Customer Experience Matrix

OCTOBER 27, 2006

Firms like Eloqua and Vtrenz provide a mix of features—essentially, email and Web campaigns for lead generation and nurturing—that don’t match my usual categories. In fact, I’m starting to think that the hosted firms catering to small and mid-sized businesses are really creating an entirely new category of software.

Here are the questions I asked, with summaries of answers from the five vendors in the current Raab Guide ( Eloqua , Manticore Technology , Market2Lead , Marketo , Vtrenz ) plus two I’ll be adding shortly ( Marketbright and Neolane.) SFDC" stands for Salesforce.com.)

Products including Silverpop Engage B2B (formerly Vtrenz), Market2Lead and Marketbright also let marketers set up small, sequential campaigns and embed them in selection framework. Here is where it’s worth considering the approaches of other vendors.

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 ).

The question here is whether most demand generation systems ( Eloqua , Vtrenz , Marketo , Market2Lead , Manticore , etc.) This came up in last week’s post and the subsequent comments, which I highly recommend that you read. There may be a quiz.) import sales results from CRM systems to measure campaign effectiveness.

Again, there was already one transaction: Silverpop/Vtrenz in 2007. Speaking of small business suppliers, Google and Intuit are long-shot contenders. Email marketing is another obvious adjacent space. The potential margins from marketing automation probably look relatively attractive to email vendors.

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 ). But what really concerns me is that these people are apparently limiting their consideration to just those two products.

And we’ll probably see marketing capabilities added by SaaS vendors in related industries such as email services (early example: Silverpop ’s acquisition of Vtrenz, now Engage B2B) and Web content management (see my reviews of Marqui and SiteCore ).

Pricing starts at $1,500 per month and the company now has more than 150 midmarket and enterprise customers. tags: marketing automation software, Marketo Lead Management 3.0,

I would put the lead management automation crop here: Eloqua, Loopfuse, Manticore Technologies, Market2Lead, Marketo, and Vtrenz. Or disagree with the list…) On the other side, I see solutions more oriented toward marketing and enabling a “pull” model, one focused on letting prospects engage at their own pace.

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. That I’m sure to hear about them since I know I’ve missed adding many to this list.)

Demand generation systems like Vtrenz , Eloqua and Manticore combine email with some Web page creation and analytics. A few of the recent acquisitions (Acxiom Impact / Kefta, Omniture / Touch Clarity, Silverpop / Vtrenz) marry particular pairs of capabilities.
