Retargeting campaigns have reduced booking cancellations but new users still need clearer guidance
I believe that retargeting is the best feature that Insider offers. The ease of use and the results are why the retargeting feature stands out for me. Insider reads the results near real-time and provides AI segmentation. We only need to prompt, and then Insider will work to determine which segment is best for each campaign. Insider has helped me to reduce cancellation bookings by about 15% year-over-year. This is tracked through Insider; however, we also add additional attribution using AppsFlyer. We see significantly fewer employees needed for outbound calls because with Insider, we perform a reconfirmation of booking schedules automatically. This allows us to reduce the need for customer service outbound agents, and Insider has also helped us reduce cancellations.

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

"Insider has helped me to reduce cancellation bookings by about 15% year-over-year."
"Insider is simple to use, making it easy to learn and navigate the platform, so the learning curve is fast."
"mParticle provides an analytical tool that allows easy visibility into the proportion of the segment already on the platform."
"mParticle helps to target audiences accurately based on what we have triggered, and it is very useful for triggering audiences."
"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 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."
"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."
 

Cons

"I did not enjoy using Insider AI to generate copies, push copies, and messages."
"I think that Insider can be improved on the UI side because for someone with experience, Insider would be a very great tool."
"I give it a five because in comparison to other tools I have deployed, mParticle seems less favorable due to its limitations."
"A faster time to value for new customers would be a good change for mParticle."
"mParticle's biggest opportunity is improving time to value and business visibility for non-technical teams."
"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."
"There is a steep learning curve 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."
