Acquisio vs. iSpionage

Acquisio is a really good platform to manage search and display campaigns, but it is probably not the best if you want to manage social advertising. If you are really savvy with reporting I would strongly recommend the use of Acquisio. You can make custom reports and send them automatically to your customers. That gives you more time to focus on optimization instead of reporting.

A good tool to analyze your own website, the websites of your competitors, and potential partners. It is more than just a tool for SEO and SEM experts. Any marketer can use it. For example, as an HR manager, iSpionage helps me to find good websites to post info about our vacancies. No matter how nice the website is - traffic is a king.

• Support isn't horrible, but it could be better.
• Report template creation could be a little easier. Right now, when you create a component, it goes to the bottom and you have to drag it up to where you want it to be. This feels inefficient.

• The Compare Competitor button sounds pretty sweet, but I've never been able to get it to work—it just says it's temporarily unavailable (I've tried it like 30 times over months). Maybe just a browser bug? Dunno
• I wish there were more exportable data —the overall little chart would be nice, but I guess screenshotting works okay—more chart types would be nice too, or a filter option of data points to throw into that chart.
• I wish I could export the "Top Ads" widget—you have to just copy paste it I guess...seems like a missed opportunity for quick use

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.

It's solid but definitely a bit gliche and I feel could be easier to navigate

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.

They handled it well.

Although Kenshoo might be a good fit for some agencies, Acquisio is an infinitely better fit for ours. Acquisio has allowed us to automate and scale in a way that simply would not have been possible with Kenshoo. Also, in my opinion, Acquisio offers a far superior bid optimization and budget management system.

SEMRush rules for quick organic insights, but its paid search insights aren't very substantial, it seems to me. iSpionage is the only tool I've seen or heard of that actually pulls in competitor ads and gives an estimated spend. That's pretty amazing—and clients will never stop asking about what kinds of ads and how much competitors are spending

Incentivized

• Acquisio has helped us to improve relationships with our PPC clients.
• The customizable reports have helped our consultants gain better insight into how to help their clients as well.
• The standards we were able to reach using this platform have enabled us to be the top provider in our market.

• iSpionage has yielded some actionable intel for our organic strategy
