The online control suite is quite amazing. If you know how to use it you can slice and dice your data in hundreds of ways. You can set it up to use first party cookies which is always nice. The performance of the reporting is awesome.

It's kind of complicated to find what I'm looking for a lot of the time. Wouldn't recommend for beginners.

GTM, through its comprehensive and easy to understand UI delivers a big boost to our marketing efforts. Targeting our potential client base who've visited our website and other platforms is easy and efficient. We've had multiple implementations of GTM now.

It's impossible to bulk admin multiple containers. When managing 90+ sites, it's incredibly frustrating to have to go in and add users to each one separately and assign roles.
