Find out in this report how the two Marketing Automation solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like that the solution is flexible."
"One feature I like is the user interface. Compared to other tools I've used, it's much more friendly and easy to navigate. Additionally, it offers a wide range of features, which makes tasks like segmenting data much simpler."
"The most valuable features are the Marketo emails, both sending and tracking."
"The main highlights of Marketo are its support structure, the documentation available, and the features mainly related to forms, landing pages, and leads. Although other platforms like Oracle Eloqua have similar features, Marketo's support structure, lead generation, and segmentation features are easier than those of different platforms."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is Smart Campaigns."
"It is a very user-friendly solution. I'm mainly working on Design Studio, which is useful for companies in tracking repeat users. The progressive proofing is also useful. It is not available in other solutions."
"The product has been stable."
"The main feature of Marketo is sending out emails, so that would be the most valuable feature."

"I had an issue while integrating JavaScript with forms. When you embed JavaScript, you can either embed it in a landing page or some other self-contained management system like WordPress. Currently, it provides you access to CSS, where you can customize your form design, but there is no option for JavaScript modification for a particular form. This area needs to be improved where you can integrate JavaScript, and it has the JavaScript functions for that particular form. There are a lot of other areas of improvement. In the design area, they can give us more testing options instead of relying on email testing alone. It would be great if they can provide responsive testing where email clients can be tested within Marketo. It would be also helpful if they can implement some in-built options for users or forms for blocking a generic email ID such as Yahoo or Gmail. Similarly, it would be helpful to have JavaScript features and forms as well as the option to add Google analytics and a header and footer for the landing pages."
"The user experience needs improvement, particularly in terms of ease of use and navigation between projects."
"For the moment, we migrated some of our processes to Marketo and implemented them there. We had some difficulties related to this."
"Marketo's reporting and dashboarding features could be better. Compared to other tools, the visualization options with charts and graphs seem somewhat limited."
"Marketo should give more power to the users for data manipulation."
"Revenue management, attribution, and ABM can all be improved."
"The solution could improve by having a more user-friendly interface."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"The solution should consider adding functionality related to event listening, such as webhooks."
"Reporting is very clunky and not user friendly."
"Eloqua doesn't have built-in features for WhatsApp marketing or SMS functionality."
"There are some things where improvement is needed. For me, it would be great if they integrated a tool like AI configuration capabilities within Eloqua itself."
"This product hasn't kept up to date on features."
"The reporting features should be improved."
