Pros/Cons
Pros
- I love that I can create great looking emails with such ease. It has made a huge difference in my ability to communicate with my clients and two do connected drip marketing.
- The software is easy to use, it has great pricing and free services to get started. It allows you to see who is engaging in your emails and who is not, great design tools.
- Mailchimp, is an excellent cost effective solution for sending out mass emails to customers. It has great capability for both the tech savvy and non-tech savvy users.
Cons
- Some legit emails get marked as spam. If too many are marked as spam you run the risk of getting your account suspended or at times deleted.
- I was quite frustrated with the fact that I had no assistance at all and it created a bad experience for me as a new user.
- This price is outrageous. Also, they do not give you an option to not pay for the features you do not use.
Pros
- Also, they have pretty good ways to teach you about the fundamentals of the product. I've been using it for only a couple of weeks, but it seems well worth the money and useful.
- The integration with Salesforce is very strong, it provides many opportunities for insight and reporting and it is very helpful in closing the gap between marketing and sales.
- I love the ease of use and the organization Marketo uses, I also love how it is now integrated with so many Adobe services.
Cons
- Their API is very weak and limited. Lack of integration options and lack of support.
- Marketo has been frustrating to use after using other marketing automation tools on the market.
- How can you put a future price increase in a one year contract. Only an idiot would sign this and when pointed out to their "customer service" people, they didn't get the issue.
