User-friendly and accessible for anyone with computer knowledge and logical thinking
There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool. Currently, it provides basic reports and the ability to create graphs and dashboards, but I'm looking forward to more robust analytics. The plan is to enhance this feature in 2024, around Q2 or Q3, which would save us from relying on external tools like Power BI for insights.

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 I say this because a lot of the documentation is out of date, and we hit a few random edge cases when using the events platform, which felt a little raw compared to other, more mature event platforms.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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a reliable solution."
"It is among the best, even if not widely known."
"Transformation Manager is the backbone of every data pipeline these days because the solution has been on the market for 20 to 30 years, and we use it for various industries, including financial services, manufacturing, healthcare, etc."
"Back in the day, we could only get reports and analyze what happened after the fact, but today now we can generate real-time insights. Transformation Manager feeds your data science projects. We generate models and then give them to the clients, so they can come up with real-time predictions and recommendations in addition to reporting."
"There are definitely improvements in analytics quality because of the contracts they provide on the control plane, and there were also definite time savings."
"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."
"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."
"With campaigns like flat battery, for example, we have managed to save over six figures a year."
"We have had a positive impact from Hightouch, and one area where we had that impact is on the handling of customer data."
 

Cons

"We get decent support. It's okay but not great."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool."
"Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing."
"They should build a functional architecture based on queuing."
"Hightouch can be improved in a number of areas, but one of them is being on the applicability in small users and organizations."
"Hightouch is a mature product, although it still needs to catch up with leading CDPs."
"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."
"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."
