Adobe Target
Enterprise experimentation and AI-driven personalization inside Adobe Experience Cloud.
About
Adobe Target is Adobe's enterprise experimentation and personalization platform, part of Adobe Experience Cloud. It supports A/B testing, multivariate testing, experience targeting, and automated personalization across web, single-page apps, and mobile.
The AI layer (Adobe Sensei) powers four automation activities: auto-allocate (shifts traffic to winning experiences), auto-target (per-user best experience), automated personalization (unique experiences from combined elements), and recommendations. Its strongest card is integration: unified customer profiles, closed-loop reporting, and consistent personalization across Adobe Analytics, Experience Manager, and Real-Time CDP. Reviewer sentiment is mixed-positive — a visual editor usable by marketers and strong Analytics integration on one side; complex implementation (especially in apps), a buggy newer UI with reduced functionality, fragmented support, and latency complaints on the other. Pricing is quote-based enterprise.
