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.

For more suited, I'll say highly regulated industry around data like healthcare, insurance, finance, where Tealium can be very helpful and for clients that don't have much different channels where they interact with their clients. So companies that only sell on internet and are a small company, I can see Tealium being the best usage for these clients, for these companies.

Cons
Adobe
  • 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

  • Audiences—don't they technically exist in Tealium? They are just streamed—no count, no backfill, etc.
  • Working backward to identify issues involves lots of clicking in the UI, going from audience to audience attribute, badge to event attribute, and so on.
  • You have to wait for a Real-Time event to see the payload. There is no sample or other option.

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.

I already know that my company has no plans to discontinue use of Tealium. We are heavily reliant on it due to a huge number of product teams and developers we would have to work with to place tags across many pages. Tealium is already there on the pages, and our application/product teams are familiar with how to integrate it. It is just the simplest way to ensure that new data requirements are implemented in a timely manner.

Usability
Adobe
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?

The support team often is so quick to respond and so helpful when it comes to working with the needs of my clients and being able to resolve potential shortcomings or technical issues or surrounding the tool. There have been times more recently that I’ve gotten more generic service rather than the tailored experience that I have come to expect.

Tealium Customer Data Hub can do it all in one. Whereas, I think by using multiple Tealium Customer Data Hubs, we can utilize what each tool is really good at. In an ideal world, we'd like to use Tealium Customer Data Hub for everything, but one thing that we struggle with is Audience Segmentation, and we are looking for a one touch solution, without a lot of the work since the data is already there.

  • There has been a near immeasurable return on customer data and improvement of our quality for our physical products due to be in tune with the customer. This has changed our way of doing things for the better to gain a better flow and overall workplace experience.
  • A negative is that Tealium AudienceStream becomes harder to manuever and use data analytics for when a database has been existing for a fairly large amount of time. It goes from an agile ship to a huge vessel that takes many components to be able to move.
