    Adobe Customer Journey Analytics is great at combining offline (e.g call center data) and online (web data) as long as you have IDs that can be stitched together. If you have data that does not collect an ID, you can't combine that data. Account level data combined with person level data is very difficult to analyze in Adobe Customer Journey Analytics. They are coming out with a Adobe Customer Journey Analytics B2B edition but now its another thing to pay for/manage instead of updating the current Adobe Customer Journey Analytics edition to be more robust.

    PRPC is a BPM and Case management suite from Pega Systems. Pega is a comprehensive suite which offers a unique theme of BPM development in the market. A no-coding approach based on rules with inheritance makes Pega a very powerful product but is very difficult to learn. Even, if we go to Pegasystems for training, we have to work on a project at least for a year to have some confidence. Areas where it requires improvements: 1) One of the first things that client's IT department questions about is proprietary BLOB column in PRPC, for them, it is a disadvantage, but as we all know BLOB is what makes the highly complex data model of any BPM application fit inside to a common schema which eliminates the help of a DBA. 2) Another area of improvement is: when using the wizards to generate rules (such as the connector wizards) you have to be careful about the level of coupling between the work object's data model and the interface's data model. This can also create maintenance issues. 3) The complete Pega suite of products have a long time to develop and deploy and it can be easily done using other low-cost software.

    Pros
    Adobe
    • Customer journey analytics can be used to analyse data from a range of data sources and the data can be visualised, filtered etc. by users.
    • It also allows users to handle custom data to handle their specific needs and the data can be catered as per users need its like your own customised platform.
    • The best part is the integration users can connect this to various other platforms with one ID. This helps the user with easier usage and less hassle as everything is kind off a click away.

    Cons
    Adobe
    • Journey Canvas UI, when using a mouse with scroll wheel, it defaults to zooming in or out of the map, and not up and down if the map is very extensive.
    • When trying to break down a dimension by a second dimension and third dimension. If you are replacing the 2nd dimension breakdown, it would be beneficial to keep the 3rd breakdown instead of wiping it out.

    • Pega Customer Engagement Suite is ready to use out of the box with several features, but custom development is always needed.
    • Although new features can be quickly implemented, they have to go through a screening Business analysis process, QA screening and SCRUM based development.
    • Pega eliminates the need for custom code, but there are rare cases where an specific requirement has little to no support from Pega, and implementing custom code can break OOB functionality and make the system unstable.

    It's the most customizable and flexible analytics tool I've used. While the tool can be slow and clunky at times, the value it provides far outweighs those issues. Being able to bring offline data and merge with web data to combine in one place is where clients need to be get the most success out of their data

    Usability
    Adobe
    Users of Adobe Analytics will be pleased to note Adobe Customer Journey Analytics's ability to perform non-destructive changes to data variables (so long, processing rules). Users familiar with Adobe Analytics will immediate adopt Adobe Customer Journey Analytics without a large amount of onboarding or training. That said, users without prior exposure to Adobe products will face a steep learning curve if they are migrating from another BI tool.

    For the most part, CJA is available. There are instances where the product is experiencing an outage but I haven't found this to be super frequent to the point where it really impedes my work

    Good enough tools and offline support. We had a model of "hypercare" that was mostly good, sometimes not good. But that was more personality/people based, rather than established processes. Overall the support was timely and effective

    Should be staged differently. It should be Do online stuff, get basic skills/qual. Then do "homework" type tasking, then come to class with an instructor. We got the traditional "start from 0, then step 1, then step 2..." training. This usually saps energy/focus. All training should be like a lab/practice session. If someone needs information or basic knowledge ... put it in a elearning, FAQ, job aid, or resource page.

    Should have more of this for the 101-level stuff. No one needs a Zoom class covering the basics. I need a "guide on the side" when I'm learning new stuff. I want support while I practice.

    So far, it is hard to see the advantage of CJA over GA4. However I have not had enough experience and training yet to be sure. Also, we have not taken full advantage of CJA yet. Another tool we use is Microsoft Clarity, which (for a free service) is quite powerful.

    You have the ability to create 'user groups' with different levels of access in CJA. We helped set this up for a large organiztion where they had marketers, executives, devs and analysts all having different levels of access to use CJA but with the appropriate guardrails in place for each user group. It worked out really well for their organization.
