Accredify vs. Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform vs. Twilio Segment

In our case, we decided to use accredify for the verification of our certificates. Currently, it is mainly being for contractual agreement, and it is still very new, but given the results from our tests and our issues, we believe accredify will do it well. Possibly the use could be expanded to HR and other departments. Time will tell.

In any scenario where we have a unique offline and online 'Person ID,' we are able to see great results with profile stitching within CDP. In cases where we do not have a unique Person ID between datasets, we find ourselves at a point where we would need to change our architecture to have the same Person ID to see results.

Best suited: - Merging emails coming from: Facebook leads forms, Unbounce or landing pages forms, Google forms, any other kind of lead generation tool and bundling all that information together for a single user "profile". - Passing events generated in multiple applications by the same user (product selected in web, product discarded in cart, etc) and delivering those events into other applications (like a CRM) Less appropriate: - Reading/updating data directly from segment from a frontend application

• Certification
• Ease of use.
• Fast startup.

• Real time segmentation and profiling on high volume of customer data
• Integration of various customer data sources, ranging from CRM, Web Analytics, EDL and other custom sources
• Data governance of customer data in the platform, down to attribute based access controls
• Activation across paid media, marketing automation and experience optimization platforms
• Easy to use interface for marketers

• Multi-platform. Segment has easy integrations in many different web, backend, and app platforms/frameworks. We use the Segment SDK in Android and iOS as well as our node.js backend.
• Segment is fairly affordable for early-stage companies that are trying out different analytics software. The "developer" plan is free and is suitable for most companies with products that have a small user base.
• The UI is great! It is extremely intuitive and easy-to-learn, and this made it take very little time to integrate this software into our analytics and marketing workflows.

Incentivized

• A small team, like a large company, sometimes can be difficult to get in touch with. But considering their size they do good.
• Possibility to expand the verification to more document types and files. The potential could be huge and use cases are large in our company.

Incentivized

• Some features that are not yet released to all customers are necessary to manage cases like device sharing
• The methodology of how data is stored and manage is relatively unique and requires some ramp-up to fully understand
• There are some areas, like deduplication, where the platform doesn't provide the flexibility one would expect

Incentivized

• More and richer sources. For example, MailChimp is a source but the data you get from MailChimp is quite limited. I ended up writing my own scripts to take better advantage of MailChimp's API because Segment's integration was lacking.
• Better examples on how to set up event tracking. Pageview tracking is easy enough, but it would be nice if they had a sample app and corresponding code for it and showed you, via Git commits, how to add various kinds of events.

As I mentioned earlier, there are many reasons such as preparing a unified customer profile so you can easily evaluate your customers, generating segments or audiences for similar types of customers based on city, country, or attributes, and targeting them for campaigns. You can also create individual personalized journeys based on the data available at the customer level.

Activation - great Segmentation - in UI, there should be the possibility of writing advanced code Tags. Both Mobile and Desktop Data Ingestion - might be pain in the ass. Changing one customer attribute is time-consuming. It should be some super admin or some feature. One user can change some customers' attributes easily. Data Transformation - Maybe there are some modules for that in AJO?

Over the period it took us to set up, we kept going back to their enablement team to help us with the setup, and they were always ready and were very helpful in the entire process. Even with their documentation, they took the time out to help us work through the process. We've never had a message/email unanswered for more than an hour on working days.

It does everything the rest of them do but better. Stop wasting time and money. Get started now to improve future opportunities and secure the data you have before it’s too late.

Its my favorite tool in the entire Adobe Experience Platform ecosystem. I thought that its important to be connected with your customers and the best way to do it its to have a really good description to reveal what they like and prefer, that's the most important thing, so that's why I like Adobe Real-Time CDP

We chose Twilio Segment for the good API integration and node resources, I would use Ontraport again, particularly if I didn't have the requirements for API and development/platform integration. Certainly the set up and management is easy and seamless with both the API and the user interface to use depending on circumstances and requirements.

• Fraud can be costly to detect, but with accredify it has changed.
• If we can just avoid one case of document tampering and thereby avoid a legal suit or a fraud the costs of Accredify are already a good investment.
• We have a good IS a team, but the implementation of new software and training of personnel afterward is always a costly thing. However, with Accredify we can focus on our own core competencies - that is for some of our colleagues a very nice change.

Incentivized

• Improved ability to target users across different marketing DSPs
• Increased click and conversion rate for Adobe Target
• Lowered opt out and bounce rates for email
• Decreased time to value on audience segmentation

Incentivized

• Segment has enabled us to get a full view of our front end activity, join it to our back-end activity, and get full visibility into our funnels and user activity.
• Segment lets us send events to ad tools with a full audit trail so all the numbers line up.
• Segment also brings data from other sources into our data warehouse, saving our data engineering time from building commodity connectors.
