Not used other products extensively to comment on this. But Pardot in general is a very intuitive tool. We use it for email nurturing and it does a fantastic job for us.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The customization at each level for nurturing is something we use a lot
What do you dislike most about this product?

Being able to examine numbers is beneficial

What differentiates Salesforce Pardot from other similar products?
We have started sending email newsletters, etc. through Pardot. Now that you can see how much the email was opened, what link was clicked, and what percentage of the email was opened, you can now move on to the story of how to improve the content below. Compared to when I was doing an email newsletter based on the theory of a few results, the number of seminar requests has increased, which is pretty good.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Since the user interface is easy to understand, you can compose and send emails even if you are not that skilled in terms of operation. Since the activity is also known, it is easy to understand user behavior by knowing which page the user who made the query viewed. It also uses the scoring function, and hot users notify sales and approach and nurture online.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Support is exchanged on the basic form, but if the options on the form are difficult to understand if you are an amateur, many words are difficult to understand. Improving the options and providing telephone consultations may be helpful for unskilled users.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It has become possible to acquire numerical values that were difficult to obtain as conventional data, such as the result of e-mail transmission, the extent to which it was read, and the distribution devices, and it has become possible to use it for marketing. It has become possible to set distributions flexibly by attribute, and it has become possible to distribute in a form closer to 1 to 1. For profitability, we recommend that you first build up internal MA knowledge with a simple system and then introduce it as an upgrade.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
