BlueConic vs. Tealium Customer Data Hub

BlueConic works well as a central customer database and for building detailed customer profiles. If you want to learn how customers are engaging with your brand and then act on that data, BlueConic is the perfect choice.

Definitely in highly regulatory verticals. Tealium Customer Data Hub has the edge compared to its competitors when it comes to working in those spaces. I would also recommend it for marketing teams who have some IT support, but not a huge tech team that is able to support them in some sort of custom integrations. But are looking to quickly stand up a tool and start seeing returns quickly.

• Simple tag management that is tough to beat. So many solutions that are incredibly simple to setup and gather data for.
• Security around the data is key and Tealium excels in this area.
• The speed impact of the tag setup is key to optimizing and allowing our web properties to run more effectively, which is a better experience for the end user.

• The software was a bit glitchy at times and the beta products were launched a little too prematurely. I didn't feel like it was tested thoroughly and caused headaches at times.
• Qualifying the product was and is still probably hard for them. They could easily be confused as testing software (which it works well for) but their go-to-market is personalization... which I don't believe is their strength. It's more like a "real-time Ecomm optimization".
• Their connections with other providers was left a little more desirable. Would love to have seen them have more connections into CRM that the 4-5 they offered.

• Audiences—don't they technically exist in Tealium? They are just streamed—no count, no backfill, etc.
• Working backward to identify issues involves lots of clicking in the UI, going from audience to audience attribute, badge to event attribute, and so on.
• You have to wait for a Real-Time event to see the payload. There is no sample or other option.

I already know that my company has no plans to discontinue use of Tealium. We are heavily reliant on it due to a huge number of product teams and developers we would have to work with to place tags across many pages. Tealium is already there on the pages, and our application/product teams are familiar with how to integrate it. It is just the simplest way to ensure that new data requirements are implemented in a timely manner.

I think without a bit of training and knowledge it would be hard to walk right into a role or a task inside of BlueConic - it is kind of hard to comprehend everything that is available and all of the options. The language inside of BlueConic is also very different than other things in the industry, so it was hard to understand what it would line up with.

Tealium iQ Tag Management System does exactly what it is intended for, it manages vendortags. Changes can be made to websites and apps in minutes. The frontend is well structured, updates are easy to carry out, and Tealium support is available at all times.

It's been flawless as far as I am concerned.

Great user interface. Easy to use. Very responsive.

No vendor has ever delivered the level of support that we regularly get from Tealium. Whenever we run into an issue, we submit a ticket and always hear back within a few hours (or sooner based on the urgency noted in the ticket). Tealium support often helps me to customize the tags or pixels we set, they help to solve problems such as "Why did data suddenly stop being collected?" and more.

Did what we needed to onboard us onto the platform

Implementation had some bumps in the road and it was new for all of us, but for the most part, it was easier than many other implementations we've done with other technologies.

BlueConic is more lightweight and allows for more unique experiences at the same time. Again - this isn't meant to perfect the core UX of your site, but sit on top to deliver unique experiences to control offer management and close rates.

All of these products they have the final usage of these technologies is all of the times around using Insider. For example, you have a CDP capability, but in order to activate to their own digital channels like WhatsApp or SMS or personalization on site, and you have other technologies that do the same and Tealium what makes different, it's all about the data. They are very neutral and it's the main difference between Tealium and the other technologies.

Never had an issue, scales as we use it.

• Too early to tell. Will report back in a month. If all goes to plan though, massive. We hope subs make up the vast majority of revenues by 2020, which will be powered by BC.

• Return on investment is always questioned at our company across our Tealium Customer Data Hub suite. How can we trace back that ROAS has improved because we integrated a new connector through Tealium Customer Data Hub. I think knowing that would be helpful.
• Since we have a small team with limited resources, Tealium Customer Data Hub has been really helpful in adding tags/connectors with ease. This in turn, has allowed us to have more time working on things outisde of tagging.
