Marketing automation systems—from vendors like Eloqua , Marketo , Genoo , Manticore and others—are great tools for moving prospective buyers along the path from interest to desire to action. But they’re just that: tools. Share this on del.icio.us. Post this on Diigo. Share this on Reddit.

This could be a real game-changer in the small business marketing automation landscape. Salesforce.com and Google announced their long-anticipated entry into the marketing automation industry, in the baby-step form of investments in HubSpot. Yet something really bothered me about yesterday’s announcement.

I say this with the fervor of a reformed sinner, since for many years I looked at flow charts as the mark of an advanced marketing automation system. These organizations have marketing operations staff members whose entire job is to set up campaigns. But they get impossibly convoluted once you try to do something complex.

Infusionsoft and Genius.com also rank very highly, but they serve broader markets (small business and salespeople, respectively) so a direct comparison with pure-play demand generation vendors may not be appropriate. Silverpop's figures may also be inflated by its consumer email production business.

This makes sense, since marketers with sophisticated programs will want precise control over this routing.

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. But there are plenty of other options, particularly for marketers with limited budgets.

This involves rights management and content management features that seem arcane but are nevertheless critical when marketing responsibilities are divided by function, channel, region and product organizations. People who need specific features won’t necessarily find them in all products of one group or the other.

2009 was the year in which Marketing Automation really took off. Several new vendors appeared on the market, many existing vendors experienced rapid growth, and Marketing Automation as a term gained popularity among B2B marketers. In this post I want to focus on the trends in Marketing Automation for 2010.

However, many tech buyers visit vendor Web sites many times to learn about and compare products, yet few register or leave evidence of their activity. B2B marketers looking for ways to turn their Web sites into demand generation tools have some new solutions to consider. We too are seeing new entrants jump into this market.

A simple campaign would do this for a single product, offer, customer segment and region, while a complex campaign could involve several of each. Or, more precisely, I excluded functions that are more or less equally easy to use in the different products. For example, every demand generation system provides an editor to create emails.

This isn’t necessarily so terrible, although your negotiating position will be weak and you might have missed another, better product. So, the bottom line is that you really do need to look at product details early in the selection process. But what if all three vendors fail on one detail or another? Now you’re really in trouble.

Over the past few months, I’ve had conversations with “demand generation” software vendors including Eloqua , Vtrenz and Manticore , and been on the receiving end of a drip marketing stream from yet another (Moonray Marketing, lately renamed OfficeAutoPilot ). But it no longer seems to be the focus of their presentations.

While honored, I also find reviewing these solutions confusing because there is a lot of variation in the product presentations and overlap between categories. And it’s not clear to me if lead management automation deserves to be a separate category or to be subsumed as part of the broader marketing platform. Here’s the problem.
