Easy to learn because it has quite a lot of documentation
Depending on your business scenarios, you can use it, but the initial knowledge of Java scripts, API integrations, and data management. The tool is not a complex platform if you know about the aforementioned areas. Adobe Campaign has features for creating templates, importing templates, and creating various workflows. We used these features to launch the emails, and everything else features. In our company, we integrated Adobe Campaign with Tealium Customer Data Hub. Tealium Customer Data Hub was useful for sending some information to Adobe Campaign for various email campaigns. Whatever data we received in Adobe Campaign was sent back to the Tealium Customer Data Hub for further segmentation. Adobe Campaign can be integrated with other various platforms as well. I think the tool is easy to learn because Adobe has quite a lot of documentation, which includes a broad range of documentation along with various training portals and training materials. The tool is not that complex. From the functionality perspective, it is a very good tool. The tool's UI seems a bit slow, and since it needs enhancement, I rate it a nine out of ten.

Easy to deploy, stable, and scalable
The encryption and decryption have room for improvement. We need to be confident that the customer's data is secure when shared outside of the organization. I would like to request additional mobile app features that go beyond push notifications. As the mobile development industry continues to advance with new technologies, such as AI components, it is important to consider these advancements when setting up campaigns. Currently, campaigns are scheduled to be sent to customers at a prescribed time, but they may not be relevant to the customer unless they see them as valuable. For example, if I want to run a campaign offering loans, I would need to consider the customer's needs and balance. In the future, I hope Salesforce can incorporate an AI component that utilizes the shared data, rather than just scheduling campaigns.
