    Criteo
    Well suited--customizable enough to go to market efficiently and quickly. Not well suited--Plug-in multiple demand sources, improved targeting integrations with first-party data.

    AdButler is suitable for any company size but I would said that it is better for small to medium-sized agencies. AdButler is highly scalable but the control panel/dashboard could be challenging to manage if you have many campaigns or many users. It's also a good alternative for ad networks, which would like to manage multiple relationships with publishers.

    Support Rating
    Criteo
    Retail Media by Criteo's support at the start (with ERMS and Hooklogic) was pretty poor, with support SLAs exceeding 72 hours. This has changed over time to having a dedicated team--therefore the 7 rating and not 8.

    Criteo
    Cost of integration is low with Retail Media by Criteo, and Criteo's network of sponsored products is strong.

    AdButler is very convenient and very cost effective. Additionally, when you change a setup at the ad level, the server shows the change immediately; there's no delay. Ad Manager is better when you manage a significant amount of campaigns and users, but it's not that cheap in the end and you always have to wait for any change. EPOM is also a good solution, but the look and feel are old and it's complicated for some users to manage properly.
