Customer Experience Matrix

NOVEMBER 19, 2008

So far the original list of Eloqua , Vtrenz , Marketo , Manticore Technology and Market2Lead has proven a good set of choices. One wrinkle is that Vtrenz is owned by Silverpop , so Silverpop.com presumably siphons off a great deal of traffic from Vtrenz.com. Based on those conversations, this seems about right.

Of course, Oracle has already made its move by purchasing Market2Lead's intellectual assets. Again, there was already one transaction: Silverpop/Vtrenz in 2007. I had a conversation today with one vendor who argued that success still depends mostly on helping new users get value from their systems.

I’m going to diverge just slightly from my current obsession with usability to talk about a conversation I had today with Marketo President and CEO Phil Fernandez, who previewed the 3.0 release of his flagship product, scheduled for March 3. The changes that Fernandez described seemed good but subtle.

I do recognize that they are the best known vendors in the space (with apologies to Vtrenz , whose identity is somewhat blurred since its purchase by Silverpop ). Active Conversion : I had a chat with president Fred Yee last August although I didn’t publish a detailed review. [I I did publish a real review in July 2009.]

I would put Demandbase here along with firms like Active Conversion, Hubspot, iHance, Leadlander, Sales Genius, and Zoominfo. I would put the lead management automation crop here: Eloqua, Loopfuse, Manticore Technologies, Market2Lead, Marketo, and Vtrenz. I’m sure I forgot a few. Feel free to chime in if I did.

I still think that’s the case, but did revisit the topic recently in a conversation with Ken Rudin, CEO of on-demand business analytics vendor Lucid Era. The question here is whether most demand generation systems ( Eloqua , Vtrenz , Marketo , Market2Lead , Manticore , etc.)

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. Once you have the right people in place, you need to start with a conversation.
