    Adobe
    Journey Optimizer is really good for tracking journeys. It can tell you exactly where users are clicking, which pages they are visiting, and even link to physical location visits. It’s not well-suited for open-ended journeys where the user can take multiple paths to success. In such scenarios, it does not visualize or track the journey very well.

    Lyris LM is suited well with an organization or group that have several lists, as virtual list hosting is not represented by any other hosting company as far as I can tell.

    Pros
    Adobe
    • API based response and ability to invoke the results need via API.
    • Business friendly management of offer priority , the rule assignments.

    • Reports: extensive reporting on mailings and membership. Pre-built reports/charts include Mailings, Members, Server Performance, Web site, Purchases, Interest and Surveys. If Aurea ListManager doesn't have the built-in chart needed, you can easily create your own.
    • Easy to analyze mailings: Completed mailing can be analyzed quickly. Options include viewing any errors that may have resulted, and checking list performance, evaluating recipient actions, ( opens, click-troughs). Details can be seen on a per-recipient basis, allowing you to see exactly what happened with each message sent.
    • Discussion Lists. There are numerous list setting to customize each list.

    Cons
    Adobe
    • The email building experience could be better when integrating AEM content fragments.
    • Not great at organizing content in each area. Could make better use of metadata to limit the content the end user has to wade through.
    • Content life cycle management could be more robust.

    We will most likely not use Lyris LM for much longer. We have recently been offered to utilize a different software that better meets our needs, is current, user friendly, and has fantastic reporting capabilities.

    Usability
    Adobe
    AJO certainly requires a firm understanding of how Adobe expects data to be architected. AJO should not be an organizations first experience with an Adobe product. We benefited from ~18 months of experience with RTCDP prior to bringing on AJO. Engageable profiles, data storage, profile usage limits, all factor in when using an omnichannel solution. Marketers must be careful to bring in only the data required for business use cases, and continually evaluate these needs in the face of a changing marketing ecosystem.

    I do not rate it perfect because there are times that is not perfectly realiable, and it stops working when you need it the most, especially because the audiences take so long to evaluate and 2 times a dat to do them quickly is really not enough

    Sometimes when the manager connects to a support representative, even though the response is very immediate, they are not always able to provide a solution and we end up resolving the issue other ways

    I give it this rating of 5 because the truth is I started the training with the pages in Adobe and is far more complete and has more explanations that the online training and you can revisit it as many times as you want to, the online non live version is better

    The only thing I wanted to mention is that when going into the email edition, when adding labels, I was able to copy and paste the labels before, and now it has changed and I am no longer able to do it without editing the label itself

    Adobe Journey Optimizer takes the lead because it integrates the functionality of several disparate systems, such as Adobe Marketo Engage (content creation/campaign operations) and Adobe Analytics (data, reporting, trends, predictions), to provide a comprehensive approach to campaign coordination and delivery, through reporting and informing our future campaign strategy. All of the products we use are valuable in different contexts. Adobe Journey Optimizer is a true silver bullet for delivering the most engaging, targeted marketing & communications campaigns!

    We selected Lyris LM based on cost, the fact that we can create custom reports and the way that they handle bounced emails just to name a few, It is easy to use and we have control of who can and cannot use. With a virtual list I can create a list or take a list down at any given time without filling out a form or contact with my provider and my list looks as if it is coming from my own server @museum.com.

    • Multichannel onboarding journey improving the engagement of freshmen in the business, resulting in a decrease in the dropout rate.
    • Separate business of anticipation of receivables from suppliers that used to be manual and now I have connected this entire operation via the S3 connector, less manual work and significant gains in conversions and payments

    • Aurea as a company is mediocre with support. The former LM staff was better informed about the product.
    • LM can do almost anything you need. it's complete.
    • ROI has suffered as Aurea has not updated the product, charges a considerable amount for renewals, promises with no results.
