Verified User Anonymous Chose HCL Unica Adobe is a tough competitor, and it's fair to say that you can get the same quality of service from Adobe. Speaking as an Adobe fanboy, it's easy to say that I'm biased – however, from a price standpoint, IBM is cheaper, and you get the same results. I will say that IBM doesn't … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose HCL Unica Unica compares very well against other tools such as SAS CM and Teradata. It is easier to use.

Tim Biddiscombe Principal Consultant Chose HCL Unica Against all the other applications, IBM EMM stands head and shoulders above the others, in terms of sophistication & diverse capabilities - with Neolane being the closest.

Justin Russell Marketing Unica Database Administrator Chose HCL Unica We haven't had a chance to review other products.

User Testimonials
	HCL Unica	plista GmbH
Likelihood to Recommend	Extremely well integrated in the TelCos and Financial Services areas. Retail & Online Gaming are the next big sectors. Real Time capabilities via IBM Interact are starting to come to the fore as marketers start to understand the necessity for true reactive CRM. Additional functionality using IBM Distributed Marketing is also another very powerful area for the future, allowing regional marketers to fill out web based forms, which initiate and run flowcharts & email delivery automatically. Tim Biddiscombe Principal Consultant Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Campaign treats a marketing campaign as a discrete entity that is made up of one or more flowcharts, which are in turn comprised of one or more processes. IBM Campaign performs actual data manipulation live. Users do not need to know SQL to design campaigns. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Not suitable to small industries even if they really want to use. It would be great to have a lighter version to let any company use in order to make more customers. It would really great to have support team available whenever having the issues / difficulties with in the tool itself. At least able to respond asap. Incentivized VV Vasu Vetcha Sr.Campaign Designer Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	I know Unica well and can make it do just about anything I need it to do. I love the abiity to call in custom code along the way for extremely complicated scenarios and optimum performance. Situations that would steer me to other applications are: If already a heavy SAS user with Enterprise Miner and/or Enterprise Guide I would seriously consider SAS CM; if already owning Teradata platform would seriously consider Teradata RM.

Usability	I think it is easy to use, if you don't have to do to complex selections. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	I didn't use the Unica support since it is with IBM, only before. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Implementation Rating	- We had to rebuild a part of the datamart afterwards to tighten up and simplify the selection process. But as it was too time consuming to rebuild all the existing campaigns, we no run campaigns on different versions of the datamart. - The response tracking of the campaigns never worked out well, it was impossible to implement a direct response where there is a link between the lead and the response in our operational process Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	The contact history and the response history are so powerful. You can track whatever you want to help the call center to push relevant offers to our customer. In addition, predictive models can be built, with patience, in IBM Campaign. If you have some complaints from the call center about any campaigns, you can easily validate it into the contact or response history.

Return on Investment	We’ve been able to send out Thousands of communications and generate over 1 billion touches per year because of the speed and flexibility of the tool.
