Big data is an immense part of digital marketing, so how exactly are digital marketers sorting the data and keeping up with all its uses? What are the best tools for sorting digital marketing data?

  • Session monitoring – 30%
  • Data management platform (DMP) – 13%
  • NoSQL database – 12%
  • Demand-side platform (DSP) – 10%

In the same report, the survey determined those who pay for analytics programs for their data versus those who use free programs:
