    It is well-suited when we are running a digital campaign, we are able to take the standard campaign metrics (impressions, CTR, etc.) and break them out by specific brands, device type, campaign variation, etc. It allows us to break down into the granular specifics of where we should iterate the campaign and make improvements/adjustments.

    Board is a useful tool with a great set of features. We migrated from human apps to board and we find it relatively fast in search results and better-managed threads and forums. There are some areas, such as UI and interactions which could be improved but overall a great product. The learning section is also pretty good.

    Pros
    Adobe
    • Customer journey analytics can be used to analyse data from a range of data sources and the data can be visualised, filtered etc. by users.
    • It also allows users to handle custom data to handle their specific needs and the data can be catered as per users need its like your own customised platform.
    • The best part is the integration users can connect this to various other platforms with one ID. This helps the user with easier usage and less hassle as everything is kind off a click away.

    • The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate
    • You don't need programming knowledge to create dashboards which is a great flex for non-technical users
    • You can seamlessly convert large, raw, and complex data to meaningful reports to visualize better and plan to act accordingly
    • The financial forecasting that Board provides post-analysis is truly reliable

    Cons
    Adobe
    • When you come from the Google Analytics environment, where the dashboards are out of the box and built for you, it is a shock to go to a system where you have to build your own. This is especially true, if you are in an enterprise organization that has rolled out Adobe Customer Journey Analytics across all domains, but has not provided support to build dashboards.
    • It would be great to have more out of the box dashboards or templates provided to all users. Not sure if this is too complex for an enterprise use case.

    • Board BI tool has a steep learning curve and can be challenging for a new user to reach to board's full capacity.
    • We have to use a windows scheduler to schedule data import tasks; it would be great if Board could provide its own scheduler.

    It's the most customizable and flexible analytics tool I've used. While the tool can be slow and clunky at times, the value it provides far outweighs those issues.

    Board is a fantastic product for swift BI solution delivery when compared with its peers. Ease of use, support and integration with Microsoft Office Addin open a wide horizon of opportunities for further enhancements to solutions. Easy bespoke app development capabilities make it a winner for us. BOARD is just like a white canvas, it lets you explore your creative side while designing and delivering a solution

    From a user perspective, Board is quite simple to use. You
    can evaluate the presentation of the data, the navigation, the configuration of
    the users, the selection of the data etc ... It would have a better rating if
    it were even more intuitive as regards the construction of a project, starting
    from the database, to the info-cubes, to entities, to data acquisition
    procedures from other servers.

    Performance

    Adobe Customer Journey Analytics does really well running reports. As data or date ranges get bigger, it sometimes has issues running. When there are a lot of freeform tables used, it takes a long time for data to load. There are time where Adobe Customer Journey Analytics is down during work hours, which makes it hard to do work in the workspace.

    Good enough tools and offline support. We had a model of "hypercare" that was mostly good, sometimes not good. But that was more personality/people based, rather than established processes. Overall the support was timely and effective

    The only time I needed assistance was due to a problem in
    the prints: the colors of the brochures as they were on the screen were not
    reproduced in the print, but a series of standard colors were reproduced. This
    fact made colored numbers on a colored background illegible. From the
    assistance they confirmed that it was a problem of version 10.2 that occurred
    when leaving the brochures with the default colors proposed by Board. To obtain
    the desired colors, they had to be personalized ... I didn't like the solution
    very much and the technician who recommended it didn't like me either, but they
    would have solved the problem with the following versions. In any case, the
    assistance was quick and effective even if not exactly efficient.

    Should be staged differently. It should be Do online stuff, get basic skills/qual. Then do "homework" type tasking, then come to class with an instructor. We got the traditional "start from 0, then step 1, then step 2..." training. This usually saps energy/focus. All training should be like a lab/practice session. If someone needs information or basic knowledge ... put it in a elearning, FAQ, job aid, or resource page.

    The problem of user profiling in our context is certainly
    quite complex. The complexity is given by the fact that the company is divided
    territorially into logistic points of sale, but at the same time they are
    virtually divided into divisions (or specific implementation areas) and points
    of sale of competence. The same operator can have access to data at different
    logistic sales points, sales points of competence and divisions.

    Board has been more complete when compared to Anaplan. Although I didn't participate in the buying decision of any of those products I have used both and by far Board just has more features. It's more than a CPM, it's BI and CPM put together. If I had to make a choice now it would be Board.

    You have the ability to create 'user groups' with different levels of access in CJA. We helped set this up for a large organiztion where they had marketers, executives, devs and analysts all having different levels of access to use CJA but with the appropriate guardrails in place for each user group. It worked out really well for their organization.

    • As a consultant specializing in implementation, this has been very good for my business objectives.
    • My clients have found it very useful, as long as they receive training and support on how to use it. I have worked at organizations where it is not properly utilized because people are "afraid" to learn it.
    • It has delivered key insights for organizations, leading to improvements in their site design and conversion funnel.
