Adobe Real-Time Customer Data Platform vs. Traction Complete

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.

Traction Complete is very well suited for lead to account matching and for automatic, criteria based lead routing and processing. For example, when a lead is created, it can be matched to an account, and Traction Complete can populate account demographics like Industry or Annual Revenue. And once the lead's score reaches a certain threshold, Traction Complete can then evaluate any of the leads data (including the industry and annual revenue that the lead was previously enriched with), route the lead to a person or queue , and at the same time update the lead status and or enrich the lead with information to track funnel progression (e.g., MQL Date, Assigned Date, etc.).

• 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

Incentivized

• Lead to Account matching
• Lead Routing
• Easy to configure and maintain in visual interface
• Many advanced functions to support different types of round robin, scheduling etc.

• 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

Incentivized

• Functionality for flow version management, e.g. properties / description fields
• Popup windows for flow elements are sometimes hard to move (but could be isolated to Safari)
• Broader self-service customer portal/knowledge base (but the support and customer success functions are very good)

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.

Traction Complete continues to improve and innovate, and their staff does a great job of informing us of new functionality and how we can use it to get more value from Traction Complete. And at its core, it covers a gap inherent in Salesforce CRM - the fact that leads are a standalone object and not connected to the other main CRM objects like accounts, contacts, and opportunities. Traction Complete bridges that gap without requiring us to convert leads to contacts and degrade the data quality of the contact records. This functionality is key to a holistic process from initial inquiry to MQL, SAL, SQL, New Customer, and repeat business.

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?

It's very usable overall and much easier than using native functionality. If there is anything I'd want to improve, and I'm being critical here, there are a few minor items. 1) It would be nice if the initial load time of flows was faster, but I understand that given the number of elements we have in the assignment flow, I should not expect a two second load time. 2) It would be great if the different flow versions had fields to capture properties/attributes like a verbose description to make version control better. My sense is that it will be available in a future version. 3) When editing flows, every now and then, the pop-up windows of elements are a bit sticky on the screen when trying to move/drag them - however, I usually experience this only in Safari and am often too lazy to fire up Chrome.

The support team at Traction Complete has always been responsive, knowledgeable, and professional. They took the time to understand our business needs and helped us during the initial implementation, as well as with configuration changes when needed.

I've been part of 3 implementations, and the Traction Complete team has always met or exceeded expectations and delivered on their commitments/promises.

Its my favorite tool in the entire Adobe Experience Platform ecosystem. I thought that its important to be connected with your customers and the best way to do it its to have a really good description to reveal what they like and prefer, that's the most important thing, so that's why I like Adobe Real-Time CDP

Traction Complete offered more ease of use, less complexity, and an overall lower cost of ownership compared to other options. And while Salesforce can handle some of the automation, which requires more technical skill to configure, it does not provide the lead to account matching.

• Improved ability to target users across different marketing DSPs
• Increased click and conversion rate for Adobe Target
• Lowered opt out and bounce rates for email
• Decreased time to value on audience segmentation

Incentivized

• Faster actioning of leads by routing them to the correct user without manual review
• Improved lead segmentation based on matched accounts demographics
• Lower maintenance of lead assignment and automatic processing
