Ultimately is the answer - 'Yes', meaning - 'How do you extract value from both?'.
In the world of marketing technology (#MarTech), there are two main approaches to choosing and implementing software solutions: monolithic and best-of-breed.
In the monolithic approach, a single vendor provides all the necessary tools for a company's marketing needs. In contrast, the best-of-breed approach involves selecting individual tools from different vendors that are each best in class for a specific task.
Technology Stack
The reality is virtually all medium to large organizations are going to have a complex stack of MarTech applications. As a result you are going to want to a technology roadmap for extracting the maximum value of out of you past investment, while setting your business and team up to move as fast as possible to execute on your Future Strategy.
The recent episode of the RevTech podcast, "Best-of-Breed vs. Monolith," delves into the pros and cons of each approach. One of the main advantages of the monolithic approach is that it can save time and resources by simplifying the integration and management of different tools. However, it can also limit flexibility and limit access to specialized features and capabilities.
On the other hand, best-of-breed solutions offer more specialized features and capabilities, but can also lead to more complexity in security, performance, integration and management.
