"Excellent Marketing Automation Platform"
5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Marketo Engage?

Adobe support has been excellent in my time using Marketo. They're very responsive and have a robust library of resources and documentation. There is also a great community of users posting questions and helping raise the bar across the industry. Marketo has some out of the box integrations with top platforms like Salesforce & Microsoft Dynamics, but it its also easy to set up for other solutions through APIs or Webhooks.

What do you dislike about Adobe Marketo Engage?

Marketo isn't the easiest to learn at first. There is a lot of technical knowledge you need to develop in order to fully understand how it works, but there are plenty of resources to help you do so. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Time-Saving Email Templates, Needs UI Upgrade"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Marketo Engage?

I really like Adobe Marketo Engage's ability to upload a PDF of an email design and automatically create a customized template. This feature was especially helpful when we switched over from Pardot because we didn't have to manually rebuild all of our commonly used templates such as newsletters and webinar invites. Instead, we could just upload them and it would automatically create those templates, saving us massive amounts of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Marketo Engage?

I think the UI needs a lot of help. It looks incredibly out of date and behind where its competitors are. It also required third-party consultants to set up, which could be due to the complexity of our migration from Pardot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Really powerful but takes time to get used to"
4/5
What do you like best about Adobe Marketo Engage?

For me, the biggest strength is how flexible it becomes once you really get into it. You can build out fairly detailed campaigns and control exactly who receives what and when, which is ideal for more complex marketing setups. The segmentation is strong, and being able to trigger actions based on behaviour makes a noticeable difference.

It also integrates well with CRM systems, which helps keep marketing and sales aligned. We use it heavily to track engagement and campaign performance, and the reporting is solid enough to act on rather than just glance at.

Once everything is set up properly, it scales very well—especially if you’re working across multiple regions or managing several product lines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Marketo Engage?

It’s definitely not the easiest platform to get started with. There’s a noticeable learning curve, and some parts of the UI feel dated or not very intuitive. Even simple tasks can sometimes take longer than you’d expect until you get used to the way everything is set up.

The initial setup can also be fairly involved, especially if you’re integrating it with other systems. In my experience, you either need someone internally who already knows what they’re doing or you’ll want external help to make sure it’s configured properly.

I’ve also found that it can be slow at times, particularly when working with larger datasets or running more complex campaigns. Support is generally okay, but it isn’t always the quickest to respond, depending on the issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Lead Management with Automation"
4/5
What do you like best about Adobe Marketo Engage?

I like the automation of lead information into our list the most. Once we move into campaigns more, the automated emails seem to be a great asset, even though I haven't experienced that much yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Marketo Engage?

It doesn't work well with Arlo (our CRM) for automation processes, so we have to manually download and load it. We had to have our IT team assist with the initial setup because it was more complex than we thought it would be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lots of sync issues between SFDC and Marketo, UX is plain. Customer support is not the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Customization with Room for Governance Improvement"
4/5
What do you like best about Adobe Marketo Engage?

I like that Adobe Marketo Engage is very technical, allowing me to fine-tune things to my liking. It does a great job of customizing to multiple parts of our business. The initial setup was rather easy for us because we had a great Adobe consultant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Marketo Engage?

The Governance model of Partitions and Workspaces is not flexible, I wish we could have role based access within a single partition, but we can't without creating partitions for every country. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
