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.

Centralized event tracking has improved product analytics and simplified data workflows
I think Hightouch as a platform has a lot to offer. It is primarily a CRM or reverse ETL type of offering with a lot of AI bells and whistles. However, it feels to me that the entire events offering is a bit of a second-class citizen in the suite of tools they offer. I say this because a lot of the documentation is out of date, and we hit a few random edge cases when using the events platform, which felt a little raw compared to other, more mature event platforms. I would say the improvement here would be for them to spend a little more time and attention on the platform itself, or provide a little more TLC, especially from the events perspective.
