Swydo, by DialogTech vs. Oracle Moat Measurement

When talking with people in the industry (colleagues, job interviews, clients) Swydo, by DialogTech, has an outstanding reputation. I've recommended the service many times in one-off audits and to in-house marketers at clients who are still doing manual reporting. The Holy Grail was always getting data pushed to you so that you could analyze it and improve the business. Mondays are no longer reporting days. They're analysis days. We've also set up a number of online dashboards that we host on our site. We could use Swydo, by DialogTech, as well, but we think it's great that our site is the place where people retrieve their data.

Moat is well suited to implement into digital placements that are being served through third-party ad servers (Campaign Manager, Flashtalking, etc). It holds your publishers accountable from a viewability standpoint. If you are running high dynamic or site serving placements with 1x1 or click trackers, you aren't able to measure viewability and are at the mercy of publishers providing viewability metrics.

• I’ve experienced some issues exporting reports into an Excel doc and have to manually copy and paste data with can be very time-consuming.
• You have to manually wrap video tags with the MOAT pixel which can be a tedious process.
• Video and display are in separate interfaces so you have to export separately and then consolidate into one report.

I've never found as good a combination of value and featured data as Swydo, by DialogTech. I think that Semrush is a great tool, especially for research. And I use some of their social media templates, but the report writer is nowhere near as robust as Swydo, by DialogTech. Supermetrics also has an okay product, but is nowhere near Swydo, by DialogTech's class. Even when I'm only reporting on one platform, I find that Swydo, by DialogTech, is often a better choice than the native report.
