    BlueConic
    Where you are looking for agility and product placement - this is a great product. We were able to move $750k in product in a month due to the pure agility in offering more targetted discounts to users at the right moment. If you use the software correctly - this is like giving your core website experience steriods to offer users the right products at the right time. This shouldn't, however, replace comprehensive funnel testing. Think of it more like hyper offer-management service

    I would recommend Salesforce Data Cloud as an 8 because it is great for keeping track of customer and sale information, it is easy to use, it is easy to generate reports and it is user friendly. However, it is very expensive and does not integrate with other CRMs well

    Pros
    BlueConic
    • BlueConic's technology and interface is second to none. They excel at taking potentially difficult tasks and making them easy for users to accomplish without having to stretch the platform's limits or reach out to customer support.
    • The way BlueConic integrates with websites almost seems like magic; by placing a single tag you're able to track almost everything and deploy website personalization.
    • BlueConic releases frequent updates to the platform, like new integrations to other platforms and different tools for tracking data.

    Cons
    BlueConic
    • They should have the ability to port data beyond O&O properties. This is likely more complex than I make it seem, but a deal w/ a DMP to be able to do so would likely solve the issue.
    • Could have some more "out of the box" APIs.
    • WOuld be great if they had in-house consultants that could come and help set-up best practices with your other existing partnerships (this would be a HUGE ask though; places like Salesforce charge thousands for such services).

    Usability
    BlueConic
    I think without a bit of training and knowledge it would be hard to walk right into a role or a task inside of BlueConic - it is kind of hard to comprehend everything that is available and all of the options. The language inside of BlueConic is also very different than other things in the industry, so it was hard to understand what it would line up with.

    I would rate Salesforce Data Cloud's usability a 9 because I do think it is very easy to use. You can easily create new contacts, add notes to contacts, add house information, generate reports, create workflows, etc. You can even have it schedule marketing emails to customers to auto send an email for holidays like Christmas, New Years, etc. It is very user friendly and helps to create a nice customer journey with it all in once place.

    Alternatives Considered
    BlueConic
    BlueConic is more lightweight and allows for more unique experiences at the same time. Again - this isn't meant to perfect the core UX of your site, but sit on top to deliver unique experiences to control offer management and close rates.

    They are quite similar but it was a decision made amongst other stakeholders as well so I can’t justify the reason from my own department but as I understand salesforce allows better integration and since our CRM is already on salesforce it makes sense for us to unify at all.
