Google tag manager is free to use and is a Google product so it works seamlessly with any Google tool such as analytics or optimizes. I haven't found features that this tool is missing compared to the paid options available. I am able to do everything I need with GTM.

Chose Google Tag Manager
We typically default to GTM since it is free and provides a majority of the benefits you are looking to achieve by implementing this kind of tool. The paid solutions are great but typically reserved for a more niche client base that has very specific needs.
If you are using Google Analytics, then it only makes sense to use Google Tag Manager. GTM has better Event Tracking, data layer handling, and modularity. It is well documented and easy to find solutions and community support for almost any imaginable use-case scenario with …
Google Tag Manager has many training resources online that our team relied on when recommending to clients why they should use GTM. It's one thing to share a recommendation with a client, it's another to be able to train them on it. I haven't seen these available resources for …
GTM is really good at monitoring usage of the entire website and tracking customer journeys. This leads to site optimization and a reduced funnel path for consumers, which drives up conversions. The biggest benefit is that it allows marketers more access to changing these tags …

Chose Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager is free, which is the most important aspect of our business. The other tools work well, however, have heavy fees associated with their use.
GTM is powerful and free, don't need to pay more for the easy stuff. If you are a corporate guy with money to invest and really heavy use of advertising and analytics you may select Tealium. If you are a small or medium size company this [GTM] is the solution you are looking for.
Simpler to use and comes free of cost. It has enterprise level features and gives strong competition to any other TMS. If a company has Google Analytics or any other Google Suite product, GTM will easily integrate with it. The only reason I can think of as to why you should use …
I've had very good experiences with Tealium. They have a similar technology model to Google Tag Manager and a great interface. However, where Tealium shines is in its assistance to your data layer strategy, audits and fast, friendly support. Of course, you can also get this …
BrightTag, Qubit, SuperTag and Tealium all have great products, without a question, and they're are great for organizations with very specific tagging needs. With that said, Google has a history of building phenomenal products - Google AdWords, Google Analytics, etc. and their …
Google Tag Manager is a very good tag management system considering the price (free). It is still used on one of our supported sites. Even though your company will have to pay for Tealium iQ Tag Management, the benefits it has above Google Tag Manager are worth it in my …
Tealium iQ Tag Management is very robust and extensible, however Google Tag Manager is a much better value. My recommendation is to evaluate your business's tagging and tracking needs and identify any deltas with cheaper solutions than Tealium iQ Tag Management can offer. Also, …
As noted earlier, Tealium iQ is a more professional platform with dedicated account support (which you pay for) whereas Google Tag Manager is free and more of a "do-it-yourself" type of product. GTM is great for those first getting into tag management, and want to play around …
We primarily selected Tealium IQ over Google Tag Manager as we had a requirement to utilize Tealium Audience Stream which required Tealium IQ. Overall, we have seen benefits from using Tealium IQ, such as performance improvement and easier integration of some third-party tags. …
Tealium Customer Data Hub has architected an end-to-end solution where some other solution providers have attempted to integrate various acquired technologies, and in many case not so well. In comparison with Google Tag Manager, being able to utilize support and professional …

Tealium iQ and EventStream are more potent and robust than Google Tag Manager (client-side and server-side). This being said, GTM is easier to use.
Tealium offers world class support while GTM has no support.
Tealium offers the ability to fully customize the data being collected and sent to tags.

Chose Tealium Customer Data Hub
Great customer service. GTM has no support whatsoever. Tealium Customer Data Hub is very customizable to our needs and can send information back and forth. Easy implementable if you know the technology
I have experience with Adobe Launch, GTM, and also just the olden days of directly implementing analytics on a page. I even remember when Tealium Customer Data Hub first came on the market. Digital marketers like myself were skeptical back then, but after a few years working …
In the end, the overall scope of integrations available and the tools on hand were far greater on Tealium and couldn't be matched by any other company. The price is competitive but even though you will pay more, we found that it was worth the added expense. Can't speak to the …
They all have their positives and negatives. Obviously Launch provides more support for Adobe Analytics implementation and GTM for Google Analytics. Tealium can hold it's own, and it's relatively easy to use. Just wish it gives us more customization ability with Adobe Analytics.
Tealium Customer Data Hub is the most effective solution I've used so far in terms of collecting and managing data. We chose this tool because it has a reputation of being the best in the industry. We had also heard that Tealium has a support team second to none - which is …

Tealium iQ Tag Management System is strictly Vendor independent. Tealium uses a multi-content delivery network and can therefore be reached from anywhere at any time. Tealium's support is focused, the community is very large, and Tealium has been a pioneer in the field of tag …
GTM is great for beginners. The GTM data layer isn't as useful as what Tealium uses. You can do more with less in TiQ. For example, you can have 1 Google Analytics tag that handles all of your page views and events. You would need multiple tags configured within GTM to …
I've used GTM on my own personal site. The reason I used it over Tealium was because it's free and my site sees very little traffic. I have not used any other competitors but have talked to many others who have. There are a lot of differing opinions, but it seems that Tealium …
See other points for more on this, but Tealium is a clear improvement over Google Tag Manager. Just yesterday, we had a tag that stopped working in GTM despite no changes to it. It was fixed after we redeployed it, but I'm quite sure this would never happen with a product like …
Tealium shines against Google Tag Manager by having plug and play integrations for over 600 tracking tags. GTM only has this for Google or Double Click tags and requires customization for all other tags.
We evaluated Google Tag Manager, Ensighten, and Tagman. We found Google's limited tag library to be a non-starter for our needs. Tagman seemed to lack resources to compete with Tealium and Ensighten. We selected Tealium over Ensighten for three reasons:
