Pros
  • Ease of use - Set up was straightforward; Exporting Data to our ad server, DSP, Twitter, etc., is one click; building audiences using is fast and there is a huge amount of resources I can put towards audience building.
  • Customer Service is out of this world, Lotame worked with us to find a program that would train us up, help us out and make us feel confident in our ability to use the platform. And if we have a question or problem, we've found that support is quick to respond and amazingly helpful.
  • We have a seat with Lotame's DSP - Lotame is helping us train up on that platform as well.

Cons
  • Platform can be slow at times
  • Profile Reports - at an ad campaign level these can be very similar across multiple types of campaign

  • This software program is the maximum often down of any that I even have to get right of entry to. For being an enterprise standard, I assume the reliability can be significantly improved.
  • It has a restricted guide on mobile. I dislike the pricing version and the contracts which can be required for users. I might choose a monthly agreement alternative that could now no longer lock us in.
  • Data discrepancies are common, there is most effective month-to-month reporting available, and no keyword seek gear to use.

I still use exelate every day for my media plans that are either direct response or extremely geo-targeted.

Atomized is great for visualization and is better in that area. However, Nielsen Marketing Cloud is much more in-depth and has many more features available that allow for a larger variety of types of analysis and other capabilities. It is a much better overall product in this realm of expertise.
