Future of SFDC Integration??

[Anonymous]

Marketo has been removed the the AppxChange list in Salesforce.com and is no longer welcome at Dreamforce. What does this mean about the future of the relationships? How is everyone else handling this?

Wow.... I didn't believe your post until I checked for myself.

You cannot find the app by searching any longer. If you follow the link in the community (or old bookmarks) it has a message at the top saying "This listing is private and cannot be found by searching or browsing on the AppExchange.".

I am not sure what this means. I haven't noticed any issues with our installed Marketo Apps yet.

Wow, this is shocking... and confusing! We are literally smack in the middle of our SFDC implementation and have the app installed in a sandbox but not production yet. This is quite confusing... 

I can't imagine that SFDC would literally shut off integration with Marketo in any way... I see Silverpop and Hubspot are still in the appexchange... 

I'm quite confused!

What do you mean by not being welcome at DF? I see they are still listed on the sponsors page.

They are still in the AppxChange - but not listed publicly. You can google search for them and see Marketo in there. I wasnt sure what was going to happen after the recent acquisition news.

Interesting to think that at this point, Marketo is the only marketing automation tool that is NOT associated directly with a CRM. Will be a wait and see at this point.

Dreamforce - it was just decided today literally so Im sure the sponsorship will be removed at some point soon.

Interesting... very interesting. I hope there is some explation given at some point. We LOVE Marketo but a big part of our choosing SFDC hinged on the integration so I hope actual system integration doesn't sour.

This is very interesting.  It appears that SFDC is going to be very aggressive in this space after purchasing Exact Target.  Is Marketo the only Marketing Automation vendor not coming to Dreamforce or has Eloqua been asked not to come as well?

Eloqua was kicked out of Dreamforce as soon as Oracle bought them.

Keep us updated if you hear anything!

I checked the Dreamforce page... Marketo continues to be listed as a sposnor. 

No suprise about Eloqua & Oracle.  No love there at all.
