Adobe Customer Journey Analytics
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I migrate clients from GA4 or Adobe Analytics to CJA. I teach them to build workspaces and build their high-level workspaces for them. I troubleshoot issues and provide the client with written documentation about their Adobe implementation (SDR, Data Dictionary, etc.). I continue to support the client with office hours.
Pros
- Drag and drop UI.
- Handling derived components at the time a query/workspace runs.
- Customization of your implementation.
Cons
- Documentation and training.
- Hourly Smart Alerts are missing.
- AI Summaries are often missing key insights or focus on weird things.
- Calculated Metrics and segments can be very finicky on setup and could use suggestions to user on what could improve them.
Return on Investment
- As a consultant specializing in implementation, this has been very good for my business objectives.
- My clients have found it very useful, as long as they receive training and support on how to use it. I have worked at organizations where it is not properly utilized because people are "afraid" to learn it.
- It has delivered key insights for organizations, leading to improvements in their site design and conversion funnel.

Adobe remains a top contender in the sector of user experience.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
The product allows us to understand the different journeys our users take on our site, and for me and members of my team to track and better understand them. It also allows us to outline key areas for our users, delegate resources to review and improve those sections, and ensure user journeys are as usable and accessible as possible.
Pros
- AI powered insight.
- Building dashboards that can be shared with stakeholders.
- Better visualization of user journeys.
- Real time updates of site analytics.
Cons
- It's quite a complex system to learn and takes some initial training, and better training resources.
- Overkill at times for just analytics, GA4 offers better if used for that analytics.
- Cost could be improved as current resource is rather expensive.
Return on Investment
- Identification of key areas/journeys.
- Increase traffic to key landing pages.
- Improved accessibility issues on key pages to improve overall user experience.
