Adform FLOWX Ads
Considered Both Products
Adform FLOW
Chose Adform FLOW
Adform was in some usecases similar to Xaxis, however, client preferred to use Adform.
Chose Adform FLOW
First of all it was integrating well with our existing database and secondly costing. We were looking for specific kind of product for our marketing and sales team. Salesforce and Adobe we had also evaluated but they were not offering the customization we needed for our …
Chose Adform FLOW
They do not have quite the same case use so a comparison can not be made in a perfect manner. Having said this, Adform FLOW really surprises in its capability to be up to par with one of the best in class for Ad Management as well as having a bit more integrations in its …
X Ads
Chose X Ads
It doesn't stack up. Too toxic and not a business environment for me. I need professionals and not bots to see my posts and reach out to me. This is just not a place I want to be, let alone pay for it. Free is ok, but not worth the money.
Chose X Ads
Compared to Google Ads, I think X Ads is easier to get going, but can take longer to see results. X Ads is signficatly better at understanding performance than Reddit ( who I believe is the worst of the big channels out there). Similar to Meta, audience information can be …
Chose X Ads
Twitter reaches a more fast-paced niche audience than Facebook as those are the users of the platform.
Chose X Ads
Twitter ads offer different targeting and various ad products. They do not have the reach and scale that Facebook does, but it helps diversify our media mix. It would be great to have more brand-safe filters across the platform if possible in the future since some conversations …
Chose X Ads
I put Facebook in front of Twitter when it comes to preference. However, both platforms are expensive to advertise on. Facebook analytics seem to be more comprehensive.
Chose X Ads
Facebook Ads are very similar; however, Twitter Ads was selected for our business based on campaign goals. At the time, we assessed the behaviors and demographics of Twitter and how we could leverage that to benefit our business through a targeted campaign. Each platform has …
Chose X Ads
Twitter is by far the most important expensive to use out of everything we have tested but it is also the most effective in targeting the younger demographics I also am not a fan of the fact that it limits our interactivity we can only use a zip code, not specific cities which …
Chose X Ads
This is our first tool for advertising through Twitter, but we also used similar tools for Quora, Reddit and Facebook ads. All of them have similar interfaces and basics.
Chose X Ads
Twitter Ads have an edge over Google Ads Manager due to they're focused reach in some geographies. Twitter has a huge amount of information about the user which is based on the activity of the user on the platform. This helps to narrow down the targeting based on different …
Chose X Ads
More people are on Twitter nowadays. So we get more outlook on our promotions and more followers. Most people skip over Google Ads because they implement their ads way too much on one page, google ads also give an option for people to skip ads and people want to skip ads no …
Chose X Ads
I have found Facebook for Business much more effective at delivering ads and driving results. LinkedIn is also more effective and has better lead form options, although their ads tend to be pricier.
Chose X Ads
Google Ads and Facebook Ads have much wider target demographics, however, these two options out-weigh Twitter Ads which only has two options for running Ads. That being said with the lack of ad features, Twitter doesn't stack up against the two.
Chose X Ads
Compared to Facebook Ads or Instagram Ads, Twitter Ads was more expensive. However, when we only look at the conversions rate of Twitter Ads, it always had way higher numbers, mainly because it is conversation driven and allows for the customer to speak directly to you as a …
Chose X Ads
Using Twitter in conjunction to Slack helps create seamless set up. Slack is used internally, but allows the team to send real time messages and can easily QA ads before they go live. Twitter faces externally and we can execute on the client's vision. The client also uses Slack …
Chose X Ads
Twitter Ads is decent at showing its own data, but there aren't really any visualizations within the platform that would be directly pulled and sent to a client. Any data or performance from Twitter Ads would need to be pulled, cleaned up and transformed into a more …
Chose X Ads
Of all the social advertising options we've tried, Twitter falls somewhere in the middle - it's not as low-cost as Facebook, but not as effective for our audience either. It's more cost-effective than LinkedIn, but the targeting is not as robust. It's been a good-enough …
Chose X Ads
Twitter reaches a different demographic than most other platforms we use. It's an important part of the overall marketing objective.
Chose X Ads
Facebook Ads, Adwords, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Instagram, Youtube all have ad channels you can use to advertise your product. Some are even tied together. Twitter occupies a part of the market which can be difficult to get right. Mostly, we select other channels for better …
Chose X Ads
Twitter attracts more potential customers than Facebook. There are more fake users in Facebook than Twitter which also contributes Twitter conversion rate more than Facebook but gets more clicks on Facebook than Twitter. Targeting of users is okay on Twitter, for the first time …
Chose X Ads
Twitter lags behind both platforms. It is still quite useful as part of a larger campaign but patients in our market do not engage as well as we would like.
Chose X Ads
Twitter Ads for my Bank is a far more effective marketing tool than Facebook for business. With Facebook for business, we obviously get more clicks on our ads, however, these clicks always yield a very low conversion rate, in terms of users clicking the advert link to our …
Chose X Ads
Since the number of fake users is more on Facebook or any other social media panels than Twitter, Twitter platform marks the best platform to connect with potential clients. Although Facebook has more users than Twitter, Twitter gives better and potential clients. Targeted by …
Chose X Ads
Twitter and Facebook for Business offer a very similar platform for ads for a local advertising option. While Facebook for Business is a bit less expensive than Twitter Ads on a CPM basis, Twitter Ads offers a good conversational platform - instead of appearing as a Business …
Chose X Ads
Twitter has less fake users compared to Facebook and other social media platforms. It can be hard to keep up with Facebook Ads because they’re constantly making changes to their system. Twitter is similar to Facebook, you set a budget, place a bid, and run your campaigns. You …
Chose X Ads
Just recently ran a large ad campaign on Facebook and the reports and metrics were amazing. We were able to easily target the exact type of audience we wanted, recognize when performance suffered, tweak/delete, and iterate quickly. But, using Facebook for event ads can …

User Testimonials
Adform FLOWX Ads
Likelihood to Recommend
It is well suited for organisations which have big customer base and huge databases. It integrates well with the existing database and the reporting is amazing. The whole team reports can be generated using admin dashboard. Plus the campaign reports are also generated accurately giving all related details. It might not be suitable for small scale companies as that won't be cost efficient.

Twitter is well suited for brands seeking to effectively manage and tweak their advertising campaign, while also interacting in real-time with people who stumble on their ads, thus maximizing optimal result. It is also my suggested ad platform for brands who want to target the younger generation, especially millennials and those born in the 1990s.

  • Ease of use. It's very simple to add new creative to an existing campaign, or to quickly promote a tweet.
  • Reporting. I appreciate the dashboard that shows how many organic and paid impressions tweets have received, as well as the resulting engagements.
  • Low-lift advertising. The new auto-promote option makes it so I don't have to choose which tweets I want to promote.

Cons
  • Customer service
  • Integration & deployment with existing infrastructure
  • Upgrades to the platform

  • Limitation of characters to only 140.
  • While the targeting of Twitter is relevant most of the time, it is not always right and there are some ads that are completely unrelated to the search terms entered.
  • Not as many users as Facebook.

Twitter ads are not the best way for people to promote things because they do not pop out enough on people's feeds.

Just not for my company and me. Bad environment with too many bots and AI things going on. It isn't worth my while to pay to do anything on this site. I will continue to post for free for the exposure. I hope the company sells and gets better. Need to verify people are real.

Return on Investment

  • ROAS driven decisions
  • DSP Cost reduction
Read full review
  • One Positive Impact has been that having ads running has increased the number of followers we have on Twitter.
  • Another positive impact is that due to having more followers, we now have more visits to our site.
  • A mixed impact would be that positively, since we have Adwords implemented as well, we can track back the source of our website traffic to being from a social source like Twitter. The negative of it is that Twitter ads does not have the tracking capability and we still need Google Adwords to do so.
