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 …
Yahoo DSP
Chose Yahoo DSP
This platform is needed and effective because it reaches new audiences and helps our clients to grow in new areas that Google cant access.
Chose Yahoo DSP
All are advertising tools, insights, reports, advertising, analysis, which help in our daily lives for the implementation of customer campaigns, each one offers different options, without them, the company would not really survive because our focus is on programmatic media and …
Chose Yahoo DSP
Google Ad Manager is like an angel coming into your organization to save you when you've been battered, beaten, and bruised. The entire UI is a wonderful breath of fresh air. It just "works" where ONE doesn't. The costs, the learning curve, the data organization all outweigh …
Chose Yahoo DSP
I would still say that The Trade Desk and Google DV360 would rank in the top tier for DSPs, while One by AOL would rank in the second tier. That said, the progress and advancements in the last few years from AOP to ONE by AOL to the new Verizon Media platform are worth looking …
Chose Yahoo DSP
I think that each has its own positive qualities. The Oath platform is better for video whereas the TTD is better for targeting and has better levers to pull for geographic constraints.
Chose Yahoo DSP
We moved away from ADTECH (which recently announced it's closure) because it was not being updated and maintained properly to use as an ad server in today's media.
Chose Yahoo DSP
Maybe Google Analytics? But even that doesn't offer the same amount of services as AdTech – and I think that's because this is what AdTech does, and Google is spread a little thin. I use several different platforms, but I did have a lot of fun working with Adtech. Bottom line …
Chose Yahoo DSP
Brightroll transparent reporting and lower cost was the primary reason that it was selected when compared to the other competitors Tube Mogul from Adobe and Ad Roll. Also Yahoo audience network was more suited to the campaign's need in terms of reach and audience type. The …
Chose Yahoo DSP
Any good media person would have a mix on their plan and Brightroll was the "reach" portion. Unfortunately, despite the efficient pricing, the overall performance of the campaign was less than desired. Too cheap, perhaps?

User Testimonials
Adform FLOWYahoo DSP
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.

Customer demographics that are not typical of ours are being served by our marketing efforts. We've seen fast expansion as a result of the exposure Yahoo has given us. Because of the low cost per click, users can see results right away. The more traffic there is, the better.

  • Predictive Modeling - always performs well for Conversion & CPA based campaigns; out-performed other DSPs with similar tools.
  • Email Receipt Retargeting - no other DSP offers the ability to do this, so it is 100% proprietary, as far as I know.

All are advertising tools, insights, reports, advertising, analysis, which help in our daily lives for the implementation of customer campaigns, each one offers different options, without them, the company would not really survive because our focus is on programmatic media and performance. We show exponential growth because they all combine to provide us with a wide range of options that cover the needs of advertisers.

  • AdTech helps us determine where to steer our audience, and where to project our next campaign.
  • AdTech helps us view data based on user likes, clicks, and analyze trends among our audience.
  • What I don't like about AdTech is that it can sometimes put some people out of a job, as it streamlines work to the point that some on payroll may be...well, unnecessary.
