    Acquisio is ideal for marketing agencies, especially those that focus on serving a specific market. If your Agency has access to client data, depending on the data, Acquisio's software could be a powerful way to deliver that data in the form of online ads. Acquisio might be too powerful for a small business looking to manage campaigns in-house.

    [AdEspresso is] great if you have a smaller budget or are just getting started with Facebook advertising. You can easily create ads and publish them in minutes after everything is set up for your account. I would recommended trying it if you don't have a lot of experience, but not to manage a large account with multiple clients (10+)

    Pros
    Newfold Digital (Endurance + Web.com)
    • Provides multiple methods of viewing and sharing campaign data. It is definitely an upgrade from the basic PPC reports. Fully customizable and new features are being added regularly.
    • Acquisio now provides support for the importation of the video campaign data. This saves her company lots of time as we used to have to do this process manually.
    • Aquisio now has instant chat support in the platform which saves a lot of time as you can get quick answers to any problems you may be having.

    Cons
    Newfold Digital (Endurance + Web.com)
    • Facebook management: You cannot manage Facebook directly through Acquisio. You can only see the data in the platform.
    • Campaign automation: The rules and algorithms takes a lot of time to be applied if you managed them manually.
    • LinkedIn: No LinkedIn integration available

    • It is a bit limited in features, for example can't do everything that you can do in Facebook's Business Manager
    • There are certain levels, depending on budget, so you'll have to pay more to use it the higher your budget is
    • Could use an update for Lead Ad creation, found it very tough and couldn't get things to synch correctly.

    I think the platform, with the latest release updates has a lot of great potential. The main decision, currently, is price and how that gets passed on to our clients. There has to be a conscious decision made on platform cost vs client spend and overall budget vs revenue.

    Within the interface there is an instant chat support feature that you can use to get help right away without having to pick up the phone or look for an email address. We have have an account manager who responds to emails quickly and is always helpful. Anytime issues require further tech support we are kept up to date on the progress of the issue and they are usually resolved the same day.

    We have started using Domo since we began using Acquisio and are extremely happy with Domo. We will continue to use Acquisio though because of the ability to directly manage paid search ads and the ability to create simple reports quickly. Also considering the cost of Domo, unless you specifically need reports with more sources of data, Acquisio is all you really need.

    I find it a lot more detailed in creation and ad reporting, but not very user friendly or helpful if you encounter an error or something happens that needs to be fixed. AdEspresso [by Hootsuite] is better if you want an easier experience and less to look at while you're creating your ads.
