Adobe named a Leader in the 2023 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Personalization Engines

It’s an honor for Adobe to be recognized as a Leader in the 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Personalization Engines for the sixth consecutive year. At Adobe, we believe this report is an indication of the critical role a personalization program plays in a brand’s relationship with new visitors and loyal customers across the entire customer journey, beginning with marketing or engagement use cases at first touch and extending into customer service and support.

Personalization remains a priority for marketing and product leaders in enabling business to deliver measurable results for customer engagement, loyalty, and growth. A new era of personalization is shaping how brands are exceeding customer expectations at every interaction across the customer journey — putting people first with intentions to know and understand each individual better and their relationship with constantly changing and evolving customer needs.

We believe this recognition directly reflects the continued success and innovation of our Adobe Target customers — the thousands of brands focusing on scaling real-time personalization with one-to-one targeting to analyze multichannel data, activate insights for every visitor, and deliver personalized content, product recommendations, and offers for optimized customer journeys.

Personalization challenges continue across digital experiences

At Adobe, we are constantly seeking ways to engage and listen to our customers. Both midsize and large businesses are still struggling to know confidently that their complex marketing technologies are fine-tuned to deliver personalization to every new visitor, loyal customer, and partner.

Brands are facing market pressure to evolve how they test and experiment, deliver the next best action or experience to meet customer expectations, and align internally to execute across several business units. Data science and analytics, marketing, and development and product teams all have common pains when discussing personalization use cases. The inability to integrate data with siloed tooling, act quickly on insights and recommendations, and scale one-to-one personalization are top challenges for customers looking to deliver personalized digital experiences.

These challenges, mixed with the importance of consumer trust and privacy, push the evolution of how personalized content and offers are created, tested, and delivered from a unified view of the customer.
