Chose Bound
It has the inability to export subject line or ISP complaints that require manual pulling by each campaign when needed. Results from variable tests are also reported only as a percentage of chosen KPI (opens, clicks, etc.). There's no ability to see hard numbers from the tests …

Get Smart Content is what we primarily use to serve up segmented content. The only other method or tool we've used to do so while leveraging our Demandbase variables is Optimizely. We selected Get Smart Content because they make the process of segmentation using Demandbase …
Chose Bound
Get Smart Content is quite cost effective, simple to use with great support. The support systems and simplicity based on other products used and evaluated is the best in the industry.
Terminus ABM Platform
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
I would say Terminus is easier to use and more cost effective. It is a better solution for beginners to get up and running with ABM marketing with enough runway to advance. Their customer service team is average, but there are learning tools to teach yourself. Lots of …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
I was not involved in the evaluation process, however, I have heard that [the] Terminus ABM Platform is much more robust and the information [source] is much better.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
It's a great all-around platform. With each of these ABM vendors, you have to pay for all the bells and whistles they offer. Terminus ABM Platform "base" packages include everything you need to get started and you can add on bits and pieces like chat, email or personalization …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Where Terminus ABM Platform was better than other options we evaluated: Much better quality and reach of [the] display network. More ability to tweak display network preferences and do things like contextual content targeting. Good control over ad budgets and pacing with …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Intent data & ad experiences were more robust & allowed for more customizations. Also - the interface was much more difficult to navigate to gain reporting insights that are valuable.

Price, integration an inclusion of Bombora intent data.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Terminus is competitive from not just a pricing perspective, but [its] ability to push more campaigns, through multiple channels, all through the Terminus platform.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
I ran through a demo with the Triblio rep about a month ago. The platform seems to be very comparative to Terminus when it comes to the primary functionality. You can do display advertising to individuals based on company and other criteria. In talking with the Triblio rep, …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Sendoso and Terminus are alike in that they both work to add "personalization" into Marketing. However, they are not competitors per-say. Sendoso personalizes the physical interactions (direct mail) while Terminus works on the digital landscape. I would say Terminus more …

I do not have experience with similar products.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
None at this time. We will be researching others when renewal time comes around.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
We selected Terminus really before evaluating other vendors because they're local.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Terminus's professional services and support, along with its command-center approach, deliver a huge value to a ultra-lean fast moving business like Phononic. As a semiconductor startup that is rapidly growing, we need partners that can not only keep up with us, but also push …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Bizible is the only tool that I've done quite a bit of research on and it seems to be more advanced and further along than Terminus. They have an integration with SFDC as well as the ability to connect to a data warehouse.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
We chose Terminus because of the campaign attribution models. Many companies do target account ad targeting, but none did that plus the revenue attribution from marketing.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Engagio: their analytics platform is slightly more refined, but Terminus is rapidly catching up. It is worth just using Terminus for the cost and would be another tool to complicate the Martech stack. Triblio: for a basic program, they have too many bells and whistles that are …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
When we first went with Terminus, they had better functionality at the time and offered us a better deal.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Sigstr is a solution for commercial teams. It allows the Customer Experience or Marketing team to manage the environment without getting IT involved. Other solutions we saw were basic IT managed solutions with no integrations or analytics.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Drift has banners available in their email tool, furthermore, we are able to mimic a Sigstr banner in Hubspot when we build emails by placing the banner image with a link in the bottom of an email, it's just a more manual process.

I can't recommend any other solution over …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Terminus is a lot easier to use than other tools we have used or evaluated for our ABM campaigns. Updating what we want to see and working with their team has been a great experience. They listen and seem to understand our specific industry better. They aren't looking to …

I think the customer service and relationship we have with Get Smart Content is great

I really love working with the team. If you are looking to get more targeted in your advertising approach, leverage intent data & have your sales team utilize this data for a more personalized experience - that is the best-case scenario. You do need to invest quite a bit into your advertising to be able to gather data & see [the] influence, so if your AOV would be impacted drastically by this cost, I would not recommend using the advertising experiences and chat experiences until you can invest more.

Pros
  • Tracking/Data Analysis
  • Unique experiences
  • Reaching many demographics
Read full review
  • Event Announcements. We use Sigstr to promote hosted and co-hosted events. Email recipients can click on the Sigstr to register for the event itself. By promoting events through Sigstr we have been able to increase event registration and attendance.
  • Content Sharing. New blog post, webinar, presentation, infographic... you name it, you can use Sigstr to promote it. Furthermore, you can personalize the content to target different audiences based of the sender group. Example: customer content Sigstr belongs to support, while marketing new business content belongs to sales.
  • Announcements. Product enhancements, Company news etc. You can use Sigstr to promote general announcements relevant to the audience.

Cons
  • There are some additions we would like to see, such as a better experience in the Performance section. It'd be great if we could see an overall view of the metrics instead of having to drill down. We do a monthly KPI report which takes me a while to create due to the back and forth nature of comparing metrics within Get Smart Content. I also have to use Google Analytics to help with this.
  • We had some issues with the tool not updating Eloqua contacts, but that has since been resolved. The process for discovering the cause of the problem was lengthy and frustrating.
  • It would be great if you could see metrics of an A/B test within the campaign/rule, instead of having to go to the Performance section and find it. A small snapshot of info would be very helpful and it would allow us to compare and update the rule without leaving that page.

  • They recently purchased some new solutions that are being integrated into the platform so once that is completed it will be a much more robust solution.
  • I think updating what is considered high value vs brand awareness on the spike report could be a little more seamless.
  • For Salesforce integration, Terminus information unfortunately doesn't pull in historically, it just shows what has happened since the integration started. I think it's unfortunate because that historical data tells us a lot.

Terminus is a turn-key partner in the B2B Account-Based Marketing space. Their model is flexible and efficient which in turn provides effective results. Their sales staff is great and never tries to up-sell, but rather coach and educate our teams to be better at our jobs. It has been great to collaborate

Return on Investment
  • Allows to set up automations for several different scenarios.
  • Allows tracking links and the display of the stats/reporting.
  • It has ability to duplicate campaigns, which saves me a lot of time.

  • It's EXTREMELY hard to assess total ROI with display advertising unless you're getting clicks on your ads. Even then you probably want additional tracking metrics such as Google Analytics, form fills, etc.
  • Our sales guys like the engagement spike reports, which can be useful for prompting them to reach out to their contacts.
