Creates rules, extensions, and workspaces for data analysis
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable features in Target are creating activities, rules, extensions, and workspaces for data analysis."
  • "Adobe Target can improve its reporting and dashboard creation."

What is our primary use case?

I create activities in Adobe Target and perform tasks like deploying tags. In my course of using Target, I have been implementing multiple banners, push tags through banners, and integrating third-party agency tags using the site. 

In a recent project on an e-commerce site, I encountered an issue where the checkout button was blocked. I used Target to create a tag and remove the blockage from that specific page.

How has it helped my organization?

Multi-variant testing in Adobe Target has impacted our organization’s digital strategy. It allows us to test multiple changes simultaneously, such as visitor conversions, traffic percentages, and product conversion goals. By testing various combinations of changes, we gain valuable data feedback that helps us make revenue decisions and optimize our digital strategies.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features in Target are creating activities, rules, extensions, and workspaces for data analysis. I saw the benefits of Target immediately after implementation in streamlining deployment across multiple environments like stage, production, and development.

We use Adobe Target for personalizing content on our site, optimizing customer experiences, and measuring digital strategies through reports. We also use Rapid API for A/B testing and multivariate testing to review and adjust content on different pages for better personalization and performance.

What needs improvement?

Adobe Target can improve its reporting and dashboard creation. It would be beneficial to have clearer segmentation options with more dimensions and metrics available. Tracking and tagging users can become easier if there is an option to modify user demographics and provide default settings for e-commerce and digital marketing sites.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Adobe Target for six years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I haven't experienced any major issues in regards to stability in the past few years. For a brief moment, there was a maintenance-related downtime issue where the tool was temporarily inaccessible without prior notice. This issue didn't affect our live website as we had already deployed changes to production.

How are customer service and support?

I have contacted the customer service in a recent block that I faced with the AWS launch.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have experience with Amplitude and Google Tag Manager (GTM) as alternatives to Adobe Target.

In my experience, Google Tag Manager is better because it offers more user-specific features and a better default setup compared to Adobe Target.

How was the initial setup?

It is easy to deploy Adobe Target. We have multi-testing and multiple environments in place.

The maintenance is handled by Adobe through quarterly checks and suggested configuration changes.

Although we have a team of three people, one person can handle the deployment.

What was our ROI?

Target has influenced our ROI and business outcomes. We were able to identify and address issues like the checkout button being hidden, which hindered user experience and caused drop-offs in the payment process. Through testing and analyzing conversion rates and drop-off rates, we provided valuable insights to our UI team, leading to improvements in site design and user interactions. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing of Adobe Target depends on the perspective. It can be deemed as fair from a business perspective but it might be expensive for individuals.

What other advice do I have?

I would recommend that new users of Target should understand and utilize multivariate testing effectively. They should also familiarize themselves with dimensions and metrics in reporting. 

Overall, I would rate it an eight out of ten.

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Adobe's technical support team is generally accessible and responsive, but it requires certain technical proficiency.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

Setting up Adobe Target requires expertise and strong technical knowledge. It could be more straightforward.

Deployment time varies based on whether you implement it on the client or server side. Client-side setups are quicker, but server-side implementations can be more time-consuming.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The product is expensive. 

What other advice do I have?

I recommend Adobe Target, especially the premium version, for its advanced features, such as recommendations, which are particularly beneficial for e-commerce.
