TransUnion
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.

  • 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

Overall, usability is high and fairly intuitive

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 Rating
MagicPixel
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!

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

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.

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

  • 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.
