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.

Rakuten Group
Great company, clear communications, fast quarterly distributions and a fun way to get paid for shopping that you are already doing. I highly recommend this service. Why would you pass up the opportunity for free money? And the Chrome extension is a wonderful add-on! Great way to remind yourself when you are on a site that Rakuten honors.

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.
