Adobe Experience Platform Launch is a new "next-gen" tag management solution. Like Adobe's other tag management product, Dynamic Tag Manager, Launch is based on the acquisition of Satellite from Search Discovery in 2013. But Launch is built to facilitate a more open, integrated marketing technology stack. Launch plays nicely with Adobe and non-Adobe products. It includes an open API and a catalog of extensions (like an app store of pre-built integrations to other platforms) so that data can flow…N/A

Adobe Experience Platform Launch is a tool that comes in very handy, especially for companies that use several tools from the Adobe stack (such as Adobe Analytics, Adobe Target, Adobe Audience Manager, or Adobe Experience Platform Launch) due to the out-of-the-box connector that enables the configurator to set up the corresponding integrations with just a few clicks. It is also a great tool for integrating other non-Adobe tools and making your website more dynamic. However, for companies that do not have any other Adobe tools and that are not looking into creating triggered actions on the website interface, Adobe Experience Platform Launch might not be necessary.

Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform is well suited for organisations that have extensive PII data with attributes & consumer behaviors. Also, who wants to run omnichannel customer acquisition and focus on middle- or low-funch campaigns? Also, having multiple digital assets (i.e., website, mobile application, CRM, SMS campaign channels, etc).

Cons
  • The right amount of video tutorials.
  • While using Luma for learning purposes, it's hard because we do not have access to edit the script at the code end. If this is shown how we can extract data while we are learning it makes people learn faster.

  • Some features that are not yet released to all customers are necessary to manage cases like device sharing
  • The methodology of how data is stored and manage is relatively unique and requires some ramp-up to fully understand
  • There are some areas, like deduplication, where the platform doesn't provide the flexibility one would expect

Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform quickly becomes a must-have once you are through the "build it" phase. Direct integration with a wide variety of disparate systems makes it a difficult proposition to remove once users are trained in its various systems and fully bought into the strategy behind its use. Support for a wide range of teams is helpful in adoption and continued use of Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform - everyone in data engineering, martech, frontend marketing can find a use case to pursue.

Usability
I give this rating because I feel like Adobe put the user first in all that they created and offer. It's such an extensive tool that provides so many options and editable features that I can get my work done perfectly. I also know that I will be able to get the help or feedback I need.

Activation - great Segmentation - in UI, there should be the possibility of writing advanced code Tags. Both Mobile and Desktop Data Ingestion - might be pain in the ass. Changing one customer attribute is time-consuming. It should be some super admin or some feature. One user can change some customers' attributes easily. Data Transformation - Maybe there are some modules for that in AJO?

Support Rating
The support team is always quick to respond and makes a really reasonable effort to resolve issues when they arise. I am excited to see the different ways they continue to improve and support those that leverage the application. One note I would make is having dedicated training sessions routinely to discuss anything added through patch updates. This would be beneficial.

As far as Adobe products, I've been using them for years. You can tell this is a newer product, but based on all their other technology, I believe there is much that they can do and implement in the future. I believe more people will be using this and it will become even easier to integrate in the future.

Adobe CDP is a very capable product that offers all of the features that its competitors offer and more. The only differences can be noticed while connecting with other external tools. Adobe can help easily connect with tools within its ecosystem: Analytics/Marketo/Target, etc.
