We rolled Tealium IQ out as a Global solution in 2015. Previously one region was using Tealium, another was using Ensighten and another was using Google Tag Manager. Rolling Tealium out allowed us to have a global solution and also made it easier for our regions to manage their own tags since Tealium has a great user interface.
  • A large number of existing vendor templates to make it easy to roll out new tags quickly
  • A robust data layer
  • Excellent user interface
  • Great customer support and large community
  • While the UI is great, it can be a little overwhelming. I am not sure there is much that can be improved. I think it just requires some good training.
Tealium IQ is for more that just adding tags to a site. If you just need to add basic tags to a site, then Tealium may be overkill. Tealium is much more than just a tag management system.
  • Tag management
  • Hopefully soon (CAPI)
  • Faster roll out for regions by non-technical users
Support is very responsive and helpful when we run into snags.
We currently only use tag management but hope that we will soon use Eventstream to help us with third-party cookie deprecation.
Teallium is more robust than the others and also easier to use. The others require a more technical user.

Not much knowledge is needed for basic tagging but more robust tagging it easier with knowledge of Javascript.
  • Rolling out marketing tags
  • Implementing analytics tagging
  • Injection of code into our site without the need for development and a build.
  • Data collection because of 3rd party cookie deprecation
The product is easy to use and useful to our organization
Yes
Ensighten - this tool was not as user friendly as Tealium
  • Ease of Use
Ease of use for our marketers
No change.
We have enhanced support but not premium support. We did not feel like we had a need for premium support.
No
Sometimes I struggle with implementing a tag that is not part of the marketplace. Support has been able to help guide me in the right direction when I have explained to them what I am trying to do and where I am stuck.
UI is very user friendly
  • Tag marketplace
  • Access to knowledge base
  • Replicating work to other profiles.
Sometimes the system is slow
Sometimes publishing can take longer than expected.

We utilize Tealium IQ as our primary digital tag management solution. We were initially introduced to it as part of our purchase of Tealium Audience Stream and it was required to enable our use of this platform. What we have found is that it helps us manage our tags more effectively and also helps improve the performance of our site.
  • Tag management
  • Web performance
  • Easy integration with other systems
  • Onsite optimisation integration
  • Time to implement
  • Initial complexity and upskilling
Tealium IQ is well suited as a tag management solution particularly if you are looking at using other components of the Tealium ecosystem such as audience stream. We have found it to be an extremely capable tag management system and provides us far more advance capability over the Google Tag Manager solution we utilized previously. If your tag management needs are basic and you do not require Audience Stream there may be other alternatives such as Google Tag Manager.

  • SEO due to speed improvements
  • Conversion improvements due to speed improvements.
  • Slightly higher cost to service due to upskilling requirements.
We primarily selected Tealium IQ over Google Tag Manager as we had a requirement to utilize Tealium Audience Stream which required Tealium IQ. Overall, we have seen benefits from using Tealium IQ, such as performance improvement and easier integration of some third-party tags. The downside is that there is an additional cost for Tealium IQ over the free version of Google Tag Manager and there has been some upskilling required due to it being a new technology.

Technical and analytical skill set. In our case they came from a digital marketing and experimentation background.
  • Audience Creation
  • Orchestration of campaigns
  • Leads Management
  • Improve speed to market for new campaigns
  • Create highly targetted campaigns
  • Link web browsing activity to behavioural analytics
  • Personalisation
We are extremely happy with the product and can see a use for it in the future.
No
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
We could see how it could unlock a lot of capability and make it easier to orchestrate experiences across multiple owned channels.
Start first with Tealium rathern than try and implement it and a marketing automation solution at the same time.

Oh and do it much earlier.
Took longer than we expected but that was down to us not knowing what we were doing. Tealium though were really helpful and consultative.
  • Implemented in-house
Yes
Initially it was deploying telaium IQ, then it was configuring our various apps to pass data to the data hub. Then it was all the lower priority apps.
Change management was minimal
NA
  • Us not knowing what we were doing
  • Unclear requirements
  • Competing priorities
  • Online Training
Did what we needed to onboard us onto the platform
Highly configurable, has done pretty much everything we needed it to
Take the time to think about what you need. Ensure your internal teams are ready to implement.
No - we have not done any customization to the interface
NA
They are always on hand to answer our questions and they push us at least as hard as we push them. It's a great partnership.
Yes, as we wanted to ensure we had the coverage we needed. It has proven worthwhile.
No
During the implementation our requirements were frequently unclear or changing and they absorbed this uncertainty and helped us focus on what was important.
Very intuitive and easy to find what you are looking for. Doing the training does help though. We have onboarded multiple new users and came across no issues with getting them up to speed. Probably one flaw is that you do need to be aware of what other changes people are making as it's possible to overwrite things occassionally.
  • Audience creation
  • Data ingestion
  • NA
Never had an issue, scales as we use it.
It's been flawless as far as I am concerned.
Really performant
It has made it so easy to integrate a whole range of mar tec products into our stack. This is why we chose it.
  • Eloqua
  • Salesforce Marketing Cloud
  • Optimizely
  • Full Story
Varied, but essentially it was straightforward
  • Salesforce CRM
Yes
  • File import/export
  • Single Signon
  • API (e.g. SOAP or REST)
  • Javascript widgets
  • ETL tools
Think about what you want to achieve first and wesnure the various systems you are integrating with are ready.
They are one of those vendors that feels like a partner. Them making us look good helps them to look good.
They are a true partner of ours
Very easy to work with and relatively cost effective

Like anything it could be cheaper but we still feel we get value from it.

We use Tealium iQ on all of our ecommerce properties for US and Europe and are planning to expand to all remaining markets in the next year. We acquired Tealium to both clean-up our tracking and allow for launching tags without having to go through IT.
  • User-interface. We have found the UI to be very intuitive which has made it easier to get use to and features like the color-coding of changed elements and labels make using the tool very eary.
  • Extensions. These are an incredibly powerful way to enrich and power our data layer.
  • Customer service. Our AM is terrific. He's very responsive and always bends over backwards to help.
  • Mobile interface. I had to make a change recently from my phone and it required pinching and zooming on the desktop site.
I feel a rating of 10 would mean that I would recommend Tealium 100% of the time, but there are scenarios where I would recommend a free solution. For example, if a user doesn't have budget for a paid solution or if he/she is only using Google Analytics. For every other scenario that comes to mind, I WOULD recommend Tealium.
  • We were able to save a lot of IT hours due to moving over to Tealium. We estimate Tealium paid for itself in about 4 months.
  • Most of our tags are now able to go live in 15 minutes. I used to take us a 2 week sprint.
  • Ensighten,Google Tag Manager,TagMan
We evaluated Google Tag Manager, Ensighten, and Tagman. We found Google's limited tag library to be a non-starter for our needs. Tagman seemed to lack resources to compete with Tealium and Ensighten. We selected Tealium over Ensighten for three reasons:

  1. Better UI
  2. Better customer references
  3. A corporate leadership we had positive previous experience with (some of us had previously worked with Webside Story)
Analytics is our owner of this tool and handles all implementation and management of tags which are requested by marketing. IT uses it when they need to see what tags are firing through Tealium.
1
I handle all support for the product beyond the on-site implementation of the Tealium tag and UDO.
  • Consistent tracking on all sites in all markets. By using a single Tealium container I'm able to ensure all of our sites are tracking exactly the same.
  • Last minute campaign launches. Last holiday I was given a request to implement a Criteo tag one week before Thanksgiving. Without Tealium, I wouldn't have been able to get this live in time.
  • We no longer have any in-page tags so we no longer have tags slowing down our site load or cluttering our page code.
  • Using extensions in Tealium I was able to create "affinity groups" that flagged users based on what product categories or brands they view the most.
  • Unique checkout path. Our sites have ~6 different unique checkout paths which make it difficult to gain insights from standard Google Analytics funnels, but using extensions we are able to set the users specific checkout path.
  • Standardizing user ID across tags
Our relationship with Tealium has been terrific. They are a key partner for our business and haven't let us down yet.
No
  • Price
  • Product Features
  • Product Usability
  • Product Reputation
Company stability was one of our top criteria. We were looking for a key partner that will be around for the foreseeable future and continue to grow and advance their offering. It was critical for us to that our chosen partner had the ambition and funds to remain at the forefront of the industry.
I would have researched tag management in general and the specific companies much more thoroughly before reaching out. This would have saved time during evaluation as we wouldn't have included two vendors and would have had more specific questions in the early evaluation stages.
  • Implemented in-house
No
  • Thinking through every scenario when planning the data layer and whether to use one or multiple profiles.
Implementation had some bumps in the road and it was new for all of us, but for the most part, it was easier than many other implementations we've done with other technologies.
Yes
For the most part we find the standard support hours to be sufficient, but one time we had to purchase a small amount of additional hours to support a project.
Our AM is the best part of our Tealium relationship. He's well aware of our sites and KPIs, responsive, and always goes the extra mile to help.
No
Due to a planning mistake on our part in the initial implementation, we had to redo a piece of the implementation after a month or two. This required far more hours than were covered under our contract, but our AM and the Tealium solutions engineers helped us fix those errors and didn't charge us for the excessive support hours.
  • Color-coding. When I first log into a profile, the "Submit" button is grey. As soon as a change is made it turns orange. This and other color-coding design choices are a great way for me to tell if I've made any changes that I should save before exiting.
  • Labels. We have hundreds of extensions, so being able to filter that list based on the labels we assign to each is a great way of filtering that list to the relevant extensions.
  • The most difficult part of using a TMS system is understanding the full impact of all the tags and extensions. For example, I recently had a variable that wouldn't pass the correct value and I couldn't understand why. It turned out that I had an error in an extension that I didn't realize was impacting this variable.
No
No interface is perfect and the lack of a mobile interface has been an issue on one or two instances.
