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.

Market2Lead had something similar but is no longer sold.) However, Marketo's implementation brings this reporting to a new level.

Market2Lead offers the usual list of demand generation functions: outbound email, Web forms and landing pages, automated lead nurturing, integration with sales, and campaign return on investment analysis. This is not to say that Market2Lead is especially hard to use.
