Commanders Act TagCommander vs. MagicPixel

If you need a single place where you can handle all the third party pixels, this is a well-suited platform. As well as if you want to keep the deployment independent from all other (and more complex) deployments driven by IT. If you need a pixel to be fired not just when the page loads, but based on user actions, you should use the events and that's pretty complex to handle.

Magic Pixel has worked really well between teams - the ability for anyone on our team from marketing to IT to channel leads can update and implement and track, enabling for better integration and more efficiency

• Creating new pixels is very easy, as well as organizing all of them, handling prioritization between different partners' pixels.
• Defining the perimeters and constraints where the pixels need to be fired is a breeze.
• Deploying the container and keeping track of all the modification is very well done.
• The configuration of the deduplication rule is pretty flexible.

Incentivized

• Multi-integrated tracking approach
• Tag analytics
• Lighthouse integration for Sitespeed + page experience monitoring.
• Live debugging

• Reports. Tag Commander lacks in term of reports of what's happening. There is an additional module called Attribution Management System that gives you a lot of insights, but more basic reports to understand what has been fired will be useful.
• Support. Tag Commander support is very low responsive. It took several days to have the first feedback and generally, it takes a lot of emails to get what you need.
• Deduplication engine flexibility. The engine is there and it works pretty well, until you have a slightly different need. In that case you need to implement something custom in terms of implementation, reports, etc. A more flexible approach would be useful.

• Pre built integrations are great, but the variety could be better.
• Page loading times can be a bottle neck.
• Tag suggestions are not always relevant.

Overall, usability is high and fairly intuitive

While they're definitely very helpful, they aren't always the best at explaining how to integrate certain products and APIs into their platform. I would have appreciated additional support articles with video and pictures references on how to integrate other products. Overall though they were very helpful when reaching out!

I only briefly had an experience with Hitask but the biggest tale away for me was that MagicPixel a better user interface and user experience. This was really important to me because the more user friendly the tool is, theoretically we are spending less time using the tool but reaping an equitable value.

• It let us deploy new pixels/fixes to pixels independently from the IT deployment process.
• It let us easily turn on/off and sort the pixel execution based on partners' priority, assuring better data tracking for more important partners.
• It provides out of the box pixel implementation for tons of partners, but really often we need to rewrite the pixel from scratch as they're not up to date.

Incentivized

• Improved multi-integrative approach for less dev time implementing tags.
• Easier testing of tags meant less down-time for misbehaving tags.
• More mobile growth due to better tracking.
