Question

Winter 2017 release pretty lackluster

Nothing much to speak of in the Winter 2017 release - is what we can expect now that Marketo is owned by venture capitalists?

I wonder if they're rolling it out... announcement and all? I haven't received any updates yet.

      I imagine it would take some getting used to. But I'm glad it's being put into place to settle the everlasting debate between Marketo seeing a lead and contact as the same thing.

        I just read the announcement - Release Notes: Winter '17 - Marketo Docs - Product Docs  - have to say, I am not impressed either.

        Great that they are pushing the new products forward but what about the old staples everyone knows and loves.......when they are not driving us insane

          Biggest thing I glean from this is that any Forms v1.0 need to be fully converted by August (supposed transition date) where they will automatically be transitioned to the new experience.

          I just started seeing the Winter '17 release notes on the homepage of my instance today... Do you think they did a rollout and we just got updated?

          I have to agree here.  Now that these only happen four times a year, the expectation is that these would contain significant, innovative features/enhancements (ideally inspired from some of the most popular IDEAS submitted) or at least hit on some of the core missing features that have been highlighted in this thread: Just do it! Marketo so-called minor missing features.  Thanks @Grégoire Michel

          But then again, perhaps Marketo is saving some of this to announce at Summit.

          And yes, Dory, these were pushed live this weekend.  Odd that you didn't receive an email from Cheryl a couple weeks ago (received on Feb. 22).

            HI also have to agree on this one. I understand that there quite a few important projects going on though, so let's expect some good news in SFO.

              I think what also might be contributing so some of this frustration is due to all of the announcements, emails, etc. that went out last week around Project Orion.  Many of us are still unclear of what the migration path looks like and hear of any customers that have been moved to this enhanced architecture who are experiencing the performance increases that Orion is said to bring.

                Hi Tim,

                "Products" would be probably a better place for this thread than "Marketing Central". It would guarantee that many more people would see it and react, if this is what you want.

                  Hi @Tim Madel​. If you haven't seen it, you may want to listen to the recording of Steve Lucas' webinar to all customers and partners, which was held on the 15th, as he spends a fair bit of time talking about Marketo's product innovation going forward.

                   

                  Thanks, Janet
