    Epom
    I started using Epom for its multi-platform capabilities, as I needed a network which would allow managing desktop and mobile ad inventory simultaneously. Epom works with desktop, mobile web, video, and mobile app ads, all within one account. It is really convenient when it comes to analytics - Epom delivers combined data, providing the whole picture on your ad campaigns. Advanced targeting and real-time statistics are another great advantage

    If your client or organization is running a high volume awareness campaign, Outbrain would be a platform to diversify your mix with. Pretty low maintenance and easy to set up, you can get ads running in a few minutes. If your primary goal is conversions, there are probably better channels you can use where the targeting is a little more transparent and would likely see a higher avg conversion rate.

    Cons
    Epom
    • The user interface has a lot of functionality, but is not always user-friendly.
    • Hardly any predefined analytics templates available. Even some of the obvious dashboards and filters must be created manually.

    • Customer Service - Speaking to a human is nearly impossible, there is no "chat" function, and no phone number immediately available. Ultimately, I've had to email a generic CS contact and wait several days before heading back.
    • High Number of Guidelines - The number of guidelines one must meet before using Outbrain is much higher than any other ad platform I've used. Most of them are highly specific and not necessarily items that a website would have out-of-the-box.

    The use case is very obvious, brand awareness and low cost conversions because of its reach in billions. The platform is easy to use, well sorted and defined with good click optimized algorithms and brands can use it without hesitation. If monitored well and optimized accordingly, this can prove to be one of the best advertising channels.

    We had an account manager assigned to us, but they really didn't offer too much help outside of the financial side of things. We used the self-serve platform with mild suggestions every few weeks from our reps amounting to "spend a bit more here."

    Epom supports various ad formats, providing us with options for display ads, video ads, in-apps, native ads, and more. We also like the flexibility and customization options that Epom provides for businesses regarding specific requirements, allowing us to tailor the ad server to our needs.

    Here at AdRizer my personal ad sources primarily revolve around Google Ads & Outbrain. Taboola is extremely similar to Outbrain minus the fact that strategies are dictated on the account level unlike by campaign with Outbrain

    • Epom Ad Server met all the expectations of our ad network, our publishers, and our advertisers. The easy management and high scalability is a very nice bonus.

    • None. My perspective is that further testing is needed as well as additional tracking capabilities applied to be able to assess value. However, it's a CPC model and relatively inexpensive in regards to additional reach, especially if it's packaged in with an Earned media push into the marketplace.
