Epom vs. Taboola

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 you want to have your company advertised on news websites across the United States then Taboola is perfect. If you're looking for clicks and impressions but not so much interested in traffic that is highly engaged and converting often then I'd suggest Taboola as an option to run traffic, too. This is the perfect platform for grey-hat offers and similar ideas. I wouldn't suggest it for running ads on your website due to some strict conditions and the fact that it might not necessarily play nice with traffic coming from Facebook.

• 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.

• I would like to see an easier way to exclude irrelevant sites that our ads received impressions or clicks on.
• Being able to bid on specific sites only.

A combination of useful features for publishers and advertisers turns Epom into a very universal ad network with diverse functionality. It is a great solution for multi-platform advertising.

It was pretty straightforward getting an account set up and having an account rep assigned. Compared to some other platforms Taboola is actually rather intuitive when it comes to navigating the user interface. Pixel implementation was easy and we didn't have any discrepancies tracking conversions. Also the ability to target LALs was very useful and semi-straightforward to upload.

We have a point of contact in Taboola and he has been really great in supporting our campaign. He helped us set up the initial campaign, answered our questions related to the campaign and even agreed when I asked for a lower CPC. Also, while he tried to encourage us to spend more, he never pushed us to the point that it gets annoying.

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.

Outbrain doesn't charge a fee for automatic credit card billing. Often Outbrain CPC for the same content is cheaper but not always. The Outbrain UX is not as good as Taboola but recent changes had made them better than they used to be. In Outbrain you can not change images or titles once they are submitted. You also can not clone campaigns which you can do with Taboola

• 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.

• Taboola campaigns have had positive effects on top of funnel activities and engagement metrics though the traffic is not always as qualified as one would like. You will need to carefully tailor your campaign to squeeze out the most relevant traffic.
