Harshit Gaur - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Data Analytics L1 at Publicis Sapient
Used to perform A/B testing or make recommendations for website development
Adobe is currently working on some things. There are two types of composers. There's a visual composer, and then you have a code-based form composer where you can set up your experience. The user interface for the form-based composer is slow, and the loading time is not optimized. Optimization is needed for the tool as the requirements are rapid, and the client asks to implement the solution in a week or so. Secondly, there is a need for integrations because when you have data coming from Adobe Target, you might want to put it into some visualization tools. Currently, we can use a component called A4T in Adobe Analytics to import the data directly. We can put the data in Adobe Analytics, but it needs some connectors or APIs to Adobe Target through which we can connect it to multiple platforms. This could be very feasible and handy if I want to visualize the data in Power BI or other tools. These kinds of things and optimization are needed for Adobe Target to become the number one tool for personalization.

Advanced customer journeys have boosted segmentation and now deliver more relevant campaigns
The best features Blueshift offers in my experience are customer data management and segmentation, intuitive and easy-to-use UI, quick and efficient customer support, and an intuitive user-friendly interface that allows me to manage complex data easily. Blueshift also offers robust features such as integration with Segment and other apps, retargeting with dynamic content pulled from data feeds and catalogs. Out of those features, I find myself relying on the customer segments and recommendation tool in Blueshift the most day-to-day because it has helped with automating and personalizing our tags. I would also add that the predictive score is very useful. Blueshift has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to launch triggered marketing campaigns targeted to specific segments based on users' behaviors on-site and deliver relevant personalized content using the AI-based recommendations tool.

Quotes from Members

"It is beneficial for personalizing user experiences and making recommendations in e-commerce contexts."
"With Adobe Target, I can replace existing content with new or enhanced content, such as pop-ups, banners, or buttons. AB testing functionality in Adobe Target helps us gradually introduce potential offers or content variations to a portion of our audience. We monitor the interactions and gradually increase the exposure if the results are positive."
"In two weeks, we achieved a six to seven percent increase in revenue."
"The solution has some critical tools with which you can do A/B testing, multivariate testing, recommendations, and other types of testing."
"Adobe Target has built-in functionalities that make it easy to make dynamic changes. Whether adjusting colours or adding or removing elements, we can do it all with just a few clicks on theplatform based on the conditions we set."
"The most valuable features in Target are creating activities, rules, extensions, and workspaces for data analysis."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Blueshift has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to launch triggered marketing campaigns targeted to specific segments based on users' behaviors on-site and deliver relevant personalized content using the AI-based recommendations tool."

"Blueshift has positively impacted our organization in many ways over the past four years by helping us consolidate processes for getting our products into one system, improving and introducing new email streams, and automating emails, which saves us 30 to 50% of our time."
 

Cons

"There's room for improvement in Adobe Target, especially when simultaneously implementing the same activity across multiple websites. Currently, we can only run one activity per page, which can be limiting. Also, running various activities concurrently or executing near-real-time use cases can be complex and challenging with Adobe Target."
"The user interface for the form-based composer is slow, and the loading time is not optimized."
"The product is expensive for small-scale businesses. This particular area needs improvement."
"There are certain problems. Recommendations sometimes do not work when there are too many of them created. The Java script created inside the recommendation fails to load."
"I would say if Target would give you more visibility into what profiles you currently have and how you could optimize them"
"For modeling purposes, we use a different platform as Adobe Target doesn't offer custom machine learning model building."
"I think Adobe Target needs more AI features to automate some things. Regarding integration, it is easy to integrate with their AM platform for hosting websites, but it isn't easy. They need to do more work to ensure their tools are easily connected and work together. That's something I'd suggest they improve."
"There is room for improvement in the way Adobe Target handles single-page applications."
"The customer support is a bit slow; they take time to respond, and they should improve."
"Blueshift can be improved in terms of campaign management features such as drag and drop, copying elements, general ease of use, and enhancements to the UX should be prioritized."
"Regarding customer support, the response to our queries is somewhat slow, but they manage to respond."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing of Adobe Target depends on the perspective. It can be deemed as fair from a business perspective but it might be expensive for individuals."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product is expensive."
"It has a high cost, so it is not a product that everyone can afford."
"All Adobe products are a little bit on the higher side."
"There's no fixed price with Adobe; it depends on negotiations and business arrangements."
"The platform is quite expensive."
