Centralized event tracking has improved product analytics and simplified data workflows
I think Hightouch as a platform has a lot to offer. It is primarily a CRM or reverse ETL type of offering with a lot of AI bells and whistles. However, it feels to me that the entire events offering is a bit of a second-class citizen in the suite of tools they offer. I say this because a lot of the documentation is out of date, and we hit a few random edge cases when using the events platform, which felt a little raw compared to other, more mature event platforms. I would say the improvement here would be for them to spend a little more time and attention on the platform itself, or provide a little more TLC, especially from the events perspective.

Pros

"Familiar, intuitive GUI coming from a Java development background, in-depth, descriptive, and well-laid-out documentation, responsive support through forums directly from Clover staff, a wealth of customizable pre-defined components, descriptive logging for error messages, and ease of install with a light footprint make it very effective to use."
"No dependence on native language and ease of use.​​"
"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"We switched to CloverETL because of its flexibility to connect to various data sources and no dependence on native language and ease of use."
"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."
"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."
"There are definitely improvements in analytics quality because of the contracts they provide on the control plane, and there were also definite time savings."
"The feature that made the biggest difference day-to-day is Hightouch's ability to create normalized, performant data models, which could truly aid enterprises dealing with a variety of data systems."
"We have had a positive impact from Hightouch, and one area where we had that impact is on the handling of customer data."
"Hightouch's best features include a simple and easy-to-navigate user interface, which means there is not much of a learning curve involved, simplifying the process of setting it up and selecting desired fields along with using the query editor."
"With campaigns like flat battery, for example, we have managed to save over six figures a year."
 

Cons

"Needs easier automated failure recovery, more and more intuitive auto-generated or filled-in code for components, and easier or more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."
"​Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough.​"
"Its documentation could be improved.​"
"Hightouch is a mature product, although it still needs to catch up with leading CDPs."
"However, it feels to me that the entire events offering is a bit of a second-class citizen in the suite of tools they offer."
"Hightouch can be improved in a number of areas, but one of them is being on the applicability in small users and organizations."
"I still think it is a bit clunky in some areas and it can be improved further; it is not a perfect tool yet, but it definitely does as advertised."
