Drawbridge (discontinued) vs. AdButler

It is well suited for small, targeted advertisements. I see this happening on a large scale and it is difficult to keep departments/groups/units separate from the individual, so incorrect, inappropriate, or just wrong recommendations are made all the time. The scale of your project I think determines whether this will be useful. A team under ~30/40 people, should work great. Larger than that and wires will be crossed, quality will plummet, and expectations will not be met.

AdButler is suitable for any company size but I would said that it is better for small to medium-sized agencies. AdButler is highly scalable but the control panel/dashboard could be challenging to manage if you have many campaigns or many users. It's also a good alternative for ad networks, which would like to manage multiple relationships with publishers.

• difficult to control broad settings
• terrible customer support (what do you expect from LinkedIN)

• Assigning multiple video publishers to a single campaign is something that they need to improve
• The publisher dashboard is a little complicated to understand

In hindsight, I wish we had picked any of the other options. Drawbridge is a letdown in cost, user ability, quality of service, and support. Though I have limited experience with the other software mentioned, they surely would not have been such a letdown - in so many areas, as Drawbridge is.

AdButler is very convenient and very cost effective. Additionally, when you change a setup at the ad level, the server shows the change immediately; there's no delay. Ad Manager is better when you manage a significant amount of campaigns and users, but it's not that cheap in the end and you always have to wait for any change. EPOM is also a good solution, but the look and feel are old and it's complicated for some users to manage properly.

• Troubleshooting
• no ROI as too much troubleshooting goes into each project
• did not synchronize teams' needs
• poor user interface
• waste of time

Incentivized

• AdButler is very affordable and your ROI would be good always
• It's also highly scalable
