Google Cloud Dataflow vs. Tealium Customer Data Hub

Based on my experience, streaming / real time / machine learning / AI type of processing and batch processing which needs less transformation are very well suited. Work load that needs complex transformation / multiple hops gets very complicated to implement. New feature like Dataflow SQL option will come in handy for sql heavy users.

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.

• Streaming, Real time work load
• Batch processing
• Auto scaling
• flexible pricing

• 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.

Incentivized

• inbuild template options can be expanded
• more data connector options
• easy of use

• 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.

Tealium continues to impress us with their focus on innovation and continuous improvement. Their support team makes use feel as though we are their one and only client. They exceed our expectations from both a product and people perspective, so we have no reason to look elsewhere!

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.

It's been flawless as far as I am concerned.

Support has been great as far as I'm concerned. We have enhanced support with Tealium so we, for the most part, use the support to help us with any tagging needs that may be seeing issues. As soon as a ticket is created, support has always been quick to answer and find a solution for us.

Did what we needed to onboard us onto the platform

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.

I have experience with Adobe Launch, GTM, and also just the olden days of directly implementing analytics on a page. I even remember when Tealium Customer Data Hub first came on the market. Digital marketers like myself were skeptical back then, but after a few years working with Tealium Customer Data Hub, my skepticism is long gone. The other products I've worked with are fine if you only need to do one thing. But if you need to do a lot of things (which we do), I am not sure anything compares to Tealium Customer Data Hub. My work day would look very different if I had to use a different tag management system for each type of product we implement.

Like anything it could be cheaper but we still feel we get value from it.

Never had an issue, scales as we use it.

Very easy to work with and relatively cost effective

Incentivized

• cost saving from managing our own data center for ETL servers
• consumption based pricing
• with auto scaling feature, we were able to expand components to support work load

• There has been a near immeasurable return on customer data and improvement of our quality for our physical products due to be in tune with the customer. This has changed our way of doing things for the better to gain a better flow and overall workplace experience.
• A negative is that Tealium AudienceStream becomes harder to manuever and use data analytics for when a database has been existing for a fairly large amount of time. It goes from an agile ship to a huge vessel that takes many components to be able to move.
