AdStage vs. Epom Ad Server

AdStage is great if you're an agency or an in-house marketer managing a lot of ad budget, a lot of campaigns, or a large number of clients and you want to get the day-to-day tasks cleared to focus on higher-brain-stem tasks. Bid and budget management are replaced by rules. Holiday sales are replaced with flighting. All of your team members can log in, access their accounts, set up their reports and have them send to clients without having to lift a finger.

I started using Epom for its multi-platform capabilities, as I needed a network which would allow managing desktop and mobile ad inventory simultaneously. Epom works with desktop, mobile web, video, and mobile app ads, all within one account. It is really convenient when it comes to analytics - Epom delivers combined data, providing the whole picture on your ad campaigns. Advanced targeting and real-time statistics are another great advantage

• Easily pulling together API access for multiple channels into one area for in-depth reporting
• Automation. They helped a bunch with features that LinkedIn didn't have.
• The team. They were always super responsive and on the ball with any questions or concerns we had. The customer service was great.
• General reporting and tieing data together.

• Offers detailed reporting and analytics, providing insights into campaign performance.
• Epom Ad Server offers faster ad serving times
• Extended customization and targeting options

• More reporting options
• More export options
• Saved templates per user or oganization

• The user interface has a lot of functionality, but is not always user-friendly.
• Hardly any predefined analytics templates available. Even some of the obvious dashboards and filters must be created manually.

AdStage has been great and the only reason we wouldn't renew is if we decided to build this all out internally for API access. But, customer services is great, the product is great and I'd definitely recommend it.

A combination of useful features for publishers and advertisers turns Epom into a very universal ad network with diverse functionality. It is a great solution for multi-platform advertising.

AdStage had great support. They got back to me quickly every time, they always had or found an answer for what I was looking for, they took my feedback well, and they were knowledgeable with the platform and any issues I had. I have worked with a lot of other companies that are slow and AdStage definitely isn't one of them.

AdStage has by far the best UI and custom functionality of any of the platforms we demoed

Epom supports various ad formats, providing us with options for display ads, video ads, in-apps, native ads, and more. We also like the flexibility and customization options that Epom provides for businesses regarding specific requirements, allowing us to tailor the ad server to our needs.

• In terms of hours saved, it's hard to pin down, but we definitely spend more time on the meaningful, strategic, or artistic tasks now than we used to.
• AdStage is also a great tool to roll out during the sales process because our clients love to hear that we're making decisions automatically with data and automation rather than just hiring more junior people to push buttons.
• During black Friday this year our team all setup campaigns to flight, meaning they weren't sitting around the turkey with their laptops out. That's an ROI in company culture that's hard to measure, but extremely valuable.

• We have recently switched to Epom and so I don't have any concrete figures, but I am super satisfied!
