Marketing Cloud vs. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement

As you may have noticed, Marketing Cloud Account Engagement overlaps with Marketing Cloud in some features. This is no coincidence, as both products are aimed at marketing automation and personalization. However, you can use the following as a rough guide when making your selection. 

Marketing Cloud:  

  • The complete Salesforce Marketing Cloud comprises a world of its own and is intended for established marketing departments that have the resources and capacity to utilize its range of functions 

  • The Marketing Cloud offers far more possibilities, but customers also have to bear the higher costs for this 

Marketing Cloud Account Engagement can either be purchased as a B2B part of the Marketing Cloud solution or implemented as a standalone solution. 

Marketing Cloud Account Engagement: 

  • Marketing Cloud Account Engagement is a suitable solution for mid-sized B2B companies and non-profits 

  • It is slightly cheaper than the Marketing Cloud alternative and has a more limited feature set 

  • If the main goal of a company's marketing activities is so-called lead nurturing, then Marketing Cloud Account Engagement is the appropriate solution.

Salesforce B2C Commerce: Seamless shopping experiences - online, in offline stores and via mobile territories.

Community Cloud

Give your partners, customers & stakeholders a window into Salesforce 

The Community Cloud can be used to create internal and external communities. For example, companies can create portals for customers, employees or external partners. The three most common types are: 

  • Self-Service Portals: On the one hand, self-service portals promote exchange between companies and customers; on the other hand, customers can also support and advise each other within this self-service community. Company employees can guide the exchange and the course of the discussions and thus promote knowledge building for all participants. 

  • Customer portal: In the customer portal, customers can view all orders they have placed, access items, and update information or create transactions. This makes it easy for customers to obtain information and at the same time relieves the burden on customer service. 

  • Partner Central: This is the management solution for collaboration between companies and their partners. 

Templates can be used for the design of the respective portals, which in turn can be adapted to the respective company branding.
