Adobe Experience Platform vs. Adobe Experience Platform Launch

I think AEP is ahead of its competitors when it comes to hosting customer data for various use cases. It’s seamless integration with other Adobe products like AJO or CJA make it a very compelling overall package.

It may not be very applicable for smaller or medium sized businesses. There could be an opportunity for Adobe to bring in a trimmed down version for such customers.

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.

• 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.

AEP works very well with the entire Adobe suite of products and services making it a must-have product from a marketing standpoint. The fact that you are able to understand the customer and have a better impact with the customer journey is really helpful. We have also used AEP data to cross sell products to our customers through email campaigns/ offers m/ advertising etc but to have all this data stored in a single place makes it very convenient.

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.

Adobe has support at all levels and for each product but beyond tool questions you'll often be told they can help but it requires some paid consulting hours. So you either hire Adobe consultants or find 3rd part consultants who know their products well.

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.

In most cases we have found Adobe products to be harder to use but offer a lot more capabilities. In some cases Adobe products are missing key, basic functions. Adobe does offer a more holistic toolset rather than buying pieces of the puzzle and having to integrate on your own but that results in paying for a higher price tag.

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.
