Adobe Customer Journey Analytics is a cross-channel analytics application built on Adobe Experience Platform. It gives brands a complete, real-time view of the customer journey by combining online and offline data, resolving identities, and enabling visual, AI-assisted exploration at scale.
- Connects behavioral and trait data across channels and devices to a single customer profile
- Supports flexible, ad hoc analysis with no-code tools and retroactive data manipulation
- Uses AI and ML to discover insights, predict outcomes, and surface next-best actions
- Designed for business users, not just analysts
Customer Journey Analytics is purpose-built for enterprise teams who need to align marketing, product, and analytics on a single source of truth. It’s especially valuable for:
- CMOs and marketing leaders who need to:
- Optimize journeys across paid, owned, and earned channels
- Measure campaign performance at the creative and audience level
- Access real-time insights without technical roadblocks
- Product and digital teams aiming to:
- Improve app, web, and in-store experiences
- Understand how features impact conversion and engagement
- Collaborate on data-driven optimizations
- Analysts and insights teams who:
- Require scale, speed, and flexibility to explore complex datasets
- Need to run retroactive queries and publish live dashboards
- CIOs and data leaders focused on:
- Enforcing privacy and governance policies at scale
- Enabling safe self-service access to governed customer data
- Supporting first-party data strategies across the organization
With AI-assisted insights, retroactive data transformation, and built-in governance, Customer Journey Analytics helps marketers and business teams act faster, smarter, and with full confidence in the data.
Customer Journey Analytics helps brands overcome the biggest barriers to customer intelligence:
- Data silos — unify cross-channel data into a single journey
- Time-to-insight — enable near-instant analysis and retroactive queries
- Talent bottlenecks — empower non-technical users to self-serve insights
- Privacy complexity — apply policy-based data governance with confidence
- Measurement gaps — measure marketing, product, and content impact holistically
Traditional tools often focus on channels or sessions. Customer Journey Analytics focuses on the customer.
- Tracks sequential behavior across channels (web, app, email, call center, in-store)
- Connects anonymous and known interactions over time
- Supports identity stitching and retroactive event transformations
- Measures content and campaign performance tied to the full journey
While both products offer powerful analytics capabilities, they serve different purposes and are built for different scopes of insight:
Adobe Analytics is designed to measure channel and web performance, primarily focusing on digital properties like websites and mobile apps. It uses Adobe’s native data collection methods to gather event data and generate reports.
Customer Journey Analytics, on the other hand, provides a comprehensive view of the full customer journey—across online and offline channels, devices, and touchpoints—by ingesting any data source via Adobe Experience Platform.
Where Adobe Analytics typically tracks interactions based on session or cookie identifiers, Customer Journey Analytics uses person-based identity stitching to connect behaviors over time and build unified profiles.
In terms of user interface, Adobe Analytics relies on prebuilt workspace reports tailored for analysts and developers. In contrast, Customer Journey Analytics offers an interactive drag-and-drop environment that enables marketers, product teams, and analysts alike to explore data, build visualizations, and generate insights in real time.
Ultimately, Customer Journey Analytics extends Adobe Analytics into a modern, cross-channel analytics environment, empowering business teams with the flexibility, speed, and governance needed for today’s customer experience demands.
Customer Journey Analytics combines composability, scale, and usability like no other platform:
- Ingests any online or offline data, structured or unstructured
- Runs report-time transformations — no need to pre-define schemas
- Enables self-serve exploration with AI-assisted queries
- Connects insights to action through native integrations with Adobe Campaign, Journey Optimizer, Real-Time CDP, and Target
Customer Journey Analytics lets business users adjust data fields and views in real time—without reprocessing pipelines or rewriting code.
Update and fix data retroactively, instantly, and non-destructively
- Modify data views directly in the UI without impacting the source dataset
- Empower marketers and analysts to self-serve new questions without waiting on IT
This level of agility supports faster decision-making and continuous insight refinement.
Customer Journey Analytics is built on Adobe Experience Platform, which includes a patented data governance framework designed for enterprise compliance.
- Create and enforce data usage policies with labeling and customizable templates
- Set role-based permissions and restrict sensitive data access
- Display in-product alerts to prevent policy violations before they happen
- View and audit the algorithms used to model or transform data
These capabilities help ensure trust, transparency, and control — without slowing teams down.
Adobe Customer Journey Analytics lets you move beyond basic demographic segmentation to create rich, behavior-based audiences — in real time.
- Define audiences based on historical or real-time behaviors, traits, and campaign response
- Segment customers using web, app, call center, and offline data stitched to individual profiles
- Use drag-and-drop tools to explore segments without coding or SQL
Whether you’re optimizing a campaign or identifying churn risk, Customer Journey Analytics makes it easy to pinpoint high-value audiences based on how people engage — not just who they are.
Customer Journey Analytics connects identity and interaction data across all touchpoints — online and offline — to give you a complete, real-time view of the customer journey.
