"Powerful Email Marketing and Automation with Some Quirks"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Agentforce Marketing (formerly Salesforce Marketing Cloud)?

Multi-featured email marketing system that includes content management, integration with Salesforce Sales Cloud, and configurable automation. We highly utilize email Journey's to setup campaign's containing multiple emails with business logic for segmentation and personalization. We use this tool often and partner between our Marketing and IT staff to get the most out of it. Customer Support is good with their Enterprise plan. Bulk email is very reliable. We also use a postal mail plug-in from PFL (Printing For Less) enabling email and direct postal mail marketing from a single journey. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Agentforce Marketing (formerly Salesforce Marketing Cloud)?

The software is quirky. Not as easy to use as I would like. It groups functionality into various "studios" (like email studio, mobile studio, web studio, automation studio, etc.) with little commonality in the UI among them. Some functions (like Automation Studio) require some technical expertise (like SQL programming) to get the most out of them. In When adding logic to Journeys (e.g. Decision Splits) you have to be careful to specifically account for blank fields similar to the way you handle null fields in SQL. Sometimes sessions hang and I have to log out and log back in to continue working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful, Data-Driven Marketing Automation for Enterprise Teams"
5/5
What do you like best about Agentforce Marketing (formerly Salesforce Marketing Cloud)?

Based on my background in marketing analytics and data processing, especially my experience at Kantar, I would say I am very likely to recommend Salesforce Marketing Cloud to a friend or colleague.

At Kantar, I worked extensively with complex datasets, survey scripting, validation logic, and statistical analysis. That experience made me value structured data environments, strong segmentation capabilities, and reliable automation. Salesforce Marketing Cloud supports exactly that type of analytical and data driven marketing infrastructure.

In my marketing analyst roles, I also worked on customer behavior analysis, acquisition funnels, multi channel attribution, and A B testing. For organizations operating at scale, Salesforce Marketing Cloud offers the depth needed for personalization, customer journey orchestration, and performance measurement.

From a data and performance marketing perspective, I would confidently recommend it, especially for companies with a mature data strategy that require an integrated and enterprise level solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Agentforce Marketing (formerly Salesforce Marketing Cloud)?

From my analytical and data driven perspective, what I dislike most about Salesforce Marketing Cloud is its complexity.

Given my experience working with structured datasets, scripting, and statistical analysis at Kantar, I appreciate powerful systems, but Salesforce Marketing Cloud can feel overly complicated for teams that do not have strong technical expertise. The learning curve is steep, and without proper onboarding, it can slow down execution instead of improving efficiency.

Another drawback is that customization and integrations often require technical support or specialized knowledge. For marketing teams that want agility and fast experimentation, this can be limiting.

So while I value its depth and enterprise capabilities, I think usability and accessibility could be improved, especially for mid sized teams that need flexibility without heavy technical dependency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Centralized, Automated Customer Engagement with Powerful Targeting"
4/5
What do you like best about Agentforce Marketing (formerly Salesforce Marketing Cloud)?

The best thing about this platform is that it is helping us right from centralising and automating our customer engagement efforts across our multiple channels. Rather than managing separate tools for email, SMS, customer journeys, and audience segmentation, we can personalised campaign right from a single platform. Overall, this platform also helped us in improving our ability to deliver the right message at the right time with the right customer data for better targeting and engagement for our marketing activities. This platform also had a strong data architecture along with an intuitive user design interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Agentforce Marketing (formerly Salesforce Marketing Cloud)?

Some of their disadvantages and challenges, I would say is their complex learning curve where uncertain advanced functions meet SQL knowledge, uncertain advanced scripts like amp is bit technical for non-technical marketers. The initial implementation will be resource-intensive to understand and set up for the individual business requirements. Also, troubleshooting and debugging journeys sometimes require specialist expertise as well, and pricing is also expensive when we are going to add multiple modules in the system.

"A Powerful Tool for Automation and Personalization"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Agentforce Marketing (formerly Salesforce Marketing Cloud)?

What I like best about Agentforce Marketing is the ability to connect customer data, segmentation, automation, and reporting in one platform. It gives marketing teams the tools to create more personalized and strategic customer journeys instead of relying on generic batch-and-blast campaigns.

I also like that it supports both efficiency and smarter decision-making. Teams can automate repetitive work, test and optimize campaigns, and use data to better understand how customers are engaging. When the platform is set up well, it can be a powerful engine for more relevant, timely, and effective marketing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Agentforce Marketing (formerly Salesforce Marketing Cloud)?

What I dislike most about Agentforce Marketing is that the platform can feel overly complex, especially when setup, governance, or documentation is not strong. There is a lot of power in the tool, but that also means teams need clear processes, clean data, and knowledgeable admins to use it effectively.

It can also be difficult for non-technical users to understand how everything connects, which sometimes slows down adoption or makes troubleshooting harder than it should be. The platform is strongest when it is well-maintained, but it can become frustrating quickly when data, permissions, or processes are inconsistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Salesforce Marketing Cloud + Agentforce: Powerful AI That Streamlines Campaigns"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Agentforce Marketing (formerly Salesforce Marketing Cloud)?

As a Senior Email Developer, I’ve worked with a variety of marketing platforms throughout my career, and Salesforce Marketing Cloud has consistently been one of the most powerful and reliable tools I’ve used. With the addition of Agentforce Marketing, the platform has become even more valuable by helping streamline tasks that would normally require significant time and effort.

What I appreciate most is how Agentforce assists with content creation, audience strategy, and campaign optimization while still allowing me to maintain control over the final customer experience. It helps accelerate the planning and execution process, which allows me to focus more on strategy, testing, and creating engaging customer journeys.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud’s robust segmentation, automation, and personalization capabilities make it easy to deliver relevant messaging to the right audience. As someone who develops and manages email campaigns daily, I also value how well the platform integrates data and customer insights to create more meaningful interactions across channels.

The combination of Marketing Cloud and Agentforce has helped improve efficiency, spark new ideas, and support better marketing outcomes. It’s exciting to see AI being used in a way that genuinely enhances the work marketers do every day rather than replacing it. I would highly recommend Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Agentforce Marketing to any organization looking to create more personalized customer experiences and empower their marketing teams to work smarter.

What do you dislike about Agentforce Marketing (formerly Salesforce Marketing Cloud)?

With every platform there are glitches that can happen at random so that’s the only fault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust Marketing Automation with Some Setup Challenges"
4/5
What do you like best about Agentforce Marketing (formerly Salesforce Marketing Cloud)?

I really like the API integration capabilities and customization of the data structures in Agentforce Marketing. The journey builder experience and interface are particularly impressive; it's fast and reliable, and our staff learned it quickly. They can handle complex structures easily through a visual interface, which makes explaining what's happening to non-marketers much easier. The move from Acoustic to Agentforce Marketing was worthwhile because it's more robust and easy to use, with more features and integration options. The SQL query capabilities are cleaner and more advanced, assisting with auditing. Additionally, Marketing Cloud with Shield helps us stay compliant more easily.

What do you dislike about Agentforce Marketing (formerly Salesforce Marketing Cloud)?

Setting up a journey is very disjointed and clunky. It has a lot of points of failure, which means testing is extensive and complex. Streamlining the automations, data creation, content creation, and journey programming into one process in one tab would reduce clicks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Super Intuitive, Powerful Marketing Automation"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Agentforce Marketing (formerly Salesforce Marketing Cloud)?

I use Agentforce Marketing on a daily basis to run complex automations and journeys, and segment customers to ensure everyone's getting the right message. The platform provides a seamless experience with great features and is very intuitive, making it easy to create journeys and understand the logic of pulling in from different data extensions. I love the overall great experience and can't wait to explore more with future updates. The Journey Builder stands out for adding different functionality, including Einstein score engagement, and helps in segmenting paths, building in wait times, and specific criteria. It optimizes reaching customers, ensuring we send the right message at the right time, which definitely aids in conversion and overall customer engagement. The setup was very easy, super intuitive, and it wasn't too complex to import and export whatever we needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Agentforce Marketing (formerly Salesforce Marketing Cloud)?

Right now, I don't think there's too much that's hindering. Better ability to pull in from different data extensions and from different sources. Now with just customers coming in from websites, from mobile, from live events, just easier way to pull them all in and find out where they came from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
