What are the differences between Marketo Calendar and Calendar HD?

[Erica_Dipyatic]

Seeking details identifying the differences between the two options. In documents all I'm seeing in Calendar HD is the presentation options.

Unable to locate any sales or fact type sheets.

THANKS!

Here's some documentation from the Product Docs section: Calendar HD - Marketo Docs - Product Docs

Thanks.

Unfortunately brand new to all things Marketo. We just learned about both Calendar options. Going through planning and trying to identify features and capabilities. Flipping through the docs, more in the weeds than had hoped existed. Surprised there's no sales materials available to share to help sell the upgrade of HD. What we get out of the upgrade, over the basic Calendar would be valuable.

And from what experience we've had, answers are typically - Marketo Docs...that don't answer the questions at hand.

I hear what you're saying.  If we actually used the Calendar (and Calendar HD), I'd be happy to share more info.  But this is one of the areas of Marketo that I can't provide any more information than what you can already find online.

Full disclosure, I like it!!! Thanks, Dan. Appreciate your time.

Hi Erica,

Most of the documentation is going to be How-To documentation, but if you want feature lists and example use cases, I would recommend contacting your Account Manager or Account Executive to see if they have that info.

Hi Erica,

I just recalled that Phillip Wild​ uses Calendar HD in his organization.  Maybe he could give you some insight on what features he finds useful in it.

Thanks for both replies, and the connection, Roxann McGlumphy​.

Hi Erica

We use Marketo Calendar HD for tracking goals - for example, new subscribers this year. Full disclosure again - we don't display this on a large screen since it's relevant for my team, but not for the larger marketing group.

We also don't really use the calendar itself for planning purposes - you can't easily put in placeholders for upcoming sends that aren't built in Marketo already - a limitation that is pretty much means we can't use it like that.

Thanks, Phillip Wild  for taking the time to share how you do use Mkto Calendar HD with your team. Appreciate it!

Thanks,
