Data-driven insights have improved campaign tracking and form journey optimization
The tutorials provided on the Experience League platform could be made easier or explained in more accessible terms. Sometimes it is difficult for a beginner to understand the terminologies, so this could be improved. From a cost perspective, a major improvement is needed. Adobe Analytics is a very costly tool. For example, if a startup or a small company wants to use Adobe Analytics, it is very difficult to procure that license because of the high cost. I would expect Adobe to reduce the cost so that many enterprise companies would be interested in using that tool. Earlier, Adobe Analytics had ad hoc analysis, which was an omnichannel tool that had both offline data injection and online data injection capabilities. This was a very useful tool, but Adobe decommissioned it a few years ago. I found that tool very helpful for the business as it provided the capability of preparing dashboards and reports for all datasets, offering a wider range of insights. Unfortunately, Adobe has decommissioned that tool.

Customer journeys have become clearer and real-time insights now highlight needed reporting improvements
One improvement I want to mention is that the way I had Glassbox set up was through the data layer; I am a technical person, so I used a Google Dev screen to search within Glassbox for segments rather than using the Adobe API connection, which I think would have been preferable since others have reported better success with that. I give Glassbox a seven because I would have preferred it connected through Adobe rather than through the data layer, which complicates training for non-technical staff to build custom reports; having the Adobe API set up would have made finding Adobe segments easier.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"There is definitely a return on investment in terms of how Adobe Analytics is bringing in new revenue, new customers, and tracking your campaign."
"I would recommend Adobe Analytics to businesses over any other tool because it provides all the solutions under one window, including tag management, reporting, and customer data platform, so all of this is available under one roof."
"Glassbox has reduced the turnaround time of customer incidents, and it is saving a lot of time and money for us."
"One of the biggest benefits of using Glassbox is faster issue identification and better visibility into customer experience problems."
"I have seen a return on investment, having saved a lot of money and time."
"Glassbox positively impacted our organization because we got a one-stop solution to track all different journeys, different dashboards, and different applications."
"One specific outcome I can share about Glassbox is a decrease in customer complaints because as soon as I catch an issue, as soon as there is an event where a particular issue is occurring and it crosses the threshold, the system sends an event and I can check that user session to see what is happening and address that issue immediately and resolve it."
"Glassbox has helped us reduce the time required to investigate customer issues, improve digital experience, and make data-driven decisions."
"Glassbox has helped us save considerable money and time."
"I have noted a return on investment since employees previously took two days to manually identify data, but now they complete the same work within four hours thanks to Glassbox, which reduces working hours and translates into cost savings for us."
 

Cons

"Something could be enhanced with Adobe Analytics regarding how granular the data is. The dashboards do not give a very complete overview of things."
"Adobe Analytics is mostly stable, but we have observed a few downtimes or issues with the product."
"One frustration I have experienced with Glassbox is that with large amounts of session data, it could sometimes take time to filter and narrow down the exact user journey I want to analyze."
"I choose a seven because, despite helping in user behavior and error counting, session replays have been a significant pain point for me, and UI navigation can become complex."
"Glassbox is not stable in my experience. Glassbox often has downtime and technical issues; reports are not loading and there are login errors."
"I give Glassbox a seven because I would have preferred it connected through Adobe rather than through the data layer, which complicates training for non-technical staff to build custom reports; having the Adobe API set up would have made finding Adobe segments easier."
"There are sometimes issues with Glassbox itself where some alerts do not get captured or the GIA integration does not show correct results, but it is being learned and improving."
"Glassbox is not the best when it comes to back-end data and capturing things such as server time and response time."
"Glassbox is powerful, but I think the user interface could be more intuitive for new users."
"Glassbox can be improved in various ways. I think performance and lag are areas needing improvements."
