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 includes an open API and a catalog of extensions (like an app store of pre-built integrations to other platforms) so that data can flow…

Tealium Customer Data Hub
Score 8.5 out of 10
Enterprise companies (1,001+ employees)
The Tealium Customer Data Hub powers capabilities across the data supply chain. Tealium universally collects customer data from any source including; websites, mobile applications, devices, kiosks, servers, and files. Data collected is then standardized in the data layer, which drives usage of data for customer engagement and analysis.
Adobe Experience Platform Launch, compared to the other competitors in the market, offers a better user experience due to a very intuitive interface and the ability to use many different configuration options in a straightforward manner. Also, the management of errors and …
I have experience with Adobe Launch, GTM, and also just the olden days of directly implementing analytics on a page. I even remember when Tealium Customer Data Hub first came on the market. Digital marketers like myself were skeptical back then, but after a few years working …
Tealium Customer Data Hub is the clear leader in real-time capabilities, its platform agnostic approach means that it works well with everybody and doesn't require necessary features to be built or still be on the roadmap, or require custom workarounds to function.
Tealium is a solid CDP vendor with leading capabilities when it comes to data collection and distribution in real-time (sub-sec) compared to other evaluated vendors. Tealium Customer Data Hub's ease of ingesting new data with limited additional configuration required compared …
They all have their positives and negatives. Obviously Launch provides more support for Adobe Analytics implementation and GTM for Google Analytics. Tealium can hold it's own, and it's relatively easy to use. Just wish it gives us more customization ability with Adobe Analytics.
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.
Well suited: Any company that has a variety of data interspersed across multiple systems and is trying to get a more unified understanding of their customer profile—that enriched customer view of having all these disparate data sources and wanting to bring them together in a relatively seamless manner, and then having that more nuanced understanding of the entirety of the customer and being able to action off of it. Which again, I feel like is a core marketing use case.
Activation in real time - it's really good and you can literally see the information being activated in all other technologies that my clients use, like TikTok, Facebook, Google, et cetera. At the time that a client arrives on your website, you have instant data to enrich the profiles and activate on this channel. So this is really good and it's something that Tealium give us the control in order to do that.
The other thing is that you have the power to choose what data you want to collect and what data you do not want to collect. Tealium is particularly very good on doing that.
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.
Audiences—don't they technically exist in Tealium? They are just streamed—no count, no backfill, etc.
Working backward to identify issues involves lots of clicking in the UI, going from audience to audience attribute, badge to event attribute, and so on.
You have to wait for a Real-Time event to see the payload. There is no sample or other option.
I already know that my company has no plans to discontinue use of Tealium. We are heavily reliant on it due to a huge number of product teams and developers we would have to work with to place tags across many pages. Tealium is already there on the pages, and our application/product teams are familiar with how to integrate it. It is just the simplest way to ensure that new data requirements are implemented in a timely manner.
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!
Once you understand how it works and how to implement things, it is a dream and very user friendly. There is the initial learning curve but there are oceans of helpers available to you to help you bridge that initial gap and get going. Take the time to learn it up front and you will never have any problems. And support is great and available to answer questions
They are quick to respond and are part of the reason why this resource is such a great tool. I am able to get the response and feedback I need with any issue or when trying to learn how to use a new tool properly. Really grateful for their responsiveness
The support team often is so quick to respond and so helpful when it comes to working with the needs of my clients and being able to resolve potential shortcomings or technical issues or surrounding the tool. There have been times more recently that I’ve gotten more generic service rather than the tailored experience that I have come to expect.
Implementation had some bumps in the road and it was new for all of us, but for the most part, it was easier than many other implementations we've done with other technologies.
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.
Tealium Customer Data Hub can do it all in one. Whereas, I think by using multiple Tealium Customer Data Hubs, we can utilize what each tool is really good at. In an ideal world, we'd like to use Tealium Customer Data Hub for everything, but one thing that we struggle with is Audience Segmentation, and we are looking for a one touch solution, without a lot of the work since the data is already there.
There has been a near immeasurable return on customer data and improvement of our quality for our physical products due to be in tune with the customer. This has changed our way of doing things for the better to gain a better flow and overall workplace experience.
A negative is that Tealium AudienceStream becomes harder to manuever and use data analytics for when a database has been existing for a fairly large amount of time. It goes from an agile ship to a huge vessel that takes many components to be able to move.
