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.

I have not used Segment for more than a year, so I am not aware of its current evolution, but I know there was a migration from Segment to Adobe as a strategic decision by XP bank, which pointed out unified databases as an improvement area compared to Segment, where they effectively utilized AI for creative marketing campaign generation. The necessary improvements in Segment based on my experience focus on providing more tools for the marketing team, particularly using AI to create campaigns through images and short videos, enhancing communication with end customers via offer banners in a more automated and effective manner.

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."
"Segment has positively impacted my organization by making working with customer data a lot easier for us, as well as improving the speed at which we can ingest from new data sources and push to different activation layers."
"I like the straightforward way of connecting with various data sources and destinations. That's the most valuable feature. It has built-in integrations for a lot of them, so the overall effort required for integrations is relatively low."
"One of the best features Segment offers is its ability to act as a centralized customer data hub."
"In the initial rollout of the campaigns, we definitely saw a 2% conversion rate, and the end-to-end return on average ad spend showed an improvement of 14%."
"Customer support is fantastic."
"Segment allowed for the organization of the entire source of all audiences, making it a very robust tool where the cost pays for itself through return on investment, highlighting the tool's cost-benefit ratio as a major differentiator."
"On the one hand, Segment has saved marketing costs, which has allowed me to use that investment elsewhere, and on the other hand, it has allowed me to do much more personalization than I could do manually."
"With Segment, we were able to clean the data and also break the data into different classes to reach specific targets with a specific message, and the outcome was very superb."
 

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."
"The only challenge was the session functionality."
"Regarding Segment's AI capabilities, I think its accuracy and reliability of output were lacking."
"The challenge is the lack of flexibility in the SDKs, given the capabilities of the destinations."
"Segment can be improved in the initial phase regarding data quality checks between different channels' attribution versus Segment itself."
"Segment could be improved by allowing community-based integrations, particularly for integrations available only via webhook that are not natively available, such as those from attribution platforms."
"As data volumes, event tracking, and integrations increase, the platform can become expensive for growing organizations."
"I think Segment can improve in terms of identity management, possibly in some of the protocols by adding more flexibility."
"I have not used Segment for more than a year, so I am not aware of its current evolution, but I know there was a migration from Segment to Adobe as a strategic decision by XP bank, which pointed out unified databases as an improvement area compared to Segment, where they effectively utilized AI for creative marketing campaign generation."
