Considered Both Products
BannerFlow
Chose BannerFlow
Bannerflow has an intuitive UI and faster integrations with internal tools. It is easy to upload multiple files and just get started with creative editing and experimentation by experimenting with sizes, content, colors and multiple other factors- which is not as extensive …
Chose BannerFlow
BannerFlow is much better than handling everything in-house (i.e. creating advertisements yourself and manually adding them to each social media platform). It doesn't require the same bandwidth and time requirement as creating everything in-house, along with analyzing …

Chose Sizmek Ad Suite (discontinued)
When it comes to serving Ads, Doubleclick does a better job with QA and handling creative in my opinion. However the tagging system is more diverse and handy in Sizmek.
Chose Sizmek Ad Suite (discontinued)
For me the main point here is the support, all the adservers offer more or less the same functionality and capabilities. The real advantage you will gain using Sizmek will be their customer support team and their open approach with other vendors.
Chose Sizmek Ad Suite (discontinued)
We selected Sizmek because they are trusted and respected in the industry, and known for customer service.
Chose Sizmek Ad Suite (discontinued)
I briefly used Trueffect prior to Sizmek. I found Sizmek to be much more advanced technology that was intuitive and provided more than just the bare bone features Trueffect offered at the time.
Chose Sizmek Ad Suite (discontinued)
Sizmek was great for analytics, ease of us vs power, and support. I selected sizmek because of the price and team familiarity for the program
Chose Sizmek Ad Suite (discontinued)
Both have great offerings, however they both miss points when trying to enhance day to day productivity. DoubleClick provided great detail, however Sizmek is able to show the same information with less amount of steps. Still Sizmek's interface provides what's needed but …
Chose Sizmek Ad Suite (discontinued)
Sizmek is much more user friendly, provides better support, and offers more 'planning' tools beyond trafficking.

BannerFlow is perfect for smaller companies without the bandwidth or team of a full graphic design department. It simplifies the creation of banners significantly as there are widgets, templates, and other intuitive tools to create engaging dynamic advertisements. The analytics of advertisements helps too, it is easy to adjust your ads accordingly in minimal time.

If you need a prompt support for any kind of issue, those guys really rock. I opened tickets on Friday evening getting things fixed in less than an hour. That's a critical point for demanding clients. The main weaknesses in my opinion are the user interface that is not so user friendly and the integration with Google products. This is in place but, mainly due to Google's walled garden, the environment is not so efficient.

  • Sizmek's trading desk was a total miss when I tested it a few years ago.
  • I briefly used Abakus and did not find it intuitive, accurate or helpful. It has a long way to go before it can compete with the likes of VisualIQ.
