Personalized content has streamlined role-based experiences and saves time for rapid updates

In Experience Manager, we perform authoring tasks. For example, if I need to add a form to my website, I need to author it from the Web Experience Manager, and then that will be available. However, that requires a release and everything. With Adobe Target, we can create an Experience Fragment and export and import it into Adobe Target, and we can use that Experience Fragment as content on the website. This does not require a release, and we save a lot of time in that process. We have saved a lot of development time. Usually, if we have to push changes to production, we need to go through a release cycle. We need to push our changes to QA, stage, and then production. We have a sprint of twenty-one days. With Adobe Target, if we want to do a hotfix or something of that kind, we can do it immediately, test it immediately, and push it to production without a release cycle. This saves money, time, and resources.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Adobe Target has built-in functionalities that make it easy to make dynamic changes. Whether adjusting colours or adding or removing elements, we can do it all with just a few clicks on theplatform based on the conditions we set."

"With the solution's personalization, we can recommend to users the relevant products they are searching for."

"The best features are the form-based and visual-based methods; the form-based method allows us to use languages like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to create campaigns, while the visual-based method offers a user-friendly drag-and-drop interface to create campaigns."

"I like that the tool is very simple to use. It easily integrates with analytics tools like Adobe Analytics without needing extra setup, which gives us comprehensive reports right from the start. This feature enhances our reporting capabilities significantly, unlike other tools where integrating analytics can be complex."

"The most valuable features in Target are creating activities, rules, extensions, and workspaces for data analysis."

"The main concept I like in Adobe Target is creating segments."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is the personalization area."

"It's very well-working and has never failed me. It's easy to install."

More Adobe Target pros

"I have seen measurable improvements since using SAS Customer Intelligence 360, as customer engagement rates increased by around 15 to 20 percent and conversion rates improved by approximately 10 to 15 percent for targeted campaigns."

"SAS Customer Intelligence 360 has positively impacted my organization by making our work process seamless, effective, and timely."

"SAS Customer Intelligence 360 unified offline branch interactions with digital portal activity and campaigns that were delivered, facilitating seamless real-time personalization across all customer touchpoints and driving approximately a 35% increase in qualified sales leads."

"SAS Customer Intelligence 360 has positively impacted my organization by improving time efficiency and also helping me, as a founder, to track what is going on with the clients, which I think was something important."

"SAS Customer Intelligence 360 stands out as a robust platform for organizations aiming to enhance customer engagement and make more informed data-driven decisions."

Cons

"I would say if Target would give you more visibility into what profiles you currently have and how you could optimize them"

"Adobe Target can improve its reporting and dashboard creation."

"Sometimes, the campaigns I create in Adobe Target don't work for unknown reasons. When this happens, I must start over from scratch to fix it, even if I use the same setup. This issue can be frustrating because the activities should work but don't display content on the page when it loads."

"For modeling purposes, we use a different platform as Adobe Target doesn't offer custom machine learning model building."

"I think Adobe Target needs more AI features to automate some things. Regarding integration, it is easy to integrate with their AM platform for hosting websites, but it isn't easy. They need to do more work to ensure their tools are easily connected and work together. That's something I'd suggest they improve."

"There are certain problems. Recommendations sometimes do not work when there are too many of them created. The Java script created inside the recommendation fails to load."

"We have some bugs. For example, suppose I'm creating the activity because of all the activities we create. In that case, we have to get the data from user interaction and understand how this activity was performed. In some rare scenarios, we couldn't capture the data after the activity was published in production because of some issues on Adobe Target's end."

"The solution's technical support team is an area with certain concerns where improvements are required."

More Adobe Target cons

"SAS Customer Intelligence 360's initial implementation requires heavy involvement from enterprise data engineers, developers, and data scientists specialized in SAS platform administration, which is an area that needs improvement for a smoother initial setup process."

"SAS Customer Intelligence 360 could be improved by enhancing the integration with other MarTech platforms, as the integration is somewhat difficult and may require significant IT knowledge and data engineering support, which I would consider drawbacks."

"SAS Customer Intelligence 360 is a strong platform, but there are a few areas where it could be improved."

"SAS Customer Intelligence 360 could be improved by adding other organizations to the watchlist."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There's no fixed price with Adobe; it depends on negotiations and business arrangements."

"All Adobe products are a little bit on the higher side."

"The product is expensive."

"It has a high cost, so it is not a product that everyone can afford."

"The solution is expensive."

"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."

"The platform is quite expensive."

"Adobe Target Premium is an advanced version, which is more expensive than the Adobe Standard."
