Salesforce Customer Data Platform (CDP) Overview

What is Salesforce Customer Data Platform (CDP)?

Customers today expect more than ever. We know that 1 out of 3 customers will switch from brands they love after just 1 bad experience. Companies need to reimagine how they connect with customers to deliver valuable real-time moments that build loyalty. This is where Data Cloud for Marketing comes in. Data Cloud unifies all your data into a single customer profile. With Data Cloud, you can connect data from any source across marketing, CRM, and every other type of data, giving you a complete picture of each customer. From a single, user-friendly interface, Data Cloud allows marketers to own their audience building with fast, drag-and-drop segmentation, to build, analyze and discover new segments that update based on latest customer actions. Marketers can also leverage Calculated Insights, deriving new metrics like customer lifetime value, propensity to churn, affinities for smarter targeting. AI-driven propensity models like email engagement scoring or custom propensity score builder help identify the right customers to target, or you can bring your own AI models to automate more personalized experiences. Marketers can then use Data Cloud to engage those segments with personalized campaigns, journeys, and real-time moments across email, mobile, advertising, the web, apps, and more.

What do you like best about Salesforce Marketing Cloud Suite?

The Salesforce Marketing Cloud Suite is an extremely potent arsenal of tools that empowers us to seamlessly build hyper personalized, cross-channel marketing campaigns. Being able to segment audiences, build automated workflows and track our messaging in real-time has transformed the way we approach marketing. Syncs with other Salesforce products and provides easy to work data share options which further enrich our understanding of customer behavior. The amount of customization you can do with those services is insane and that is what helps tailor your campaigns to very specific customer needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Salesforce Marketing Cloud Suite?

Onboarding new users to Salesforce Marketing Cloud Suite is challenging due to the intense learning curve. In addition, the user interface is powerful at getting specific data back into your hands but it feels clunky and to use features correctly its assumed you've gone through a boot camp of some sort. Finally, the complexity of the suite sometimes adds problems: degraded system performances and everyday bugs interrupting workflows. In addition, the platform can be quite expensive for smaller businesses or those with restrained marketing budgets. Continuous monitoring and management through a dedicated team also adds to the total expense Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Salesforce Marketing Cloud Suite has solves multiple problems in our marketing operations. One, it allows us to consolidate all our customer data; across different platforms for a complete 360 view of each buyer.

The elaborate analytics and reporting tools yield rich information about campaign performances, enabling us to arrive at data-driven decisions making process thus increasing the scope of bettering our marketing endeavors cumulatively.
