    Adstream
    I have used Adstream for my publishing/editing company and I loved how it was able to reach different types of clients in different areas of life. To me, that is crucial because I am able to reach a broader audience which in turn helps me package my product differently for different clients.

    Vungle works well for branding and performance as video is a high impact format that and that has good CTRs and CVRs. However, for advertisers without a lot of budget, Vungle may not be a good option as the CPMs on the exchange are very high. For branding there are alternatives that have a more developed product, where video can be targeted near content the user may like, like Teads.

    • Product development. They have not evolved their product significantly still offering the same videos they had 3 years ago.
    • Slow to respond to product questions.
    • Not enough scale on APAC GEOS.

    I personally am not involved in the decision to renew the product, but I had only positive experiences with the product and thus would recommend its use and renewal.

    I would say is a standard video SSP. The reporting dashboard is well designed and easy to use and throttling options are standard. They seem to be confident about their inventory and they don't really evolve their product and add new betas or create audiences or do anything out of the ordinary.

    Their support team is a bit slow. You have to re-send your email questions constantly because the first email never gets a reply. Their core business is still the ad network which does not involve a lot of human interaction so they are still working on how to evolve their account management team to be an exchange.

    Alternatives Considered
    Adstream
    I love Adstream because it does a great job at streamlining its ads to different components and different industry providers unlike Apple iAds and Google AdMob. It also is very helpful for a new business like myself to reach different audiences and hopefully generate some revenue from these types of diversified ads.

    Vungle stands out as the only video only exchange. It is their main selling point and they have carved out a nice niche that differentiates them from the rest of SSPs. Their main competition, in my opinion, is Teads, which has focused the product more towards branding in order to monetize better for its publishers by getting higher bids.

    • We have gotten good CPAs, but we have had to bid high CPMs.
    • They were reluctant to do a rebate deal, which is something standard once you hit a certain volume of spend, which worsened ROI.
    • No buy sides fees, which is a big plus for profitability.
