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.

Offloads processes on the server side but needs better installation syntax
One area for improvement is the installation process. Another point could be the syntax, as it sometimes involves using syntax names that are not intuitive. For example, to calculate the difference between two dates, the general syntax in SAS is called the data difference or data net function. However, another name is used, such as NF and INK. Without knowledge of SAS programming, it becomes unclear what these functions mean. It is not good to define function names this way.
