It has helped us improve our latency performance drastically
As a large scale high performance trading platform serving the high frequency trading community, latency has always been critical for our clients. Before using Azul Zing JVM, we would have had to spend a lot of effort tuning our JVM GC and profiling our application to minimize latency, which is…

Centralized data has unified profiles and now drives more accurate targeting and reporting
The great audience-building property makes Tealium Customer Data Hub ideal for real-time marketing initiatives. It also helps us to interact with our internal tracking system and our analytics suppliers. Tealium iQ makes tag management super easy, especially across multiple sites, and in my experience, it is one of the best features Tealium Customer Data Hub offers. I love how it stitches data from different sources in real time, making segmentation much more accurate. The built-in consent management platform helps a lot with staying compliant and managing user preferences centrally. All of these features are very great because they mainly help to unify and activate client data across CRM, billing, and marketing systems, specifically tag management, real-time data stitching, and the consent management platform. Our personalization and targeting have improved significantly with cleaner data, showing the positive impact of Tealium Customer Data Hub. Finance and business development now get better reporting from unified client profiles. Having one place to manage tags and privacy preferences has saved us both time and trouble.

Pros

"With minimal effort, Zing has helped us improve our latency performance dramatically."
"With Zing, we've now been able to re-allocate those tuning resources to general product development."
"With minimal effort, Zing has helped us improve our latency performance drastically."
"The non-stop garbage collector (C4 - Continuously Concurrent Compacting Collector) is the most valuable feature."
"Zing has completely solved the garbage collection problem for us."
"No other JVM on the market even comes close to competing with the Azul Zing."
"With minimal effort, Zing has helped us improve our latency performance dramatically."
"GC Pause times are maintained in low milliseconds, which is beneficial for applications with high volume, high memory allocation rate, and a high memory footprint, and it also increases throughput by approximately 20-25% as compared to Oracle Java Development Kit based on some tests that I have done with real applications."
"Tealium Customer Data Hub has been able to provide advanced segmentation that has allowed us to effectively reduce our ad spend while simultaneously increasing the quality of leads that we are generating by targeting key user groups."
"Tealium differs from Google Tag Manager and Adobe Launch. It allows you to manage different environments easily. For example, you don't have distinct environments in Google Tag Manager. When you want to work on development sites, preview the changes before publishing them to a production website."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
"The tool helps us see the audience's journey."
"The feature I like the most in Tealium Customer Data Hub is AudienceStream CDP. It's the main product with many features, allowing us to build complex and straightforward use cases directly. Tealium Customer Data Hub is an easy tool to use. The client and server sides are user-friendly, especially the server side, including Tealium CDP, EventStream, and AudienceStream. Marketers without technical knowledge can quickly build use cases in audiences and connect them to vendor channels. No technical knowledge is required for these users. The platform offers easy integration and implementation. While technical aspects exist for building more complex use cases, a marketer can directly develop and implement use cases quicklyin the platform."
"We can create our segments and users in a field. Creating segments in Tealium using AudienceStream is easier than using any other filter."
"Tealium Customer Data Hub is the real deal, and my overall rating for this product is 9 out of 10."
"I really enjoy Tealium as a whole, including its tag management part and its CDP capability."
 

Cons

"Although Azul claims to have a fast warmup, we still experience higher latency for the first trade when our system starts up on Sundays."
"The profiling tools included with Zing lag behind those available for Oracle's Java implementation."
"It is extremely expensive."
"We have encounter stability issues and that has been a source of frustration at times."
"However, like every other great product, there is always something that can be improved."
"The licensing over non-production environments considerably affects the cost of our solution as a software vendor."
"Although Azul claims to have a fast warmup, we still experience higher latency for the first trade when our system starts up on Sundays."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"It would be good if the tool had a console inside it to help meet complex requirements."
"Sometimes, the trace ID does not work properly."
"Sometimes, the extensions do not load properly before and after events."
"Some areas need attention in terms of improvements for the Tealium Customer Data Hub. For example, audience sizing could be improved because it can only process up to one lakh users per day when trying to get a historical audience. Improvements are also needed in areas like dashboarding. Although they have introduced new features like Audience Insights, there's still room for enhancement."
"The solution's documentation could be vastly improved to make life easier for people using it on a regular basis."
"Tealium lags is in the tag templates."
"We did have a couple of incidences where the CDN was possibly not resolving."

"It's not as expensive as other tools."
"Tealium's pricing can be expensive compared to others, but it's worth the investment due to its extensive features and capabilities."

"The tool's price is somewhere in the middle, meaning it is not too expensive and not too cheap either. The pricing model comes with flexibility."
"Tealium Customer Data Hub is an expensive solution, but it is not more expensive than Adobe."
