Comparing different vendors based on their website info with heavy marketing lingo or making heads and tails from a few sales pitches can deem a tricky and drudgery task. That’s why we made a structured comparison of 15 key attributions features between Roivenue and SAP Hybris (Abakus).

What is SAP Hybris (Abakus) missing?
Built-in TV Attribution
TV attribution can sometimes be a tough nut to crack, yet ignoring offline activities can heavily skew your results.
Big brands still spend big on TV advertising as they know there is just no substitute to it. You simply will not achieve the same scale without it and its impact is something you should think highly of in your marketing ecosystem.
Unified Marketing
Mix Model
Bringing Marketing Mix Modeling with Multitouch Attribution Modeling can provide better answers and optimization to marketers' efforts.
Even though MTA can get you very far and its importance has skyrocketed with the growth of digital marketing, good old MMM can still come in handy. While MMM's strong point remains offline, having a unified model - MMM + MTA can help to shed a light on the entire customer journey.
Multiple and customs
DDA Models
Data-driven Attribution Models are offered by number of vendors, however for most of them the computations themselves remain a "black box" - no one will tell you how it works and you just have to trust the algorithm, take it or leave it. The same goes for GA 360.
We at Roivenue for one hate that. That’s why we provide three different data-driven models. We can tell you exactly how the math being them work. And if you’re still not happy we can import your own model into the platform.
Over the last few years several major attribution vendors were acquired by major digital ad players. Which in turn made a lot of clients feel uncomforable with their results. Some even abandoned those providers altogether. When looking for the ultimate source of truth clients are now opting for solutions that are independent of agencies, DSP or adexchanges.
We hate silos.
Companies today have a lot of data centers and clients don't have to be locked out of it. A reasonable question to ask would be whether your vendor is providing you with the opportunity to make a further use of those data. Wide-ranging possibilities of data usage can help you to produce a meaningful analysis - doesn't matter if you are marketer, analyst or just curious.
Separate Acquisition
and Retention Attribution
We don't have to tell you that it costs 5–10 times more to attract a new customer than to keep an old one. You probably also know that totally different channels, tactics and messaging are used for these two separate disciplines. So why would you work with a provider that puts all that in the same bucket?
Calculating attribution for acquisition campaigns together with those targeted at repeated buyers just makes no sense at all. Just saying.
CLV Attribution
Using CLV, marketers get a powerful tool to help them invest in channels and users with the biggest potential in the long-term. Once you know your cost of acquisition and your CLV, you can get on real stuff - optimizing. Simply put, you can spend more money on acquisition because you simply know it is gonna do wonders. That is exactly how the fastest growing players increase the value of their customer base.
Not having this capability within the system on the other hand is then a pity at least. More likely a disaster if you think about it.
Viewability and Ad
fraud treatment
Simple math: Ad served ≠ Ad viewed.
Viewability helps to count only impressions that are actually seen by the user. With ad fraud going through the roof, providers who are not able to distinguish between served and viewed impressions are not doing their clients a good service.
