Unifying all Adobe products and journeys. Omnichannel marketing. We wish it were easier to build emails, but it requires coding. I think once we get more training and use cases, we will be able to leverage it more effectively and get more out of it. We have other Adobe tools to use with it.

If you want your emails delivered to people's inboxes instead of spam, this ain't it. Not sure if it's their fault at all or if it's just that spammers are more likely to use lower-cost products and thus ruin it for others?

Pros
  • Integration with other AEP products.
  • Easy build emails and journeys as long as there aren't complex integrations from AEM.
  • Integration with AEM to see what AEM Content fragments are in use in what journeys.

  • I am highly impressed with its Automation feature. It is very useful to get more responses out of my whole campaign.
  • Its data import feature to create subscriber lists is also very advanced. It removes duplicates in my data.
  • Email deliverability is very accurate.

Cons
  • Intuitive UI design / Ease of accessibility for users with limited experience/subject knowledge.
  • Analytics integration is difficult to navigate.
  • My organization is having a difficult time adopting this platform across all divisions due to resistance to the new technology (accuracy, etc.).

  • Deliverability/open rates are extremely low compared to other providers. IE: I was getting 50-60% open rates with most providers and 6.5% with Sender.

Usability
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

Adobe Analytics is head and shoulders about journey analytics. It’s simple an easy to use. It gives you the most accurate real-time data. It’s also the best reporting platform out there in the market. It was so easy to sign up and start using it for our internal reports. Journey optimization uses some of the reporting data but it never shows journey in one go. There is lot of initial setup to do.

Return on Investment
  • Improved customer experience, allowing you to more confidently target customers with greater precision.
  • Ability to run multiple journeys at the same time based on targeted audiences, instead of blindly performing segmentation and targeting.
  • The interface fonts and icons are sometimes small and may require drilling down to several levels to configure a journey flow. E.g., Applying the right filter when sending an email with the right matching key requires multiple clicks, driving deeper into different levels of schema attributes.
