Autonomy, Privacy, and Control

Adobe collects a large amount of PII automatically, requiring difficult customization to their default settings. In contrast, Snowplow allows you to define your own data, fully pseudonymizing PII as needed. Adobe stores your data, raising privacy and compliance concerns, while Snowplow offers the option to deploy all infrastructure in your own cloud environment, ensuring full privacy and ownership. Additionally, Adobe’s inability to reprocess data can lead to significant data loss if preferences change, whereas Snowplow's fully configurable tracker allows adjustments when user consent preferences are updated.

Adobe lacks flexibility and customization

Adobe struggles with less linear use cases and diverse business contexts, making it hard for mobile and IoT analytics due to its lack of granular and customized insights. Adobe's data structures fail to support custom concepts for complex business models like two-sided marketplaces, aggregator sites, and subscription services. Additionally, Adobe forces customers into pre-built vanity metrics, limiting their ability to create relevant, tailored metrics. This results in the need for multiple tools for different use cases and inconsistent data interpretations, unlike Snowplow, which adapts to the user's needs and provides comprehensive, customizable analytics.
