What makes Celebrus data capture better than Segment?

Segment operates as a data routing platform with manual schema requirements and batch processing delays. Celebrus captures behavioral context automatically.

Automatic behavioral capture vs. Segment's manual tracking plans
Real-time activation vs. Segment's pipeline delays
No schema planning vs. Segment's strict schema requirements
Unlimited data retention vs. Segment's 3-year maximum
Complete behavioral context vs. Segment's lightweight tracking

How does Celebrus identity resolution surpass Segment?

Segment's identity resolution is deterministic-only and limited to schema-defined rules. Celebrus provides advanced behavioral stitching capabilities.

Behavioral identity stitching vs. Segment's deterministic-only approach
Real-time processing vs. Segment's batch sync requirements
Advanced matching capabilities vs. Segment's schema limitations
Cross-session continuity vs. Segment's session-based tracking
No identity dependency vs. Segment's consistent ID requirements

Why is Celebrus simpler to deploy than Segment?

Segment requires 1-3 months of schema planning and tracking implementation. Celebrus eliminates manual tagging complexity.

Under 1 month deployment vs. Segment's 1-3 month timeline
No schema planning vs. Segment's strict tracking plan requirements
Complete data ownership vs. Segment's cloud-hosted limitations
Built-in analytics vs. Segment's external BI tool requirements
HIPAA compliance vs. Segment's lack of healthcare support

I have a CDP. Why do I need another data collection tool?

70-90% of all CDP projects fail. Why? Because CDPs don’t work without good data. CDPs bring data together but don't actually collect it, and they often rely on antiquated tagging methodologies for data capture. They’re not live-time because they’re dependent on the source data and the time it takes to compile and send it. You get incomplete and inaccurate data from a variety of sources and spend all your time simply trying to make it usable. Between the latency and the inaccuracies, you end up with a massive dataset that’s unreliable and not available when you need it.

Celebrus fills the data gap for your CDP and solves the digital challenges brands face today, such as:

Capturing AND delivering data in live time
Identity resolution for anonymous users
Stitching identity across domains, channels, and devices
Multiple live-time integrations
Compliance management for instant activation
