Marketo's and Verb's tech seems to lend itself to improving Adobe's Marketing Cloud portion of the Adobe Experience Cloud . In addition to probably enhancing other existing Adobe offerings.

Adobe's Pricing Model
Generally the pricing models are something like a cut of your spending through the service or a figure derived from a number of server hits. The license alone costs $450,000 on average.
