Skae is better at multiple platforms because it isn't owned by Google and has more flexibility and resources to bring in other publishers and channels.

Google Marketing Platform had greater reach, was easily added to our other Google platforms and had a great support system. Our staff was more familiar with the platform as it has similarities to other Google products, hence it was easier to use. Whilst the other platforms had …

Adform has the worst support service I have ever encountered. I had to wait days for an answer, and would usually just be given a link to their support documentation which didn't provide the answer I needed. The interface is extremely confusing, and requires far too many …

We opted for DoubleClick because we use other Google products, so we wanted a platform that was relatively seamless to integrate with our current advertising.

I've used Sizmek as an alternative and the UI/UX was extremely dated and slow. Updating creative isn't intuitive and requires learning the system so that you can do basic things like update jpgs correctly.

JWPlayer is great to upload videos and pulling video-metrics. We can easily copy a link to connect JWPlayer videos into Google Marketing Platform but you cannot solely use JW to run ads—just our videos and separate video reporting.

DoubleClick is slightly better to manage, especially in the sense of its user interface, which isn't super easy to navigate, but compared to Marin, is a lot easier. It also has a much easier process in terms of uploading ads to engines such as AdWords and Bing. I also find it …

Having gone through a trial of Kenshoo in a previous role. The interface seemed less responsive, there was less coordination with releases by Google/Microsoft and there wasn't a financial benefit to swapping. We decided to stay with DoubleClick.

DoubleClick has been a great alternative to other DSPs because of the easy integration between the adserver and the DSP. It really cuts the work in half.

DoubleClick is definitely more efficient than Kenshoo, particularly when it comes to reporting. It's great to be able to pull YoY data quickly, whereas Kenshoo only allows three month increments on most levels and monthly increments at the keyword level.

I feel that both MediaMath and TradeDesk, while not as pretty or user intuitive as DoubleClick just out perform Bid Manager in terms of performance, driving low CPA's and overall better support.

I feel pretty neutral about Google Marketing Platform. For the longest time, my company wasn't using it because each of the features (Data Studio, Analytics, etc.) could be accessed separately. In fact, most of the time, I don't even go into Google Marketing Platform because it's easier to directly navigate to the individual platforms. There are very few features about GMP that can only be accessed from the GMP UI. The Integrations Center is probably the main feature I utilize from the GMP UI, which allows me to see a summary of the integrations I have in place across all my client properties and accounts.

Bringing together data from multiple channels and engines and allows you to visualize the data in an easy to use platform. This saves time from using multiple logins for the different platforms.
Auto bidding tools save time from manual bidding, as it allows you to set the specific terms around what levels you want to cap your CPCs at. You then let DoubleClick adjust your bids to gain the most conversions from the cheapest CPCs. This frees up time to do other in-depth analysis and strategy.
DoubleClick also has the ability to track conversions and clicks on any page using their floodlight tags. This is good for tracking certain actions on yours or a client's site and is especially good if they do not use any other tools, such as Google Analytics or Adobe, to track conversions and user actions on site. You can also use these in conjunction with the auto bidding tools.

The process for on-boarding new users can be difficult if they do not already have a Gmail or Gmail-linked account.
Difficult to troubleshoot technical issues (with the platform, with tags, etc.) because of the lack of customer support. Unclear if the agency has a dedicated team or individual to assist, and often have to deal with out-sourced support teams.

Due to its adapting behavior with industry ad formats and seamless integration with publishers and DSP's, I don't see myself moving away from DCM. As we see the display advertising is getting more programatic and automated due to the rise of DSP and concept of RTB, Double Click has evolved with new advanced best practices
The Doubleclick interface is easy and simple to get a hang of. The options are slightly limited compared to other DSPs. But, for a simple campaign, this is a great DSP to move forward with. They have a ton of data and can plug into a lot of different partners

They do not have strong support team. It is tough to get answer when I need it. They always refer you to an online guide and not an actual person. If so, the person is based out of an offshore team in India and does not know the specific client goals .

Marin takes a lot more time for everything, mainly for the campaigns setup. This also leads to many mistakes, which impact the performance. I've used Marin on a couple of previous clients and we've had many problems with it, mainly with correct conversion tracking and account optimizations. Besides, Marin is behind all the new features available on AdWords, which makes the tracking also not very flexible.

DS3 has improved ROI considerably due to its ability to make the work of a team of digital marketers to go further and improving internal efficiency.
There is a notable improvement in account performance for those integrated with DoubleClick as opposed to not, with better tracking, new bid strategy options, and a more responsive interface.
The additional fee on top of media spend is a considerable expense for a large advertiser, but the necessity of a product/solution such as this means that there is always likely to be some comparative cost.
