Is anyone using Marketo Sky yet? If so, I'd love to hear your feedback - love it? hate it?

I've been bouncing back and forth too. Seems to be faster and I like the UI. Looking forward for the full version.

Opened it. First thing I tried to do was not supported yet. Bailed. Will be back when more of a complete experience. Anyone know if Marketo has published a timeline or roadmap for the UI?

Am I the only one that is really not a fan of the color scheme? I don't love the white-text-on-dark-purple - feels hard to read...and also all of the icons being basically the same white and cream colors make distinguishing between different objects pretty difficult at a glance (ie it'd be nice if folders vs archived folders looked more distinct from each other, as well as programs vs smart campaign coloring).

I agree that the UI feels faster, but for me, the UX, based on some of the design/color scheme choices, still feels awkward/uncomfortable...

Yes, I find it very hard to read!

Still too buggy to use in a production environment.  We're noticing several of our existing programs missing constraints, values, tokens, etc.  For example, here's a subset of flow steps from an existing smart campaign:

When accessing this in Sky, some of the fields contain no values (this is consistent across all of our programs/smart campaigns):

In many of our smart campaigns, many of the tokens are simply not there.

A couple other quick observations:

  • When typing in the token type (e.g., {{my., {{system., {{lead.), Marketo doesn't provide a listing of available token values.  You have to know the full token value before entering it in the field
  • When clicking the "trash" icon, there's no confirmation to see if you really want to delete.  It just goes away.

I've tried it a few times after they released the beta this summer, but it was too buggy to be productive, then I recently tried again after they launched it with the latest release, but I'm finding there's still a lot of features that are still "Not yet available in Sky." So I'm going to wait it out a little longer before diving fully into it.
