Customer Experience Matrix

My own answer boiled down to a perhaps-not-convincing “trust me, they’re really different”, although I’ve addressed the question in depth in the resources section of the Raab Guide Web site. Joe Moloney gave a more detailed answer about limits in Salesforce.com in particular, including lack of CAN-SPAM compliance and limits on mass emails.

In other words, Marketing Studio competes with high-end demand generation systems like Eloqua , Market2Lead and Neolane. Small digression: most business marketing systems are designed around data from a sales automation system such as Salesforce.com. But consumer marketers also need inputs from transaction systems.

Decision Software has remained a small company while Aprimo is most successful in B2B marketing resource management. Of course, Oracle has already made its move by purchasing Market2Lead's intellectual assets. Salesforce.com is the big question and no one would be surprised to see them make an acquisition.

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. But Market2Lead does not provide its own email services.

I would put the lead management automation crop here: Eloqua, Loopfuse, Manticore Technologies, Market2Lead, Marketo, and Vtrenz. We generate, score and manage leads to sales completion and integration with Salesforce.com. But getting back to our category, we are often compared against Eloqua and Manticore.

Small companies don’t have the money to pay for multiple systems and, probably more important, lack the technical resources to integrate them. In addition, most small firms have pretty basic needs, so even the “light” editions of full-featured products like Salesforce.com can be overkill.

4) “Pure play” lead management – this group is lead by Eloqua , but there are a LOT of firms throwing their hat into this ring including Vtrenz, Hubspot, Manticore, Market2Lead, Marketo, LoopFuse, einsof, iHance, Precience, among many others. Smaller firms typically don't have the resource bandwidth to make this rotation feasible either.
