Likelihood to Recommend
Adobe Customer Journey Analytics is very well suited for the quick access to data. With Adobe Customer Journey Analytics, you are able to pull loads of data in seconds that way you can get an answer to the stakeholders of your company that much faster. I will say that Adobe Customer Journey Analytics has a wide variety of visuals, but could always use more.

I would highly recommend Amplitude to people in the product and business analytics domains who have a need for deep, data-driven insights into customer behavior, accessible in a self-service platform. Amplitude stands out in its comprehensiveness and flexibility; once events are implemented, there are a multitude of options to combine, track, form journeys, and dive deeper into user behavior. Though the barrier for entry is a little bit steep, Amplitude is more friendly to non-technical users than other business insight platforms, without compromising the effectiveness of the analysis tools. Amplitude may not be best suited for web marketing analytics - traffic, page views, etc - since it is more focused on full-platform product analytics.

Pros
  • I use this tool primarily to categorize my customers - segmentation option is a big plus!
  • AI driven data helps me curate different metrics together - Much easier to understand dependencies.
  • This tool not only helps the marketing team, but my customer success teams are also happy to know different touch points registered by customer.

  • It provides me great answers about my critical questionnaire, by which I can easily explore behavioral data across any chart, persona, and cohort that are simple and intuitive to understand as they have made easy segmentation.
  • It offers its services for SQL queries due to which I have reduced the workload and save the time that was spent in finding out the technical aspects.
  • It is user-friendly and easy to use.

Cons
  • Journey Canvas UI, when using a mouse with scroll wheel, it defaults to zooming in or out of the map, and not up and down if the map is very extensive.
  • When trying to break down a dimension by a second dimension and third dimension. If you are replacing the 2nd dimension breakdown, it would be beneficial to keep the 3rd breakdown instead of wiping it out.

  • Some more clarity and examples of implementation with GDPR in mind
  • Some segregation inside user properties can be difficult to implement
  • Splicing information inside funnels could be more intuitive
  • User support for the cheaper tiers is hard to access
  • Pricing transparency really needs to be improved

It's the most customizable and flexible analytics tool I've used. While the tool can be slow and clunky at times, the value it provides far outweighs those issues. Being able to bring offline data and merge with web data to combine in one place is where clients need to be get the most success out of their data

Great product Good value for the cost/initiate Support docs and FAQs are great - they limit the necessity of reaching out to in-person support. So when you do call them ... it is for a legit question/issue, no just a "where is it" or a "how to I do xyz123?"

Usability
Would rate Adobe Customer Journey Analytics's overall usability at around 7. While it offers powerful insights and flexibility for in-depth analysis, its interface and setup can be complex, especially for new users. The extensive customization options are valuable but can also feel overwhelming, and it would benefit from more intuitive navigation and streamlined workflows to enhance ease of use.

It's a fairly straightforward platform that's beginner friendly. The biggest usability hurdle is most often created by your own team, as it's imperative to know what event sources are being sent to Amplitude and what those event names are. Within being properly onboarded by a team member it can be hard to get started using Amplitude. It takes time to understand what data your company may be sending to the product, the naming conventions of events (especially if there are old or deprecated events names

Reliability and Availability
For the most part, CJA is available. There are instances where the product is experiencing an outage but I haven't found this to be super frequent to the point where it really impedes my work
Read full review
Alway up and running, or if there is a problem we can get back in the game right away. The reliability was a big selling point for me, and it was true when this company got it. Rollouts can be tough, but this was pretty seamless. Good support throughout the process, good documentation to handle questions/tips

Performance
You can integrate online and offline data into one platform. help to identify trends, patterns, and anomalies while the customizable dashboards and reports make it easy to interpret complex datasets it’s possible to merge data from various customer touchpoints (i.e. web interactions, mobile app usage, and in-store visits) into one cohesive platform

No issues, problems, or negative remarks from us!! We had a plan, vendor support was rock solid, our data folks have experience, OCM supported as needed, and we got the rollout done on time, on budget, and with only minor hiccups. SInce the rollout, most of us have already forgotten the hiccups and generally speak highly of the product

Support Rating
Good enough tools and offline support. We had a model of "hypercare" that was mostly good, sometimes not good. But that was more personality/people based, rather than established processes. Overall the support was timely and effective
Read full review
I haven't used the Amplitude support other than their training docs so I can't speak too much to the in-person support but the docs are serviceable. Nothing too crazy but between the user tips, email notifications, and the decent number of docs I was able to get the support I needed to ramp up on the tool.

In-Person Training
Should be staged differently. It should be Do online stuff, get basic skills/qual. Then do "homework" type tasking, then come to class with an instructor. We got the traditional "start from 0, then step 1, then step 2..." training. This usually saps energy/focus. All training should be like a lab/practice session. If someone needs information or basic knowledge ... put it in a elearning, FAQ, job aid, or resource page.

Virtual Not bad considering the timeframe and turnaround. The biggest benefit was for my end-users to hear a voice (other than mine/ours! LOL) telling them about the new features and capabilities. The in-person training was really good for having an expert that knows the answers and could refer to past experiences, problems, solutions. THey were a great resource to ease the transition ... basically a "you are gonna be okay with this change ... you got this etc.!" kinda vibe

Online Training
Should have more of this for the 101-level stuff. No one needs a Zoom class covering the basics. I need a "guide on the side" when I'm learning new stuff. I want support while I practice.
Read full review
Good enough to get strong baseline. I always make sure our our users go to and/or focus on the vebndor-provided support docs rather than any formal training. Our instructors come and go, but written policy and how-to docs live much longer in a corporate setting. That said, the online training is sufficient. I like that the training curric is stacked and progressive.

Get trained up early, get your people in it and using/testing it.

My team members all have background as data analysts, so Amp was pretty easy to for them. There was sufficient online training available. We also used the available support documents. The actual rollout went well. We did significant testing beforehand. We did a phased rollout, with partial silent rollout (part of OCM's plan) for the smallest line of business. THe silent one was "silent" b/c it was done without fanfare or public notices ... it was just a "we're doing some things, it wont impact your work or workday

Alternatives Considered
One major reason is no one can beat adobe in customer service even if we have problem they are their to help you out immediately. The amount of features and the ease of using tool customer journey analytics provide is sufficient for my organisation as other platforms are bit complicated and take ample of time to learn them properly whereas this is just super easy and to get hold of it and as per the price area this is the best available in market

Amplitude Analytics is a robust platform that can take your data reporting beyond what's currently capable in GA. Heap is a great intermediate tool, that takes data analysis a step further and is an excellent product in it's own right. Mixpanel is the most comparable both have very similar reporting/dashboarding functionality. Amplitude can often be preferred by product and data engineering teams for it's ease of setup and impressive analytics displays.

Scalability
You have the ability to create 'user groups' with different levels of access in CJA. We helped set this up for a large organiztion where they had marketers, executives, devs and analysts all having different levels of access to use CJA but with the appropriate guardrails in place for each user group. It worked out really well for their organization.

Like all the other grades, it was mostly an easy implementation ... we have experience people, the rollout in general is well planned, and the vendor was very supportive
