Likelihood to Recommend
If you notice that a certain ad is performing well during a flash sale and want to increase the budget immediately, Amazon Marketing Cloud won’t provide real-time data. You’ll have to use Amazon Ads Manager instead. Example is that with me client has a low ad budget or a small number of customers, Amazon Marketing Cloud might not provide enough data to give you meaningful trends or recommendations. If you find a group of high-value customers using Amazon Marketing Cloud, you can’t just click a button to target them directly in Amazon DSP. Instead, you have to manually export the data and upload it elsewhere.

Usability
likely because while it offers powerful insights, it has challenges in ease of use. Amazon Marketing Cloud requires SQL knowledge for queries, making it difficult for non-technical users. Unlike traditional marketing tools with simple dashboards, Amazon Marketing Cloud demands manual data extraction and analysis, slowing down decision-making.
Another usability challenge is the lack of real-time data, which makes it hard to optimize campaigns instantly. If you want to adjust ad spend based on immediate performance, Amazon Marketing Cloud’s batch processing delays insights. Additionally, there’s no direct audience activation, meaning you have to export data manually instead of seamlessly applying insights within Amazon DSP.
However, Amazon Marketing Cloud is highly valuable for in-depth analysis, audience segmentation, and attribution modeling. With better user-friendly features like pre-built reports, automation, and real-time analytics, usability could improve significantly, making it easier for businesses to maximize its potential.

Alternatives Considered
I have compared Google Ads Data Hub and Meta's Advanced Analytics with Amazon Marketing Cloud. Amazon Marketing Cloud is most notable for its insights into the deep Amazon ecosystem, Google for cross-platform tracking, and Meta for extensive social engagement analysis. AMC's privacy-safe query-based model is powerful but SQL-skilled, in contrast to Google's more accessible UI.
