Considered Both Products
Adobe Audience Manager
Chose Adobe Audience Manager
Overall all DMPs have suffered from the death of 3rd party cookies and data. Regardless the close ties to adobe’s experience platform and the rest of the experience cloud stack have enabled adobe to stay competitive and keep features up; however in the end this product will …
Chose Adobe Audience Manager
I would say Adobe Audience Manager is right in between LiveRamp and Salesforce. It is easy to use but not as flexible. There are also a lot of limitations in terms of integrations and advancement into offline capabilities. It does a better job than salesforce in terms of …
Chose Adobe Audience Manager
Both tools are very similar. Adobe Audience Manager and Tealium AudienceStream work well with third-party vendors. However, Adobe Audience Manager is easy to integrate into the Adobe Experience cloud and can be commissioned quickly.
Chose Adobe Audience Manager
For now its only one year since we have started using Adobe Audience Manager so have not explored on the alternatives. As earlier mentioned pretty much satisfied other than the cost concern.
Chose Adobe Audience Manager
I personally like the Adobe Audience Manager interface and it's easier to use for beginners. It also has some features that Google does not, nor do its other competitors. It is worth the money and time spent, overall. I feel like it gives a bigger and more in-depth picture to …
Chose Adobe Audience Manager
An excellent suite of products form products. Limited data sets by competing products.
Chose Adobe Audience Manager
Adobe Audience Manager is more sophisticated than Google Ad Manager, and it is mainly for enterprise-level audience management. Also, it is integrating well with Adobe Analytics, which we use for digital analytics. Google Ad Manager is more for small and mid-size companies, so …
Chose Adobe Audience Manager
The benefits of AAM is that it has stronger marketing and advertising, interner and broadcasting media, and supermarkets. While Amazon Pinpoints has its benefits with its interface, computer software, and accounting, AAM has a slight edge against its competitor in terms of …
Chose Adobe Audience Manager
We selected Adobe audience manager because of integrated experience we wanted to have with whole Adobe marketing cloud.
Chose Adobe Audience Manager
From a main user standpoint, we selected AAM due to my experience with it and our ability to easily integrate it with our currently system. While we evaluated the other options, it was Adobe's customer service and reputation that ultimately served as an additional reason to …
MediaMath
Chose MediaMath
MediaMath is a cloud-based digital advertising platform designed to help marketing teams handle advertising data, audience segmentation, and programmatic marketing on a unified platform. It allows businesses to create, launch, and manage marketing campaigns and identify …
Chose MediaMath
I thought MediaMath stacked up well against Adform Flow. While they both have excellent customer service, I preferred interacting with the rep from MediaMath. They made us feel more looked after. I was not involved with the pricing, but I believe we went with MediaMath because …
Chose MediaMath
We also use Google Display & Video 360 (DV360) - Overall MediaMath is easier to work in because of tagging and campaign structure, but sometimes DV360 has audiences that fit our current needs more than MediaMath. MediaMath's support team has consistently been better than DV360 …
Chose MediaMath
Rocket Fuel, Trade Desk, AppNexus and DBM. We did choose MediaMath for the ease of use of the platform and the presence of an open API to connect all the tools we did need and develop the tools we will need to keep ourself ahead of the competition.
Chose MediaMath
The main DSP I've used beyond TerminalOne MOS is DoubleClick Bid Manager. DBM has stronger 3rd party data from a deterministic standpoint as one can target Google users based on age and gender. Additionally, DBM provides access to YouTube inventory, which is a major plus given …
Chose MediaMath
We are now using Conversant, which is a great all-in-one tool (and is actually a part of the Mediaplex/ValueClick family) and has helped us drive better ROI than we did with MediaMath. We pay more for Conversant compared to just MediaMath, but they do all of the back-end work …

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
If you feel as though your online presence isn't quite hitting where it should, Adobe Audience Manager (AAM) might provide the insights to help you identify the areas in which it is lacking (the gaps). As a result, you can adjust your approach and optimize your customer interactions. With that said, if you currently deploy software for the analysis of customer data, you should consider whether AAM will add value. I would suggest setting some strategic objectives so that you can ensure that AAM will meet your current and future needs.

The pricing model of MediaMath with respect to agencies should be a little different, since you have to consider that agencies have various sets of clients with different needs. Not all agency clients have equal budgets to spend. So the platform fee should not be flat rather there should be a formula with respect to spend level and use for each client at agency level.

Cons
  • Biggest challenge we faced is teaching the use of it to our employees how to use it. The UI Should be easy and to understand for all fields.
  • The AdWords integration is not easy to do.
  • UI is sometimes slow and doesn't load Analyticals for more than 24 hours.

  • Inventory: a low in-app inventory
  • You can't see the results of your campaigns in the same day, you need to wait until next day to see impressions and clicks and general results of your campaigns.

At this point, I know there are better options out there for OUR use case. This is not true of everyone, so I don't want to give them a zero because I don't like their tool or value proposition. They are a great tool, for what they do, and have a great group of people running things and providing support.

Usability
Overall usability is great, as are most of Adobe's software. Maybe a UI refresh could make it a bit easier to do advanced functions or reporting but, overall, it works very well. This is something you take for granted with Adobe solutions because when you try another vendor you realize how bad it can be.

Support Rating
AAM has good support, but the support is not as available, due to waiting time and queue. The instructions presented are available, but it navigation is not easy between pages. However, instructions are usually direct and straightforward, but any underlying thoughts or questions won’t be easily answered without support from their service.

Overall all DMPs have suffered from the death of 3rd party cookies and data. Regardless the close ties to adobe’s experience platform and the rest of the experience cloud stack have enabled adobe to stay competitive and keep features up; however in the end this product will eventually be an activation mechanism for the AEP Customer Profiles from the real-time CDP platform.

The main DSP I've used beyond TerminalOne MOS is DoubleClick Bid Manager. DBM has stronger 3rd party data from a deterministic standpoint as one can target Google users based on age and gender. Additionally, DBM provides access to YouTube inventory, which is a major plus given it is the primary place users consume video content.

Return on Investment
  • Overall a Positive Return for Business who go All in on the Adobe Stack
  • Solid work for brokering and anonymously sharing data between first and second parties
  • The death of TRUE 3rd party data has lessened the effectiveness of all DMPs

  • Although Display is not an end-of-funnel tactic/ conversion-driven, it's great for brand awareness.
  • MediaMath has allowed us to reach niche audiences with their targeting capabilities
