Likelihood to Recommend Post Affiliate Pro is suitable for any online business that's interested in more sales that come from affiliate partners (and are willing to pay them commission from sales).
Read full review After extensive research of DSP and DMP platforms in the market, our agency made the wise decision to license TTD's platform and develop a long-term partnership. TTD continues to innovate and offer cutting-edge media buying solutions, access to more audience data segments, and access to new and emerging media channels like CTV/OTT and digital-out-of-home. We couldn't be happier with TTD's technology and is one of the most advanced agency users of TTD is a key differentiator for our agency.
Read full review Pros Tracking works brilliantly. Split commission feature is great. Multiple tracking methods, SEO friendly links are included. SaaS version - didn't have to install anything. Read full review User engagement - Cookie matching provides better engagement and effectiveness Reporting of campaigns - Great reporting on display advertising & platforms Dashboard reporting - Scalable to global deployment & campaigns Read full review Cons Does not provide out of the box integration with Salesforce/HubSpot Requires knowledge of PHP in some use cases User interface and on-screen instructions are not always user friendly Read full review Reporting platform leaves a lot to be desired. Requires a lot of trial/error to pull exactly what you need to drive optimizations/learnings. The "stop"/"continue bidding" feature for sitelists, devices, player sizes, etc is awful. When you set something up specifically, you should not have the AUTOMATIC option to serve beyond those parameters. Trafficking video (VAST/VPAID) tags requires a manual insertion of a click URL. Completely redundant ask and is not provided by advertisers as that URL lives within the ad tag. Should not require multiple actions traffic a video tag. Creative approval process (manual) doesn't seem necessary and is not a part of peers' platforms. There is no "pause/deactivate" feature for creative, you remove them or adjust the end date. Read full review Usability It takes some time to learn how to use it. I do believe it could be a little more usable, but the support helps every time. Even new partners learn to use it relatively fast, and as the time goes by, you can help them yourself and they do not need to reach reach out to customer service.
Read full review It's very intuitive. We had some training materials, but found that users were able to navigate through the software without needing many resources. Our only suggestion would be to add hover-over capability in the browser, so users can see a pop-up message further explaining what each button does.
Read full review Support Rating Post Affiliate Pro has excellent support. It has improved over time and has a great customer support, if you have any problems. They respond quickly and so far have solved all of our problems. There could be more languages besides English, but it still works great. I can tell that the costumer service staff has a lot of experience.
Read full review We noted no issues with our limited interaction with support. The software operated just as expected and we found that we were able to navigate needs on our own. We understand that The Trade Desk offers excellent support, so we believe it will be a good resource to us in the future.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Basically both are great. Post Affiliate Pro has more integration features with CMS and Payment solutions (Joomla, Drupal etc.) but has the drawback of not integrating with
Salesforce and required PHP knowledge in some cases. On the other hand,
Referral Rock integrates well with
Salesforce and required no coding knowledge as far as I know.
Read full review The Trade Desk is a much better product than
AppNexus . Even though both products showed promise awhile back,
AppNexus stopped innovating and The Trade Desk became specialists on data, cross site tracking and CTV inventory thus having a better and more unique product that actually adds value to your advertising efforts.
Read full review Return on Investment Started using it several month ago; I can see that I can profit Gained the trust of my customers, as they see it is rock-solid software It is very flexible; it can adapt to your business needs Read full review The good thing about having an agency account is The Trade Desk lets you add your markups to the client billing. We had a very positive response from clients regarding their perceived ROI on their ad spend through The Trade Desk. We did not have many national clients, mostly local dealerships, so it was difficult for them to allocate a lot of funds to display advertising, even though the ROI yield was acceptable.
