    If you are already using multiple other pieces of the Adobe Experience Cloud stack, adobe audience manager is an easy choice. It allows for quick and easy data activation for your first and potentially brokered 2nd party data. However this product will likely be absorbed into the adobe experience platform (AEP) soon. In the end I would wait to see where adobe is truly headed with this product before investing heavily without additional heavy adobe investments.

    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.

    Pros
    Adobe
    • We are able to generate reports that provide valuable insights into potential customer behavior, allowing us to better focus our marketing efforts.
    • By allowing us to understand who are key audiences are and how they overlap with other brands and products, AAM allows us to get a fuller picture of how we should target our audience.
    • Reporting in AAM is wonderful in that it is easy to understand and exportable. The use of graphics and updates make it easier to share insights with various team members--even those with minimum experience in marketing and analytics.

    Cons
    Adobe
    • Biggest challenge we faced is teaching the use of it to our employees how to use it. The UI Should be easy and to understand for all fields.
    • The AdWords integration is not easy to do.
    • UI is sometimes slow and doesn't load Analyticals for more than 24 hours.

    • 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

    It helps faster deal cycles, higher win rated and a lot better prioritisation of leads. The churn rate is low this leads to a higher lifetime value. All decisions are now impacted with the real time data provided by Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform. It is very useful in increasing average revenue per customer hence this rating is well justified for the product

    Usability
    Adobe
    Overall usability is great, as are most of Adobe's software. Maybe a UI refresh could make it a bit easier to do advanced functions or reporting but, overall, it works very well. This is something you take for granted with Adobe solutions because when you try another vendor you realize how bad it can be.

    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?

    Support Rating
    Adobe
    AAM has good support, but the support is not as available, due to waiting time and queue. The instructions presented are available, but it navigation is not easy between pages. However, instructions are usually direct and straightforward, but any underlying thoughts or questions won’t be easily answered without support from their service.

    I personally like the Adobe Audience Manager interface and it's easier to use for beginners. It also has some features that Google does not, nor do its other competitors. It is worth the money and time spent, overall. I feel like it gives a bigger and more in-depth picture to our company's audience than other programs.

    Real time access of data Very popular so no need of marketing Customer profiles are updated immediately and easy to access multiple customer data Apt for both business to customers and business to business accounts Maintains strong focus on customer growth and standard profiles Privacy and confidentiality is better when compared to other customer data profile softwares
