Featured Reviews

Carol Gabriel - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at Unisys
Targeted journeys have boosted engagement and support teams track user behavior daily
CleverTap helps in enhancing the user experience, increasing engagement, and keeping track of events, for example, which user clicked which event and what actions took place. It even notices which services have not been used for a long time and reminds about it. The analytics is good, and the communication made by CleverTap through emails and SMS is effective. Additionally, push notifications are great, and the segmentation of customers is excellent, including Omnichannel journeys. CleverTap has positively impacted my organization by increasing engagement, increasing activation and reactivation. I have seen a plus 30% open rate for push notifications, a plus 3% conversion rate, and a 20% return on investment for growth.

Unified user data has powered accurate journeys and reduces data firefighting for complex campaigns
Identity resolution plus the data governance together make the biggest difference for my clients. If I have to pick one, identity resolution, and immediately tie to it governance, then it makes the most sense. Why this matters the most in fintech is that fintech majorly deals with the log out, logged in journeys, phone number, email ID, customer ID, device ID, KYC, compliance, risk flags, cross-device usage for web and application. Without strong identity resolution, the same user would appear multiple times, and users would get wrong messages. Compliance risk increases, and life cycle journeys would break. This is a daily pain for them. Before mParticle, there wasn't much of a real impact. But after mParticle, we have one unified user profile with the correct life cycle stage for pre-KYC, KYC done, funded, and they are in the transacting mode right now. Reliable segmentation in MoEngage would be the third benefit. For us, there would be fewer daily escalations regarding the data. There is a steep learning curve for non-technical teams. The pain point here is that mParticle is very powerful but not a very marketer-friendly tool right now. Marketing teams would still rely heavily on the data teams and engineers for changing or explanations. Since clients sometimes feel that mParticle requires strong technical support, especially for marketing teams trying to understand data behavior, I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying that it's technical by design. Another point would be limited self-serve visibility for marketers again. The marketers would want easier previews of what data will reach MoEngage. I'm specifically talking in terms of integration with MoEngage because that is where I have put all my work for the past few years. Clients often want more self-serve visibility into the downstream data impact without needing to involve data teams. Documentation is actually very strong, and it's not very technical, which is what clients liked. It's very detailed and accurate documentation. It majorly has clear coverage of SDKs, event structures, and identity concepts. It's very reliable when the engineering teams use it. It's very thorough and technically solid. Where it could improve is that it's very dense, again technical, and it's hard for marketers and operations teams to consume. The biggest point would be that there are very few business context examples. Clients sometimes struggle because the documentation is very technical and could benefit from more business-oriented examples and use case-driven guides.

Pros

"CleverTap has positively impacted my organization as it helped me to increase my leads volume."
"CleverTap has positively impacted my organization as we use it to send communications and generate better revenue from targeting users through various channels."
"Thanks to CleverTap, we could easily create all of those campaign scenarios and make them happen."
"We have seen clear measurable return on investment after implementing CleverTap, both in terms of revenue impact and operational efficiency."
"CleverTap has positively impacted my organization because we were able to increase activation metrics like match start and match completion rates by 18 and 29%, respectively, and we saw an increase in our Play Store ratings, but beyond that, we could not continue our initiatives due to the Unity integration issue."
"Since I started using CleverTap, I have seen some improvements, especially because it has been very efficient and perfect for my organization."
"With the help of CleverTap's decision-making AI, CleverAI, we are able to easily improve our overall customer retention by 25 percent."
"CleverTap positively impacts my organization by making campaigns more organized and easily measurable, and all the success metrics and everything we need can be obtained in a few seconds whenever we want."
"mParticle has had a very positive impact on my organization by centralizing event collection and enforcing data governance."
"In summary, mParticle improved outcomes by making MoEngage campaigns more accurate, helped us trigger more reliably, and made teams faster and more confident by creating trust in the data."
"mParticle provides an analytical tool that allows easy visibility into the proportion of the segment already on the platform."
"mParticle significantly reduces the data relation friction for both my clients and me; for clients, it ensures clean, unified, and compliant data reaches MoEngage, and for me, as a CSM for them, it reduces firefighting, makes campaign behavior more predictable, and allows me to focus more on strategy and outcomes rather than debugging all the problems for them."
"mParticle helps to target audiences accurately based on what we have triggered, and it is very useful for triggering audiences."
"mParticle is good, and we are pleased to have it on our side."
"mParticle improves trust in data across teams, and this stands out because once governance and identity are centralized, teams stop arguing about data inconsistencies and start acting on insights."
 

Cons

"I would recommend improving the website loading time because whenever I open the CleverTap website to see my dashboard data, it takes a bit of time."
"From a product manager's perspective, CleverTap follows a usage-based and tier pricing model, which is fairly standard for customer engagement platforms, but it comes with both advantages and some complexity."
"CleverTap can be improved as their pricing needs to be lower because I think that CleverTap is one of the pricey platforms in the CRM field."
"In my experience, CleverTap is not stable, at least for Unity."
"CleverTap's accuracy and reliability of output are about sixty to seventy percent accurate, and for the rest, they need to make significant improvements to match capabilities found in systems like Gemini or ChatGPT."
"One area of improvement I would suggest for CleverTap can be on the user interface; it is not very user-friendly."
"CleverTap can be improved by adding some basic functionality to journeys that would allow me to target dynamically previous users who have visited the homepage but have not made a purchase in the last 15 days, as there is currently no way to communicate with them dynamically, only a static base is available."
"From a product manager's perspective, CleverTap follows a usage-based and tier pricing model, which is fairly standard for customer engagement platforms, but it comes with both advantages and some complexity."
"mParticle can be improved as it is somewhat complicated for non-technical users, though it is totally easy to use for technical users."
"I give it a five because in comparison to other tools I have deployed, mParticle seems less favorable due to its limitations."
"A faster time to value for new customers would be a good change for mParticle."
"mParticle's biggest opportunity is improving time to value and business visibility for non-technical teams."
"There is a steep learning curve for non-technical teams."
"mParticle can be improved in showing the event counts; currently, it only displays counts by hour, and I would find it beneficial to add a feature that indicates the exact minute the event is received."
