It is suited for larger organisations that have complicated marketing spend calculations. Where marketing spend is simple from a reporting perspective i assume this will be less useful

Although the Analytics part is already available it could be improved. So for now Allocadia is very recommended if you are looking for a data maintenance software but less appropriate as a analysis tool. Ask yourself what is it you are looking for (analysis or controlling) and for which purposes (management level or specialists). The costs are very resonable and an absolute Plus!

Cons
  • Planful does not hold the budget therefore making it very difficult to compare when budgets are moved around
  • Integration of data is not solid and fails
  • The UI still is fiddly, example filter wont work, or when you switch screen views you need to refresh the URL again for it to work

  • The hierarchy of programs/initiatives can be pretty clunky and cumbersome. While it probably works great for larger size, enterprise organizations, it does not always jive with mid size to smaller companies - it can feel very constrained.
  • There is currently no way to create a "flat" organizational structure of users. This can be very limiting for smaller-sized marketing organizations. Although I believe they are addressing this very soon.

I am hesitant to comment on renewal in detail because we haven't been using the system for very long. But I am encouraged by the speed and ease of implementation, and look forward to getting to know the system better.

We purposefully keep up with several technologies so we can give our clients a broad view of the landscape; however, we partner with select software platforms that excite us and excite our clients. Allocadia is not a full-blown MOPS / MRM platform (i.e., workflow, DAM, financials), but their point-of-view on performance management and quality of execution in their platform provides a best-of-breed approach that we are seeing more clients pursue than even two years ago.

Return on Investment
  • At this stage none, we are hoping less resources allocated to managing Planful

  • We have been able to more effectively look at our buys and see how they are performing on an ROI basis. Previously our spend data and leads were in two different places but this has allowed us to combine them.
  • We have only been in the software for five months so I think we will continue to see the ROI impact as we build out reports. Right now we're still trying to find the reports that will help us the most in our optimization.
