Why teams switch

Six reasons growth teams switch from Marketing Cloud.

✓
Running in days, not a two-quarter implementation — and no partner engagement to scope first.
✓
AI Campaign Agent that ships campaigns autonomously (vs Einstein’s generic, untrained model).
✓
Cross-org benchmarks tell you if your 28% open rate is good or great for your industry.
✓
Campaign Simulator lets you A/B/C test before sending — no “learn from production” mistakes.
✓
Churn predictor and revenue intelligence built in — not separate Marketing Cloud Personalization add-ons.
✓
Per-seat pricing only when you actually need a seat — not a per-user fee on everyone who only reads a dashboard.

Honest verdict

When each platform makes sense.

We’d rather you choose the right tool than churn in three months.

Pick BorakDesk if…

  • You want to launch in days, not months.
  • You don’t have a budget for a 6-figure implementation partner.
  • You market crypto, music, or healthcare and need industry depth.
  • You want predictable per-tenant pricing — not per-user creep.
  • You need a campaign simulator and cross-org benchmarks.

Pick Salesforce if…

  • You’re already a Salesforce shop running Sales Cloud and need tight CRM coupling.
  • You have a dedicated Salesforce admin team and an SI partner relationship.
  • You need extremely deep custom Apex / Lightning customization.
  • Your enterprise procurement requires Salesforce on the vendor list.
