Advertisers can utilize machine learning technologies to define audience segments and a device graph to understand their footprints across channels. Audience Studio includes Salesforce's Einstein application, which allows administrators to gain insights into customer journeys and uncover new audiences based on events or actions. It also offers a consent management module, which lets businesses configure consent frameworks for multiple markets, request data deletion and modify rules to meet regulatory compliance across the organisation. Formerly known as Salesforce DMP, Audience Studio is sold as stand-alone and as a part of Marketing Cloud on monthly and annual subscriptions. Support is extended via phone, email, documentation and other online measures. > > Verdict: Rated **4.2/5** by 530 users.
