It's a great add-on for testing location-based user journeys. Sometimes it does not go around all geolocation restrictions (ie. video streaming) which is also understandable. Also since it's shared across the organization, the behavior of others in the network can impact the IP address (ie. black listing or temporary cool off).

For what my team uses GeoSurf for, it is well suited for jumping from country to country to quality control content placements very quickly. For the most part it is reliable, efficient and fast, changing countries and loading content instantly. Our company uses it for a fairly specific task on only our company website, but for what we use it for, it is a very powerful tool.

We use GeoSurf solely to review creative and take screenshots of geo-targeted campaigns. The functionality of the tool is great, very easy to use, and has helped us with the vast number of globally targeted campaigns we run.

It is well suited for trying to test around the world without leaving your desk. It can also help a tester or a producer track down Geo-specific issues that otherwise would go unnoticed until the game goes live. You shouldn't use it when you are just normally testing as it racks up costs.

The best scenario where GeoSurf is useful for me is when trying to assess the quality of advertising worldwide and seeing where my team hits the spot and where it does less than a great job.
I can find out about new advertising spots and placements which are not as good etc. On top of that, I can check how my competitors are doing and what do they target in each and every geo.

  • Well-suited for testing and demonstrating any product on any device for worldwide compliance.
  • Can be used for latency testing, but there are probably better solutions available.
  • Probably not as well suited for privacy; could be used like Private Internet Access, but I haven't seen general adoption of GeoSurf for that purpose. This would not help with my role at Disney though.
