Centralized customer data has powered predictive audiences and proactive marketing campaigns
The best features Segment offers are the audience building features. We've also launched predictive audiences, which is so far really promising for us and marketing has a lot of ideas for activating these types of audiences. We're going from using historical data to using current data to get more predictive with how we're activating. In my experience, the audience building tools compared to other solutions I've seen or used are really sophisticated. I've used other CRMs in the past for this, and I would say the type of data you're not getting as much of is what you do when you're activating or creating the audiences within the CDP. I think predictive audiences require a 360 view of the customer in order to create these types of AI audiences because they use a lot of different data points. How it's helping the team is by giving us more ways to reach our customers and being more proactive in the type of campaigns that marketing can launch. They have a lot of good ideas and some good things in the pipeline.

Marketing automation has transformed our customer journeys and now drives higher user retention
A specific example of how we use WebEngage Customer Data Platform for marketing automation or customer retention is that it can easily reduce turnaround time for product and marketing teams to execute marketing campaigns for specific user segments as well as remove any dependency on internal technical teams for the development and maintenance of automation journeys. A/B tests can be executed to measure the performance of message variants in real time directly from the panel regarding our main use case and how our teams interact with WebEngage Customer Data Platform. My advice to others looking into using WebEngage Customer Data Platform is that it helped us and supported us to achieve our business objectives, which were lacking with other tools, so it is highly recommendable. It is very well-suited for web-based applications and websites. WebEngage Customer Data Platform is a good tool to start with, cost-effective, and easy to use. It is a highly recommendable tool. I have rated this review as a 9 out of 10.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the straightforward way of connecting with various data sources and destinations. That's the most valuable feature. It has built-in integrations for a lot of them, so the overall effort required for integrations is relatively low."
"Customer support is fantastic."
"Inserting some very simple code snippets has made this part of it a breeze for our developer so he can concentrate on the hard stuff."
"Segment's scalability is amazing, and it's fully capable of handling all of the different use cases that we have in our company and we have a very complicated company."
"WebEngage Customer Data Platform has positively impacted my organization by reducing dependency on these teams for user engagement and conversion, improving user retention by 55%, and serving as a single dashboard for omnichannel marketing communication."
 

Cons

"I chose a rating of eight out of ten because these video tutorials would really illustrate how to use the tool to its full potential, and perhaps some more hands-on support from the Segment team would push it to a ten."
"The challenge is the lack of flexibility in the SDKs, given the capabilities of the destinations."
"The only challenge was the session functionality."
"The design of the website is such that you lose context when clicking around (e.g. when clicking on docs)."
"One thing that I really think can be improved in WebEngage Customer Data Platform is that it lacks a robust analytics platform."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing was on the higher side but it wasn't excessively high."
