Power-packed Marketing Automation Tool
A powerful marketing automation tool but expensive. Good for people who are looking for imapctful insights, lead nurturing and tracking down customer activities with ease. Pardot could be a good fit if you need good Salesforce CRM integration and have the budget for $1,000/month or more.
Pros
We get real time activity updates of our prospects from the lead deck functionality
Awesome customer support
Ease of usage, is highly customisable
As it's a Salesforce product now the ease of integration with the CRM is mind blowing
Cons
I would say the makers of this product are a little money minded.
A lot of functionalities are only available for the PRO users like API access and A/B testing
Also, not many integrations are possible using this product

Not a Good Option for Social Media Management
Pros
The product integrated well with Salesforce.
Cons
We tried to use this for social media management. We do not get a preview of how a social media post will look for any of the networks, so in several instances we’ve had to delete a post and then repost it through Hootsuite or the social site directly. Also, @ mentions do not show up on Facebook as they should, only simple @text without the link.

Fantastic all in one marketing platform helping converting leads
The product has no doubt helped us in generating new leads and keeping us maintain our relationship with our existing customers and partners. I love the email marketing and marketing side of Pardot as it has been simplified in a way that non-technical users can also use the platform.
Pros
The product is great at automation, every single thing within the automation of email marketing and forms is customisable. The product helps us in tracking all the activities of our leads and allows us to target them with personalized messaging and products of their interest from our offerings. The platform is good at lead generation, nurturing and drip campaigns. The user interface is very friendly too
Cons
The implementation of the product at the beginning is a painful process and cannot be simplified at all. There are many limitations on the reporting side and Salesforce lacks reporting capabilities in the way we want. The existing templates available to use are also limited.
Reasons for Choosing Pardot
We had more experience within Pardot than MailChimpSwitched From

Integrates well with Salesforce but lacks features of competitors
Pros
The fact that it integrates natively with Salesforce is Pardot's best feature. The engagement studio automation product is great as well, making it really easy to create drip campaigns and other conditional flows.
Cons
The email builder is 10 years behind competitor's builders. To get things to behave, you have to code emails in html. The WYSIWG builder is poor, but asset management of images and files is even worse. Competitors like MailChimp and ActiveCampaign have much better platforms for designing beautiful, responsive emails.
