Will I lose my Pardot data and Engagement Studio programs when I switch?

Your prospects, lists, custom fields, and suppression data export as CSV and import into Bento. Engagement Studio programs need to be rebuilt, but this is a chance to simplify complex B2B journeys. Historical engagement data stays in Salesforce for reference.

Can Bento integrate with Salesforce after we move off Pardot?

Yes. While Bento isn't embedded inside Salesforce like Pardot, you can sync contacts, accounts, and opportunities using APIs, webhooks, or integration tools so marketing and sales stay aligned.

Does Bento support B2B lead scoring and alerts like Pardot?

Yes. Bento lets you build flexible scoring based on any event or attribute and trigger alerts or workflows when people hit certain thresholds. Sales still gets timely notifications on high-intent leads.

Will switching hurt my email deliverability?

Bento includes deliverability infrastructure that Pardot relies on Salesforce for: reputation monitoring, authentication setup, batched sending, free email validation. With proper warmup, deliverability should stay the same or improve.

How does Bento pricing compare to Pardot for large Salesforce databases?

Pardot pricing is tied to mailable prospects in your Salesforce org. Bento only charges for identified users in your account. If you store many leads but actively email a smaller subset, you'll typically save 30-60%.

Can Bento replace both Pardot and our separate live chat or shared inbox tools?

In many cases, yes. Bento combines email marketing, automation, transactional messaging, live chat, and shared inboxes so your team manages outreach and replies from a single operator-friendly platform.

How long does a Pardot migration take?

Most teams move core prospects, lists, and key programs in 1-3 days, then iterate on advanced journeys over the following weeks. Use migration as a chance to clean up and focus on automations that actually drive pipeline.
