    Equativ (formerly Smart AdServer)
    Smart AdServer is great for a marketing department, to track stats and clicks of their audience. It's a great way to engage the client without actually engaging them. We use it all the time to monitor where they're going, what they're interested in, and how engaging our posts are. I would say it's probably not a good idea for a smaller organization, as one social media manager could work it all out

    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.

    Equativ (formerly Smart AdServer)
    • It is easy to use, with functionality covering mobile, desktop and even tablet. I'm always on the go, so it's nice to be able to access my server from pretty much anywhere.
    • It has a wonderful intuitive user interface, every facet of this is designed and thought over, so it's easy to navigate around the program.
    • It offers a free trial so there's no real commitment if you just want to try it out, which is nice.

    • 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.

    Equativ (formerly Smart AdServer)
    • I would like a more in-depth look at my traffic stats. I can see clicks, where my audience is going, but I'd like maybe some kind of perspective into who my audience is (18-24, adult, etc).
    • Constant updates. It's nice that they're always looking to update program, but the update can kinda get in the way of my work sometimes.
    • I'd prefer it if were a little cheaper – the free trial is nice, but getting my superiors to sign off on the cost (they're a bit old school) is a bit tough sometimes.

    • Higher inventories for audience targeting
    • Greater effectiveness in the delivery of ads, as delivery takes place in many disqualified domains

    Honestly, you can use either/or. I'm all about AdServer right now because since Adobe has implemented their cloud service, they've gotten more expensive. Smart AdServer is just one cost, and it's cheaper than Adobe Cloud

    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 EVERY SINGLE feature of ONE by AOL.

    • It's helped my organization better manage our traffic flow.
    • It's reduced the amount of work on our social media manager.
    • It's helped my organization get a better perspective on our clientele - where they're going, what they're interested in, it's been a great asset to our business.

    • 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.
