Nearly one-third (31%) of marketers plan to replace their current marketing automation system in the coming year, according to this Ascend2 study.  Another 43% are unsure about their plans.  Unfortunately, buyers prioritize price (58%) and ease of use (54%) over integration (22%), feature breadth (21%) and feature depth (19%), so their next system isn’t guaranteed to meet their needs, either.  Perhaps related: just 22% rate their marketing automation program as very successful.
