Data-driven insights have improved campaign tracking and form journey optimization
The tutorials provided on the Experience League platform could be made easier or explained in more accessible terms. Sometimes it is difficult for a beginner to understand the terminologies, so this could be improved. From a cost perspective, a major improvement is needed. Adobe Analytics is a very costly tool. For example, if a startup or a small company wants to use Adobe Analytics, it is very difficult to procure that license because of the high cost. I would expect Adobe to reduce the cost so that many enterprise companies would be interested in using that tool. Earlier, Adobe Analytics had ad hoc analysis, which was an omnichannel tool that had both offline data injection and online data injection capabilities. This was a very useful tool, but Adobe decommissioned it a few years ago. I found that tool very helpful for the business as it provided the capability of preparing dashboards and reports for all datasets, offering a wider range of insights. Unfortunately, Adobe has decommissioned that tool.

Targeted in-app messaging has increased event registrations and deepened insight into customer behavior
The best feature Pendo offers is the ability to relatively quickly get a message out to a highly segmented audience, though it does require some work. You can target anybody who hasn't logged in in the past 30 days or anybody who has logged in in the past 30 days, enabling very targeted communications.We saw direct impact on revenue through event registrations. When we did a webinar and invited customers, we could see that approximately 50% of our registrations came from Pendo as opposed to email.It impacted the organization positively because we have much more data as to how people interact with our product when they're in the product itself and what they click on. On a level of one to ten, I would say the impact was a nine.
