Hightouch review

A leading 'Reverse ETL' tool activating data directly from the warehouse.

Verdict

Hightouch is a wildcard because it is not a traditional CDP; it's a 'Reverse ETL' tool that excels at activating data that already lives in a data warehouse, challenging the need for a separate, packaged CDP.

What customers praise

It provides a simple, UI-based way for data and marketing teams to sync audiences defined by SQL models to over 200 marketing and business tools, often in under 10 minutes.

What customers criticise

The platform does not perform data collection or identity stitching itself; it assumes that work has already been done in the data warehouse, making it unsuitable for teams without a mature data practice.

Best for

Data teams who want to activate audiences directly from their data warehouse without using a traditional, bundled CDP.
