Chose LiveRamp
I have not used any other products specifically like this as we already had this product when I began using it.
Chose LiveRamp
LiveRamp has become the industry leader in data onboarding, identity resolution, and data management. LiveRamp has grown faster than Neustar and the business model is more specialized than Neustar. LiveRamp has chosen to just focus on identity resolution, data onboarding, and …

Chose TransUnion TruAudience
We compared it with Google tag manager but selected it because of good features and pricing. This product works best for small organizations. Plus the pricing is also accordingly low. The product is good and works amazing for less number of team members.
Chose TransUnion TruAudience
I believe slack does work better than Signal for PC and office-oriented teams, but found that signal was the go-to for a rapidly growing and dismantling structure like a campaign. The Mobile interface, and the use of cell phone numbers rather than emails as a form of …
Chose TransUnion TruAudience
We're currently using Signal Tag Management because Google Tag Manager wasn't as robust as it is now. It gets the job done, but we do have our challenges with editing or creating existing tags whenever there is an issue with the site. It requires a lot of time to go through …
Chose TransUnion TruAudience
We are so pleased with BrightTag that we have not evaluated any other vendors recently.
Chose TransUnion TruAudience
BrightTag is the only tag management system that I have used.
Chose TransUnion TruAudience
Most of the tag solutions I've worked with were not nearly as robust. Most systems will let you load another tag not directly placed on the site, but none provide all the different firing levers that BT does.
Chose TransUnion TruAudience
Bright tag is already in use within our company so there was some bias there.

TagMan was a bit expensive but from what I saw, potentially worth it, especially if reporting is important. I believe they had a great global presence.

It is well suited if you are trying to track data and information across multiple platforms.

Signal becomes as flexible as any other tag management solution if you're able define the data layer requirements clearly to your development team. The interface is very outdated if you're coming from Google Tag Manager. You might have to know some sort of JavaScript if you plan to make changes to the properties of some tags.

  • UI was a little clunky, with the initial homepage not particularly appealing
  • Muting notifications on large chats can only be done for set, not custom, intervals
  • Notifications would frequently show up more than once, a rather annoying habit

We are deeply ingrained in BrightTag and very pleased with its performance, but there is always the possibility that another tool with features we have not considered or are even aware of may come along that makes transitioning to a new platform a worthwhile endeavor (perhaps one that integrates A/B Testing or a Personalization engine into the TMS framework)

Usability
No answers on this topic
Based on the features and current usage. It shows some buggy pages plus the service and support is really very slow. The updates are not regular and company needs to work on that. The usability is good and reporting of tags is accurate which is the best part. The pricing of the product is good and can be used by organizations of all sizes.

Support is really slow and it takes days to resolve an issue. Plus we have to inquire regularly for the status of resolution. Company should definitely work towards that

Alternatives Considered
LiveRamp has become the industry leader in data onboarding, identity resolution, and data management. LiveRamp has grown faster than Neustar and the business model is more specialized than Neustar. LiveRamp has chosen to just focus on identity resolution, data onboarding, and data management, whereas Neustar has several business units and is less focused. For these reasons, we prefer using LiveRamp's technology over Neustar.

I believe Slack does work better than Signal for PC and office-oriented teams, but found that signal was the go-to for a rapidly growing and dismantling structure like a campaign. The Mobile interface, and the use of cell phone numbers rather than emails as a form of verification and a basis of identity makes it perfect for a campaign environment

  • BrightTag has increased employee efficiency.
  • BrightTag has enabled us to cut down the number of times that specific pages are tagged. Tagging a site numerous times slows a page down thus decreasing the user experience.
  • Brighttag has allowed us to easy collect and house tag information, therefore increasing our customer service.
