Epom Ad Server Review: A great, scalable solution for ad networks

Pros

  • The largest "Pro" is the scalability and stability of the solution. Merging with a partner network raised concerns on both ends of the deal, but Epom ensured us that the platform will be able to handle everything conveniently. The support team took us through the process, and provided helpful guidance in the first month of operations. The solution was able to handle the significant traffic growth. Ad optimization worked equally good both before and after merge.
  • The ability to delegate work via Roles and Permissions is a convenient tool. This allows us to distribute work amongst several teams while maintaining confidentiality without sacrificing convenience.

Cons

  • The user interface has a lot of functionality, but is not always user-friendly.
  • Hardly any predefined analytics templates available. Even some of the obvious dashboards and filters must be created manually.

Return on Investment

  • Epom Ad Server met all the expectations of our ad network, our publishers, and our advertisers. The easy management and high scalability is a very nice bonus.
