    Lotame
    Well suited for advertising business. Has a lot of links to all relevant technologies. It is also a great platform if you want to buy or sell data and look for quality here. But you need a team which knows how to handle data. Less appropriate when you expect a fully managed service.

    Well suited to campaigns and smaller task teams of less than 100. For these sizes, the group conversations work well, and the ability to search conversations and multimedia is perfect for finding previous information. For larger groups, information could very easily get lost, and requires a break-up into groups that would defeat the purpose of such a group chat.

    • Populating your library with new tags is simple whether you're duplicating an existing tag or creating an entirely new one.
    • Creating the firing conditions for a tag.
    • Adding users to different groups with limited or full admin permissions.
    • If you know JavaScript, you shouldn't have an issue with assigning values to the proper variables once your data layer is set up for each page and/or action.

    Cons
    Lotame
    • So far we haven't encountered too many "needs improvement" pain points with Lotame - if we've had a problem so far it's been more a matter of needing to learn that particular action than any fault of Lotame.

    • Placing quotes around variable names in the Tag Attributes, but not in the Event Handlers has caused me to mess up more than once.
    • Being able to search the account for all instances of certain text would be very helpful (e.g., search for s.eVar30 to find all places where I set that SiteCatalyst variable).

    Because of all of the previous benefits that I mentioned, GM has mandated that any DSP that we use for their campaigns must be integrated with BrightTag. Therefore we will have to use BrightTag for all future GM business

    Based on the features and current usage. It shows some buggy pages plus the service and support is really very slow. The updates are not regular and company needs to work on that. The usability is good and reporting of tags is accurate which is the best part. The pricing of the product is good and can be used by organizations of all sizes.

    Support is really slow and it takes days to resolve an issue. Plus we have to inquire regularly for the status of resolution. Company should definitely work towards that

    Alternatives Considered
    Lotame
    There are alternatives in the market - Visual DNA, Bluekai/Oracle/ Adobe Audience Manager, Krux. They all offer a similar offering, however, I prefer the easy UI which is very intuitive even for beginners to the DMP world.

    Most of the tag solutions I've worked with were not nearly as robust. Most systems will let you load another tag not directly placed on the site, but none provide all the different firing levers that BT does

    Return on Investment
    Lotame
    • Helped us increase data revenue via their unbranded exchange.
    • Campaign and audience reporting is used to sales discussions to justify increased spend post trial campaigns.

    • Wonderful for ensuring we meet our logistical and record-keeping requirements
    • Negative at being the best at quality-of-life options, like specific muting
    • Great at allowing a casual work environment in having chats for memes, pets, etc.
