Mid-Size Companies (51-1,000 employees)
Supporting B2B strategies, the Terminus platform offers tactical playbooks that help teams meet accounts throughout their entire lifecycle. It is a platform rooted in first-party data that surrounds buyers with engaging digital experiences from account acquisition to expansion and renewal. The Terminus engine is built to drive ROI, minimize fraud, prioritize brand safety, and turn intent into relevant, actionable insight for GTM teams. Key benefits of Terminus: - Relevant…
Honestly, you can use either/or. I'm all about AdServer right now because since Adobe has implemented their cloud service, they've gotten more expensive. Smart AdServer is just one cost, and it's cheaper than Adobe Cloud.
I would say Terminus is easier to use and more cost effective. It is a better solution for beginners to get up and running with ABM marketing with enough runway to advance. Their customer service team is average, but there are learning tools to teach yourself. Lots of …
I was not involved in the evaluation process, however, I have heard that [the] Terminus ABM Platform is much more robust and the information [source] is much better.
It's a great all-around platform. With each of these ABM vendors, you have to pay for all the bells and whistles they offer. Terminus ABM Platform "base" packages include everything you need to get started and you can add on bits and pieces like chat, email or personalization …
Where Terminus ABM Platform was better than other options we evaluated: Much better quality and reach of [the] display network. More ability to tweak display network preferences and do things like contextual content targeting. Good control over ad budgets and pacing with …
Intent data & ad experiences were more robust & allowed for more customizations. Also - the interface was much more difficult to navigate to gain reporting insights that are valuable.
Terminus is competitive from not just a pricing perspective, but [its] ability to push more campaigns, through multiple channels, all through the Terminus platform.
I ran through a demo with the Triblio rep about a month ago. The platform seems to be very comparative to Terminus when it comes to the primary functionality. You can do display advertising to individuals based on company and other criteria. In talking with the Triblio rep, …
Sendoso and Terminus are alike in that they both work to add "personalization" into Marketing. However, they are not competitors per-say. Sendoso personalizes the physical interactions (direct mail) while Terminus works on the digital landscape. I would say Terminus more …
Terminus's professional services and support, along with its command-center approach, deliver a huge value to a ultra-lean fast moving business like Phononic. As a semiconductor startup that is rapidly growing, we need partners that can not only keep up with us, but also push …
Bizible is the only tool that I've done quite a bit of research on and it seems to be more advanced and further along than Terminus. They have an integration with SFDC as well as the ability to connect to a data warehouse.
We chose Terminus because of the campaign attribution models. Many companies do target account ad targeting, but none did that plus the revenue attribution from marketing.
Engagio: their analytics platform is slightly more refined, but Terminus is rapidly catching up. It is worth just using Terminus for the cost and would be another tool to complicate the Martech stack. Triblio: for a basic program, they have too many bells and whistles that are …
Sigstr is a solution for commercial teams. It allows the Customer Experience or Marketing team to manage the environment without getting IT involved. Other solutions we saw were basic IT managed solutions with no integrations or analytics.
Drift has banners available in their email tool, furthermore, we are able to mimic a Sigstr banner in Hubspot when we build emails by placing the banner image with a link in the bottom of an email, it's just a more manual process.
Terminus is a lot easier to use than other tools we have used or evaluated for our ABM campaigns. Updating what we want to see and working with their team has been a great experience. They listen and seem to understand our specific industry better. They aren't looking to …
Smart AdServer is great for a marketing department, to track stats and clicks of their audience. It's a great way to engage the client without actually engaging them. We use it all the time to monitor where they're going, what they're interested in, and how engaging our posts are. I would say it's probably not a good idea for a smaller organization, as one social media manager could work it all out
I really love working with the team. If you are looking to get more targeted in your advertising approach, leverage intent data & have your sales team utilize this data for a more personalized experience - that is the best-case scenario. You do need to invest quite a bit into your advertising to be able to gather data & see [the] influence, so if your AOV would be impacted drastically by this cost, I would not recommend using the advertising experiences and chat experiences until you can invest more.
It is easy to use, with functionality covering mobile, desktop and even tablet. I'm always on the go, so it's nice to be able to access my server from pretty much anywhere.
It has a wonderful intuitive user interface, every facet of this is designed and thought over, so it's easy to navigate around the program.
It offers a free trial so there's no real commitment if you just want to try it out, which is nice.
Event Announcements. We use Sigstr to promote hosted and co-hosted events. Email recipients can click on the Sigstr to register for the event itself. By promoting events through Sigstr we have been able to increase event registration and attendance.
Content Sharing. New blog post, webinar, presentation, infographic... you name it, you can use Sigstr to promote it. Furthermore, you can personalize the content to target different audiences based of the sender group. Example: customer content Sigstr belongs to support, while marketing new business content belongs to sales.
Announcements. Product enhancements, Company news etc. You can use Sigstr to promote general announcements relevant to the audience.
I would like a more in-depth look at my traffic stats. I can see clicks, where my audience is going, but I'd like maybe some kind of perspective into who my audience is (18-24, adult, etc).
Constant updates. It's nice that they're always looking to update program, but the update can kinda get in the way of my work sometimes.
I'd prefer it if were a little cheaper – the free trial is nice, but getting my superiors to sign off on the cost (they're a bit old school) is a bit tough sometimes.
They recently purchased some new solutions that are being integrated into the platform so once that is completed it will be a much more robust solution.
I think updating what is considered high value vs brand awareness on the spike report could be a little more seamless.
For Salesforce integration, Terminus information unfortunately doesn't pull in historically, it just shows what has happened since the integration started. I think it's unfortunate because that historical data tells us a lot.
Terminus is a turn-key partner in the B2B Account-Based Marketing space. Their model is flexible and efficient which in turn provides effective results. Their sales staff is great and never tries to up-sell, but rather coach and educate our teams to be better at our jobs. It has been great to collaborate

It's a great all-around platform. With each of these ABM vendors, you have to pay for all the bells and whistles they offer. Terminus ABM Platform "base" packages include everything you need to get started and you can add on bits and pieces like chat, email or personalization as your organization continues to mature through their ABM journey.
It's helped my organization better manage our traffic flow.
It's reduced the amount of work on our social media manager.
It's helped my organization get a better perspective on our clientele - where they're going, what they're interested in, it's been a great asset to our business.
It's EXTREMELY hard to assess total ROI with display advertising unless you're getting clicks on your ads. Even then you probably want additional tracking metrics such as Google Analytics, form fills, etc.
Our sales guys like the engagement spike reports, which can be useful for prompting them to reach out to their contacts.
