When we wanted to accelerate technical SEO to improve our page rankings, we needed a place to start. Crownpeak Digital Accessibility and Quality's set of checkpoints is that starting place. From there, it started a conversation of what was relevant and what wasn't, then we could configure the checkpoints to align to our business. Beyond that starting place, we grew into automated testing after gathering enough data to know where our blind spots were.
  • Preconfigured checkpoints to gather a baseline.
  • Reporting at regular intervals to identify pain points.
  • Mapping to WCAGG standard to understand how to resolve errors.
  • Ability to add customized checkpoints to align with messaging changes
  • Aggregating images in a visual repository to scan for relevancy.
  • Extended reporting capabilities over longer amounts of time.
  • First indexed dates to determine age of error as a basis for prioritization.
  • Integration with ticket management system.
For systems with less structure, Crownpeak Digital Accessibility and Quality buys peace-of-mind that technical SEO and accessibility are solid. For more templated systems, this solution may not be necessary.

We use CrownPeak and its PageChecker function on a daily basis to ensure standards are met and kept on our website. We also use it to search for copies. We check our accessibility scores against our peers. We also use the usability and SEO scores to help us create a more inclusive website for users.
  • PageChecker is excellent. Very quick to use.
  • Dashboards help us see what areas need improving
  • The Search function is valuable.
  • The Search results still indexed the old Beta version of our site
  • When faults are fixed, they remain as faults in the numbers till re-indexed.
  • a
When building a new page that is urgently required on the site, PageChecker allows us to very quickly check that the page is at the standard expected. It also flags if that's not the case. Running Page Checker takes only a matter of seconds which is fantastic. I am unable to think of scenarios where it's not appropriate.

Our organization and several of our clients use Crownpeak DQM to help ensure accessibility compliance, improve SEO, and ensure branding standards.
  • Automated WCAG Testing
  • Automated SEO issue finding
  • Continued assurance after content and template updates.
  • Make it easier to accept misspellings as correct
Crownpeak DQM is a great product to help with automated scans both on a "live" website as well as during the development process. It does not replace manual scans - but rather should be complimentary. It also helps provide a great "paper trail" of work done for compliance auditing purposes.

Dqm consists out of a couple of different aspects, first of all you have the dashboard, this is used by the gate keepers of quality, Digital Services and the content owners of several different markets and businesses. Using this dashboards we keep track of large scale issues, template or component issues but alo hunt down the priority issues. The other tool is the cms plugin, this is used by all authors to make sure no isseus go live, and because some issues cannot be indicated by that plugin we also onboarded the Dqm live page checker. This tool can be used on the live page to check all checkpoints that are in the dashboard. We've been using the dashboards for more than a year and using the benchmarks we see great improvement on the website and apart from that over 30 checkpoints were added to make sure all aspects on quality were included. Some minor aspects (which the crownpeak team is developing) is reporting both on plugin usage as well as a daily management setup in the dashboard and the new checkpoints do not give any weight to the benchmarking scores, though they should.
  • The tickets, every single day I'm amazed by the ticketing tool and people that work on them, unfortunately I'm no longer being asked to grade tickets because every single one of them would be 10/10
  • The tooling itself is very intuitive, I myself am addicted to the scorings, its an amazing motivator!
  • The possibility to together with the Dqm team work on new checkpoint is so much fun!
  • The providing of info on improvements can be improved, there's a lot of information on the forum but a biweekly newsletter for tool owners like myself would be nice
  • Additional checkpoints could be suggested, its very onesided when it comes to new checkpoint creation
  • New checkpoints should be able to give weight on the benchmarking scores, insights on how the weight in the bemchmarking scores would be nice
  • I'm worried about the new ui and how it will affect the daily operations
If you have a fully customized cms and have people working on the site with html and css knowledge this is the best tool ever, all specifics can be checked. Using ab tests and optimization services we identify best practices of the website and everywhere the best practices aren't implemented we find using the custom checkpoints. Aspects that cannot be automated via a quick IT solution is turned into a checkpoint and that's great!

Crownpeak DQM is used in many ways - to pro-actively manage our web estate, to identify issues, and to check daily developments before they go live. We have also recently implemented the Crownpeak Autofix tool to enhance our accessibility for all of our web users.
  • Excellent, quick support
  • Easy to implement
  • Easy to configure to suit business needs.
  • Look at the pricing model for Autofix for businesses who have multiple domains.
  • Keep refreshing the DQM interface to stay ahead of the game.
Crownpeak is very user-friendly, meaning a digital or marketing team with all levels of experience can pick it up easily and find it useful in their day-to-day activities. It can be used to review a site that has been inherited by a team, just as much as it can be used to pro-actively manage one on a daily basis. Restricted checkpoints also come in useful for identifying where content sits across a web estate, eg if a term is no longer compliant or an individual leaves a company and references need removing.

UCP from Crownpeak helped us to solve cookies policy issues across the whole group. We own a few companies and we needed to have a one-fits-all solution for a reasonable price and this was delivered with the UCP.
  • It allows to translate each label to a given language
  • It's fast to deploy
  • Support is really good
  • It's difficult to style some elements of the consent banner
If you are looking for a consent platform that can be deployed across many domains and is managed from one place this is the product for you. On the other hand, if you have just one page to put the cookie consent banner on, there are definitely cheaper solutions out there.

Grant Thronton use Crownpeak Digital Quality Management (DQM) to monitor the quality of our websites in over 50 countries. As a global brand, it's critical that our online presence reaches the same high standards and consistency in all corners of the world. Crownpeak Digital Quality Management (DQM) gives us the oversight we need to achieve this.
  • Oversight of multiple websites in a single platform
  • Easy management of quality checkpoints
  • Simple and easy-to-use interface
  • Scans are weekly, so it can take seven days for the platform to reflect fixed issues
  • Unable to pause or hide checkpoints while global issues are being resolved
Crownpeak Digital Quality Management (DQM) is well suited to any organization with multiple online services that need to be monitored for quality. This can be as simple as ensuring copyright dates are up to date, or as complex as identifying issues in the source code that require development. Crownpeak Digital Quality Management (DQM) would be less useful for a company that has just one website.

We use the automated accessibility scans provided by Crownpeak DQM to assist with manual auditing. It is especially useful for enterprise-level organizations that have multiple digital properties. By leveraging DQM's analytical and benchmarking data, we are able to inform and create efficiencies within our manual digital accessibility process. DQM enables us to:
  • Quickly assess which websites are the highest risk and have the most errors
  • Gather trends and commonalities around recurring issues across multiple sites
  • Have a snapshot of a customer's progress on automated accessibility remediation both across the whole organization or site-by-site
  • Automated WCAG testing
  • Accessibility benchmarking across an organization's total websites
  • Differentiate between A, AA, and AAA issues
  • Compare accessibility, SEO, and usability in order to understand how the initiatives support each other
  • Easy admin functionality
  • Customization capabilities
  • Pages with many issues can take a longer time to load
Crownpeak DQM is suited for any organization looking to include automated accessibility as part of its digital compliance program. It is especially well-suited for organizations with multiple websites that need to understand where they are on their automated accessibility journey across different products, project teams, and brands at any given time.

We use it with our clients. It provides the capabilities to focus efforts for web changes into the right areas but also give[s] insight into what needs to change and may be problematic. We also use it with other data to identify any changes in the websites and management team issues that may be causing an impact on the site
  • Focus on areas of the website that need [improvement] without guesswork
  • Give a quantitative view of the website errors
  • Integrate with publishing
  • Give a belt and braces approach to fixing errors on the site for accessibility
  • Give a view of multiple websites in one dashboard
  • Blending with Google Analytics data to see the impact of errors
  • Be able to attribute errors to a publisher if integrated with the CMS
Particularly on [multi-domain, multi-national] websites where you want to ensure consistency and rules are being followed.

We consult on the resell and implement Crownpeak DXP across a range of clients. Typically the DXP is used globally by our client organisations across distributed marketing teams in a number of markets, to setup and manage digital marketing and digital business ecosystems. Specific business problems solved using the DXP are: control and consistency of web content and digital customer experience across markets; setup and management of B2C and B2B2C business models (including e-commerce, PIM, CRM); control and consistency of brand experience (including DAM).
  • Ensures quality and consistency of content implementation across distributed teams and markets.
  • Quick and easy content updates across global digital ecosystems.
  • Custom checkpoints to identify, highlight and manage business updates across multiple websites (e.g. product detail, terminology, customer messaging, brand updates)
  • Custom branded dashboard reports would be an excellent new feature
DQM deals with quality assurance across most areas of website content and customer experience; including content quality, brand updates, product detail and SEO effectiveness (including broken links, H-tags etc.).

It does overlap with some of the other custom tools we already use in areas such as SEO quality and effectiveness. The advantage it gives however, is bringing all the factors listed above into a single tool and dashboard, making the process of highlighting, reporting and addressing all the website factors that affect customer experience and business effectiveness into a single space.

DQM is also useful for isolating single business and Customer Experience (CX) issues for our clients using the 'custom checkpoint' tools. For example, our most recent custom usage has been in the management of diversity and inclusion language and terminology across a global web estate, to ensure consistency of language and approach across an ecosystem of websites managed by distributed teams.

We are using Crownpeak DQM for accessibility compliance. It's across our entire organization. It addresses issues on site, mobile, and app, and helps grow our audience and reach users who would not otherwise be able to enjoy our content.
  • Attentive customer service representatives.
  • Variety of services offered.
  • Custom tailored solutions.
  • Commercial solutions.
  • Explanation of services at the beginning of exploration.
  • Explanation of relationship between DQM and Ilumino.
  • Setting out a clear roadmap for the lifespan of the contract.
Crownpeak DQM is well suited to manage larger corporations' needs around accessibility. Quick response times were appreciated and trialing the product to multiple teams was rather seamless. Crownpeak seemed less appropriate to use with a highly technical suite of products where specialized training of those products/services was required.

We use to scan all our sites for Accessibility issues.
  • Automatically scans the issues every week.
  • Support is great and quick.
  • Communication is excellent.
  • Automated ADA issues are summarized.
  • Pricing could be optimized a bit.
  • Majority of issues are left out for manual scans.
  • Few more issues could be automated.
Not ideal for most of the manual case testing. Automated test cases reported could be caught by few more tools similar to DQM which are a lot more affordable. DQM could offer more personalized packages for manual testing accompanied by automated scans. The cases covered are ideal but more work could be done around automating more test cases.

We are using Crownpeak DQM to make sure our production and staged websites are ADA compliant. It is currently used by IT and to a lesser extent Legal. I am the main point of contact and admin for the DQM. I am also the main person responsible for the remediation of found issues. The business problem it addresses is possible litigation for non-ADA compliant websites or apps.
  • DQM does a great job at identifying code that doesn't meet WCAG guidelines.
  • DQM has nice reporting tools and it is easy to deliver the results to non-IT employees.
  • The Page Checker tool is very helpful for real-time scanning. This makes it possible to make sure fixes work before the next main scan.
  • It would be helpful if the Issues page under Website showed the WCAG level for each issue (A, AA, AAA). You currently have to look up the guideline to find the level.
  • There is no indicator that a page is currently being scanned. During a website scan, some of the reports are blank or missing information. Having a notification on the main page showing which websites are being scanned would be helpful.
  • Some ADA compliance items are left off, such as keyboard navigation, tabbing, etc.
  • It doesn't view the websites on mobile devices or if using a screen reader. Some pages or formatting changes depending on resolution. The DQM, from what I have seen, doesn't account for that.
I would definitely recommend Crownpeak DQM to colleagues. It does a good job of scanning existing code and offers nice recommended solutions. The Page Checker tool is also very useful. I used it daily while developing a new website. I would caution against completely relying on DQM for ADA compliance, though, as it does miss some things. It doesn't appear to make sure keyboard navigation or screen readers would be able to use the website. I would recommend supplementing DQM with an actual user functionality test.

My organization uses Crownpeak Digital Quality Management (DQM) to monitor standards across each website in our expanding group of businesses. It enables us to pro-actively monitor the websites rather than wait to be told about issues by customers or other colleagues. It also helps us to quickly review any new brands we bring into the group.
  • User-friendly interface
  • Useful for developers, content editors, and other business users
  • Dashboards provide quick insight into any areas of concern
  • Easy to spot trends and nip issues in the bud
  • The ability to add sub-groups so you can group sets of brands together within dashboards
  • [The] ability for the user to prompt a recrawl themselves to see instant fixes
For pro-active monitoring of websites, and being able to jump on broken links and images, gain insight into missing metadata and fix issues on the fly, Crownpeak Digital Quality Management (DQM) is invaluable. The PageChecker also provides a great tool to ensure you can review your content pre-go live and keep new issues to a minimum.

We utilize Crownpeak Universal Consent Platform [and the] AdChoices/Evidon opt-out solution across our ad campaigns in order to provide users with the ability to opt-out from being targeted via 1p/3p data. Not all accounts at our company utilize this offering, but a good number do (including the account that I work on).
  • Easy-to-use UI - straightforward navigation, minimal issues
  • Simple implementation when it comes to tagging
  • Helpful support team when issues arise (that rarely happens, however)
  • I do sometimes run into issues implementing our account's logo within our overlay, however I haven't run into these problems at all over the past few months!
If you are utilizing consumer data to target specific audiences/segments of users, Crownpeak and its offerings can be extremely beneficial in providing users with the ability to opt out of data targeting if they so choose.

If you aren't utilizing any kind of user data across ad campaigns that you're running, it may not be as beneficial. However, I'm not completely up to speed on all of Crownpeak's offerings outside of AdChoices/Evidon, so I'm sure that there are many other products and use cases outside of the one case described above.

Crownpeak Digital Quality Management (DQM) is well suited for addressing the SEO and issues through out each individual site being supported. We were able to set up stage and production, which was useful to flag and address at a specific environment.
Well suited for addressing issues from high to low priority.

We use Evidon consent for all websites on the Italian market, we are satisfied with the tool. The integration with Google Tag Manager is a good improvement in order to manage cookies pushed in the website. Also the support is a good service. If I can suggest new features we'd like in a multi-country company the possibility to manage locally our own market and have access at a country level.
  • Manage cookies
  • Easy installation on Google Tag Manager
  • Customisations
  • Enterprise company management in order to get access at market level
  • Reporting at market level
It is a good tool in order to manage consent at the website level and after the first implementation it's faster to adopt in all other properties.
