Adform
One of the best available solutions available for RTB, if you do not have your own or use agency's DSP/DMP/etc. this is the one I would recomment. Lot of targeting options, ease of use, great support. Or just great and cheap tool for tracking your direct buys. Also Adform has excellent customer support.

Kevel
For ad serving, implementing client-side header bidding with prebid was actually easier with Kevel than it is with Google Ad Manager in most cases, particularly for display advertising. I found though that with more complex integrations (like video), there were more solutions and code snippets available with other larger ad servers (Google).

Reasons are already given in past. They are really slow in support service.

Adform was in some usecases similar to Xaxis, however, client preferred to use Adform.

Kevel was an easier initial implementation for header bidding with prebid. The team worked alongside us to make sure everything was operating as intended. We ultimately switched to Ads Manager to access AdX demand and other features that were not possible with Kevel (for instance, EBDA). There are benefits to both but I appreciated the attention we got from Kevel support when we were first working through the implementation. We are still using Kevel for many things, just not as our primary display advertising ad server.

  • Kevel enabled us to get up and running with client side header bidding when our team was still small and the technology was still new. This improved our ability to monetize our inventory.
