Chose Adobe Real-Time CDP
CDP enables data management and segment aspects, leveraging data from ADobe Analytics and EDL, while Adobe Target enables us to do A/B Testing and personilation use-cases
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
mParticle
Chose mParticle
We are definitely aware of Amplitude CDP and how they are constantly making updates to their CDP to make it better. If their offerings are a lot better than mParticle's, it might make sense to jump ship to Amplitude since we already use them for Analytics anyway.
Chose mParticle
I wasn't a part of the decision making process
Chose mParticle
mParticle has a bigger catalog of services you can interface with and provides a more complete check for data integrity. It also allows you to use any analytics solution.
Chose mParticle
vs Segment, mParticle seems a bit fresher (more recently founded) and a better mobile app focus.
Chose mParticle
Great customer service over Segment and really solid UI.

Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform is well suited for organisations that have extensive PII data with attributes & consumer behaviors. Also, who wants to run omnichannel customer acquisition and focus on middle- or low-funch campaigns? Also, having multiple digital assets (i.e., website, mobile application, CRM, SMS campaign channels, etc).

Do not integrate multiple analytics / customer messaging / download attribution SDKs into your mobile or web apps, duplicating data and risking a fragemented view of the customer. Instead integrate mParticle as a CDP, and configure the necessary integrations which will enable you to progress towards a world of the single-view of the customer. Also works great to import historical data into a newly onboarded/integrated tool.

It's a great tool for beginners but not scalable to advance use cases. It's not it's a fault in our case, because any platform is as good as the data collected

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?

  • This might be less of an issue with mParticle, but often times we found ourselves troubleshooting discrepancies between what mParticle showed vs downstream analytics platforms, more so than troubleshooting the issue itself.
