Chose Adobe Real-Time CDP
It is extremely valuable to have AEP as shared data foundation for the different Adobe products
Chose Adobe Real-Time CDP
Adobe takes a very different approach to how profiles are stitched together than these other platforms. There are pros and cons, but there are more pros to the way Adobe has approached it. Also, the Adobe approach is designed from the ground up in the context of the other AEP …
Chose Adobe Real-Time CDP
Because of multiple reason:
1. Supports AI
2. Real time data processing
Chose Adobe Real-Time CDP
The whole stack approach and have everything under the same vendor simplifies things.
Chose Adobe Real-Time CDP
Adobe CDP is a very capable product that offers all of the features that its competitors offer and more. The only differences can be noticed while connecting with other external tools. Adobe can help easily connect with tools within its ecosystem: Analytics/Marketo/Target, etc.
Chose Adobe Real-Time CDP
I have no answer for now.
Chose Adobe Real-Time CDP
Synerise - All segments are real-time. We do not need to wait for the batch process. Data automations/transformation processes in SAS 360 - do not know well. However, AEP has better UI.
Chose Adobe Real-Time CDP
Adobe has a better usability, overall better profile governance and a better estimation for audiences. It works great with other Adobe Products
Audiense
Chose Audiense
I have used a few audience insight tools but I find Audiense has a large mix of data within one platform. For instance, IBM Watson, Demos, Social Listening, Hashtags. It is great to have a lot of insights about an audience in one place to have a holistic understanding.
Chose Audiense
I am not aware of any other tool that allows me to study as well subscriber bases.
Chose Audiense
I use Audiense alongside Pulsar because the integration allows me full control over my data and analysis. The majority of the other platforms don't allow you to create your own audiences or clean your data yourself, but with Audiense I am able to do so.
Chose Audiense
We find both platforms useful, but Audiense has a more user-friendly interface.
Chose Audiense
Every time I have tried to find a swiss army knife kind of solution that does a number of things, I discover that they do many things fine but not the things I need to be done well. That is why I have been with Audiense for over a decade. They have not tried to be all things to …
Chose Audiense
Audiense is more of a data intelligence platform that helps you execute campaigns successfully whereas the other platforms mentioned have very little intelligence built into them.
Chose Audiense
Affinio was slightly more polished, and the automated segment naming was stronger; however, the platform suffered from a lack of development, struggled to see beyond the immediate Twitter data source, and at the time of contract renewal was not a particularly strong offering …
Chose Audiense
In addition to the accurate and vast information we gather with Audiense, I would like to highlight the service we always receive from them.
Chose Audiense
Not exactly the same product but similar in a social media aspect-- Hootsuite is more about scheduling and organizing your contact while Audiense is more about insights. Together they work great.
Chose Audiense
Hootsuite Follower Wonk Got these 2 products and Audiense to get social media going.

When you start a strategy and want to discover how the audiense is composed, this is the first step to start exploring and then create your buyer personas with more details from other auxiliary tools (social listening, market research). Audiense is the best way to start exploring. It works better when you are dealing with big social media accounts when you want to explore audiences from a specific country or very specific interests. It’s good to import information from listening tools like Brandwatch to get better results about your audience.

Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform quickly becomes a must-have once you are through the "build it" phase. Direct integration with a wide variety of disparate systems makes it a difficult proposition to remove once users are trained in its various systems and fully bought into the strategy behind its use. Support for a wide range of teams is helpful in adoption and continued use of Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform - everyone in data engineering, martech, frontend marketing can find a use case to pursue.

I have been using it for a few years now and I still think it's a pretty competitive tool, although a lot of new interesting tools are coming on the market and I am always on the lookout for new solutions. If it keeps innovating, however, Audiense could stay relevant for some time to come

Usability
Activation - great Segmentation - in UI, there should be the possibility of writing advanced code Tags. Both Mobile and Desktop Data Ingestion - might be pain in the ass. Changing one customer attribute is time-consuming. It should be some super admin or some feature. One user can change some customers' attributes easily. Data Transformation - Maybe there are some modules for that in AJO?
