ROI can give you a good return, if you have the team to leverage it
Pros
- It is able to pull in as many data sources as you would like.
- It is easy to connect data across multiple sources to create segments.
- Forces you to think about your customer lifecycle to get the most out of the software.
Cons
- The interface is improving in recent months but it still has a way to go to catch up to competitors.
- The system seems to be reactionary when building out campaigns instead of more proactive. You can go through the entire campaign setup and forget to check one box at the very start and have to go all the way back to just pull in a piece of personalized data.
- Could use more integrations with marketing softwares.
Return on Investment
- It saved us a bunch of money in getting a higher tier of SFDC. The workflows it allowed us to create (using their staff writing MySQL) saved us having to double our SFDC spend to get workflows.
- It allowed us to easily send emails to people added into SFDC campaigns buy external sales staff which saved time from manual emails.
- The time it took the marketing team to create the campaigns could've been faster.
