This is a bit perplexing, since those products are at the opposite ends of the spectrum: Marketo being relatively low cost / limited functionality / easier to learn, and Eloqua being higher cost / richer functionality / takes more training. Marketo is certainly a fine product, but marketers should still look around before picking it by default. It shouldn't be hard to figure out which one suits you better.

The leaders among demand generation systems are still Eloqua , Silverpop and Marketo. The only important exception is LoopFuse , which I have deferred at the company's request. Summary: Based on Web traffic rankings, new demand generation vendors with low prices are gaining market presence. Pardot and (perhaps) Genius.com look particularly strong.

My inner database geek was excited to learn that the company uses a version of the columnar database originally developed by Broadbase (later merged with Kana ), which is now open source LucidDB.
