We use Bloomreach - The Agentic Platform for Personalization especially for the campaign setup to understand online and offline data as part of their CDP. The ability to focus on GenAI and identify metrics like CLTV, and handling new/incoming data sets without necessary needing to process with SQL has been especially helpful. Also, we can focus on personalization and getting conversions desired by measuring ROI of campaigns.
Pros
GenAI
Dashboards
A/b testing
Cons
Limit of 10,000 rows in reporting
More reports can be run together
Likelihood to Recommend
It focuses on different personas - lost, returning, and at risk customers, to name a few without just only being dependent on workflow creation. It identifies a strategy which also helps with RFM Analysis. And in this way it is helpful for marketing automation that needs to be run automatically. Less suited for a SMB business since they may not need high level of analytics.

We use Bloomreach for marketing automation across multiple channels - push, email, sms, viber. We also use it for complex reporting on user behaviour.
Pros
Omnichannel Orchestration
CDP
360 User Profile
Cons
Too e-commerce specific
Not very good for multibrand businesses
Likelihood to Recommend
Great combo between a full CDP and omni-channel orchestration, all in one. Easy to customise through API and webhooks. The only real problem for us is that we want to keep all our customers from several brands in one project, but Bloomreach's projects are tailored for only one brand, one mobile push integration, etc. This is solvable with webhooks, ofcourse.
We are using Bloomreach for multiple scenarios, reporting, segmentation, etc. This is both within marketing, lead management in sales, and internal service scenarios where we use the collection of data to add value to the end goal of the assignment. Therefore, we are not using Bloomreach for only one purpose but for a lot of different ones. With a combination of different API connections, we are now able to support our business with a whole lot of new functionality that allows us to automate previous manual solutions.
Pros
Easy to navigate.
Great overview of data.
Good documentation.
Relatively easy to implement.
Cons
As every standard system it has its limitations.
Likelihood to Recommend
Bloomreach is well suited if you want to combine data from many different sources in your everyday work. It is obvious that the platform has its roots in e-commerce, and if you are working in a subscription-based company, you might need to do some workarounds. This has in no way made us question our choice to go with Bloomreach, as the platform in itself gives so much value in every other field. We use it for both marketing and sales management, as well as internal service scenarios.

We use Bloomreach for sending out email newsletters and automated email campaigns from re-engagement scenarios. Bloomreach has been easy to connect to other platforms in our MarTech architecture and it offers our digital marketing employees an extremely user-friendly interface for handling their day-to-day tasks. Furthermore, Bloomreach excels in being a really good fit for our centralized enterprise setup, making it easy to clone assets from a master to separate projects for localization, but still streamlining content templates.
Pros
Multi-market support
Ease of use
Data flexibility
Cons
Not able to preset settings in standard building blocks
Separate libraries for storing image assets
Missing email marketing countdown module
Likelihood to Recommend
We selected Bloomreach as personalization engine and customer data platform as we found other contenders to be a better fit to our needs in those aspects, offering more AI features, recipies and data tranformation capabilities. However, as for marketing automation you don't find a more robust, easy-to-use and flexible platform that at the same time makes collaboration across different projects easy.
We are using Bloomreach to manage our customer database, our personalized customer relation through direct communication channels as well as our ecommerce personalized product recommendation engine. We manage a dozen brands across a dozen markets and about 30 digital properties through Bloomreach personalization. We manage emails, WhatsApp, notification and SMS through the platform.
Pros
Decide at what time to reach a customer
Decide on what Channel to reach a customer
Recommend relevant product based on past purchase history
provide RFM movements reporting
Apply RFM strategies
Organize complex CRM journeys with multiple touchpoints
Cons
Reporting is hard to organize and standardized
Event monitoring important for costing is hard to predict
Designing campaigns is too manual
RFM optimization is too manual to implement
Likelihood to Recommend
Bloomreach is well suited to manage offline and online CRM database and omnichannel campaigns. It is well suited for multi market and multi brand approach and segmentation. It is less suited for non dedicated teams as it required much attention and manual setups. It is costly and is better suited for large organization.

A central location for all of our zero party data, allowing us to create business reports to look into the product performance, customer retention, business growth, as well as the ability to actively generate ROI with email campaigns, be it triggered or BAU newsletters.
The on-boarding team created a smooth journey of integration, from connecting our Shopify+ account to linking our Meta ad accounts so that we're able to incorporate ad audience building to increase the efficiency of our Paid media ad spend.
I use the platform every day as the Senior CRM Executive at [...] and the UI makes it incredibly easy to use.
Pros
The product recommendations engine allows for us to create a personalised experience for every customer across the 3m emails we send each month. This ensure that our customers remain connected to our brand.
The customer data platform attached to Bloomreach Composable Personalization Cloud provides an all-in-one solution for our business intelligence needs. Allowing up-to-date purchasing, behaviour, and engagement reporting from our email to website activity.
The ability to integrate with Meta and other paid ad formats allows for us to create a connected omnichannel experience for users, ensuring we are providing the right message, to the right person, at the right time, in the right place.
Cons
Though it has seen a mass of improvements in my time using the platform, the data platform is not always the easiest, or most intuitive to use and may require a level of teaching to understand how to use.
Reports allow for only one event to be tracked in a single report which can make it difficult to accurately review certain metrics that are relative to others (such as the opt out rate being those unsubscribed divided by those emailed).
Likelihood to Recommend
Our most effective use case of the personalisation cloud is within our Welcome email strategy where we allow the recommendation engine to suggest to users our most popular products of the last 30 days, this allows us to keep on top of seasonal trends without the need for consistent manual work to update these campaigns.
We have also tried to use this within our winback email strategy to lesser success where we have experimented with showcasing new products and bestselling options, but we have not seen the success of the Welcome series replicated across.
We use Bloomreach Composable Personalization Cloud as a customer data platform, for e-mail marketing, for segmentation, for website pop-up notifications, for voucher managment, for product recommendations but also for internal reporting. Bloomreach Composable Personalization Cloud helps us to acquire and retain new customers. In addition, we can suggest preferred products to our customers to increase our basket value and boost sales.
More weblayer options to make it easier to retrieve additional customer data

Bloomreach Composable Personalization Cloud simply offers an incredibly good compact solution.

DFS uses Bloomreach for a one stop shop to reach customers and analyse our data. We build out prospective Google audiences and marketing emails which are trigger or segmentation-based.

Reporting being easier to use and set up for those who aren't as familiar with it. It feels as though you have to do the analytics course to use it!
Some email tests aren't as easy to set up as we would like
Clever SMS campaigns can not be set up in this part of the tool but in scenarios
Jinja is difficult to crack for personalisation to flourish
Likelihood to Recommend
I would certainly recommend it as a data / customer comms platform as it's very clever the only reason for a drop in point is some areas are not user friendly and take a lot of learning/training to use i.e. reporting and analysis areas.
We use Bloomreach Commerce Experience Cloud for CRM communication. It's a flexible tool that supports the organization to be more automated and target our customers at the right time with the right message.

It's perfect to use for marketing automation and targeting customers with personalized content at the right time. It's easy to use and it's easy to integrate with other systems.
Improvements that could be made in Bloomreach Commerce Experience Cloud is the reporting function. You don't always get the exact numbers in some cases and it can be hard to track some specific parts.
