Why is it called Pardot
According to Pardot’s co-founder, David Cummings: Pardot is the Latvian (not Latin!) verb meaning “to market” or “to sell.”
I liked that it was easy to pronounce and spell, so I headed over to BustAName to see if it was unregistered, and, much to my surprise, it was available.
Is Pardot built on Salesforce

Capitalize on lead tracking, scoring, nurturing, personalization, and more. You can build out profiles for individual leads and track any interactions your marketing or sales teams have with individual leads.

What is Pardot called now
You may have seen on social media, any newsletters you subscribe to, or even on my recent blog, that Pardot has been renamed to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement.
Here is a more detailed overview of the change, as this is something that is changing across the Marketing Cloud suite.
What was Pardot before Salesforce
Pardot was known as a B2B marketing automation solution for many years before Salesforce amended the messaging.
As I mentioned in the previous answer, Pardot is best suited for organizations that have a “considered” sales cycle – which tends to be related to B2B sales – but is not exclusively B2B.

What is better than pardot
The Hubspot crm and Marketing Hub™ offer flexibility in plan pricing and features, making HubSpot the superior choice for small to midsized companies.
HubSpot is also the best choice if you want an all-in-one solution for your CRM and marketing automation as Pardot/MCAE does not come with a built-in CRM.
Is Pardot difficult
Understand the basics behind the Pardot test. The questions on the exam aren’t the easiest, and I’d agree with other Salesforce/Pardot bloggers that this is one of the harder exams out there.
That is why it is especially important to understand the tool and how all the components work together.
Is Pardot separate from Salesforce
Pardot (rebranded to Marketing Cloud Account Engagement) is a B2B (Business-to-Business) marketing automation solution that was created by David Cummings and Adam Blitzer in 2007.
It was purchased by ExactTarget in 2012 and then was finally acquired by Salesforce in 2013.

What is the difference between Salesforce and Pardot
In a nutshell, these are the main differences: Pardot is positioned as a B2B platform while Salesforce Marketing Cloud is more B2C (although this isn’t always the case and some companies can use both).
The main difference is the buying cycle.
What happened to Pardot
Pardot, one of Salesforce’s marketing automation tools, will now be known as Marketing Cloud Account Engagement.
There are several reasons behind this strategic change. The move is part of an initiative called “MC Easy,” (Marketing Cloud Easy) which is part of the “Salesforce Easy” innovation goal.
What’s the difference between Salesforce and Pardot
Salesforce takes care of lead and opportunity lifecycles, account and contact data, support case management, etc., and for this reason, is mostly geared towards salespeople.
Pardot takes care of email marketing, prospect data capture, prospect behavior tracking and scoring, etc. so, it’s geared towards marketers.
What is the relationship between Pardot and Salesforce
Pardot and Salesforce have different authorization and sharing models. Data is shared through the Salesforce-Pardot connector via the connector user.
Therefore, Pardot has access to the same Salesforce data that the connector user has access to.
Is Pardot a CRM
Pardot was founded in 2007 in Atlanta and the system initially integrated with a number of constituent relationship management (CRM) tools, including Salesforce.
Can you have Pardot without Salesforce
To support customers with Pardot-only users who do not need a full Salesforce license, Pardot will be bundling Salesforce Identity licenses with all Pardot editions.
The exact number of bundled licenses is still being finalized, but it will cover the needs of nearly all Pardot customers.
What is a Pardot campaign
Pardot campaigns are thematic touchpoints (similar to “source” in other systems). Pardot campaigns are used to track a prospect’s first touch.
A prospect’s Pardot campaign is set when a prospect first hits a Pardot tracked link or Pardot tracking code.
