Provides actionable user behavior insights and improves feature prioritization decisions

I didn't encounter many components that were annoying. One main area of frustration was finding data. When wanting to find data about clicks on a specific UI feature, element, or button, sometimes the objects were not named in a descriptive way. That was our problem on the implementation side, not Heap's. I also found that the analytics dashboards in Heap couldn't be customized as much as desired. I couldn't adjust the charts in the widgets or the settings on each widget to the level wanted in either data granularity or physical size of the widget on the dashboard page. Additional flexibility in dashboard building and widget building would be beneficial.

Centralized customer data has powered predictive audiences and proactive marketing campaigns

The best features Segment offers are the audience building features. We've also launched predictive audiences, which is so far really promising for us and marketing has a lot of ideas for activating these types of audiences. We're going from using historical data to using current data to get more predictive with how we're activating. In my experience, the audience building tools compared to other solutions I've seen or used are really sophisticated. I've used other CRMs in the past for this, and I would say the type of data you're not getting as much of is what you do when you're activating or creating the audiences within the CDP. I think predictive audiences require a 360 view of the customer in order to create these types of AI audiences because they use a lot of different data points. How it's helping the team is by giving us more ways to reach our customers and being more proactive in the type of campaigns that marketing can launch. They have a lot of good ideas and some good things in the pipeline.

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

"Heap enables one to easily track how customers use one's applications on both the web and mobile."

"Heap has positively impacted my organization by giving our team visibility into how users interact with our application, allowing us to move from guessing to real-time information."

"Heap enables one to easily track how customers use one's applications on both the web and mobile."

"An immensely useful feature is the retention graphs with the ability to generate retention data for individual features."

"You can track customer behavior with your project, such as how the customer envisions, navigates, uses CPA, and every touch point on the website. You can plan to optimize the phases and the customer behavior of the journey."

"After using Heap, I started understanding the complete user journey because of its great feature, the auto-capture, which captures everything from seeing the ad to closing the deal."

"The initial setup process was straightforward."

"Discerning application and UX weak points, driving better user retention."

More Heap pros

"Inserting some very simple code snippets has made this part of it a breeze for our developer so he can concentrate on the hard stuff."

"Segment's scalability is amazing, and it's fully capable of handling all of the different use cases that we have in our company and we have a very complicated company."

"With Segment, we were able to clean the data and also break the data into different classes to reach specific targets with a specific message, and the outcome was very superb."

"Segment has positively impacted my organization by reducing implementation time to one-third of what it previously took."

"I like the straightforward way of connecting with various data sources and destinations. That's the most valuable feature. It has built-in integrations for a lot of them, so the overall effort required for integrations is relatively low."

"Segment has improved our data quality and our ease of collection, and most importantly, it has saved us time by not having to maintain a custom tool for server-side tracking."

"Customer support is fantastic."

"We can create our segments and users in a field. Creating segments in Tealium using AudienceStream is easier than using any other filter."

"The best thing about Tealium is that we can customize the tracking features."

"The product is super easy for anyone to learn."

"Tealium Customer Data Hub is the real deal, and my overall rating for this product is 9 out of 10."

"The feature I like the most in Tealium Customer Data Hub is AudienceStream CDP. It's the main product with many features, allowing us to build complex and straightforward use cases directly. Tealium Customer Data Hub is an easy tool to use. The client and server sides are user-friendly, especially the server side, including Tealium CDP, EventStream, and AudienceStream. Marketers without technical knowledge can quickly build use cases in audiences and connect them to vendor channels. No technical knowledge is required for these users. The platform offers easy integration and implementation. While technical aspects exist for building more complex use cases, a marketer can directly develop and implement use cases quicklyin the platform."

"I really enjoy Tealium as a whole, including its tag management part and its CDP capability."

"The tool offers a wide variety of extension stacks."

"It's a nice tool, and the data from Tealium is more appropriate compared to other tag management tools."

Cons

"Their analytics could be more user-friendly."

"Based on my experience, there's some room for improvement. The application is a bit slow. Also, I must read through old documentation when I need to check for new features. It's not very user-friendly. Once you're in the application, it's easy because it has many features. But for first-time users, you have to go through all the documents, which can be challenging."

"I would rate Heap's scalability around 6 out of 10 because we are still not completely familiar with it."

"I also found that the analytics dashboards in Heap couldn't be customized as much as desired."

"It's more expensive."

"The product could benefit from more advanced UI features."

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing has a problem because when you are collecting more and more data, it becomes more and more expensive, and the ten thousand free sessions can be burned really fast, after which it became expensive."

"The design of the website is such that you lose context when clicking around (e.g. when clicking on docs)."

"I chose a rating of eight out of ten because these video tutorials would really illustrate how to use the tool to its full potential, and perhaps some more hands-on support from the Segment team would push it to a ten."

"Segment could be improved by allowing community-based integrations, particularly for integrations available only via webhook that are not natively available, such as those from attribution platforms."

"The only challenge was the session functionality."

"The challenge is the lack of flexibility in the SDKs, given the capabilities of the destinations."

"Tealium Customer Data Hub does not provide any reporting analytics."

"Tealium AudienceStream does not support concurrent development."

"In the UI, some data is not visible. I think improvements related to bug fixing are needed in the tool."

"Sometimes, the trace ID does not work properly."

"Sometimes, the extensions do not load properly before and after events."

"The solution’s user interface could be improved."

"One area where Tealium Customer Data Hub needs improvement is that the setup is somewhat complex, and pop-up windows can be obstructive when collaborating with other team members."

"It would be good if the tool had a console inside it to help meet complex requirements."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is expensive."

"Heap's pricing can be heavy according to the usage and requirements for control billing."

"The pricing was on the higher side but it wasn't excessively high."

"Tealium's pricing can be expensive compared to others, but it's worth the investment due to its extensive features and capabilities."

"In Tealium, there is something called events, and the pricing is dependent on the event. You will be charged only if you have active data flowing it in and out."

"The tool's price is somewhere in the middle, meaning it is not too expensive and not too cheap either. The pricing model comes with flexibility."

"The price is based on event volume."

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

"It's not as expensive as other tools."
