Our Verdict
Tealium is a solid option in the tag management category and worth shortlisting when you are building out a server-side analytics stack. For most teams, the biggest wins come from pairing it with server-side Google Tag Manager (we recommend Stape) so events are collected, transformed, and routed reliably before hitting Tealium.
