Adobe Customer Journey Analytics vs. Ortto

Adobe Customer Journey Analytics is great at combining offline (e.g call center data) and online (web data) as long as you have IDs that can be stitched together. If you have data that does not collect an ID, you can't combine that data. Account level data combined with person level data is very difficult to analyze in Adobe Customer Journey Analytics. They are coming out with a Adobe Customer Journey Analytics B2B edition but now its another thing to pay for/manage instead of updating the current Adobe Customer Journey Analytics edition to be more robust.

Autopilot has a friendly and bright appeal offering a code-free automation experience that makes it easy to build complex automated workflows. Anyone can start creating workflows using the drag-and-drop builder even without technical knowledge. Teams utilize the notes and graphics feature to collaborate on automation workflows providing a much easier way to understand workflows created by someone else.

• Customer journey analytics can be used to analyse data from a range of data sources and the data can be visualised, filtered etc. by users.
• It also allows users to handle custom data to handle their specific needs and the data can be catered as per users need its like your own customised platform.
• The best part is the integration users can connect this to various other platforms with one ID. This helps the user with easier usage and less hassle as everything is kind off a click away.

• Very easy to use automation builder with many great options and integrations. Lets us tailor incredibly precise campaigns through use of Autopilot's own features, plus its tight integrations with data from sources like Segment.

• 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.

• Limited Design Customization: If you're an experienced marketer and are used to the unlimited customization capabilities of larger platforms (or coding your own templates), you might find Autopilot's options to be limiting. It's great for a beginner user who shouldn't be encumbered with those options, but I could see if being frustrating for others.

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

Users of Adobe Analytics will be pleased to note Adobe Customer Journey Analytics's ability to perform non-destructive changes to data variables (so long, processing rules). Users familiar with Adobe Analytics will immediate adopt Adobe Customer Journey Analytics without a large amount of onboarding or training. That said, users without prior exposure to Adobe products will face a steep learning curve if they are migrating from another BI tool.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

So far, it is hard to see the advantage of CJA over GA4. However I have not had enough experience and training yet to be sure. Also, we have not taken full advantage of CJA yet. Another tool we use is Microsoft Clarity, which (for a free service) is quite powerful.

How would I say this, for me Autopilot is a whole other tool then the other MA tools I use. Most other MA tools focus on a lot of options and things you can do with it. But Autopilot seems to mainly focus on the visual builder to make automations, and they do that really well! The other tools are also great but more a "complete package solution" with a lot of options. And that can be overwhelming. So if you want a great easy-to-use workflow/automation builder and less of all the other options Autopilot is a great start.

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.

Good offline/non-human resources (guides, FAQs, vids) Great support from people

• Currently, the ROI is a bit extended as our use cases are a bit more complex than the average use case (but we are in active discussions with Adobe Product to improve)
• The Adobe Customer Journey Analytics implementation has directly contributed to our company's ability to speak to enterprise orientation, we have seen customer omni-channel presence go up 5% in just one year

• Not sure. I cannot put a $ on it for ROI as I was the administrator and not part of the team that procured it. Time-wise I would say I spent less time using it than I previously had used in CloudPortal Services Manager.
