MarcomCentral vs eTrigue

MarcomCentral did exactly what we expected. It helped us automate our design and printing process by creating templates that took the place of our one-off designs. We were at a point where every business card, in a corporation that had 5,000 employees, was created by one of our designers. We had great support with our implementation team and customer service. They are constantly improving their product, which was great.

Overall, our five-year relationship with MarcomCentral has been positive. While we've hit our roadblocks, the team always arises to the challenge. The software helped us create an environment where local markets can autonomously create marketing/event materials, while achieving brand consistency by locking down the branded design elements and incorporating an approval workflow. The platform, however, is not particularly strong with copy fitting, and the rich text editor does not entirely fill the design gap, so most of our more complex brochures have to be custom designed. Over the last 5 years the software has significantly progressed to incorporate our enhancement suggestions and keep up with industry trends, though at times we've experience long turnaround times for work and requests. Though, the new support ticketing system gives greater transparency into the process.

The benefits is having a location for all things brand from Sentry. We want to keep it simple for users to know where to go, and have quick and easy access to what they need to enhance their workplace duties. The software provides the resource for supporting and strengthening our brand.

"Marketing Automation that Makes Sense" What do you like best about eTrigue? DemandCenter by eTrigue offers flexibility that is non-existent in other MAP systems. From the incredibly easy to use email and Landing Page templates to the form builder, eTrigue has constructed a "wunderkind" of an MA system to be used by everyone who seeks to learn marketing automation in both theory and in execution. One of the things that makes eTrigue so successful is their customer support. It's simply what tech support was 40 years ago......responsive and of high quality/value. The eTrigue support team gets all over issues without delay and they give you a resolution same day or an ETA for a fix, or an immediate work around. They do not pretend that it's a perfect world/product and that approach is refreshing. Without that level of support we couldn't be successful. It's quite an achievement.

"Great Product With Full Feature Set" What do you like best about eTrigue? Simple product to use with lots of features. Integrates with most CRM tools as well as Webinar solutions. Easy to read reports which give a great insight into website visitors and their actions (pages visited, length of stay on each page, etc). Nice email creation tools and simple to build nurture campaigns.

"We use eTrigue's DemandCenter for B2B almost daily, for 5 years - and it's great!" What do you like best about eTrigue? This is the perfect tool for those that like ultimate freedom/flexibility when designing their marketing automation (MA). eTrigue's "DemandCenter" application keeps up with all of the best MA tools out there, but has a few key features and speedy interface that make me recommend it above others, if you value your time. Specifically, the UI is not a 'wizard/guided/steps' kind of approach. Instead, you have all of the options/criteria/actions available to you, and you can speedily compile lists and campaigns. So once you know where everything is, you can really hum along without constant interruptions or multiple screens of setup. The same UI components (for the list building criteria, for example) is the same/consistent in other parts of the application. Like the reports builder or criteria for actions/triggers within campaigns. So once you've learned it in one location, it is intuitive to use in other areas. Data/contacts visibility and hygiene also seems easy, due to this setup. You can quickly review your database, applying filters for drilled-down views. Wildcards and boolean functionality available throughout to be able to see what you really want to see. But, above all else, eTrigue has the best support I've ever experienced for a SaaS / online app. They're very responsive to tickets, open to new features, and it's always the same group of people that I'm dealing with.
