    If you're on the Adobe stack at all, you absolutely need DTM. It will make your life infinitely easier. It's so simple to update your Adobe Analytics code and have version control, and when we implemented Adobe Target, it took literally less than 15 minutes for me to do. I also think it's significantly simpler than Google Tag Manager. I went through all manner of difficulty when implementing tags on that and have not had similar problems on DTM. If you're frequently placing pixels, it's a great tool that will speed their deployment. The only situation in which I think a tag manager is not appropriate is if you have a dev with too much time on their hands. Otherwise, get a TMS and get DTM.

    Well suited to campaigns and smaller task teams of less than 100. For these sizes, the group conversations work well, and the ability to search conversations and multimedia is perfect for finding previous information. For larger groups, information could very easily get lost, and requires a break-up into groups that would defeat the purpose of such a group chat.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • It is a rules based tag management system that allows the application of tracking pixels much easier than hard coding.
    • By placing 2 pieces of code on the top and bottom of each page of a website, we can create rules that track certain events and relay the information back to Adobe Media Optimizer and Google analytics.
    • It has simplified the coding process so one doesn't have to generate tons of gory javascript to deploy on each individual page to get tracking.

    • Populating your library with new tags is simple whether you're duplicating an existing tag or creating an entirely new one.
    • Creating the firing conditions for a tag.
    • Adding users to different groups with limited or full admin permissions.
    • If you know JavaScript, you shouldn't have an issue with assigning values to the proper variables once your data layer is set up for each page and/or action.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • It is only available with Adobe Marketing Cloud so you can't buy it as an independent product.
    • It is easier to use than Google Tag Manager, but not nearly as popular.
    • Whereas Google Tag Manager is free, Dynamic Tag Management must be purchased as part of Adobe Marketing Cloud.

    • Placing quotes around variable names in the Tag Attributes, but not in the Event Handlers has caused me to mess up more than once.
    • Being able to search the account for all instances of certain text would be very helpful (e.g., search for s.eVar30 to find all places where I set that SiteCatalyst variable).

    Because of all of the previous benefits that I mentioned, GM has mandated that any DSP that we use for their campaigns must be integrated with BrightTag. Therefore we will have to use BrightTag for all future GM business

    It is easy to use at a basic level, however without JavaScript resource you will struggle.

    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.

    Although it is a newer product to Adobe, they seem to truly care about our challenges and are very proactive in making sure that we have the most knowledgeable support available in a timely manner.

    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

    Adobe DTM provides a more secure data analytics solution. It is customized and best used on large scale deployments of websites with pages 10,000+. The Adobe Analytics tool, once learned, is very easy to use and provides more robust, customized graphics and ability to export data to "securely" via FTP from the cloud to SQL database.

    Most of the tag solutions I've worked with were not nearly as robust. Most systems will let you load another tag not directly placed on the site, but none provide all the different firing levers that BT does

    • Wonderful for ensuring we meet our logistical and record-keeping requirements
    • Negative at being the best at quality-of-life options, like specific muting
    • Great at allowing a casual work environment in having chats for memes, pets, etc.
