"The Journey Builder and the Email Studio features are most valuable.""The most valuable of Salesforce Marketing Cloud is seeing the customer's journey.""Salesforce Marketing Cloud's integrations are seamless since it is a native application.

Cons
"Our infrastructure is set up for an on-premises deployment of this solution and I am concerned that the online deployment that we are moving to will not perform as well as our current on-premises storage systems. It could cause some problems, such as latency delays.""Oracle CRM can improve integration and performance.""Their support could be faster. Like any other solution provider, in some cases, it takes time to get their response, and sometimes, they do not fix the issue in the first round. Therefore, we have to go through another round.""This solution is only available on-premises. It could be improved by offering a cloud/SaaS option which is more scalable.""The data visualization should be better in Oracle CRM.""It’s complex to customize the tool.""The product is not intuitive.""The performance could be better."

"Managing large volumes of data takes too long.""We need a development environment for Marketing Cloud. Currently, there is no development environment for this solution. Other Salesforce products, such as Sales and Service Cloud, have a development environment in which the developers can do some things and then post them in production. Currently, everything happens in the production for Marketing Cloud. There is only one environment, and the developers and the end-users have to work in the same environment, which seems to be challenging. If Salesforce can bring a developer environment for Marketing Cloud, it will be good.""Salesforce Marketing Cloud should include more point-and-click functionality.""The cost is always a concern for anyone using a SaaS product.""I've noticed on one-to-one leads, the customer objection option is not available.""The data extension tools are not very user-friendly.""The general setup and understanding of how to use it can be improved. There should be easier self-service for setting up dashboards. Currently, we have someone setting them up for us. I wish it was easier.""The product could use a little bit of BI in the sense of rule-based building."
