The Marketo Loyalty Paradox
Ask any enterprise CMO who’s been using Marketo for 5+ years whether they’d choose it again today and you’ll hear one of two answers. The first: ‘Yes, we’ve built so much on it, switching isn’t worth it.’ The second: ‘Honestly? No — we stay because leaving is scary, not because Marketo is still the best option.’ This guide is for the second group — and for the growing number of marketing leaders whose boards are finally asking hard questions about MarTech ROI.

The CMO's Migration Decision Framework
Before signing a migration SOW, every enterprise CMO should be able to answer:
- What is our current all-in MarTech cost — licence + admin + agency + training?
- What is our team’s actual Marketo adoption rate, and what percentage of features do we use?
- What reporting capabilities are we missing that are blocking board-level decisions
- What would a 40% reduction in MarTech spend allow us to invest in demand generation?
- Do we have internal change management capacity, or do we need a partner who handles it?
