INFUSE
From our first exchange they have been very responsive. They listen carefully to our needs and importantly they deliver against our requirements. They are agile, flexible and come to the table with new ideas. We at Siemens see them as a strategic partner at this stage and I hope we continue to work productively in to the future.

Great for setting up MEL measurements for web based media. Great for use in media environments especially where there is no dedicated data analytics staff. Not sure how useful it would be for those sites that are not content focused.

Cons
INFUSE
  • I think providing a quarterly highlights document would be particularly helpful without asking. We ask every quarter and it creates a bit of a bottleneck for us.
  • Communication via email can get exhausting. Can we explore having a joint Slack channel for collaboration?

  • It has a lot of information and data all over the place. It took us some time to get used to it and get people properly onboarded. We have seen some improvement, but UX has more space to improve.

Usability
INFUSE
INFUSE was able to get our campaigns up and running, allowing us the ability to migrate qualified leads down to our sales team. INFUSE also went a step above, by providing call scripts and prescribed touchpoints along the qualifing journey, allowing our sales teams more time to schedule follow-up meetings and create opportunities that generated potential review.

Support Rating
INFUSE
Luckily, we haven't had to submit too many support tickets. For the few tickets we have had to submit, the support team was able to send us updates right away. They were very well-versed in our issues and worked with our third-party vendors on our integration issues. We had a very pleasant experience working with their support team.

Alternatives Considered
INFUSE
I've found INFUSEmedia to have more diverse and customizable versions of content syndication than other partners that we have considered and run with. Their pricing is competitive and the value adds they have provided for certain strategies have further helped them to stack up well against the competition. Additionally, their team has been enjoyable to work with on a day to day basis given their level of support and responsiveness.
