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.

For the price and the features available, Localytics is one of the best options. It is more robust in areas that we don't need it to be and overall there could be simpler flows for sending push notifications or performing actions that you need to do every week. Also, the data it sends back on how push notifications perform is basically useless. There needs to be more explanation on the impact notifications have on users. The data would always say that notifications drove less engagement but we would see engagement go up every time we sent a notification.

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.

  • The biggest thing I would like to see with Localytics is the capability for more correlations. The limited amount of correlations available does restrict the type of analyses that could be done with the data.
  • An easier interface to move data into Microsoft Excel would be very useful, rather than creating annoying workarounds.
  • More/better automatically scheduled reporting, as well as an Excel plug-in to access the data rather than being restricted to the Localytics interface.

It has been working very well, and actually it is a reliable tool for audience segmentation and everything that needs to be done for a campaign to deploy correctly

There is a lot of competition. I would renew if there isn't anything more exceptional that would justify the re-coding and implementation load costs

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.

Reliability and Availability
Adobe
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

It would take several weeks to hear back from the billing team. It took 3 months to resolve an invoice last year. Their technical support is very responsive. I would typically get a response in under 24 hrs.

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!
