Have improved decision-making with effective reporting
Several positive aspects about the product stand out as advantages. Valuable insights can be gained from the unsampled reports available in the product. The cloud type needs to be specified whether it's public, private, or hybrid. The overall rating for Google Analytics 360 is 9 out of 10, where 10 represents the best product.
Gertrude  Maisha - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Manager at UPS
Centralized data has unified profiles and now drives more accurate targeting and reporting
The great audience-building property makes Tealium Customer Data Hub ideal for real-time marketing initiatives. It also helps us to interact with our internal tracking system and our analytics suppliers. Tealium iQ makes tag management super easy, especially across multiple sites, and in my experience, it is one of the best features Tealium Customer Data Hub offers. I love how it stitches data from different sources in real time, making segmentation much more accurate. The built-in consent management platform helps a lot with staying compliant and managing user preferences centrally. All of these features are very great because they mainly help to unify and activate client data across CRM, billing, and marketing systems, specifically tag management, real-time data stitching, and the consent management platform. Our personalization and targeting have improved significantly with cleaner data, showing the positive impact of Tealium Customer Data Hub. Finance and business development now get better reporting from unified client profiles. Having one place to manage tags and privacy preferences has saved us both time and trouble.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Every online business needs to know where traffic is coming from and what it does when it gets to you."
"In my opinion, Google Analytics fulfills the role it plays in a good way."
"The customizable reporting feature is important in general, and it helps with making data-driven decisions."
"Since 2008, nearly every website I have worked on as an SEO and digital marketing professional has had Google Analytics deployed."
"It allows us to understand where our traffic is coming from, where traffic is dropping off and how our AdWords campaigns are performing."
"As an SEO and digital marketing professional, the two features I have found the most valuable about Google Analytics are the Acquisition tracking and the Goal tracking."
"Provides us with useful data and analytics about website traffic, giving us information about how to make our web pages better."
"We found that the source and medium report is very useful when we are analyzing paid and organic campaign performance."
"We have seen clients benefit significantly from centralizing, storing, cleansing, and ultimately activating first, second, and third-party data within Tealium Customer Data Hub."
"I really enjoy Tealium as a whole, including its tag management part and its CDP capability."
"Tealium Customer Data Hub has positively impacted my organization by significantly reducing the computational power and time spent on generating extracts compared to the legacy .NET script used previously."
"The vast amount of native connectors that Tealium has in its marketplace is valuable to us."
"We can create our segments and users in a field. Creating segments in Tealium using AudienceStream is easier than using any other filter."
"Tealium differs from Google Tag Manager and Adobe Launch. It allows you to manage different environments easily. For example, you don't have distinct environments in Google Tag Manager. When you want to work on development sites, preview the changes before publishing them to a production website."
"The product's deployment phase is really easy."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
 

Cons

"An area where I would like to see improvement in Google Analytics is the auto-syncing of functions in Google Tag Manager into Goal tracking."
"The sampling of data is definitely a pain point since we don't have an actual understanding of the data."
"Sometimes, the statistics are not updated in real-time and it takes a little time. There are pages where it updates faster than others."
"Google stripped out search rankings with “not provided.” It upsets many who want to understand how well they are doing in searches."
"The technical support from Google has room for improvement."
"Some spam data is messing up the analytics report; Google should remove spam data."
"Data capture of the acquisition of users, as on a few occasions, it was unclear where we got traffic from."
"If you do not use JavaScript, you will be invisible to Google Analytics. If you have the option of JavaScript disabled in your browsers, you will be invisible to the data, since the tool will not be able to register you."
"One area where Tealium Customer Data Hub needs improvement is that the setup is somewhat complex, and pop-up windows can be obstructive when collaborating with other team members."
"The solution's documentation could be vastly improved to make life easier for people using it on a regular basis."
"Tealium lags is in the tag templates."
"Sometimes, the extensions do not load properly before and after events."
"Sometimes, the trace ID does not work properly."
"Tealium Customer Data Hub does not provide any reporting analytics."
"It would be good if the tool had a console inside it to help meet complex requirements."
"Tealium AudienceStream does not support concurrent development."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The installation cost is really low and does not require a team with a super performance to run."
"In Tealium, there is something called events, and the pricing is dependent on the event. You will be charged only if you have active data flowing it in and out."
"Tealium's pricing can be expensive compared to others, but it's worth the investment due to its extensive features and capabilities."
"Tealium Customer Data Hub is an expensive solution, but it is not more expensive than Adobe."
"The tool's price is somewhere in the middle, meaning it is not too expensive and not too cheap either. The pricing model comes with flexibility."
"The price is based on event volume."
"It's not as expensive as other tools."
