Cons
- Full CDP pricing (Unify + Engage) requires contacting sales with no transparent pricing
- Can become expensive quickly as data volumes and destinations scale
- Significant complexity to configure properly for organizations with many data sources
- Website is in transition (merging into Twilio.com), causing broken links and fragmented documentation
Medallia
