Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform vs. Ensighten Pulse

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.

Ensighten Pulse is particularly well suited to the type of work Ovative/group does in the marketing attribution space, but is also very well suited to drive the data collection efforts for personalization on-site as well. Pulse is also extremely well suited in scenarios where a client may want to track individuals across many domains or touchpoints

• Real time segmentation and profiling on high volume of customer data
• Integration of various customer data sources, ranging from CRM, Web Analytics, EDL and other custom sources
• Data governance of customer data in the platform, down to attribute based access controls
• Activation across paid media, marketing automation and experience optimization platforms
• Easy to use interface for marketers

• Pulse is the ultimate tracking tool. Almost anything you want to do with it is enabled and capable.
• Pricing for Pulse was very aggressive as an early buyer.
• The support team for Pulse is always very quick to respond and adapt their product roadmap to meet customer feedback.

• 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

• Documentation - While Ensighten Pulse itself and the implementation process of the core components are documented rather well, the peripheral implementation steps, i.e. how to use this with a specific marketing platform, are not well documented. That said, the Ensighten support channels have been hugely beneficial in making these steps happen.

As I mentioned earlier, there are many reasons such as preparing a unified customer profile so you can easily evaluate your customers, generating segments or audiences for similar types of customers based on city, country, or attributes, and targeting them for campaigns. You can also create individual personalized journeys based on the data available at the customer level.

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?

• We identified over 20M impressions that should have been re-allocated due to frequency caps and have utilized our modeling to push more adaptive frequency caps by marketing message through our ad network.
• We will pilot a program where we block 'saturated' users and those exhibiting 'bot-like' behavior through our ad networks to further improve our advertising effectiveness.
• We do have a resource cost in maintaining a separate server and a systems developer to maintain our environment. Where I'd prefer to pay for a full SaaS application and utilize that resource in another area.
