CRM Manager at Monument Bank
Unified customer profiles have powered automated journeys and precise data driven campaigns
I found the platform excellent for having unified customer profiles, which I believe is one of the biggest selling points of Braze because it allows you to know your customer in a single profile card. The ease with which you can add new attributes and events and neatly package values underneath is impressive. In banking, we pushed clients towards different types of banking rates and tiers, which has me always wanting to return, leading to a lot of qualifications and certificates because I enjoy the platform so much and want to engage with it further down my career. Braze's best features, for me, are the unified profile cards, along with the ease of connecting different channels, including email as a focus, plus push notifications and extending that to things to in-app messages, content cards, and SMS. That connection is felt immediately upon onboarding with Braze, as the ease of use and the sophisticated UI design allows marketers or automation specialists such as me to do amazing things quickly and intuitively. Braze's analytics side is another interesting part, as it allows you to slice campaigns and different tests that you were running very easily, unlike other platforms I have used, such as Salesforce Marketing Cloud, which often requires workarounds for information. With Braze, the friendly UI enables you to download large volumes of data about your customers and understand campaign performance and why people reacted as they did. Braze's campaign feature is also essential for experts using automation or large-scale segmentation, and the campaign execution side is very intuitive, allowing for slick A/B testing and accurate conversion goal setup.

Targeted journeys have boosted engagement and support teams track user behavior daily
CleverTap helps in enhancing the user experience, increasing engagement, and keeping track of events, for example, which user clicked which event and what actions took place. It even notices which services have not been used for a long time and reminds about it. The analytics is good, and the communication made by CleverTap through emails and SMS is effective. Additionally, push notifications are great, and the segmentation of customers is excellent, including Omnichannel journeys. CleverTap has positively impacted my organization by increasing engagement, increasing activation and reactivation. I have seen a plus 30% open rate for push notifications, a plus 3% conversion rate, and a 20% return on investment for growth.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For business impact, we achieved a 28% increase in credit card sales, driven by contextual targeting, in-app messages, and onboarding flows triggered immediately after specific users' touch points in the in-app application and on the forms on our website."
"Compared to other tools and platforms, Braze is very friendly for building automations, and this is the biggest advantage I see."
"Braze's best features, for me, are the unified profile cards, along with the ease of connecting different channels, including email as a focus, plus push notifications and extending that to things to in-app messages, content cards, and SMS."
"Braze is an excellent tool that covers my main use case."
"Thanks to Braze, I could make proper CRM scenarios and campaigns where everyone can directly understand the circumstance just from the campaign structures."
"I love Braze for their retargeting and automation because their automation tracks down user behavior in near real-time, allowing us to convert users based on their trigger actions."
"CleverTap has positively impacted my organization as we use it to send communications and generate better revenue from targeting users through various channels."
"CleverTap has positively impacted my organization as it helped me to increase my leads volume."
"Before using CleverTap, our sales last month were 57 lakhs, and when we started using CleverTap, the sales automatically increased to 97 lakhs, which is a huge number."
"With the help of CleverTap's decision-making AI, CleverAI, we are able to easily improve our overall customer retention by 25 percent."
"From my experience, CleverTap is doing exceptional work."
"We have seen clear measurable return on investment after implementing CleverTap, both in terms of revenue impact and operational efficiency."
"CleverTap has positively impacted my organization because we were able to increase activation metrics like match start and match completion rates by 18 and 29%, respectively, and we saw an increase in our Play Store ratings, but beyond that, we could not continue our initiatives due to the Unity integration issue."
"Since I started using CleverTap, I have seen some improvements, especially because it has been very efficient and perfect for my organization."
 

Cons

"Braze needs to provide local support, especially for Indonesia, so we can discuss local context more effectively."
"I am not sure if this is a natural characteristic of CRM tools, but onboarding Braze into an organization requires significantly more effort."
"Braze could improve the data analysis capabilities."
"Braze could improve the use of AI agents in the tool, as we currently have AI only in a few features such as copywriting, but we cannot build journeys with an AI agent supporting the process."
"The pricing is tied directly to data points volume, and unoptimized telemetry or redundant attribute tracking can quickly consume contracted allocations, leading to unexpected overage costs."
"From a product manager's perspective, CleverTap follows a usage-based and tier pricing model, which is fairly standard for customer engagement platforms, but it comes with both advantages and some complexity."
"I intend to use CleverTap extensively for a campaign, but there are constraints with many features not up to mark or due to broken features."
"CleverTap can be improved as their pricing needs to be lower because I think that CleverTap is one of the pricey platforms in the CRM field."
"One area of improvement I would suggest for CleverTap can be on the user interface; it is not very user-friendly."
"In my experience, CleverTap is not stable, at least for Unity."
"CleverTap can be improved by adding some basic functionality to journeys that would allow me to target dynamically previous users who have visited the homepage but have not made a purchase in the last 15 days, as there is currently no way to communicate with them dynamically, only a static base is available."
"From a product manager's perspective, CleverTap follows a usage-based and tier pricing model, which is fairly standard for customer engagement platforms, but it comes with both advantages and some complexity."
"I would recommend improving the website loading time because whenever I open the CleverTap website to see my dashboard data, it takes a bit of time."
