    AJO is best suited for advanced Martech teams who are already bought into the Adobe ecosystem through the use of RTCDP, AA, AAM, etc. Organizations that are starting their Martech journey are good candidates, as well as those who are reevaluating all of their marketing channel vendors near the same time. Success in AJO is highly dependent on the number of marketing channels added. Close coordination with database teams is essential for success. Many of the offline data requirements benefit from modeling of the data. Having dedicated resources developing AJO (RTCDP)-specific views will reduce the amount of QA required to bring the solutions to market

    Very well suited for those getting started with SMS campaigns. It was easy for everyone on our team to pick up and get going without a lot of training. If you have mobile number lists in the hundreds of thousands I can see how it would be tough to manage with the lists, keywords, etc. I could be wrong as we are not in that space but that would be my assumption.

    Cons
    Adobe
    • It doesn´t keep the last search you sis in the journeys and you have to enter the search parameter every time
    • there is a window of time during the day that the audiences give out errors and you can´t see the estimates
    • I should be able to select STO in campaigns, not only in journeys
    • I should be able to select the email parameters when using campaigns

    • Easy to find resources for short codes
    • The current automation is nice for beginners but it's not terribly sophisticated for experienced users
    • Minimal integrations to this point but I'm sure more are on the way

    Usability
    Adobe
    At times, Adobe Journey Optimizer offers too many options, making things less user-friendly than I would personally prefer. As mentioned earlier, there is a tendency to encounter decision paralysis with the increase in available options. While having options is excellent, in typical Adobe fashion, too many can be overwhelming for users

    Very easy to use. Intuitive website that our entire team has been able to quickly pick up. In my opinion it is the most user friendly interface of all the software we did demos with.

    They both have their pros and cons, I feel it depends on the users that the products are targetting, SFMC is has more specialized customizations, Adobe does offer similar but require a higher technical knowledge which is not something that is provided bt the other product

    We felt SlickText was the most user friendly, budget friendly, and we liked the fact that they didn't balk at the fact we wanted to go month to month to start so we didn't end up in a long term commitment right out of the gate.

    • Multichannel onboarding journey improving the engagement of freshmen in the business, resulting in a decrease in the dropout rate.
    • Separate business of anticipation of receivables from suppliers that used to be manual and now I have connected this entire operation via the S3 connector, less manual work and significant gains in conversions and payments

    • We are receiving a click through rate anywhere between 12-20% on our renewal reminder texts
    • Those people who click have a conversion rate of around 50% which is the best of any of the campaigns we run
    • One negative could be if we start to use the tool for promotional texts then there may be a negative impact on the member experience. Need to use it in moderation
