The platform handles email automation, lead scoring, segmentation, ...Read more

Pardot

What do you like best? Using A/B testing for list emails, engagement studio, lead scoring and the easy integration with salesforce. What do you dislike? Email templates are not very easy to use. You can’t drag and drop and buttons are not available, this causes me to use a different template builder for my emails. What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? More leads and better conversions for sales.

Good tool for marketing automation!

What do you like best? I'm a relatively new user, but I like how you can create custom drip and nurture campaigns to help your marketing efforts. We've also integrated custom forms from our website that help with our lead generation activities. It's easy to track where they came from, what they're interested in, and follow-up steps. What do you dislike? It doesn't have the easiest interface and requires a lot of Googling... "how do I do xyz"? We need to do a lot of 3rd party ...

Good Email Marketing tool but expensive and restrictive

What do you like best? Good integration with Salesforce to market to prospects. What do you dislike? I don't like the fact I have to manually add contacts to Pardot and then select the list they get added to. Also bulk selecting a bunch of people and adding them to a campaign, you have to go to that campaign and manually add the people to the Pardot list. If you archive any members in Pardot to free up slots, the user experience of knowing if a contact/lead is in Pardot or not, it ...

What do you like best? Email marketing and scoring capabilities What do you dislike? They have billing issues - our account was shut down twice because their accounting couldn't find our payments. They are also slow to respond so it took days to get the account back online. Recommendations to others considering the product Evaluate alternatives What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Pardot allows you to fully automate all email ...
