But wouldn't Marketing Cloud Account Engagement provide us with more advanced features for tracking and personalization?

Haha, developing a custom solution with Apex? That's like trying to build a rocket ship to go to the grocery store. Marketing Cloud is the way to go, folks.

I'm not sure if Option A would be robust enough to handle 100,000 emails per month. Scheduled flows might not be able to scale that high.

Option C) Develop a custom solution using scheduled Apex to send emails might be too complex and time-consuming for UC. Marketing Cloud Account Engagement is a better fit for their needs.

Marketing Cloud Personalization sounds really interesting, but I'm not sure if UC really needs that level of sophistication. Depending on their specific needs and budget, Account Engagement might be a better fit.

I'm with Arleen on this one. Scheduled Flows seem like the simplest and most cost-effective solution, especially if UC is already using Sales and Service Clouds. It might not have all the bells and whistles of Marketing Cloud, but it should get the job done.

Haha, can you imagine trying to manage 100,000 emails per month with custom code? That's a nightmare waiting to happen. I'd definitely recommend going with a platform designed for enterprise-scale email marketing.

Custom Apex code? Really? That seems like overkill for a requirement like this. Unless UC has some super-specific needs, I think they'd be better off with an out-of-the-box solution like Marketing Cloud.

I'm leaning towards the Scheduled Flows option. It's built-in to the Sales and Service Clouds, so it might be the most straightforward and cost-effective solution. Plus, it can handle email tracking, which is one of the key requirements.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not sure if I have enough experience to tackle this kind of email marketing problem. But it seems like Marketing Cloud could be a good solution, either with Account Engagement or Personalization.
