There are different platforms similar to Callidus Cloud Marketing Automation like Hubspot and Marketo, I would not be in a position to suggest any other because we haven't used other platforms.
Chose CallidusCloud LeadRocket (discontinued)
Callidus and Marketo are polar opposites when it comes to customer service. There was no way of getting immediate assistance with Marketo. There were times where a response would come a couple days later or not at all as you could not speak to a live representative at any time. …

Pardot is within the Salesforce CRM, so solves many issues for us as far as our employees seeing direct results. Genius is more suited for the larger, enterprise company, whereas Genius is better for a smaller team. Both are extremely efficient, just target a different business …

Manticore is slightly better, simply because it kind of worked as opposed to not working at all. Pardot is great.
Chose CallidusCloud LeadRocket (discontinued)
LeadFormix is cheaper, claims Netsuite integration, and boasts high deliverability. Two of these three claims is true based on our first two months using LeadFormix.

Likelihood to Recommend
Genius is well-suited for a smaller company looking to do one-off campaigns and not necessarily needing to track within a separate system. For example, the professional version of Salesforce is probably an ideal size for Genius. For a more enterprise/larger company I wouldn't suggest Genius be used.

Emarsys is highly recommended to every new or old organization for planned and well-managed marketing. If you want to reach the maximum market chains or to keep your data under highly confidential supervision or if you want many clients for your product or services, then Emarsys is the best option of all.

Pros
  • I like the simplicity of the program. Each step is laid out and self-explanatory for creating an email campaign which makes the process extremely easy.
  • I like how LeadFormix provides you with different reports to look at. The information is helpful to see how well your campaign is doing with whatever the target audience it is.
  • I also love that I can store a number of different email campaigns that I've done in the past to use as a template for additional projects I have.

  • The CRM functionality is a great tool for adding in targeted paid advertising campaigns to complement email campaigns.
  • The ability to segment contacts and create custom lists allows us to send hyper-targeted email campaigns that deliver more efficient and effective results.

Cons
  • It just didn't work
  • We would schedule email blasts and it says it sent but they never did
  • Simple math on the metrics was wrong sometimes
  • UI was buggy, WYSIWYG editor barely worked and was a pain to deal with
  • Bugs all over

  • Customer service mostly directs you to help center on website
  • You have to pay extra for training
  • You have to pay extra for reporting in which the system cannot provide
  • Lengthy contract with a high price tag

This is the program of choice for my company. There may be more effective email marketing services out there, but I also recognize that other teams in my company (who use the website lead tracking services) are most happy with LeadFormix. Furthermore, this program is more cost effective for us than others would be.

On the other hand, mail chimp did not provide the level of integration needed with our CRM - Salesforce. We need to be able to connect the response to an email campaign to the individual contact (student) record and determine the success of the campaign.
