Watch for your integration, if you have a big customer base.
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
In the past two years in our organization, we have been consultants for an integration between CIAM software and DotDigital. The idea is that the purpose of the CIAM is to collect user data, while DotDigital works as a marketing/engagement platform. The original customer base is millions of records worth, and we had serious issues with the integration.
Pros
- Segmentation
- Mail templates.
Cons
- API limits: There is a hardcoded limit on how many API calls you can make per hour, and to raise it, you have to pay.
- The API set is very limited in general.
- The API set is very limited in general
Return on Investment
- Maintenance costs due to integration limits.
- API tiers (now formalized in the documentation) were discovered after the initial purchase, so there are more recurring costs.
- In general, a raise of costs in the IT compartment, while it can benefit marketing.
