Considered Both Products
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.

PFL Direct Mail Platform
Chose PFL Direct Mail Platform
I was not a part of the evaluation process.
Chose PFL Direct Mail Platform
We selected PFL against Lob largely because of pricing and automation capabilities. We felt the team at PFL had our best interests at heart and could provide the robust automation we were looking for.
Chose PFL Direct Mail Platform
We evaluated Lob. Lob was more complicated and required a separate software agreement to match what PFL was offering. It was also more expensive.
Chose PFL Direct Mail Platform
PFL doesn’t stand a chance against postal & reachdesk, from a new seamless UI, on demand customization based on new logos, customer service, and the ability for customers to enter their own size and address with a link are a few reasons why.
Chose PFL Direct Mail Platform
I have not tried other solutions and honestly, there is no reason to at this point. this is a new tactic we are outsourcing for the first time and still in a trial phase but the results have been solid.
Chose PFL Direct Mail Platform
PFL is the best platform we've used for direct mail and much better than doing things in house
Chose PFL Direct Mail Platform
JourneyMail is one I have evaluated. It did not seem as full featured as PFL Direct Mail Platform, nor did it integrate with the rest of the Salesforce products like PFL Direct Mail Platform (journeymail ONLY integrates to marketing cloud). My customers tend to be cross-cloud …
Chose PFL Direct Mail Platform
ReachDesk is a good solution for one-to-one strategic gifting for sales to utilizing and eGifting solutions, but I do not find it to work as well for one-to-many direct mail marketing campaigns, specifically on triggered, always on Evergreen campaigns and being able to do …
Chose PFL Direct Mail Platform
Unfortunately, we have decided to move away from PFL Hybrid Experience Platform and to Sendoso. In my opinion, the platform is more intuitive, and campaigns are easier to launch. We are able to move around funds instantaneously and get a project set up within a day. This is …
Chose PFL Direct Mail Platform
I have never used anything similar to PFL Hybrid Experience Platform.
Chose PFL Direct Mail Platform
While there is some overlap in services and capabilities, PFL stands out in it's Tactile Automation Platform and customer success/support. They are truly part of our team and we look to them for new ideas, guidance, and opportunities we have not yet thought of internally.

It's a …
Chose PFL Direct Mail Platform
They may not have had all the advanced features we would have wanted, but the price point made it worth using it.
Chose PFL Direct Mail Platform
I've never used any other competitive solutions.

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.

The reason it's not a seven or above is purely because of the timing of a solution we had requested originally back in August 2023. It's now February 2024, and we're waiting for a wow-factor pitch deck. Previously, we only received a demo recording and an order form quote. These truthfully aren't helpful enough to convince and sway our senior leaders into spending the $35k+ investment into the PMC.

Pros
  • 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.

  • Personalization: It allows us to create highly personalized direct mail pieces tailored to individual recipients. For instance, we can include the recipient's name, relevant product recommendations, or even custom images that resonate with their preferences.
  • Multi-Channel Integration: The platform seamlessly integrates with our existing digital marketing tools and CRM systems. It enables us to orchestrate cohesive campaigns that combine email, social media, and direct mail to reach our target audience through multiple touchpoints.
  • Automated Workflows: PFL offers robust automation capabilities, streamlining the entire direct mail process. We can set triggers, such as website visits or email engagement, to automatically trigger the sending of personalized direct mail pieces, ensuring timely and relevant outreach.
  • Variable Data Printing: The platform simplifies variable data printing, enabling us to print custom content for each recipient efficiently. This is particularly useful for A/B testing different messaging or designs within a single campaign.

Cons
  • 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.

  • There is no built-in functionality to automate direct mail; this has to be created through triggers in Salesforce.
  • The sales cloud integration didn't give us the syncing or reporting we thought would be available.
  • We would like to see more support from team members in the post-onboarding process.

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.

I will continue to use the platform as long as my employer provides access, but I do not have purchasing power myself.

Usability
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

The UI is friendly, clear, and accessible, and I access it directly through the interface (Salesforce) that I perform my function in every day. It is intuitive to navigate, and I am able to find most functionalities I need without the need to consult an admin and/or support teams.

Reliability and Availability

Performance
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
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.

Only thing holding me back from a perfect 10 would be the timelines for involving the technical team on occasion. There have been a few times where the PFL technical support team has been booked up for days or more than a week out which can delay our project timelines. This doesn't happen often, let me be clear. But when it does, it's usually at the worst time for our campaigns.

Online Training
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
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.

JourneyMail is one I have evaluated. It did not seem as full featured as PFL Direct Mail Platform, nor did it integrate with the rest of the Salesforce products like PFL Direct Mail Platform (journeymail ONLY integrates to marketing cloud). My customers tend to be cross-cloud and own multiple products and want solutions that can integrate across their stack easily.

Scalability
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.

It does take a while to launch or re-launch a campaign, which can make it difficult to pivot quickly. However, if you're integrated with Marketo, then PFL is as scalable as your database and marketing strategy! The sky is the limit in terms of creativity. Post launch, the program is hands-off apart from report monitoring and potential optimization tweaks.
