    I personally avoid anything owned by Meta, but also is more complicated than Adobe to use.

    An issue I touched on is how out of control budgeting is with Adobe Media Optimizer, recommending a budget of 30% just in one keyword is when I realized that something was amiss with how Adobe Media Optimizer tracks budgets and keywords. This issue not the case with Google …

    ClickFunnels is way too expensive, and even though they claim they do so much, it is way too difficult to get it to work, plus there are tons of external costs they don't mention until you're inside the system. Most are exactly like that as well. Hootsuite is a good …

    I think it's a good way to automate and take more control during the digital advertising process.
    You can have access to a lot of data, spreadsheets and statistics, but that is difficult to manage at the beginning.

    Adobe Media Optimizer is the best solution if you are already an Omniture customer because of the deep integration and the ability to pull reports from either interface.

    I was not involved in the selection of AMO, however, we did evaluate several other vendors. Of the three vendors we reviewed, all seemed to have better UIs, better support, more powerful options for strategies, and over all, just less of a hassle to run. Each vendor had their …

    We have only gone with the Adobe Media Optimizer, as it seemed the most appropriate tool for what we wanted to use it for and offered an optimization tool as well as a reporting platform that others didn't. We took into account the abilities of Marin software and Navis, but …

    I think it is good to keep in mind the type of business application you have in mind when selecting Media Optimizer for your company. For us, as an agency, it makes sense for us to utilize the reporting and paid search optimizing portions for our clients as we manage over 300+ clients PPC campaigns. With this tool it is possible to set up campaigns easily and as long as the parameters are set correctly within the portfolio, there is a great opportunity for the tool to do its job and use the simulation/modeling process to run and grow a paid search campaign with ease of human interaction.

    Pros
    Adobe
    • An all in one solution for so many things that range from advertising campaigns to pushing out content to PPC.
    • Integration for many channels without much setup, this includes lesser known search engines and various social media partners.
    • Automation for delegating many tasks that can be a hassle to accomplish.

    Cons
    Adobe
    • As with most Adobe products, it can be a little tedious to use and requires a bit of extra training and "googling" around to make sure you are getting things right. It has improved over time within the entire Adobe suite, and I anticipate that this will be true of this as well.
    • Adobe training and learning platforms can include a lot of technical terminology and jargon that makes it difficult for a novice to understand without feeling like they need a whole new education.

    As of this writing, we have just discontinued our use of Adobe Media Optimizer. Other vendors gave us a better rate, a better contract option, and the product is just better than what we had with Adobe at the time. We may revisit Adobe again at the future, but it seems like they have a lot of work to do to catch up with the leader in the space

    It definitely takes some instruction to get to be able to use the system. One would struggle trying to get it to work without any previous experience with it. If you are famailiar with the interface it is actually quite fast and easy to maneuver around.

    They are super knowledgable and help in almost all situations, however sometimes I feel they put you on hold to find the answers themselves as they literally have said. "Can you hold a few minutes while I research that answer for you?" Most of the time they come back with a solution, other times they manually escalate it to someone else.

    It was difficult initially, but the implementation of the Dynamic Tag Manager was a big help and timesaver.

    It was a step up from Marin in terms of UI. Very similar functionality to Marin. Compared to Kenshoo Search and Google Marketing Platform it was probably not as advanced but offered the benefit of integrating with other products in the Adobe stack like Adobe Analytics, Adobe Target, and Adobe Campaign.

    Return on Investment
    Adobe
    • This has increased the number of clients.
    • This has increased the amount of productivity and time we can spend on clients.
    • This has increased the overall revenue because we can handle more than we used to be able to handle without this tool.
