How to evaluate Marketing & CDP
This is how the CIOPages Research Team evaluates this category. It is not an assessment of Braze. The category covers two kinds of product, so both frameworks are here. Most buyers need one of them.
Customer Data Platform (CDP)
25%
Identity Resolution & Profile Quality
Deterministic and probabilistic matching across email, device, cookie, and offline keys; match accuracy on your real (messy) data; household/B2B account stitching; transparency and tunability of the match logic; how the golden record is survived and exposed
20%
Data Architecture & Ownership
Packaged store vs. warehouse-native vs. zero-copy on Snowflake/Databricks/BigQuery; whether PII leaves your boundary; data duplication and reverse-ETL model; who holds the canonical profile; portability and lock-in if you leave
20%
Real-Time Activation & Audiences
Streaming vs. batch profile updates and in-session segmentation; audience builder usability for marketers; breadth and freshness of destination connectors (ad platforms, ESP/MAP, ad-tech, support); reverse-ETL sync latency and reliability
15%
Consent, Privacy & Governance
Consent capture and enforcement at the point of activation; CMP/OneTrust integration; data-subject access and deletion propagation to destinations; PII tagging and field-level governance; regional residency controls
10%
Data Collection & Quality
First-party event collection SDKs (web, mobile, server); schema validation and data-contract enforcement before bad data lands; warehouse and batch ingestion; tracking-plan governance to keep the profile foundation clean
10%
Predictive & Generative AI
Built-in propensity/churn/LTV models; natural-language and agentic audience building; next-best-action and decisioning; whether models run on the warehouse or require export; explainability of AI-generated segments

20%
Data, Identity & Segmentation
Unified customer profile vs. a list database behind a segmentation UI, real-time vs. batch segment evaluation, behavioral and computed traits, warehouse-native ingest / reverse-ETL, and how identity is resolved across email, device, and account
18%
CRM, CDP & Ecosystem Integration
Depth and direction of CRM sync (Salesforce, Dynamics, HubSpot CRM — bidirectional, field-level, conflict handling), CDP / Data Cloud / Segment integration, native connectors and webhook/API coverage, and ownership of the system of record for the customer
