Adobe Experience Platform Launch is a new "next-gen" tag management solution. Like Adobe's other tag management product, Dynamic Tag Manager, Launch is based on the acquisition of Satellite from Search Discovery in 2013. But Launch is built to facilitate a more open, integrated marketing technology stack. Launch plays nicely with Adobe and non-Adobe products.

It's great for reporting and putting data in one place. Building real-time profiles can help a business run better by understanding what is going on with its customers. I do not believe this would be as necessary for small businesses but would be good to implement with growth. I also wouldn't recommend this if you weren't going to put the work into fully utilizing their features.

Cons
Adobe
  • The right amount of video tutorials.
  • While using Luma for learning purposes, it's hard because we do not have access to edit the script at the code end. If this is shown how we can extract data while we are learning it makes people learn faster.

  • I find the interface a bit complex and challenging to navigate. I remember having difficultly grasping it completely especially when I was new to the system. Simplifying the user experience would make it more accessible for everyone, making tasks quicker and more intuitive.
  • integrating it seamlessly with other software and platforms could enhance its functionality. I would really really love an integration between BenchMark email marketing tool.

Usability

Adobe Experience Platform Launch is a difficult product to learn but once learnt, easy to jump from beginner to experienced level user very quickly. Every area of the product seems designed for the user, which translates to it being very usable and flexible. Product settings are always where you expect them to be, which makes things a lot easier to get used to!

We mostly work with the API which is of very good quality and is well documented.However, some of our success is also due to having very talented developers on staff, and also understanding advanced gamification design. The tool supports a talented team! It won't actually do everything for you automatically.

There are some latency issues. The 24 hour caching problem mentioned earlier is a problem. Sometimes the Gigya system makes two calls instead of a single call if we go directly to the social platform. For this reason, it's sometimes more efficient to go direct rather than use Gigya.

We have had multiple instances of help from Gigya to get our custom implementation working, including detailed technical assistance to a third party. We have found Gigya to be thorough and timely in their responses to all queries, which are consistently excellent.

They trained me in a train the trainer model. I then trained the internal team. Total training was about two hours, with an additional two hours for system setup.
Training was maybe a little thin, but the system was fairly easy to learn and this wasn't really a problem.

There was a bit of a learning curve in the beginning, and perhaps we were unclear on some of our requirements. Once they figured out what we wanted though, things went pretty smoothly. Just some minor hiccups in the beginning

I was not actively involved in the process of actually buying the tool. What I know is that Adobe Experience Platform Launch covered "the majority of our tickbox." Moreover, our responsible people really enjoyed the discussions with the people from adobe and were reassured that what we need can and will be delivered on the agreed dates.

Resources and specialized IT personnel is needed for the effective administration and deployment of Informatica Customer 360. This resource-intensive for smaller organizations. Although Informatica has the ability to integrate, the process of setting up and establishing these integrations can be difficult and may call for programming experience.
