Group Head of Data Strategy & Enterprise Governance at a consumer goods company with 10,001+ employees
Struggled to justify enterprise adoption but have valued broader developer accessibility
If I could change or add anything to improve C3 AI, I would suggest making it not just an AI platform, but a data and AI combined platform, as bringing in data management elements, governance, and cloud features is critical. The real AI and modeling represent only 20 percent of what is needed; there is over 80 percent in the rest of the world that should be addressed. Given Tom Siebel's deep understanding of corporate work and his network, integrating C3 AI with other ERP solutions such as Oracle, SAP, or Microsoft is essential. If C3 AI can be an enterprise platform, embedding more data elements and ensuring seamless integration with other ERP solutions would significantly enhance its capabilities and attractiveness. If someone told me that they have SAP, and C3 AI can seamlessly integrate the data and perform action calls between SAP, allowing me to operate on C3 AI as I would on SAP, that would be a killer feature for me. I would suggest avoiding traditional licensing sales as it is too expensive; the starting price is too high. Considering a subscription model or a pay-per-use model is the best business structure for AI or data solution vendors. The pay-per-use model benefits usage, as the more you use, the more successful you become with the platform.

Targeted lifecycle journeys have boosted engagement and have improved retention continuously
There is definitely room for improvement in MoEngage. A few challenges and pain points I have experienced include the learning curve for advanced features. Although the basic interface is user-friendly, some advanced capabilities such as complex segmentations, journey logic, and event configuration can present a steeper learning curve. Our new users require training to fully utilize the platform, and debugging complex journeys is not always intuitive. Improvement in guided workflows or more interactive onboarding would help us make better use of MoEngage. While the platform provides solid analytics, there are limitations regarding deep customization and advanced reporting, with limited flexibility in creating highly custom reports. We have noted that exporting and combining data for deeper analysis sometimes requires external tools, so enhancing analytics capabilities or offering more customizable dashboards would significantly add value to the platform. Additionally, we have observed minor delays in real-time data syncing when managing large user volumes, and event-based triggers may occasionally face delays. While these are not major issues, improving real-time responsiveness would strengthen time-sensitive campaigns on our platform. One improvement would be UI/UX enhancements in campaign management because, while the UI is generally clean, managing multiple campaigns and journeys at scale can feel slightly cluttered. Navigating between campaigns and flows can be optimized, and better visualization for complex journeys would help us significantly. A more streamlined interface for large-scale operations would enhance usability. I believe one area for further development could be more advanced AI-driven automation. For example, smarter recommendations for campaign timing, audience selection, or next best actions would be beneficial. While the current predictive features are useful, further maturity would make the platform even more proactive and reduce manual optimization efforts.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have noticed improvements in efficiency, reduced downtime, and time saved for my team, as it is quite integrated through the source ML pipeline to report to general customer UI, functioning as one platform that takes care of everything, thus improving efficiency, optimization, and increasing project deliverables."
"One of the best features C3 AI offers is that you do not need to learn Python or any specific machine learning programming language; you can use C3 AI with JavaScript."
"The biggest strength of C3 AI is how much it handles in one platform: data integration, model deployment, governance, monitoring, and application development."
"In the first phase alone, there was approximately $90 million in savings, which reduced about 5% of inventory."
"Since I use MoEngage for retargeting, I have achieved a reduction in ROI of approximately 40% on user acquisition costs and cost per lead."
"MoEngage's scope as an analytics engine is significant, and I am confident that it will provide insights to product managers to improve their products, and I encourage everyone to try it."
"After using MoEngage, we experience significant improvements in metrics, as setting up campaigns that previously took three hours on Customer 360 now only takes forty to forty-five minutes, leading to higher engagement measurable by an increase in open rates from twenty-five to thirty percent to above fifty-two percent."
"MoEngage had a measurable impact on user engagement and feature adoption in our organization through better behavioral segmentation, personalized messaging, and automated customer journeys."
"MoEngage has positively impacted my organization by helping us improve our retention from approximately 40% to 70% and activation from 9% to 33%."
"MoEngage has been helping us by enabling batch and blast communications to highly targeted and automated customers engaging through behavioral segments and personalized journeys."
"Specific outcomes that show how MoEngage has impacted my organization include real-time triggers that it offers, enabling real-time campaigns that have increased the engagement rate."
"In my opinion, the best feature that MoEngage offers is a well-designed funnel report with a timeline."
 

Cons

"However, I sometimes hear from colleagues that hallucination is an issue."
"C3 AI can feel very enterprise-heavy. For smaller teams, it may feel excessive."
"The reason I chose eight out of ten is that as a user of C3 AI, I found the operational aspect not easy to understand; it is a bit tricky, and you should have more core knowledge to navigate C3 AI."
"We even failed to open any doors for C3 AI; there are no smaller wins, learning opportunities, or process improvements, even if the main goals were not met."
"Regarding MoEngage's AI capabilities, I think there is something to improve."
"While the platform provides solid analytics, there are limitations regarding deep customization and advanced reporting, with limited flexibility in creating highly custom reports."
"Customer support can be improved."
"The one thing that needs to be improved is the customer service itself."
"One area where MoEngage could improve is by providing a feature that allows the app to maintain a persistent connection with internal organization servers."
"I would like to add a feature on which we can track the events globally as we have in Mixpanel."
"MoEngage can be improved because although the platform is really user-friendly, it sometimes becomes slow when I click and enter."
"MoEngage's AI capabilities could improve, especially in helping me determine how to target certain user groups effectively rather than sending broad notifications to all users."
