Braze vs. ShopperTrak

Braze is the go-to solution for businesses that offer its services and products through apps. It is a comprehensive tool that will provide you with an easy and quick way to orchestrate conversion and engagement communications and tests. Both product and marketing teams will be able to deliver amazing InApps and Notifications without any help or supervision from tech teams and developers (tech help is needed for implementation and tool evolution only). Braze can also deliver messages to websites and through web push, however, if you do not own an app, I may suggest you pursue other CRM tools.

ShopperTrak is excellent at measuring inbound and outbound traffic. Their technology works well and is very accurate. Comparing this data to sales allows our team to see conversion and shopper to associate ratios, which help us make educated business decisions.

• Is constantly improving all its features.
• Cares a lot for the final user and its usability, in my case I'm constantly getting asked about feedback to improve several features.
• Is really easy to use, and the documentation and LAB are really helpful if you are starting with Braze.
• Has a strong community, where anyone can ask everything and other peers can contribute.

• Count inbound and outbound traffic
• Compare traffic to location specific sales.
• Detailed dashboards with at a glance actionable content.

• Braze could offer more tier based cost effective solutions for users who only integrate minimally.
• I think the the ability to understand how users patterns can be utilized is powerful but could be made more robust yet usable.
• Reporting without exporting to a CSV perhaps a more cloud-based reporting option.

• Updated end users when enhancements are implemented.
• User specific reporting.

We have direct support from our account manager and success manager practically around the clock when things come up that are urgent. They're even helping me post open roles for my team on internal job boards within the Braze team.

Our ShopperTrak dedicated customer success manager is great to work with. The Technical Support team is responsive and always willing to help.

Braze is a MUCH simpler interface than the Adobe Campaign. However, it is hard to argue that they both have the same functionality. Adobe Campaign is for a MUCH more technical team whereas Braze has a much easier user interface. I would definitely recommend Braze for small to medium-sized customers.

• Positive: A growth hacking experiment was proven successful in nudging users who abandoned their cart after checking out with a product/service and leaving their chart or 24 hours.
• Positive: A growth hacking experiment was proven successful in nudging users whose credit card failed when trying to upgrade to a paid account.
• Negative: With the plethora of teams (disciplines / business units / markets) with access to braze, it's easy to accidentally over-nurture users.

• We now better manage our labor to meet customer traffic.
• We can better measure the impact of promotions we offer.
• At a glance, I can identify stores with the biggest opportunities.
