Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Analytics

I always start very broad. It's always performance-based, so overall visits, shop visits, conversion bookings, and then that goes down from there. So regions, marketing channels, and device types. We're looking at it from a high level and then digging down into what the performance story really is and what are the drivers.
  • I would say it's very user-friendly. When I started my job at Hilton, I'd never worked with Adobe Analytics before. From day one it was kind of taught to me, but it was more of like initiation by fire. So honestly that can be kind of stressful a lot of times, but Adobe Analytics was one of the best experiences I've had from picking up something quickly and it's easy to become really good at using the tool. That is definitely unique to Adobe. A lot of the other tools that we use in analytics, it's not as user-friendly, the learning curve is way bigger. That was my favorite thing early on.
  • The thing that annoys me the most is I don't think it's very easy to do comparative periods. For example, when we're looking at year over year by all of these different metrics, such as when we're looking at device type, marketing channel, you're digging into it. A lot of times we want to look at year over year, how year over year compared to the prior week. It takes a lot of finagling sometimes to get it to work out the way you want it to with the time periods in comparisons.
  • Visuals I would say that's what I use the most, especially when we're looking at different projects that we're working on at the same time. There's just so much availability to customize your current project or task to what Adobe Analytics offers. So it's not like you're having to reinvent the wheel every time. It's just all there.
  • Actually this is a huge one. Just last year I got put on a new team that my company created and one of the sole purposes of this new team was to bring digital performance to the forefront of our company. Digital is the future and our leaders are really seeing that. Now looking forward, we're in a great position to take off with what we can do with Adobe Analytics, what we can do for the company. There's just so much opportunity for projects and insights and really everything seems limitless at this point. It's only going to get pushed more towards the digital side of things.
Adobe Analytics is better because there's just so much more you can do. A lot of those analytics tools, they're very narrow-focused. They're great, but a lot of times it's justextracting the data from those tools and then putting it in Excel and doing your own thing to it. Whereas in Adobe Analytics, you don't need to do that. Everything sits within the platform.

Well-suited. I think customer journey analytics, it is extremely well-suited for. It just allows you to delve into the details so easily and quickly and action on those insights very quickly. I feel like now in my current job, I've been looking more at customer experience level data, and I've learned even recently how great the tool is for that.

What is it not good for? I mean I guess this is really obvious, but my job is Hilton's performance. So you have to bridge the gap between the digital story and the overall story, then if there are discrepancies between what we're seeing in Adobe Analytics and what we're seeing in our data lake. You're getting one piece of data from Adobe Analytics, even just bookings. And then we have our other set of data that also has bookings data in there - and it's not just digital but it's all of our other channels. That can be difficult at times.
