Overall Satisfaction with AdStage
We used AdStage as a source to bring all of our channels together for reporting, better automation, and better control of our campaigns through Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google. We also looked heavily at using them for API access into these channels for more in-depth reporting and so our internal team did not have to do that.
Before using AdStage putting all of this together was a huge pain and some of the channels didn't have great interfaces. AdStage helped ease a lot of those pain points and made campaign building easier. As mentioned, we also wanted to use them for API access but we ended up holding off. We're again looking at using them for that type of reporting.

Pros
- Easily pulling together API access for multiple channels into one area for in-depth reporting
- Automation. They helped a bunch with features that LinkedIn didn't have.
- The team. They were always super responsive and on the ball with any questions or concerns we had. The customer service was great.
- General reporting and tieing data together.
Cons
- We were with them in the earlier days and when they were growing larger. We experienced some of that pain with pricing changes that didn't feel quite right. But, they've fixed this now.
- We didn't really see the usefulness at times of optimizing some of the channels through AdStage, but we loved the reporting features they had for the channels.
- Better tiers for payment and what fits into those. Again, these are being addressed much better now.
- It's saved time for me to easily build out campaigns in Facebook and LinkedIn quickly and in scale
- It gives people the option to get direct API access to multiple channels without having to build it all in-house
- It allowed some great optimizations for LinkedIn which allowed us to use our spend there better
I'm actually not aware of a ton of direct competitors for what AdStage is doing right now. As mentioned before, they have some great integrations for deep analytics, they bring all of the different vendors together in one central place and they have some awesome automation tools that I have not seen around.

Quick Resolution Good followup Knowledgeable team Problems get solved Kept well informed No escalation required Immediate help available Support understands my problem Support cares about my success Quick Initial Response | None |
I've had several times where I was able to speak with their CEO with questions, concerns or general walkthroughs. It is great when you have that level of seniority willing to speak with you and step in when things come up.
