David Meindl Systems Designer Chose Acquisio Although Kenshoo might be a good fit for some agencies, Acquisio is an infinitely better fit for ours.

Emmanuelle Ruscio Campaign Manager Chose Acquisio For now I have myself only use Acquisio Incentivized Helpful? Ben Hopper \| Digital Marketing Specialist Sr. Digital Marketing Analyst Chose Acquisio We have started using Domo since we began using Acquisio and are extremely happy with Domo. We will continue to use Acquisio though because of the ability to directly manage paid search ads and the ability to create simple reports quickly. Also considering the cost of Domo, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Acquisio I have worked with Adwords, Facebook and Acquisio Incentivized Helpful? Melissa Mackey Search Supervisor Chose Acquisio We looked at other players like Marin and Kenshoo but found them to be overpriced and service to be lacking. Acquisio is very customer responsive, and the product is priced right. Incentivized Helpful? Cory Torrella Digital Media Manager Chose Acquisio Marin is great for smaller teams, but lacks in the sexy reporting. Kenshoo is the closest rival and a little more difficult to set up, but once you get it running it's great. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Acquisio Marin and Acquisio both have their advantages. Marin has an easier editor platform to make quick bid and budget changes along with a reporting system that has the ability to do web queries for excel reporting, but the platform lacks intuitive or helpful automation. Whereas, … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Acquisio We actually use BrightEdge, Netsuite, Adwords, and a few other platforms - each platform delivers results in different areas that we would not use Acquisio for.

User Testimonials
	Acquisio	smec Platform
Likelihood to Recommend	Acquisio is a really good platform to manage search and display campaigns, but it is probably not the best if you want to manage social advertising. If you are really savvy with reporting I would strongly recommend the use of Acquisio. You can make custom reports and send them automatically to your customers. That gives you more time to focus on optimization instead of reporting. Emmanuelle Ruscio Campaign Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	Easy to create reports for digital campaigns Easy to make bulk changes to paid search campaigns Easy to ensure consistency of paid search campaigns across Google and Bing Ability to automate reports and email them to specific users on a scheduled basis Bid and budget automation for paid search campaigns is successful at hitting CPA targets Incentivized Ben Hopper \| Digital Marketing Specialist Sr. Digital Marketing Analyst Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	Support isn't horrible, but it could be better. Report template creation could be a little easier. Right now, when you create a component, it goes to the bottom and you have to drag it up to where you want it to be. This feels inefficient. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Likelihood to Renew	I think the platform, with the latest release updates has a lot of great potential. The main decision, currently, is price and how that gets passed on to our clients. There has to be a conscious decision made on platform cost vs client spend and overall budget vs revenue. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	It's solid but definitely a bit gliche and I feel could be easier to navigate Incentivized Tom Bonanno SEM Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	Within the interface there is an instant chat support feature that you can use to get help right away without having to pick up the phone or look for an email address. We have have an account manager who responds to emails quickly and is always helpful. Anytime issues require further tech support we are kept up to date on the progress of the issue and they are usually resolved the same day.
