Adobe Analytics:

1) Can have a segment based on user historic behaviour

2) Not a near real time

3) When you create the audience for the first time , it gonna take atleast 12 hrs sometime more to reach target

4) I think there is a limit on number of audiences i.e. pushed to AT via People service.

5) If something breaks in AA and not capturing the analytics events , it gonna impact Target Activity.

 

AT:

1) cannot create a segment with historic behaviour , may be possible with some profile scripting but limited

2) near real time

3) Can create segments , which cannot be create in AA . For example based on a certain cookie..

4) Flexiblity for the marketeer 

5) no limit on then numbers of audience that are created in AT

You are limited to global segments you make in analytics. I think its either 75 or 150. In Adobe Target there is no limit or at least much higher.

@poonampatil182 Adobe Target Audiences are real time audiences and have no limit However, any audience created in Analytics as a segment and shared to other solutions in the Experience Cloud is what we call a historical audience. These audiences do have a 4-8 hour delay from the time a visitor qualifies until the visitor becomes actionable within another solution. Also, you can create only 75 Audiences in analytics that will be shared with other Experience cloud

I look at it less in terms of pros and cons and more in terms of what I need for that specific personalization.  For example, if I need a geo based audience (IE lives within this ZIP code), I will use Target, but, if I need a web behavior based audience (IE - viewed any of these pages), I will use Analytics.  In most use cases, I utilize audiences from AA, AT and AAM in each Target activity.
