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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have had a positive impact from Hightouch, and one area where we had that impact is on the handling of customer data."
"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 has had a very positive impact on my organization by centralizing event collection and enforcing data governance."
"mParticle is good, and we are pleased to have it on our side."
"mParticle helps to target audiences accurately based on what we have triggered, and it is very useful for triggering audiences."
"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 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

"Hightouch can be improved in a number of areas, but one of them is being on the applicability in small users and organizations."
"A faster time to value for new customers would be a good change for mParticle."
"There is a steep learning curve for non-technical teams."
"mParticle's biggest opportunity is improving time to value and business visibility for non-technical teams."
"mParticle can be improved as it is somewhat complicated for non-technical users, though it is totally easy to use for technical users."
"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."
