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
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

Chose Lotame
Having used other DMPs, I would consider Lotame to be a leader in the field. The full control and flexibility of tagging and creating a taxonomy within the system allows more granular reporting. Lotame's usage of affinities to help identify interest segments is also something …
Chose Lotame
Both BlueKai and Krux offered a lot of the same services as Lotame, but their pricetag put them well out of our range. In fact, we were told flat out by one DMP, "unless you have >100MM page views a month, it's not worth talking to us".

Lotame offered the most service at the …
Chose Lotame
There are alternatives in the market - Visual DNA, Bluekai/Oracle/ Adobe Audience Manager, Krux.
They all offer a similar offering, however, I prefer the easy UI which is very intuitive even for beginners to the DMP world.

Cons
  • Some features that are not yet released to all customers are necessary to manage cases like device sharing
  • The methodology of how data is stored and manage is relatively unique and requires some ramp-up to fully understand
  • There are some areas, like deduplication, where the platform doesn't provide the flexibility one would expect

  • Platform can be slow at times
  • Profile Reports - at an ad campaign level these can be very similar across multiple types of campaign

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.

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?
