It is well suited for small, targeted advertisements. I see this happening on a large scale and it is difficult to keep departments/groups/units separate from the individual, so incorrect, inappropriate, or just wrong recommendations are made all the time. The scale of your project I think determines whether this will be useful. A team under ~30/40 people, should work great. Larger than that and wires will be crossed, quality will plummet, and expectations will not be met.

In hindsight, I wish we had picked any of the other options. Drawbridge is a letdown in cost, user ability, quality of service, and support. Though I have limited experience with the other software mentioned, they surely would not have been such a letdown - in so many areas, as Drawbridge is.
