your targeting - that's not part of what Triblio does.

Pros
  • Adobe Marketo Engage is a great platform for custom email design. The user interface is simple and easy to navigate.
  • With Campaign Optimization, Adobe Marketo Engage allows for real-time adjustments, ensuring my campaigns remain relevant and effective.
  • With Advanced Analytics, Adobe Marketo Engage provides robust marketing data analysis, helping us better understand our campaigns' effectiveness.

  • Their Customer Success team has been super helpful! If I have any questions, they are answered quickly!
  • Being able to integrate data into Salesforce, this is huge for any organization using Salesforce. It's the only way our sales team will ever see it.
  • Creating audiences to target with our campaigns, easy to set up and customize.

Cons
  • Marketo's email editor is basic in comparison to other cheaper alternatives out there.
  • Marketo doesn't work as well in B2C scenarios as it does in B2B. One of the painpoints of this is it's difficult to showcase a selection of product recommendations based on purchase behaviour without a very time consuming workaround. It's manageable if you're only selling a handful of products, but it's inefficient when dealing with a large catalogue.
  • Marketo's form and landing page builder are also behind the times. Perhaps not as bad as the Salesforce Marketing Cloud platform, but for an enterprise company the product should be much better.

  • The ability to separate budgets by dept. currently, you have one pot of money but can set limits based on campaigns. This is fine for a single user but gets messy with multiple users.
  • Campaigns with multiple steps, I do hear this is in the works.
  • It would be nice if each area did not open a new tab, navigating pages within the same page would be nice.

Likelihood to Renew
We're likely to renew for several reasons:
  • Now that it's been implemented, I can't imagine not having marketing automation and the easy interface that Marketo provides to run our campaigns
  • Marketo's community and customer service is fantastic; I know that when I need help, I'll get it
  • Marketo continues to improve the product, so I know that I can expect it to be even more useful in the future

We continue to have a good experience with Triblio, and they continue to deliver value for our money. If they would do a better job with analytics, then it'd be easier for me to tie campaign activities to the bottom line.

Usability
In some aspects, the tool can feel quite clunky in parts. But with the rich feature set it has, it's understandable. There is a lot of room for improvement for the user interface. The system itself doesn't have a slick or modern feel, so the usability could feel nicer to use with these areas considered.
Read full review
We have a cheaper version of Triblio, so we don't have all the bells and whistles. But, this works great for us. It's easy to use and the platform only includes things that we use instead of a handful of features that just slow it down. It looks like a simple version of Google Ads

Reliability and Availability
Marketo provides different way and abilities to connect. If you are having product support or unexplained errors you can get someone on Marketo support 24 hours a day. One of Marketo's greatest assets in my opinion however would be the community. Often times our company is just looking for case success stories from someone else. In the community you can search for problems you are currently facing and see others having the same issue and solutions for those issues. If not, you can pose a question to the whole community and champions of the product and others can chime in to provide suggestions to fix your needs. The community is truly a 24/7 place to get your answers quickly.

The platform has always been available, and the occasional system updates aside, there have been no downtime issues with Triblio. The platform has always been available when I needed it, and campaigns were launched timely

Performance
There are times when it is slightly slow for us, where we sit on a screen waiting for it to load. This could be our internet since we have had the same issue occasionally with other systems, but it is enough to make you crazy.

Triblio pages, campaign performances, and platforms have not slowed us down at all. If anything, Triblio has enhanced how we engage with our target accounts. There has been no speed performance issues, or lag due to system limitations. Triblio tracking on our site has not slowed our page performances significantly, so there has been on effect on speed

Support Rating
On multiple occasions we've had Marketo support (technical and license based) issues. Technical issues were minor and resolved within a day. License based issues (even things encouraged by Marketo for partners, like provisioning another license) took WEEKS. They actually took so long to respond that the client we were working with withdrew from the contract because they were no longer convinced Marketo was capable of supporting their business. As an agency trying to sell the software, you can only explain away so much before they just made us look silly.

If there's one thing Triblio excels at it's their support. We have an account manager that meets with us regularly to discuss any questions or even potential strategies. If we have questions that dive deeper into the software we've had an engineer get on the line with us. They are quick to notify us if bugs occur, and when they're fixed. They are quick to respond to emails as well. We are very supported by their team.

In-Person Training
If you are first time user then the training is perfect, but the advance training is not that effective. After working in Marketo for 5 years there is nothing new to learn. The new tools that Marketo have are expensive and too difficult to use. + I would recommend to learn the basic and use Marketo on the daily bases as you will forget everything in a month if you don't use it.

Online Training
You can get 100% of your training done online. Marketo's community is filled with experts and they list free training videos on marketo.com. They also have user groups in every major city that help you get the most out of your Marketo instance and Marketing Automation in general. It's really easy to pick up this tool and start running on day one.

We had our Account management team online to provide training to the marketing team, ADR team, and the AE team, which was helpful as each team had their own sets of questions and needs from the platform. Having the Triblio experts on the call and knowing that they are available for questions later on was reassuring to everyone in the trainings.

Implementation Rating
1. Have a content marketing plan to run in parallel with the marketing automation installation--you'll need a lot of content to make full use of Marketo's capabilities. 2. Work with sales (and ISRs) to define and document a workflow--build your Marketo installation around how you do business--not figure out how to apply your business to the tools 3. Spend time of data cleaning--both an initial project as well as a strategy for ongoing data management. We found some change manaement issues (no more appending ZZZ to the first name to identify contacts who have left the company, for example, or prohibiting the entry of "info@company.com" email addresses). 4. Find some champions in the sales and ISR teams. You'll have both fans and detractors--work with the fans to build some success stories

Definitely have a dedicated technical team work on the implementation full time with the Triblio team. There are requirements on both ends of the pipe that needs to be done. It is much easier to have both teams work together full time as opposed to part time duty; it would take much longer than doing it all in one shot.

Scalability
As we have grown, Marketo has grown with us. We started with simple single email campaigns and are now doing complex campaigns with multiple emails and tracks that we send a contact to if they take certain actions within our emails. We also have a complex integration with several systems and have the visibility into our marketing activities throughout our organization.

The Triblio platform works fairly reliably since we have implemented it into our instance. There are the occasionally wishes that they have more functionalities, but those are feature requests which can be accommodated in future product enhancements. In terms of flexibility and scalability, we chose Triblio since we wanted to scale our ABM efforts, so that was a big part of our consideration.
