Likelihood to Recommend
Definitely in highly regulatory verticals. Tealium Customer Data Hub has the edge compared to its competitors when it comes to working in those spaces. I would also recommend it for marketing teams who have some IT support, but not a huge tech team that is able to support them in some sort of custom integrations. But are looking to quickly stand up a tool and start seeing returns quickly.

Signal becomes as flexible as any other tag management solution if you're able define the data layer requirements clearly to your development team. The interface is very outdated if you're coming from Google Tag Manager. You might have to know some sort of JavaScript if you plan to make changes to the properties of some tags.

Pros
  • Simple tag management that is tough to beat. So many solutions that are incredibly simple to setup and gather data for.
  • Security around the data is key and Tealium excels in this area.
  • The speed impact of the tag setup is key to optimizing and allowing our web properties to run more effectively, which is a better experience for the end user.

  • Tag management - its very easy to place and configure 3rd party tags
  • Its easy to adjust firing rules, so your tag loads once per user or once a day.

Cons
  • Audiences—don't they technically exist in Tealium? They are just streamed—no count, no backfill, etc.
  • Working backward to identify issues involves lots of clicking in the UI, going from audience to audience attribute, badge to event attribute, and so on.
  • You have to wait for a Real-Time event to see the payload. There is no sample or other option.

  • UI was a little clunky, with the initial homepage not particularly appealing
  • Muting notifications on large chats can only be done for set, not custom, intervals
  • Notifications would frequently show up more than once, a rather annoying habit

Likelihood to Renew
I already know that my company has no plans to discontinue use of Tealium. We are heavily reliant on it due to a huge number of product teams and developers we would have to work with to place tags across many pages. Tealium is already there on the pages, and our application/product teams are familiar with how to integrate it. It is just the simplest way to ensure that new data requirements are implemented in a timely manner.

We are deeply ingrained in BrightTag and very pleased with its performance, but there is always the possibility that another tool with features we have not considered or are even aware of may come along that makes transitioning to a new platform a worthwhile endeavor (perhaps one that integrates A/B Testing or a Personalization engine into the TMS framework)

Usability
Tealium iQ Tag Management System does exactly what it is intended for, it manages vendortags. Changes can be made to websites and apps in minutes. The frontend is well structured, updates are easy to carry out, and Tealium support is available at all times.

Based on the features and current usage. It shows some buggy pages plus the service and support is really very slow. The updates are not regular and company needs to work on that. The usability is good and reporting of tags is accurate which is the best part. The pricing of the product is good and can be used by organizations of all sizes.

Support Rating
No vendor has ever delivered the level of support that we regularly get from Tealium. Whenever we run into an issue, we submit a ticket and always hear back within a few hours (or sooner based on the urgency noted in the ticket). Tealium support often helps me to customize the tags or pixels we set, they help to solve problems such as "Why did data suddenly stop being collected?" and more.

Support is really slow and it takes days to resolve an issue. Plus we have to inquire regularly for the status of resolution. Company should definitely work towards that

Implementation Rating
Implementation had some bumps in the road and it was new for all of us, but for the most part, it was easier than many other implementations we've done with other technologies.

Alternatives Considered
All of these products they have the final usage of these technologies is all of the times around using Insider. For example, you have a CDP capability, but in order to activate to their own digital channels like WhatsApp or SMS or personalization on site, and you have other technologies that do the same and Tealium what makes different, it's all about the data. They are very neutral and it's the main difference between Tealium and the other technologies.

I believe Slack does work better than Signal for PC and office-oriented teams, but found that signal was the go-to for a rapidly growing and dismantling structure like a campaign. The Mobile interface, and the use of cell phone numbers rather than emails as a form of verification and a basis of identity makes it perfect for a campaign environment

Never had an issue, scales as we use it.

Return on Investment
  • Return on investment is always questioned at our company across our Tealium Customer Data Hub suite. How can we trace back that ROAS has improved because we integrated a new connector through Tealium Customer Data Hub. I think knowing that would be helpful.
  • Since we have a small team with limited resources, Tealium Customer Data Hub has been really helpful in adding tags/connectors with ease. This in turn, has allowed us to have more time working on things outisde of tagging.

  • BrightTag has increased employee efficiency.
  • BrightTag has enabled us to cut down the number of times that specific pages are tagged. Tagging a site numerous times slows a page down thus decreasing the user experience.
  • Brighttag has allowed us to easy collect and house tag information, therefore increasing our customer service.
