Medallia Digital Experience Analytics vs. Tealium Customer Data Hub

When we knew that there were some website issues, we were able to use Decibel Insights to really pinpoint the issue and then work on a fix. Again, if we are doing a CRO test then we could also use the tool for a similar reason. It is less suitable for complex websites or websites that are frequently changing, as a lot of support is required by the team and it takes a lot of admin to keep the Decibel Insights account working as effectively as it should.

For more suited, I'll say highly regulated industry around data like healthcare, insurance, finance, where Tealium can be very helpful and for clients that don't have much different channels where they interact with their clients. So companies that only sell on internet and are a small company, I can see Tealium being the best usage for these clients, for these companies.

• Heat mapping provides a great understanding of UI pain points/bugs
• Integration with analytics tools (we use Adobe) brings in analytics analysis as well
• Helps to understand the user journey and where dropoff is occurring

• Simple tag management that is tough to beat. So many solutions that are incredibly simple to setup and gather data for.
• Security around the data is key and Tealium excels in this area.
• The speed impact of the tag setup is key to optimizing and allowing our web properties to run more effectively, which is a better experience for the end user.

• Being able to create groups of segments would be useful.
• The interface for selecting page types needs more options, it can be difficult to use if you have lots of similar pages.
• Would be good if top level stats were presented in different ways, or in a more visual way (ie pie charts, graphs).
• Generating reports - it would be nice if I could export charts and graphs instead of just CSV files.

• Audiences—don't they technically exist in Tealium? They are just streamed—no count, no backfill, etc.
• Working backward to identify issues involves lots of clicking in the UI, going from audience to audience attribute, badge to event attribute, and so on.
• You have to wait for a Real-Time event to see the payload. There is no sample or other option.

I've heard about some new features that are coming online soon to do with tracking forms. They also offer a lead tracking package that we haven't tried yet, but I'm keen to check out.

I already know that my company has no plans to discontinue use of Tealium. We are heavily reliant on it due to a huge number of product teams and developers we would have to work with to place tags across many pages. Tealium is already there on the pages, and our application/product teams are familiar with how to integrate it. It is just the simplest way to ensure that new data requirements are implemented in a timely manner.

Tealium iQ Tag Management System does exactly what it is intended for, it manages vendortags. Changes can be made to websites and apps in minutes. The frontend is well structured, updates are easy to carry out, and Tealium support is available at all times.

It's been flawless as far as I am concerned.

The support team often is so quick to respond and so helpful when it comes to working with the needs of my clients and being able to resolve potential shortcomings or technical issues or surrounding the tool. There have been times more recently that I’ve gotten more generic service rather than the tailored experience that I have come to expect.

Implementation had some bumps in the road and it was new for all of us, but for the most part, it was easier than many other implementations we've done with other technologies.

I have used Hotjar before, and in comparison, the functionality and the abilities in Decibel Insights are so much more advanced. The only downside is the price difference between the two tools, but the adaptability and the customer support you get with Decibel Insights definitely make it a more manageable and long-term tool to integrate with your marketing activity.

Tealium Customer Data Hub can do it all in one. Whereas, I think by using multiple Tealium Customer Data Hubs, we can utilize what each tool is really good at. In an ideal world, we'd like to use Tealium Customer Data Hub for everything, but one thing that we struggle with is Audience Segmentation, and we are looking for a one touch solution, without a lot of the work since the data is already there.

Like anything it could be cheaper but we still feel we get value from it.

Never had an issue, scales as we use it.

Very easy to work with and relatively cost effective

• We have improved form fills, which has provided more sales leads
• We have been able to tweak UI elements to make the site more navigable so that users want to spend more time on the site
• We have been able to more quickly and efficiently identify bugs on our e-commerce pages, increasing order rates among users

• There has been a near immeasurable return on customer data and improvement of our quality for our physical products due to be in tune with the customer. This has changed our way of doing things for the better to gain a better flow and overall workplace experience.
• A negative is that Tealium AudienceStream becomes harder to manuever and use data analytics for when a database has been existing for a fairly large amount of time. It goes from an agile ship to a huge vessel that takes many components to be able to move.
