Overall Satisfaction with Cheetah Digital Marketing Suite (formerly Experian)

Cheetah DMS is being used by the online department as a central hub for online marketing and communication. The main advantage is the multiplicity of services it provides as well as the A/B testing methodology and in-depth reporting the platform provides. It helps us identify users that we impacted via different channels on a single hub.
  • It offers social media tracking, which is a big competitive advantage against its rivals.
  • Email targeting options are better than Mailchimp.
  • Good price.
  • The support team is not good.
  • It is not easy to use at first, there is a learning curve.
  • User-interface can be improved, as it is a bit confusing.
  • It has raised costs due to its price, reducing ROI.
  • However, we have gotten good results and great CPAs with them, improving margins.
  • It has allowed us to be faster on testing, improving ROI in the long term.
I believe Cheetah DMS is a bit more complete and a lot more complex to use than Mailchimp. Mailchimp was born as a mail marketing service while Cheetah has always worked across the whole online advertising spectrum making it a better solution for clients that need a certain level of service and sophistication.
Cheetah has never been known for its customer service and the few times I had to contact the answers I got were either incomplete or not really useful for the problem I was having at the moment. I think there is a lot of room for improvement in this aspect.

Cheetah DMS works as a central hub for your online customers. You are able to test and measure different marketing campaigns on a variety of channels (programmatic, e-mail, etc). It's useful for big companies that work across the whole online spectrum and are not niche players. Also, the cost makes it impossible for a small player to acquire this product.
