Pathfactory team is very hands on. They make sure that all our needs are addressed, requests are taken into consideration (and they make good progress in granting most of requests), and that they are on top of everything. They are so proactive in setting weekly calls to make sure that we maximize the tool and that we have no concerns at all.
PathFactory is an excellent tool for creating tailor-made content journeys for targeted campaigns. Beyond the clear use cases for a tool like PathFactory, the ease of use is exceptional.
Pros
Ease of use.
Friendly & helpful support team.
Cons
The ability to create a truly custom page still lacks.
Likelihood to Recommend
Targeted sales/marketing campaigns, getting web pages up quickly without the help of an experienced web developer.
From a marketing prospective, we used PF as a content library housing external facing assets such as flyers, whitepapers, thought leadership articles.
Pros
Organized view of content assets
Ability to promote similar content for users to continue their journey
Great tracking on time users spend in particular content sets
Cons
easier ways to share both static documents/PDF and videos or webinars on-demand
get details on usage but would appreciate more filtering capabilities by organization and users
Likelihood to Recommend
Best use case was ability to share with our sales team to send a set of content to existing customers and new prospects allowing them to consume as much or as little content as possible. Not so great tool for internal education Thomson Reuters uses a platform called Advisor. I view PF platform as a customer facing tool excellent for content sharing.
It has been an amazing experience in using Pathfactory! It provides a consolidated place for all collaterals. It has been an innovative experience which gives fuel to the creativity of reaching out to our customers enriching the customer experience.

PathFactory is a great tool that we use in email marketing. It allows us to serve up multiple pieces of curated content to our contacts within one interaction. We also love the detailed tracking capabilities - we are able to see how long users viewed our tracks, down the second, so that we can thoughtfully tailor our content selection. We love PathFactory!
Pros
Tracking/reporting
Ease of use
customization
Cons
Organization (sometimes hard to navigate between folders)
Restrictions (it would be nice to be able to "lock" a track so that others can't use it)
Automatic notifications of broken pieces of content (should notify you if a link leads to a 404 error)
Likelihood to Recommend
Best used for email campaigns for known contacts, to serve up multiple pieces of content within 1 interaction Not as great for paid media - contacts get confused when they land on the PathFactory url and not our website's url
PathFactory enables our user journeys to not end after conversions on our main marketing website, offering users more relevant actions to take on the website after they downloaded a written asset. We present them with an enhanced thank you page that requires no code knowledge to set up and publish.
Pros
User journey enhancement
Quick setup once installed
Conversions easy to track on Google Analytics
Cons
Overall design of after-conversion pages could be enhanced
URL paths of after-conversion pages are a bit awkward
Better mobile experience
Likelihood to Recommend
PathFactory helps users enhance user journeys for better marketing and improved conversion rates for B2B. It is easy to set up and it is effective at tracking results after implementation.
We use PathFactory to create a better experience for our visitors, to better track our content to the campaign and business objective level and optimize our content strategy. A mantra around here is why send a single PDF when this allows for a dynamic experience and exposes them to related content or calls to action that would otherwise be missed.
Pros
A well managed content library
Great customer support
Personalized experiences and integrations
Cons
Attribution tracking doesn't always match Google Analytics
Impossible to find out where tracks are being used or if a track has been deleted what dead ends it is causing now
A lot of targeting, form strategy or redirection rules require regex knowledge
Likelihood to Recommend
PathFactory is a robust content engagement tool that really helps us elevate the exposure of not only one piece of content but all related content. The forms strategy also turns every track into an opportunity to convert and learn about their viewing habits, showing us the patterns that create value for our buyers.
PathFactory is the key to content organization. Overall, we have benefited from PathFactory's capabilities by creating content tracks that tell the story of our products and directing our leads to those content tracks to increase their engagement with our content. We have been able to leverage the platform's analytics to identify top-performing content and create rules to accelerate a lead's buying journey based on that engagement.
Pros
Ease of use in the UI to create and customize content tracks.
Creating account based content.
Cons
We need viewer permissions and history so we can have better tracking of who has been working on what and be able to lock certain tracks or content.
I don't really know where they need to improve; maybe they just keep innovating and listening to customers and helping to point out problems we didn't know we had.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you have a lot of content and are having trouble managing the performance metrics, you should definitely look into this solution.
