We use BlueConic (BC) to track our users and understand their behavior. We also recently implemented them as our paywall, which seems to be working beautifully (and looks great too)! So, we are using it across the organization as it plays a vital role in our business model/strategy for digital users.
Pros
Segments users by unique "listeners" you the user set up.
Captures data in real-time.
Easy to use your data easily once its been captured. You can use it for ad-targeting, surveys, etc.
Their customer service team and engineers are awesome. You have an idea? They'll make it a reality...
Cons
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).
Likelihood to Recommend
SO, my recommendation is 100% on what you are trying to accomplish. If you are a publisher with a paywall- go for it! If you are in eComm, I'd say go for it. Truth is, you can't really hack it in today's word without first-party data, and of all the solutions out there, BlueConic has been the most affordable and easy to work with.
