Drawbridge (discontinued) vs. mParticle

It is well suited for small, targeted advertisements. I see this happening on a large scale and it is difficult to keep departments/groups/units separate from the individual, so incorrect, inappropriate, or just wrong recommendations are made all the time. The scale of your project I think determines whether this will be useful. A team under ~30/40 people, should work great. Larger than that and wires will be crossed, quality will plummet, and expectations will not be met.

If you can't trust the data you get into your customer journey service or user behavior analysis tool, mParticle can make a difference quickly. We used it to great success getting from untrustworthy data to reliable data in no time. If you already have a great data pipeline or use a user behavior analysis tool that includes checks for ensuring the trustworthiness of data, you might not need mParticle. If you have a lot of external or internal services you need to connect to your customer data, then mParticle is definitely worth looking at.

• well, it's tracking you, so that's a problem
• IoT - connected to all smart devices
• user interface is only for advanced users
• can give incorrect and inappropriate links for setting
• difficult to control broad settings
• terrible customer support (what do you expect from LinkedIN)

Incentivized

• Support - often times it feels like they're trying to create a sales opportunity rather than actually provide support - whether it's technical or non-technical.
• Some connection setups are not as consistent with respect to the procedure of setting up the connection, e.g. setting user identities in Braze.
• Audiences...definitely not as robust as Amplitude

It's a great tool for beginners but not scalable to advance use cases. It's not it's a fault in our case, because any platform is as good as the data collected

Incentivized

Superb technical support, always going the extra mile to understand your problem and work towards solutions. Specifically, the team are happy to jump on Zoom to troubleshoot the problem.

In hindsight, I wish we had picked any of the other options. Drawbridge is a letdown in cost, user ability, quality of service, and support. Though I have limited experience with the other software mentioned, they surely would not have been such a letdown - in so many areas, as Drawbridge is.

mParticle has a bigger catalog of services you can interface with and provides a more complete check for data integrity. It also allows you to use any analytics solution.

Incentivized

• Troubleshooting
• no ROI as too much troubleshooting goes into each project
• did not synchronize teams' needs
• poor user interface
• waste of time

Incentivized

• Negative: Quite a lot overlaps with the work being done on the Data Warehouse as a CDP.
• Positive: Able to connect to 3rd party tools with small effort (Appsflyer).
