I'm mainly working on Design Studio, which is useful for companies in tracking repeat users. The progressive proofing is also useful. It is not available in other solutions."

Cons
"The notifications and workflow management can be improved in LeadSquared.""The solution can get quite expensive, especially as you add more users."

More LeadSquared Cons →

"Revenue management, attribution, and ABM can all be improved.""Adobe, the parent company, needs to improve on getting more information published to allow users to educate themselves on how to use the solution.""Marketo should give more power to the users for data manipulation.""I had an issue while integrating JavaScript with forms. When you embed JavaScript, you can either embed it in a landing page or some other self-contained management system like WordPress. Currently, it provides you access to CSS, where you can customize your form design, but there is no option for JavaScript modification for a particular form. This area needs to be improved where you can integrate JavaScript, and it has the JavaScript functions for that particular form. There are a lot of other areas of improvement. In the design area, they can give us more testing options instead of relying on email testing alone. It would be great if they can provide responsive testing where email clients can be tested within Marketo. It would be also helpful if they can implement some in-built options for users or forms for blocking a generic email ID such as Yahoo or Gmail. Similarly, it would be helpful to have JavaScript features and forms as well as the option to add Google analytics and a header and footer for the landing pages.""For the moment, we migrated some of our processes to Marketo and implemented them there. We had some difficulties related to this.""The user experience needs improvement, particularly in terms of ease of use and navigation between projects.""Its APIs need to be more flexible because there are some things that are not available in the API.""It could be more scalable."
