    ObservePoint
    ObservePoint is a great tool for automating page testing and standardizing campaigns to observe accurate customer insights. You can identify customer mapping journey. They also help in data protection and insights which are very important and essential these days. They should work more on easy interface designs. Overall, it is the best.

    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.

    Pros
    ObservePoint
    • The UI for ObservePoint is intuitive and robust. This makes training new engineers and using the product easy and productive.
    • All Audit exports are formatted as tab delimited text files making the data easy to analyze and manipulate in a Spreadsheet or database.
    • The list of tag vendors that are discoverable is comprehensive making it easy to interrogate most any tagging implementation.
    • Standard reporting within the UI is robust and easy to consume.

    • 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
    ObservePoint
    • Page details, although interesting, are not very useful as the data is too granular and not possible to integrate with other analytics data for insights.
    • Some of the custom tagging may be a little complicated, so sometimes we need an engineer or an ObservePoint tech to help us out.

    • 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

    Usability
    ObservePoint
    It's easy to navigate and learn. The reporting and output are intuitive and robust features for finding and identifying actionable insight.

    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.

    Sometimes it can get a bit slow when auditing particularly huge sites but recent upgrades in infrastructure have done a lot to mitigate this behavior.

    Support is very strong indeed and has been consistent over the last 4 years. They are also friendly and tag nerds like me!

    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 have not used any other product other than ObservePoint for my requirements. there are a number of features for which it has proved helpful. Technology Governance ensures our data collection tools and processes are executing as planned, so our organization can make better decisions based on better data and so on

    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
    ObservePoint
    • ObservePoint has helped us quickly (within minutes) catch when a process or pathing on the website breaks, which allows us to fix it quickly. Whether technical/dev or analytics issues, without ObservePoint, they could have been undetected for weeks.

    • 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.
