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.

Quick to set up, flexible, and stable
The scheduling part I don't like due to the fact that it allows you to schedule as a parent and child and other things, however, the error trackability has to be a little more user-friendly. It's also not user-friendly in the sense that it loads all the jobs and there are not enough filters so that it doesn't need to load everything. If the job fails, you don't get any type of alert or email. It would be ideal if there was some sort of automated alert message. Technical support isn't the best. It would be ideal if we understood how to do it in a card exception regarding exclusion, where the card is captured separately rather than filling the whole process on the data inbound side. Certain workloads like this are organized in such a way where you seem to be doubling the work as opposed to streamlining the process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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."
"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."
"Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."
"I found the initial setup very easy."
"ROI has been huge; we have a very large healthcare data warehouse and the amount of ETL code we have produced and continue to maintain would not be possible without a tool as cost effective as RED."
"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."
"Two months into the project we are currently 50% under budget due to how quickly it's possible to develop large-scale solutions in WhereScape."
"The tool supports multiple target update methods."
"WhereScape is really helpful in terms of architecture data. Everything is one of automation. Two people can do thousands of tables in one day or two. It saves a lot of time."
"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."
 

Cons

"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."
"Hightouch can be improved in a number of areas, but one of them is being on the applicability in small users and organizations."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"Technical support isn't the best."
"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."
"I would love to see a GUI interface for defining dependencies between build processes."
"The only other thing I would note is that the IDE isn’t as intuitive as I would like."
"Customization could be better. When you need to modify or write some custom code, it can get a little messy."
"As with any product, there are things that can be improved, but most are fairly minor, including things like greater flexibility in ordering job tasks."
