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 I say this because a lot of the documentation is out of date, and we hit a few random edge cases when using the events platform, which felt a little raw compared to other, more mature event platforms.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

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.
