Overall Satisfaction with AppNexus

AppNexus is a good partner for us to scale in the programmatic space. It is used mainly by the account management team to run campaigns. It has a great reach worldwide and some exclusive publishers that provide a competitive advantage against other platforms. They have a very good support team but the prices of their inventory are a bit higher than the open market.
  • Exclusive reach on selected premium publishers.
  • Extensive vetting of creatives to protect the integrity of their ecosystem.
  • World class support team.
  • They charge to audit creatives, which is unacceptable.
  • The platform is not easy to use. Not intuitive.
  • Steep prices on their inventory.
  • It has been ROI positive for branding campaigns.
  • It has not worked well for performance campaigns.
  • It has helped us onboard better publishers.
AppNexus has more advanced targeting options as well as better publishers than The Trade Desk. Even if the system is harder to use and less intuitive they have a lot of CTV inventory and are at the forefront of the industry. They should expand on other markets to improve their offering to other DSPs.
AppNexus is suitable for branding campaigns where you are able to bid aggressively. For performance campaigns its usually harder to meet your ROI target because of the expensive prices. Also, AppNexus works better on the US market as their main focus is on that geo compared to other SSPs with a broader reach internationally.
