6sense vs. StackAdapt

6sense is best when we sell to a clear list of target accounts, and we want Sales and Marketing to focus on the right companies first. It works well for SDR daily prioritization, re-engaging accounts when they start researching again, and running ABM ads only to the accounts that matter and show intent. It is less appropriate when the business is mostly high-volume inbound leads, speed to contact matters more than account intent, the target market is very small, we already know every account, or we need perfect contact-level accuracy.

Campaigns for Brand Awareness: StackAdapt works effectively in campaigns for brand awareness where expanding brand visibility and reaching a large audience are the main objectives. Advertisers can target particular demographics, hobbies, and behaviors with its sophisticated targeting features, making sure that the correct audience groups receive brand messaging.

• I think one of my favorite features are the Bombora Surge topics, I'm able to take a topic that a segment is really highly active in and create an outbound sequence based on that, just targeting certain personas. Like on the buying committee, identifying activity. I can create an end-to-end campaign just with 6sense data.

• Communication: Their reps are incredibly transparent, thorough and detailed. I really, really appreciate that.
• Creativity: Not only are the reps communicative, they actually bring new, fresh ideas to the table. As busy as we are, I can't thank them enough for that.
• Easy-to-use: As detailed as the dashboard is, it's actually pretty easy to use and bring new users up-to-speed on.

• I would love to see more academy and certifications, availability, I think some easier, faster, easy, digestible courses to jump in. Certifications are great but they're very much focused on just those two certifications, so maybe more of a specialization focus on that side as well as some ways to kind of do a quick easy onboarding for first time users or those who have 6sense within their organization but don't know how to jump in and use it right away.

• There has been occasional slopping maintenance of the campaigns, and we have to follow up with questions about spending spikes or significant changes in delivery CPMs.
• Account rep knowledge can sometimes be lacking. When we question our reps about performance, we sometimes get confusing or nonsensical answers.
• The reporting UI is definitely clunky and unintuitive.

6Sense is a powerful tool, and I’m hopeful that, despite some limitations tied to our sales process, we can make it work effectively for our organization. The customer support is great, and they have listened to my feedback and provided recommendations to improve. The insight we can see is still unmatched and it is easy to digest

The platform is easy to use and understand whether it is being used as self-serve or a managed service. The audience targeting is solid, and array of placements is versatile. With these, the level of engagement for video content is usually great

The platform is pretty straightforward as far as creating new segments and what's available to do so. The launch of digital advertising has greatly improved in recent months which has been great for our digital team. Adding or removing users and updating integration points is pretty easy as well. Reporting has also been recently updated which makes reporting on usage and ROI much easier too.

It is very user friendly and if any team members need further help, we are able to easily access their customer service team for hands on assistance with an actual human being, not a robot. Their team has been incredibly kind, understanding and thorough. It is really a great all in one tool for a business who relies greatly on advertising campaigns.

I've never noticed it being down but I rarely log into the web interface

Most of the time pages load quickly and the UX is great there are moments like every platform where it is laggy though

We hardly needed any support but in the initial days we got some had to contact support for the product understanding, the suppor t was prompt and they were very quick to resolve any issues. The support team is very helpful and gives a lot of importance to unresolved issues.

Incentivized

Support has been exceptional. Our dedicated team is always available and ready to answer any questions that may arise. We receive updates from them on a regular basis and they go above and beyond providing assistance when needed. The team is absolutely one of the bright spots in our relationship with StackAdapt

It was too fast, too complex, no one could follow along. If you miss a step, you're lost for the rest of the time and there is SO MUCH to learn and keep up with.

I wasn't involved but heard it was great

I feel like ZoomInfo was a data-first company. Now they're trying to get into the ABM space, whereas 6sense came in as an ABM tool and has just continued improving and adding data capabilities. Their approach has made a lot more sense. The approach that ZoomInfo has taken—what they've built as their ABM tool—kind of just seems sloppy and not well thought out. The user experience doesn't seem as great, so it's not as appealing to a marketer trying to utilize ZoomInfo's ABM features. It's just clunky

StackAdapt has an easier self-serve platform than JamLoop, where you can also buy programmatic CTV and display banners. Though they lack audio placements, which is another cross-channel tactic in StackAdapt to reach the same audience with multiple formats. Comparable CPM rates on CTV, and customer support on both is similarly strong.

Has been used by a few teams cross functionally and the scalability of this product is great as we continue to grow

• For one of our clients, we've generated over 4.3x ROAS this year, which far exceeded our expectations for a programmatic display ad platform.
• Getting results for our clients with StackAdapt gives us an edge in attracting new clients, which helps us maintain client retention and satisfaction.
