Buyers not on Adobe Experience Cloud (architectural lock-in), product-led growth orgs wanting event-driven journey analytics (mParticle Indicative or Amplitude better), or buyers prioritizing short time-to-value.
Enterprise marketing orgs (1,000-50,000 employees) already on Adobe Experience Cloud with mature cross-channel attribution programs and AEP deployment.

- ! Requires Adobe-certified partners for deployment
- ! Non-Adobe buyers should not evaluate
