Considered Both Products	AdScale No answer on this topic	Sizmek Ad Suite (discontinued) Collin Berg Freelance Web Developer Chose Sizmek Ad Suite (discontinued) When it comes to serving Ads, Doubleclick does a better job with QA and handling creative in my opinion. However the tagging system is more diverse and handy in Sizmek. Incentivized Helpful? Paolo Manara Head of Operations & Technology Chose Sizmek Ad Suite (discontinued) For me the main point here is the support, all the adservers offer more or less the same functionality and capabilities. The real advantage you will gain using Sizmek will be their customer support team and their open approach with other vendors. Incentivized Helpful? Lisa Cao Digital Media Supervisor Chose Sizmek Ad Suite (discontinued) We selected Sizmek because they are trusted and respected in the industry, and known for customer service. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Sizmek Ad Suite (discontinued) I briefly used Trueffect prior to Sizmek. I found Sizmek to be much more advanced technology that was intuitive and provided more than just the bare bone features Trueffect offered at the time. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Sizmek Ad Suite (discontinued) Sizmek was great for analytics, ease of us vs power, and support. I selected sizmek because of the price and team familiarity for the program Incentivized Helpful? Andrew S. Perry Assistant Digital Media Planner Chose Sizmek Ad Suite (discontinued) Both have great offerings, however they both miss points when trying to enhance day to day productivity. DoubleClick provided great detail, however Sizmek is able to show the same information with less amount of steps. Still Sizmek's interface provides what's needed but … Incentivized Helpful? Sarah Katcher Senior Media Planner Chose Sizmek Ad Suite (discontinued) Sizmek is much more user friendly, provides better support, and offers more 'planning' tools beyond trafficking.

User Testimonials
	AdScale	Sizmek Ad Suite (discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	If you need a prompt support for any kind of issue, those guys really rock. I opened tickets on Friday evening getting things fixed in less than an hour. That's a critical point for demanding clients. The main weaknesses in my opinion are the user interface that is not so user friendly and the integration with Google products. This is in place but, mainly due to Google's walled garden, the environment is not so efficient. Paolo Manara Head of Operations & Technology Read full review

Cons	No answers on this topic	Sizmek's trading desk was a total miss when I tested it a few years ago. I briefly used Abakus and did not find it intuitive, accurate or helpful. It has a long way to go before it can compete with the likes of VisualIQ. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
