Read full review Vungle works well for branding and performance as video is a high impact format that and that has good CTRs and CVRs. However, for advertisers without a lot of budget, Vungle may not be a good option as the CPMs on the exchange are very high. For branding there are alternatives that have a more developed product, where video can be targeted near content the user may like, like Teads.
Read full review Pros You are able to access to their data pool, to build audiences with just an email list (encrypted and hashed) Easy to use platform and easy way to analyze data from the dashboard. Everyone could manage the dashboard easily enough to surf through the data and understand the performance. Also you have the help of your account manager. The powerful algorithm drives good results for your company, without too much effort. And they are continuously improving with new features (design types, campaigns, platform, mobile / app products ...) Support for testing all of the integration of the events to check if data is well received. Google Chrome extension, testing mode inside the dashboard with error detection and also the help of your account manager + technical stuff. Read full review You can work on a CPI basis on the network level. Strong in the US. A lot of inventory there. SSP integration very fast and good technical team. Read full review Cons I think if they had a free trial option, we would be able to better evaluate our need before signing up. I wish there were more targeting features other than retargeting. Would love to target based on interests. Video features are limited. Would love to see new products here. Read full review Product development. They have not evolved their product significantly still offering the same videos they had 3 years ago. Slow to respond to product questions. Not enough scale on APAC GEOS.

Read full review Usability Criteo's platform is very easy to use from a marketing standpoint if you understand key terms. The frontend is very user-friendly and I personally had no issues. I enjoy being able to see key results and metrics being tracked from the dashboard. It is also easy to filter things as desired to break down data.
Read full review I would say is a standard video SSP. The reporting dashboard is well designed and easy to use and throttling options are standard. They seem to be confident about their inventory and they don't really evolve their product and add new betas or create audiences or do anything out of the ordinary.
Read full review Support Rating I think Marketing Solutions by Criteo offers a very robust solution for an ad tech platform and their support team is very knowledgeable about their product. I would like to see, though, more webinars and training about the technology behind the product to give us more tools to talk to our customers with more information and better visuals.
Read full review Their support team is a bit slow. You have to re-send your email questions constantly because the first email never gets a reply. Their core business is still the ad network which does not involve a lot of human interaction so they are still working on how to evolve their account management team to be an exchange.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Criteo Dynamic Retargeting brings different value and possibilities compared to the others. It is a great addition to
Google Ads , if you are not doing well with Display Campaigns and/or if you cannot use Dynamic Remarketing on Google cause your products are not "physical". Compared to other Retargeting solutions, its CPC based model and Post click attribution make all the difference. Finally, the account support is great plus it will help you in all aspects or difficulties.
Read full review Vungle stands out as the only video only exchange. It is their main selling point and they have carved out a nice niche that differentiates them from the rest of SSPs. Their main competition, in my opinion, is Teads, which has focused the product more towards branding in order to monetize better for its publishers by getting higher bids.
Read full review Return on Investment More Impressions/Exposure - We wanted additional branding, and Criteo provided plenty of exposure to a relevant audience for us. Benchmark for CPA - We tested several different retargeting providers, and Criteo provided a benchmark amount we should pay per CPA, when compared to other providers. Read full review We have gotten good CPAs, but we have had to bid high CPMs. They were reluctant to do a rebate deal, which is something standard once you hit a certain volume of spend, which worsened ROI. No buy sides fees, which is a big plus for profitability. Read full review ScreenShots
