Customer data platform has transformed wealth campaigns and delivers precise client targeting
ActionIQ Platform has been a very helpful tool in designing our entire customer data platform in our wealth management domain, which has been really helpful to segregate the participants according to their eligibility and it has worked very efficiently to target out the participants according to the perfect use case. The best feature that ActionIQ Platform provides is it is able to handle a very large amount of data. It comes handy with the big data tools such as Snowflake and Databricks. These provide a very handy feature to handle a very large amount of data. At the same time, the second best feature is creating out the rules and the eligibility criteria for the participant. It works very efficiently to target the participant according to the eligibility criteria that we set and which helps us a lot in the reconciliation process. That is all that I found very valuable with ActionIQ Platform.

Centralized customer data has powered predictive audiences and proactive marketing campaigns
The best features Segment offers are the audience building features. We've also launched predictive audiences, which is so far really promising for us and marketing has a lot of ideas for activating these types of audiences. We're going from using historical data to using current data to get more predictive with how we're activating. In my experience, the audience building tools compared to other solutions I've seen or used are really sophisticated. I've used other CRMs in the past for this, and I would say the type of data you're not getting as much of is what you do when you're activating or creating the audiences within the CDP. I think predictive audiences require a 360 view of the customer in order to create these types of AI audiences because they use a lot of different data points. How it's helping the team is by giving us more ways to reach our customers and being more proactive in the type of campaigns that marketing can launch. They have a lot of good ideas and some good things in the pipeline.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"From the manual process of marketing campaigns which used to run earlier, ActionIQ Platform helped us by reducing 80% of the effort, and as mentioned, the accuracy of the campaigns increased to 98 to 99%."
"Customer support is fantastic."
"I like the straightforward way of connecting with various data sources and destinations. That's the most valuable feature. It has built-in integrations for a lot of them, so the overall effort required for integrations is relatively low."
"Inserting some very simple code snippets has made this part of it a breeze for our developer so he can concentrate on the hard stuff."
"Segment's scalability is amazing, and it's fully capable of handling all of the different use cases that we have in our company and we have a very complicated company."
 

Cons

"One feature that I can think of is that apart from the batch mode where the data gets refreshed on ActionIQ Platform, if we could get that done on a real-time basis, it would be more helpful given whatever data needs to be processed."
"The design of the website is such that you lose context when clicking around (e.g. when clicking on docs)."
"The only challenge was the session functionality."
"The challenge is the lack of flexibility in the SDKs, given the capabilities of the destinations."
"I chose a rating of eight out of ten because these video tutorials would really illustrate how to use the tool to its full potential, and perhaps some more hands-on support from the Segment team would push it to a ten."
