Adobe Dynamic Tag Management (discontinued) vs. Firebase Crashlytics

If you're on the Adobe stack at all, you absolutely need DTM. It will make your life infinitely easier. It's so simple to update your Adobe Analytics code and have version control, and when we implemented Adobe Target, it took literally less than 15 minutes for me to do. I also think it's significantly simpler than Google Tag Manager. I went through all manner of difficulty when implementing tags on that and have not had similar problems on DTM. If you're frequently placing pixels, it's a great tool that will speed their deployment. The only situation in which I think a tag manager is not appropriate is if you have a dev with too much time on their hands. Otherwise, get a TMS and get DTM.

Crashlytics is almost a defacto standard in the Android world for tracking crashes in the field. I've used it on the last 4 Android projects I've been on. It's not as helpful on iOS' stacktraces but I'm not sure if anything would be better because iOS stack traces are from ObjC code which is not as useful as Java stacktraces.

• It is a rules based tag management system that allows the application of tracking pixels much easier than hard coding.
• By placing 2 pieces of code on the top and bottom of each page of a website, we can create rules that track certain events and relay the information back to Adobe Media Optimizer and Google analytics.
• It has simplified the coding process so one doesn't have to generate tons of gory javascript to deploy on each individual page to get tracking.

• Can get the device detail an actual state like RAM, Storage, Display Size, etc.
• Can get the class name and line number where crash occur.
• Its work in realtime so we can reduce the time of issue finding and resolution.

• It is only available with Adobe Marketing Cloud so you can't buy it as an independent product.
• It is easier to use than Google Tag Manager, but not nearly as popular.
• Whereas Google Tag Manager is free, Dynamic Tag Management must be purchased as part of Adobe Marketing Cloud.

• Sometimes UI of Firebase Crashlytics is quit difficult to understand for new users.
• There can be a proper discretion for all the features that is offered.
• There can be api crash report also.

As it interfaces so well with AMO, we shall be utilizing the DTM for any future client additions.

Because its fulfilling our basic and necessary requirements that can be an only and enough reason to renew the subscription.

It is easy to use at a basic level, however without JavaScript resource you will struggle.

Although it is a newer product to Adobe, they seem to truly care about our challenges and are very proactive in making sure that we have the most knowledgeable support available in a timely manner.

It was quite seamless with the outstanding support from our Adobe account manager.

Adobe DTM provides a more secure data analytics solution. It is customized and best used on large scale deployments of websites with pages 10,000+. The Adobe Analytics tool, once learned, is very easy to use and provides more robust, customized graphics and ability to export data to "securely" via FTP from the cloud to SQL database.

As mentioned previously, the only realistic competitor to Crashlytics is Instabug (backed by Y Combinator in the W16 class). While Crashlytics is focused on actual crashes, Instabug's main innovation is in collecting feedback from users for non-crash bugs. While non-crash bugs are a substantial category of bugs, Instabug's pricing is quite steep. As soon as you go beyond the most basic features your monthly bill spikes to $124 - $499 per month, whereas Crashlytics is 100% free (for all usage levels and all enterprise features). Based on this, I've never tried Instabug because the ROI just wasn't there.

• The key factor is that my devs are not tied up with petty things like adding JS or advertising pixels. Simple work like that can be handled by me while they work on feature development.
• Release cycle is much shorter when a dev is needed, say for a direct call rule that involves JS being written. We don't have to go through the normal release cycle and can do it on an ad hoc basis without all the rigmarole of a hot fix.

• Allows us to easily share crash data with clients.
• Provides confidence to our developers and project teams by having trust in the data that is being reported.
• Allows us to quickly and efficiently address fatal crashes.
