In digital marketing, focusing on a single channel is no longer enough. Customers are constantly interacting with brands via email, mobile push, in-app messages, SMS, and even web push channels.
To succeed in such a complex communication ecosystem, brands need to design their omnichannel automation strategy correctly.
In this article, we compare Braze and Iterable from this perspective and highlight Braze’s advantages in areas such as real-time personalization, scalability, data integration, and campaign optimization.
We also explain how brands bring this power to life with Omtera’s Braze partnership, using concrete examples.
Omnichannel automation enables brands to offer a unified experience to customers across different touchpoints.
When designed correctly:
However, for this strategy to be successful, the tool in use must offer real-time data streaming, a scalable architecture, and AI-powered decision mechanisms.
In this article, we compare Braze and Iterable, which best address these requirements, in detail.
Braze is built end-to-end with a customer engagement focus.
It is designed not merely to send messages, but to make sense of every interaction, analyze user behavior, and take real-time action.
Braze’s strongest point is its real-time data streaming architecture.
Thanks to this, the system responds automatically as soon as a user behavior occurs.
For example:
Iterable, on the other hand, operates more on a batch-based model, which can lead to delayed campaign triggers.
Conclusion: For real-time marketing scenarios, Braze’s streaming-first approach is far more effective.
The foundation of a successful omnichannel strategy lies in flawless data integration.
Braze sits at the center of the marketing ecosystem by offering native integrations with platforms such as Snowflake, Segment, Salesforce, Amplitude, and Mixpanel.
Within the scope of Omtera’s Braze partnership, these integrations are delivered with optimized scenarios for brands operating in Turkey and the EMEA region.
Omtera manages all technical steps—from SDK setup to data flow, from API connections to segment synchronization.
With Iterable, integrations often require manual setup. This places extra burden on IT teams and reduces scalability.
Braze AI analyzes user behavior to send the right message at the right time via the right channel.
Key features:
Omtera incorporates Braze AI into brand strategy to produce measurable outcomes:
Although Iterable offers AI personalization options, it is not as advanced as Braze’s deep learning models.
Braze’s Canvas Flow tool allows you to design the user journey visually.
This enables marketing teams to create dynamic flows based on user behavior with if/then logic.
Sample flow:
New user → post-first-purchase cart abandonment → personalized discount within 1 hour → in-app reminder within 24 hours.
All these steps occur in real time, with no data latency.
Although Iterable’s Journey Builder feature is similar, delays in segment updates can cause inconsistency in the user experience.
Braze eliminates this issue with instant segment transitions.
Braze’s Analytics Dashboard measures campaign performance in real time by channel, segment, and metric.
Key advantages for marketing teams:
Omtera incorporates these metrics into brands’ decision-making processes and builds data-driven strategies.
Iterable, however, often provides limited data detail and typically operates with delays in reporting.
When combined with the right strategy, Braze’s technological advantages deliver maximum impact.
