Commonly cited pros across these award-winning products were robust automation capabilities, scalability and reporting. Reviewers also highlighted integrations with other sales and marketing tools, as well as active user communities.

“Marketing Automation software is the core of a marketer’s tech stack,” says Megan Headley, Research Director at TrustRadius. “For smaller companies who are upgrading from email marketing software, an all-in-one platform with CRM and CMS capabilities may make the most sense. But for growing teams and larger companies, it’s crucial to understand how a marketing automation system will play with the other systems in your environment, and whether it will be able to scale and adapt as your audience grows, you add new tools, or you test new strategies — like ABM, for example. Reviews let buyers learn from those who have gone before them.”

In addition to overall Top Rated awards, TrustRadius also recognized tools that are top rated in a specific market segment, as company size is one way to help buyers identify the right solution for their use case. To qualify for these lists, at least 15% of the product’s reviews and ratings must come from that market segment.
