Data Workbench end-of-life FAQ
Data Workbench’s end-of-life date is December 31, 2023.
What is included?
This announcement impacts all solutions that rely on Data Workbench, including Managed Services and On-premise Software solutions. This end-of-life only affects Data Workbench; it does not affect other features or components within ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Analytics.
Why is Data Workbench retiring?
With the release and continual improvement of ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Experience Platform, customers can combine data across channels and use them in multiple ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ solutions. Specifically, Customer Journey Analytics allows you to take cross-channel data to perform advanced analysis on that data.
Most features and use cases currently available in Data Workbench are currently available in ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Experience Platform solutions. However, there are limited cases in which Data Workbench functionality is not replicated with a respective ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Experience Platform solution. Contact your organization’s ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Account Manager to discuss specific areas of feature or use case compatibility.
What is ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµâ€™s guidance for on-premise deployments?
Customers are encouraged to move to current ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ solutions for advanced analytics. Legacy perpetual license customers can decide to continue using Data Workbench. However, ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ has no plans to support or update the product, including critical bugs or security vulnerabilities. Continued use of on-premise deployments of Data Workbench past its end-of-life date is done at your organization’s own risk.
Can I purchase consulting services to help with Data Workbench?
You can purchase ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Professional Services until the end-of-life date. After this date, no ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Professional Services are available. Some external partners might choose to continue offering services for Data Workbench. If they do, it is done solely by that external partner without any endorsement by ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ.
What solutions or products does ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ recommend moving toward?
ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ currently offers the following ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Experience Platform solutions that fulfill similar needs as Data Workbench:
- Customer Journey Analytics: Use advanced analysis techniques like attribution, filters, flow, and fallout on multi-channel data from ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Experience Platform.
- Query Service: Perform SQL queries against data from ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Experience Platform.
- Data Prep: Map, transform, and validate data for more effective use in other ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓÆµ Experience Platform solutions.
