Henry Ngeno - PeerSpot reviewer
Operations Manager at a security firm with 10,001+ employees
Customer data has improved our real-time campaigns but onboarding and setup still need support
Hightouch can be improved in a number of areas, but one of them is being on the applicability in small users and organizations. Small organizations that do not have that secure data infrastructure or that expanded customer data may find it complex to acquire the platform and use it. Therefore, they may resort to using other manual methods, and this may bring a disadvantage in their customer data handling processes. Still further, there is the learning curve being encountered by users who are not that tech-savvy. New people or employees who are fresh from other fields cannot be thrown directly into using and handling customer data. They need time and that training or that initial period of orientation to be pretty intense for them to grasp what is required of them and what to expect and not to expect from the platform. Regarding any technical limitations I've noticed, I can add the requirement to have a robust data warehouse system. Hightouch cannot be used with big or opaque data warehousing systems that are not accurate. So its success also depends on the infrastructure that you have put in terms of data storage and handling. That also calls for an upgrade in that department and increases the price of acquiring the platform.

Pros

"We switched to CloverETL because of its flexibility to connect to various data sources and no dependence on native language and ease of use."
"No dependence on native language and ease of use.​​"
"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."
"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"Familiar, intuitive GUI coming from a Java development background, in-depth, descriptive, and well-laid-out documentation, responsive support through forums directly from Clover staff, a wealth of customizable pre-defined components, descriptive logging for error messages, and ease of install with a light footprint make it very effective to use."
"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."
"With campaigns like flat battery, for example, we have managed to save over six figures a year."
"The feature that made the biggest difference day-to-day is Hightouch's ability to create normalized, performant data models, which could truly aid enterprises dealing with a variety of data systems."
"Hightouch's best features include a simple and easy-to-navigate user interface, which means there is not much of a learning curve involved, simplifying the process of setting it up and selecting desired fields along with using the query editor."
"We have had a positive impact from Hightouch, and one area where we had that impact is on the handling of customer data."
 

Cons

"Its documentation could be improved.​"
"​Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough.​"
"Needs easier automated failure recovery, more and more intuitive auto-generated or filled-in code for components, and easier or more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."
"Hightouch is a mature product, although it still needs to catch up with leading CDPs."
"Hightouch can be improved in a number of areas, but one of them is being on the applicability in small users and organizations."
"I still think it is a bit clunky in some areas and it can be improved further; it is not a perfect tool yet, but it definitely does as advertised."
