Tealium

Tag management leader with integrated CDP.

By Tealium Inc. · Founded 2008 · San Diego, CA · private

Tealium is the tag management leader with integrated CDP, founded 2008. The product covers tag management (Tealium iQ) + CDP (Tealium AudienceStream) + EventStream. Strengths: tag management market leadership, integrated tag management + CDP combination, strong fit for enterprises wanting both layers from one vendor, and mature 17-year track record. Best fit for enterprises (1,000+ employees) wanting tag management + CDP combined. Trade-offs: not a fit for buyers wanting just CDP without tag management (Segment cleaner CDP), pricing meaningful ($75K-$500K+/year), and Lagging upstarts on velocity (Hightouch).
