This is used by our whole department as our ad server. This allows us to track all of our media buys as well as monitor viewability and verification.
  • Implementation of creative. Sizmek allows for the creative shop to build directly in the platform which comes in handy more often than not
  • Verification suite is easy to use and gather insights.
  • Customer support. Any time I need anything, there's always someone there to help.
  • Some of the reports take a long time to pull; could be quicker
  • Occasionally there are issues when setting up new media plans - placements not sticking, etc.
  • Wish that the search functionality was better

  • Increased employee efficiency - by making placements in bulk we save a lot of time
Paolo Manara | TrustRadius Reviewer
Score 8 out of 10

As an ad server, it is used by ad ops in order to track marketing campaigns, implement 3rd party tracking pixels and to track users behaviors on the website. By marketers in order to monitor the marketing initiatives.
  • Customer support
  • Flexibility
  • Partnerships
  • UI
  • Google adwords integration dependencies
  • Debugging tools
If you need a prompt support for any kind of issue, those guys really rock. I opened tickets on Friday evening getting things fixed in less than an hour. That's a critical point for demanding clients. The main weaknesses in my opinion are the user interface that is not so user friendly and the integration with Google products. This is in place but, mainly due to Google's walled garden, the environment is not so efficient.

  • Savings on adserving costs
  • Better customer support offered to the client
  • Reduce campaign go live
For me the main point here is the support, all the adservers offer more or less the same functionality and capabilities. The real advantage you will gain using Sizmek will be their customer support team and their open approach with other vendors.

It was used as an ad server by department--I was on the BMW/MINI team that used it. It helps consolidate creative by placement (easy to view creative in the server) and there's good customer service support.
  • Sizmek is user-friendly--there are help guides easily available
  • Sizmek has great customer service--dedicated account team to support questions
  • Export function should export files in a smaller Excel size
  • An online walk-through for beginners
Sizmek is great for a full-service media agency due to its ease of use and customer service. When I was at a large media agency, Sizmek was a very useful ad-server for junior media buyers to learn transparency in all aspects of the media buying process.

We use an ad ops team but also have our digital planners use as well. It allows us to track our digital. Campaigns
  • Report pulls
  • Ad management
  • Advanced analytics
  • Bulk uploads
  • API sync with Prisma was sometimes faulty
Sizmek should be used in all digital campaigns whether to track click tags or in depth campaigns. Use of the P2C tools and other reporting makes this a must have tool for any digital campaign manager

Sizmek is my favorite

I've previously used Sizmek as our ad server, RFP/Proposal process manager, and reporting tool. Sizmek created a seamless transition from one step to the next, is user friendly, and dynamic to allow the user to do whatever they need. I love Sizmek.
  • Smart Planning - this is the tool that provides a process for RFPs, Proposals, and Final IO issuance. This tool was great not only to facilitate these processes, but housed all of these documents on a platform that anyone can view at a later date, prevented errors, and cut time in evaluation and implementation
  • Reporting - the reporting interface is very user friendly and can pull whatever you need. The export is easily made into a pivot as opposed to being formatted, and made our analytics timeline more client-appeasing
  • Support - the Sizmek support team is AMAZING! Very responsive, helpful, and timely.
  • Making changes to existing/live placements can be difficult, but I don't think this can be avoided in any ad server
Sizmek overall is my favorite ad server, media tool, and reporting interface. I'd recommend Sizmek for anyone.

  • Process efficiency
  • Reporting capabilities
  • Customer service
  • dcm, adswerve and dfa
Sizmek is much more user friendly, provides better support, and offers more 'planning' tools beyond trafficking.
