## Reviews

### "Incredibly Powerful Cloud-Based Marketing Automation Platform" — 5.0/5

> **Jana** | *7 August 2023* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is an extremely adaptable and comprehensive application that provides everything you need to efficiently manage your connections with customers. I liked that I could find out a lot of stuff, like what they were doing online, about the people I was trying to sell to. It gave me a comprehensive understanding of their habits, tastes, and contacts with my company, allowing me to make smarter choices and give superior service. In conclusion, if you're wanting to simplify your sales and marketing operations in a strong and user-friendly method, this CRM system is what you need.
> 
> **Cons**: It is always frustrating how long it takes for an email activity to load in Journey Builder. Sometimes the platform will indicate that you have been idle even if you have been working on it continuously.
> 
> Using Marketing Cloud, we can simply keep tabs on all of our social media profiles, Facebook updates, and email automation tools. Even if this platform is already a part of our website, it integrates with the services of other companies and applications with relative ease. Despite the fact that Marketing Cloud has an email solution, we continue to rely on Mailchimp to assist with channel management.

I especially love the robust segmentation tools we are able to customize promotions for our customers based on how they shop.

> **Cons**: It’s a solid platform, but it’s not easy to navigate. Automating and integrating it with our e-commerce system needed more help from IT and consultants, generating additional setup costs.
> 
> It has enabled us to go beyond casual campaigns to truly personalized marketing, driving customer engagement and more than doubling our return rates on offers at our primary sales seasons.
