Sales Cloud and Marketing Cloud are two different cloud system services offered by salesforce platform. Sales Cloud is a Customer Relationship Management(CRM) platform designed to support sales, marketing and customer support in both business-to-business(B2B) and business-to-customer(B2C) contexts. Sales Cloud is a fully customizable product that brings all the customer information together in an integrated platform that incorporates marketing, lead generation, sales, customer service and business analytics and provides access to thousands of applications through the AppExchange. The platform is provided as Software as a Service (SaaS) for browser-based access; a mobile app is also available. A real-time social feed for collaboration allows users to share information or ask questions of the user community.

On the other hand Salesforce Marketing Cloud is an Email Marekting tool which allows marketers to create and manage marketing relationships and campaigns with customers.

The Marketing Cloud incorporates integrated solutions for customer journey management, email, mobile, social media, web personalization, advertising, content creation, content management and data analysis.The software includes predictive analytics to help make decisions such as, for example, what channel would be preferable for a given message. A component called Journey Builder helps marketers tailor campaigns to customers' behavior and needs, demographics and communication channel preferences.

Event-driven triggers initiate actions: When a customer joins a loyalty program, Marketing Cloud might be triggered to send a welcome message; other events could trigger data updates in the customer contact record. The Marketing Cloud is connected to Salesforce.com's Sales Cloud and Service Cloud, which enables coordination that provides a unified experience and prevents customers from being contacted separately by marketers from all three groups.

Pardot is a marketing automation platform that allows companies to find out their best leads, track marketing campaigns engagement and provide faster follow-ups.
