Simon vs Segment
Learn why Simon is the CDP of choice by data and marketing teams.
Marketing-friendly application
Simon is designed for marketing teams and marketing outcomes, whereas Segment is primarily an integration tool designed for data and engineering teams. Simon provides intuitive, no-code segmentation, and tools to supercharge marketing outcomes including multi-channel orchestration, experimentation, and predictive and identity modeling.

Fully Snowflake connected
Simon is built on Snowflake architecture and with a Connected deployment, you can enjoy faster implementation, lower latency, and zero data replication. Data teams get the composability they need, while marketing teams benefit from a no-code segmentation UI that’s built with their workflows in mind.

Low implementation lift
Simon offers a lower implementation lift for new customers, while customer data infrastructure (CDI) tools like Segment require heavy technical resources to implement and ongoing maintenance and support. With Simon, get hands-on support from a full team of technical and account specialists that enable the fastest and easiest path to running campaigns.
