eTrigue DemandCenter
Considered Both Products
eTrigue
Chose eTrigue
mid range pricing, offered quite a bit like other vendors, but missing some functionality.
Chose eTrigue
None except for salesforce.
Chose eTrigue
As an agency we have experience with several other marketing automation platforms. We support clients that are not using eTrigue DemandCenter-- we'll work with them to create various campaign assets. This said, if our clients want us to also run their marketing automation …
Chose eTrigue
Constant Contact offered now tracking, lead alerts. Marketo wasn't as flexible-- for example not easy to schedule campaigns in advance, to launch in the future. Also liked the interface and the DemandCenter lead alert format more than Marketo.
Chose eTrigue
we talk to users of Marketo and Eloqua and they tell us that both are complex to use and difficult and time consuming to make changes - they also require full time administrators - eTrigue is refreshingly easy to use - does not require a full time administrator - has most of …
Chose eTrigue
eTrigue is more intuitive and easier to use. With Marketo you need extensive training and/or consulting or a dedicated, trained headcount. Eloqua is expensive and even more complex.
Chose eTrigue
Used home grown solutions which were less sophisticated. Evaluated other heavily marketed offerings which were more complex and expensive to implement and use. eTrigue was very easy to implement, easy to adopt and easy on the budget.
Chose eTrigue
We have used batch campaign systems, and relied on partners to run our campaigns previously. With eTrigue we can now run our own campaigns very easily, with little training required, and can change campaigns mid flow based on performance reporting. We have seen a 100% return on …
Chose eTrigue
Ease of use is unparalleled. Marketo is very challenging, too much training required. The integration with WebX or Go To Webinar is 30 pages long. We integrated WebEx with eTrigue in 5 minutes.

Act-On is limited because campaigns must be based on a list. Very inflexible.
Chose eTrigue

Many of the CRM systems meet some of these "must have" criteria. However, among the products in the market today, my experience is that eTrigue Demand Center and, just as importantly, the employees behind the eTrigue product, consistently outperform the competition on every …
Chose eTrigue
eTrigue DemandCenter was easier to use, more visual and intuitive, tons of features and the support team was the best to work with.
Chose eTrigue
eTrigue is far better than other marketing systems we have used because of the drag-n-drop, advanced search, ability to launch campaigns when all assets are not ready, and THE BEST SUPPORT I HAVE EVER USED. We tried Marketo and Pardot, then tested Act-on. With the other …
Chose eTrigue
It is easy to use, and is organized the way that marketers think. That is incredible. Top 2 for sure!
Chose eTrigue
Great value against all the top providers. Performs like the big dogs.
Chose eTrigue
When I first saw DemandCenter I knew it was different. With DemandCenter you "storyboard" your campaign. That one unique feature sets DemandCenter apart from the rest of the market. Consider the "storyboard" as the controlling document to all of your campaigns. From there, you …
Chose eTrigue
Ultimately, we selected eTrigue because of their stellar customer service. We are a small company and it SEEMED that it would be a good fit.
Chose eTrigue
In 2010, we evaluated Marketo and Pardot alongside eTrigue. And eTrigue was considered the 'Cadillac' of MA tools. More recently, we've checked out Eloqua and Hubspot. All of these are more-or-less clones, having all the same core features. Except for HubSpot, which should be …
Chose eTrigue
No comparison. Eloqua is clunky and time consuming. They both have the same features but eTrigue is cleaner, simpler, faster and less expensive. By comparison, Eloqua implementation and training took 2 weeks and an onsite paid consultant. eTrigue implementation and training …

User Testimonials
eTrigue DemandCenter
Likelihood to Recommend
I would not recommend DemandCenter for anyone who doesn't know what they're doing or what they want. That sounds like a no-brainer, but it seems like a huge number of organizations want something to fill that "Marketing Automation" gap, not having the marketing infrastructure in place to support it. That is, a technically savvy person to design complex campaign logic and manage data, good web people for designing landing pages and emails, and content writers & managers & marketing specialists for everything else. Investing in a marketing automation tool does not mean you can exclude these resources - it simply means you can DO MORE with those resources. If you don't know what you want, and want to be babysat through the whole process but don't mind the limitations, you can always go with the MA tool that rhymes with "BubSpot".

Pros
  • Putting prospects in the system from spreadsheets is easy. Contacts can also be automatically brought into eTrigue from your CRM. (If you have Salesforce.)
  • Campaign reports show the actual numbers of prospects at each step of the campaign. The detail behind the number is available just by clicking on it.

Cons
  • I wish they could be able to customize URLs for landing pages for better SEO and branding.
  • Better SEO functionality and ability to customize those options on landing pages would be nice.
  • More useful and better detailed analytics would be nice.

Likelihood to Renew
We rely on this tool. Going forward as we implement new back end architecture we may be forced to change to an integrated platform with our master data management infrastructure, but we will do so kicking and screaming. While marketing gets to make the choice, we will choose eTrigue.

Usability
Having used Marketo, Act-On, and Pardot, eTrigue is MUCH easier to use and easier to train new team members to use.

Implementation Rating
You will need to think about which users you want to have each role, and the features allowed in each role. You should watch the training videos before you get live training. It saved us several hours as they had already answered 90% of our questions.

Alternatives Considered
As an agency we have experience with several other marketing automation platforms. We support clients that are not using eTrigue DemandCenter-- we'll work with them to create various campaign assets. This said, if our clients want us to also run their marketing automation campaigns-- implement the campaigns after the assets are created, we only work in eTrigue as this our platform of choice. Our ability to support the robust and fast-paced needs of our clients requires us to use a platform that they can easily implement and that we can easily work in, make ongoing changes in. eTrigue DemandCenter is the platform that delivers.
