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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"In the first phase alone, there was approximately $90 million in savings, which reduced about 5% of inventory."
"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."
"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."
"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 is super easy for anyone to learn."
"The product's deployment phase is really easy."
"The vast amount of native connectors that Tealium has in its marketplace is valuable to us."
"Tealium's ease of use and multiple out-of-the-box integrations set it apart from other tools."
"The product's initial setup phase is very easy."
 

Cons

"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."
"However, I sometimes hear from colleagues that hallucination is an issue."
"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."
"Tealium lags is in the tag templates."
"In terms of the tool's real-time data capabilities, I think there are a few issues where improvements are required."
"It takes a long time to save and publish on the site, which can be very annoying in my experience with Tealium Customer Data Hub."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved."
"In the UI, some data is not visible. I think improvements related to bug fixing are needed in the tool."
"We did have a couple of incidences where the CDN was possibly not resolving."
"You can do anything you need with Tealium and reach your goals. You may face difficulty finding talents using this solution as it is new to market."
"The solution's documentation could be vastly improved to make life easier for people using it on a regular basis."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Tealium Customer Data Hub is an expensive solution, but it is not more expensive than Adobe."
