    ClickGAURD is highly suitable for detecting and preventing fraudulent clicks and helps generate higher revenues with the same marketing budgets. The reports created by ClickGUARD are also very helpful in understanding the impact and returns on the campaigns. It also helps identifies the geographies from where the fraudulent clicks are coming to help us take preventive measures. Having detailed documentation to get it deployed and get users onboarded quickly will be very helpful.

    We haven't really taken advantages of the full spectrum of what the suite offers, but for the segment that we are using that identifies users across multiple accounts and devices, it performs phenomenally. In the future we'd like to enable auto-banning based on a risk index score that Sift Digital Trust & Safety Suite would contribute to.

    Pros
    ClickGUARD
    • The real-time notifications are one of the best features of ClickGUARD for me.
    • Automatic malicious click deflection is also a feature that I appreciate.
    • There have been instances where a large number of clicks were made, but the resulting conversions were much below expectations.

    Cons
    ClickGUARD
    • The one thing I've noticed that I believe is a disadvantage would have to be the lack of support on weekends or holidays which is understandable but at the same time, I'm sure people expect to still be supported right around the clock if that is what is advertised.

    I actually haven't found the need to use their customer support as yet but I'm sure that they are knowledgable and would assist any way they can.

    formerly know as PPC Protect, now known as Lunio. we side by side user lunio as well and only problem with lunio was pricing. no doubt lunio has better feature set to stack against ClickGaurd but we didn't required that many features to begin with. ClickGaurd is simple solution for us and we are planning to explore it full before moving to any other platform

    Sift Digital Trust & Safety Suite provided the easiest integration points plus reliability compared to other vendors we evaluated. We were able to incorporate their data into a custom UI of our own to manually audit and ban users.

    Return on Investment
    ClickGUARD
    • Prior to acquiring Clickguard, I wasn't even able to trust the numbers I was seeing and my money was being wasted. Since getting this app, there has been a total turn around in conversions, and sales have increased.
