Amperity vs. BlueConic

I think Custora is a great fit for B2C companies that are trying to take their relationship marketing programs to the next level and outside of basic segmentation. It's a great platform to consolidate all customer, order history, and campaign history type data into one platform to obtain a 360 degree view of the customer. Additionally I would say, if an organization is resource constrained from an analytics perspective, the platform also makes great sense to invest in. It provides out of the box predictive analytics, and custom lifecycle triggers to align a retention marketing program around. Outside of the upfront work to get the platform up and running, it's very marketer friendly to utilize

Where you are looking for agility and product placement - this is a great product. We were able to move $750k in product in a month due to the pure agility in offering more targetted discounts to users at the right moment. If you use the software correctly - this is like giving your core website experience steriods to offer users the right products at the right time. This shouldn't, however, replace comprehensive funnel testing. Think of it more like hyper offer-management service

• BlueConic's technology and interface is second to none. They excel at taking potentially difficult tasks and making them easy for users to accomplish without having to stretch the platform's limits or reach out to customer support.
• The way BlueConic integrates with websites almost seems like magic; by placing a single tag you're able to track almost everything and deploy website personalization.
• BlueConic releases frequent updates to the platform, like new integrations to other platforms and different tools for tracking data.

• Currently there are limitations with the number of personas that can be built in the instance, it would be great to have more flexibility here
• We occasionally see issues with lists delivered to our ESP from the platform. Not a major problem, but could be an area of improvement

• They should have the ability to port data beyond O&O properties. This is likely more complex than I make it seem, but a deal w/ a DMP to be able to do so would likely solve the issue.
• Could have some more "out of the box" APIs.
• WOuld be great if they had in-house consultants that could come and help set-up best practices with your other existing partnerships (this would be a HUGE ask though; places like Salesforce charge thousands for such services).

Amperitiy's data model is much more refined compared to the competition which makes it ideal for firms looking for a no-nonsense CDP. However, it lacks campaigns and delivery features when compared to some other CDP providers like mParticle and Clevertap. The pricing is good and the usage-based pricing ensures that even small to mid-sized teams can afford it. Support can be improved though.

BlueConic is more lightweight and allows for more unique experiences at the same time. Again - this isn't meant to perfect the core UX of your site, but sit on top to deliver unique experiences to control offer management and close rates.
