Treasure Data is an enterprise customer data platform (CDP) that reclaims customer-centricity in the age of the digital customer. It does this by connecting all data and uniting teams and systems into one customer data platform to power purposeful engagements.
Much easier, less costly, and more value for the money. The support for the Acquia tools platform and operation are outstanding. Acquia has been a partner rather than a vendor.
We chose Acquia for a much better UI that gave non-analytical marketers and easy to use tool where they could create their own reports. The campaign side of things also had an easier to use UI as well, that made the targeting of audiences much easier.
Platform.sh is cheap and relatively easy to configure. The challenge they have when it comes to competing with Acquia is that they aren't a Drupal centric service, and don't have the same bench of Drupal products to offer, and don't have turnkey Drupal pipelines and support …
Very convenient because it's a suite of products built to work together and Drupal is open-source. The AWS products are very similar, but I really appreciate the Cloud IDE.
we have used pantheon in the past for some use cases but now we prefer Acquia over it the reason being the availability of different products to allow us to provide a complete digital experience. A product like a site factory, Acquia personalization, site studio, etc has really …
Acquia Personalization integrates well with Drupal CMS and is more straightforward to implement than Salesforce Marketing Cloud Interaction Studio (Personalization). WordPress as a CMS hosted on WP Engine is useful, but much more limited than Drupal CMS hosted on Acquia …
Drupal is Wordpress on crack. And using Acquia Digital Experience Platform is like using a managed Wordpress site: Most of the installation and maintenance is done for you.
We stay with Acquia because they offer managed updates to Drupal core. Not everyone does. And, they are experts in supporting Drupal. They can often get a little closer to the developer side of things than other companies. Prices and support are similar for similar services …
Acquia coupled with their easier interface and 24 x 7 customer service can outweigh its competitors anytime. Acquia provides a full end to end solution for Drupal websites.
The flexibility aspect of Acquia Site Studio is unmatched and Wordpress does not provide it on a large scale. The ability to perform bulk operations and security are also the factors in favour of Acquia Digital Experience Platform as compared to Wordpress. They also offer …
Although Acquia Digital Experience Platform is an Enterprise solution like the others, it stands from competition because it relies on Drupal's Open Source community and is one of the first Cloud-native solutions so they're building on experience.
Acquia Cloud is more of a hands-off approach to Drupal hosting - get the code on the server and that's basically it. AWS on the other hand requires more specialized server and networking knowledge to support a site. Our company wants to focus on content deliver and not on being …
Can't compare apples to grapes. But in terms of "Drupal specific" hosting at enterprise level as a PAAS solution I think Acquia is the only one doing it at this scale.
Actually, Acquia Digital Experience Platform did not stack up against them, rather it was a great combination to implementing and configuring CloudFlare, the next generation Content Delivery Network (CDN) and different caching Architecture to embed with the Drupal Platform such …
We had some limitations with another provider: for example, multisite was not possible. We did not encounter any particular constraints with Acquia Cloud.
Compared to other products used, Acquia Digital Experience Platform offers a good balance between configuration flexibility and hosting implementation. Some platforms provide a similar service where it takes away the need to build the hosting yourself, however, they don't allow …
Acquia offers a much better page builder and personalization tool as native features than WordPress. Translation management is also a good feature from Drupal/Acquia, that is not managed well on Wordpress.
Both Tealium and Evergage are mostly focused on online sources. They don't have as easy or robust data model capability to ingest CRM, e-commerce, or offline data. Bluevenn has good identity resolution like TD, but the Unify data processes/model are not exposed to the customer …
We selected Treasure Data because we felt they were the best fit for a publisher as diversified as Penske. Because we have so many lines of business and integrated systems, we needed a product that had an extensible framework and was not tied to concrete workflows.
Treasure Data is a leader in the CDP space with a very easy-to-use platform for engineers, the ability to customize, customer success and investment in our business, and the ability to provide value and return on investment.
Treasure Data seems to be more flexible and scalable compared to Lytics at that time (early 2019). Our possibilities to adapt the platform to suit better our complex business environment (global, multi country, multi brand) were also a positive point. And finally, their …
We chose Treasure Data for the supreme customer service and lack of hidden costs. We don't need to manage any infrastructure or scale anything to meet customer demand. Treasure Data handles everything and makes it easy for us to integrate and focus on the tasks at hand. There …
Treasure is a more centralized and focused platform than Salesforce. Salesforce has many solutions that they seem to piece together in order to create your desired stack. Treasure integrates very well with other 3rd party technologies and you also get a more personalized …
Customer Data Platform powered by TD provides details on customer journey & individual mapping as well. GA provided aggregate level data and not the customer details. We can focus in unknown customers as well using cookie data using CDP. Custom attribution model can be created …
This is the first big data environment that I have used for marketing purposes. But Treasure Data's infrastructure could allow any kind of business to be managed in this platform--that's why this is very interesting. It's not only a consumer data platform, it's a big data …
More flexible in terms of capability, better DEVOPS (though still not ideal), large and better out of the box features/connectors, better UI, cost, integrated audience studio and active data layer (real time access data)
I did/do think that Adobe Analytics is a good tool that helps bring in all data. I really think the big point with the tool is for metrics and de-duping across media campaigns. Treasure Data is definitely much more than that. You do get to see how all of your campaigns 'play' …
Unfortunately, I was not apart of the decision to onboard Treasure Data. I was very new to this space when I inherited this tool and initiative on my team.
Based on my experience, the most striking difference between the two platforms are the way their data models are organized. Agilone (now part of Acquia) has a very hard/strict requirement for integration with the source systems as we need to conform/adhere to their …
There is a limited amount of human resource in the market who has knowledge in CDP. Treasure Data is simple and easy to navigate so that a newbie might find it easy to grasp its working concepts and initiate performing on the same. Whereas Tealium is more suited for a person …
Treasure Data was also chosen before I arrived at the organization. Also, I'm not person who's in charge or writing the queries which means that I let someone know what I need to use the software for and they let me know if Treasure Data is best suited. However, that being …
It made it super easy to upgrade 300+ Drupal sites to the latest major version in 12 weeks, end to end. It is easy to deploy legal changes and updates to components at scale. Turnkey service to deploy new environments and to clone sites. There are no ecosystem lock-in principles for Customer service/success services and professional services for new approaches.
Any time you need to process and store very large volumes of data at scale, Treasure Data will aways be at the forefront of my mind. Especially if the data being handled is constantly changing or evolving, rigid schemas just wont do. Treasure Data has the ability to adapt as your product needs change over time. Having the storage and processing flexibility is a huge win.
Acquia keeps the site up and available. I don't think we've had a second of downtime caused by Acquia.
Their administration UI makes it pretty easy to manage the websites at a high level. Check stats, change key configuration values, backup code and databases, manage SSL, create support tickets and manage development teams (users).
Their support team can do performance reviews of your website and give you tips for improving performance.
CDP provides a unified view of data from all touchpoints in the customer journey until a single customer uses the service. This feature is very helpful in making service decisions and direction.
It provides a variety of extensions to bring your data together in one place and helps you do this easily.
Kits provided by Treasure Box provide basic but helpful methods for further development of services.
the support portal can be hit and miss. sometimes there are very helpful people who get back to you in a timely manner, but more often there's a lot of lag time for the ticket to get picked up and in between responses, which can also be less than helpful.
it seems like the different departments within acquia (support, management, build teams) don't communicate with each other.
because features are so dense and granular, sometimes the workflow or how they are connected can be really complex to access.
Pricing is a bit of a black box. We are currently priced on split hour usage and some spikes come out of nowhere and leave us seeking answers (and sometimes finding unsatisfactory ones).
Some jobs will fail, causing workflows to be interrupted due to a product change or a one-time product related issue. We usually contact Support in these cases, and while they are incredibly responsive and helpful, it would be great to have more proactive communication.
Treasure's UI leaves us wanting more in terms of organization and controls, especially as we scale and grow the number of data sources, queries, and workflows.
We're moving away from Drupal as a platform. Drupal 8 and 9 were simply too overburdened and difficult to maintain compared to other offerings. PHP seems like a dying language so we are currently in the process of migrating all of our Drupal 7 functionality and custom modules to a Python/Django/Wagtail platform. This doesn't mean Acquia isn't a great service, they are professional and top-knotch, but the only way we'd say with them is if I didn't complete the migration.
Because treasure data is a great platform with a great support team behind, it's a scalable solution that deals well with huge amounts of data every day and has a huge catalog of integrations that can be easily use to download data from several platforms, like aws s3, redshift, google bigquery.
If you are a data person, you will likely understand the product and how to use it well. We did find that some of our queries run into memory issues though. If you are a marketer and want to build easy audience segments, I am not sure how easy it will be for you. We are still working through this.
As treasure data has a 24 hours support, every time we has big issues that impacts the zones, we do have immediatly support from the treasure data team, so I would say that we do not have any issues with availability
Since treasure data has started having a huge amount of data, sometimes we do have problems with the workflows logs because we generate a lot of then. But with integrations I have not to complain, its really easy to integrate with other platforms.
Every time we have had an issue, Acquia support has responded promptly and worked with us as a team to solve the problem. The Acquia support team is global and we have literally had interactions with all of their support offices, yet the experience has been the same - top notch
The technical team has a good hold on the nuances of the data related to our organization. I have found the online technical support on their site quite responsive including the L1 support. In cases where the L1 team isn't able to resolve, I have found they are prompt in getting the product team's input to get a quick resolution.
I wasnt here at the training in the start, but I had a few training with treasure data for a few functionalities, and they provided me god explanations and great documentations, eve if the project were in beta.
We chose Acquia for a much better UI that gave non-analytical marketers and easy to use tool where they could create their own reports. The campaign side of things also had an easier to use UI as well, that made the targeting of audiences much easier.
Both Tealium and Evergage are mostly focused on online sources. They don't have as easy or robust data model capability to ingest CRM, e-commerce, or offline data. Bluevenn has good identity resolution like TD, but the Unify data processes/model are not exposed to the customer to modify or develop data load workflows.
The DXP tools can handle millions of requests and can scale automatically to fit your needs. We have clients that use only part of the DXP tools and have a small usage, but even in these cases they see great value in using tools like personalization and CDP.
Ours is a non-profit service, we are happy that people appreciate and recommend the site for its content.
FLEXspace.org rapidly grew to over 6,000 users from 1,400 educational institutions across 75 countries - it is a joy to watch educators contributing content and sharing ideas.
When there are Treasure Data updates, there might be old functions that are deprecated or existing functions which no longer work as before --> this may have impact on existing workflows/queries
As many developers are working on the same environment, the jobs are queued because there is a limited amount of computation cores available --> if we want to increase it, our client needs to pay for more cores
As data are increasing, some workflows are too expensive and need to be rethought / made more efficient --> this means re-designing existing workflows and also requires constant support from Treasure Data which analyzes the queries and identifies points of improvement that allows client to pay less
