    The Adobe Experience Platform is well suited for companies that are maturing or have matured in their digital offerings and are looking for very sophisticated tools to elevate to the next level. It's also for well resourced teams, both financially and head count to take advantage of the deep functionality and integrations.

    In any scenario where we have a unique offline and online 'Person ID,' we are able to see great results with profile stitching within CDP. In cases where we do not have a unique Person ID between datasets, we find ourselves at a point where we would need to change our architecture to have the same Person ID to see results.

    • Some features that are not yet released to all customers are necessary to manage cases like device sharing
    • The methodology of how data is stored and manage is relatively unique and requires some ramp-up to fully understand
    • There are some areas, like deduplication, where the platform doesn't provide the flexibility one would expect

    It helps faster deal cycles, higher win rated and a lot better prioritisation of leads. The churn rate is low this leads to a higher lifetime value. All decisions are now impacted with the real time data provided by Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform. It is very useful in increasing average revenue per customer hence this rating is well justified for the product

    Overall I really like the Adobe Experience Cloud after a couple years of figuring out various tools. They are extremely powerful. The time commitment to learn them is high since it's not a tool you can easily begin using without much training.

    Activation - great Segmentation - in UI, there should be the possibility of writing advanced code Tags. Both Mobile and Desktop Data Ingestion - might be pain in the ass. Changing one customer attribute is time-consuming. It should be some super admin or some feature. One user can change some customers' attributes easily. Data Transformation - Maybe there are some modules for that in AJO?

    Adobe has support at all levels and for each product but beyond tool questions you'll often be told they can help but it requires some paid consulting hours. So you either hire Adobe consultants or find 3rd part consultants who know their products well.
