N/A
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…N/A

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 to campaigns and smaller task teams of less than 100. For these sizes, the group conversations work well, and the ability to search conversations and multimedia is perfect for finding previous information. For larger groups, information could very easily get lost, and requires a break-up into groups that would defeat the purpose of such a group chat.

  • Populating your library with new tags is simple whether you're duplicating an existing tag or creating an entirely new one.
  • Creating the firing conditions for a tag.
  • Adding users to different groups with limited or full admin permissions.
  • If you know JavaScript, you shouldn't have an issue with assigning values to the proper variables once your data layer is set up for each page and/or action.

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.

  • Placing quotes around variable names in the Tag Attributes, but not in the Event Handlers has caused me to mess up more than once.
  • Being able to search the account for all instances of certain text would be very helpful (e.g., search for s.eVar30 to find all places where I set that SiteCatalyst variable).

Because of all of the previous benefits that I mentioned, GM has mandated that any DSP that we use for their campaigns must be integrated with BrightTag. Therefore we will have to use BrightTag for all future GM business

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!

Based on the features and current usage. It shows some buggy pages plus the service and support is really very slow. The updates are not regular and company needs to work on that. The usability is good and reporting of tags is accurate which is the best part. The pricing of the product is good and can be used by organizations of all sizes.

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

Support is really slow and it takes days to resolve an issue. Plus we have to inquire regularly for the status of resolution. Company should definitely work towards that

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.

Most of the tag solutions I've worked with were not nearly as robust. Most systems will let you load another tag not directly placed on the site, but none provide all the different firing levers that BT does

  • Wonderful for ensuring we meet our logistical and record-keeping requirements
  • Negative at being the best at quality-of-life options, like specific muting
  • Great at allowing a casual work environment in having chats for memes, pets, etc.
