Centralized customer data has powered predictive audiences and proactive marketing campaigns
The best features Segment offers are the audience building features. We've also launched predictive audiences, which is so far really promising for us and marketing has a lot of ideas for activating these types of audiences. We're going from using historical data to using current data to get more predictive with how we're activating. In my experience, the audience building tools compared to other solutions I've seen or used are really sophisticated. I've used other CRMs in the past for this, and I would say the type of data you're not getting as much of is what you do when you're activating or creating the audiences within the CDP. I think predictive audiences require a 360 view of the customer in order to create these types of AI audiences because they use a lot of different data points. How it's helping the team is by giving us more ways to reach our customers and being more proactive in the type of campaigns that marketing can launch. They have a lot of good ideas and some good things in the pipeline.

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

"Segment's scalability is amazing, and it's fully capable of handling all of the different use cases that we have in our company and we have a very complicated company."
"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."
"Customer support is fantastic."
"The product's deployment phase is really easy."
"The baseline creation of the tags is one of the tool's features that I like."
"The feature I like the most in Tealium Customer Data Hub is AudienceStream CDP. It's the main product with many features, allowing us to build complex and straightforward use cases directly. Tealium Customer Data Hub is an easy tool to use. The client and server sides are user-friendly, especially the server side, including Tealium CDP, EventStream, and AudienceStream. Marketers without technical knowledge can quickly build use cases in audiences and connect them to vendor channels. No technical knowledge is required for these users. The platform offers easy integration and implementation. While technical aspects exist for building more complex use cases, a marketer can directly develop and implement use cases quicklyin the platform."
"We can create our segments and users in a field. Creating segments in Tealium using AudienceStream is easier than using any other filter."
"The vast amount of native connectors that Tealium has in its marketplace is valuable to us."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"I really enjoy Tealium as a whole, including its tag management part and its CDP capability."
"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."
 

Cons

"The only challenge was the session functionality."
"I chose a rating of eight out of ten because these video tutorials would really illustrate how to use the tool to its full potential, and perhaps some more hands-on support from the Segment team would push it to a ten."
"The challenge is the lack of flexibility in the SDKs, given the capabilities of the destinations."
"It would be good if the tool had a console inside it to help meet complex requirements."
"Sometimes, the extensions do not load properly before and after events."
"In the UI, some data is not visible. I think improvements related to bug fixing are needed in the tool."
"Some areas need attention in terms of improvements for the Tealium Customer Data Hub. For example, audience sizing could be improved because it can only process up to one lakh users per day when trying to get a historical audience. Improvements are also needed in areas like dashboarding. Although they have introduced new features like Audience Insights, there's still room for enhancement."
"The solution's documentation could be vastly improved to make life easier for people using it on a regular basis."
"Tealium Customer Data Hub does not provide any reporting analytics."
"Tealium AudienceStream does not support concurrent development."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing was on the higher side but it wasn't excessively high."
"The price is based on event volume."
"It's not as expensive as other tools."
"Tealium Customer Data Hub is an expensive solution, but it is not more expensive than Adobe."
"Tealium's pricing can be expensive compared to others, but it's worth the investment due to its extensive features and capabilities."
"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."
"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."
