Foundry ABM
Chose Foundry ABM
Triblio has a different use-case and has been delivering the right solution to us.
Chose Foundry ABM
I tried Terminus at a previous company. They were very expensive and had no business impact for us.
Chose Foundry ABM
We selected Triblio over Demandbase because of the pricing. Demandbase cost a lot more but the feature set from our point of view looked pretty similar.
Chose Foundry ABM
The transparency in the build-out of engagement and intent is better than most competitors. The ability to alter scoring methodology is a primary reason as to why Triblio stood out as compared to those where we had to work with their scoring models out of the box and take as is.
Chose Foundry ABM
As someone on the sales side, I don't know much about these tools' differences. However, I have had a very good experience with Triblio. It seems like it is more robust, and we can gain more information about our website visitors. I believe we picked them because of this reason.
Chose Foundry ABM
Pricing was better, and advertising capabilities were seen as better at the time of evaluation.
Chose Foundry ABM
Far better support, easier UI/UX, and much more strategy involved in our weekly discussions whereas Terminus largely integrated us and then left us to fend for ourselves.
Chose Foundry ABM
Triblio is a much more robust platform in my opinion and also features a more robust ability to enable the sales team and get the data into their hands.
Chose Foundry ABM
Triblio has the best HubSpot integration and their overall features and platform were best suited to us.
Chose Foundry ABM
Honestly, Triblio has the same capabilities as all of the other platforms that I have explored. With their addition of Orchestration that is rolling out, they actually will be pulling ahead of the competition allowing for multi-step automated campaigns. With the ease of use, …
Chose Foundry ABM
Terminus appears to be the cheapest on the surface but with the least amount of capabilities, clunky (lots of manual stuff they have to do on the back end to launch your campaign), very low CTR due to the DSP they use (TradeDesk) which also carries a media upcharge. Terminus …
Chose Foundry ABM
Triblio stacked up very well against their competitors. The pricing is in the ballpark as other solutions, but their ability to cross platforms and expand beyond just one area of specialty is why we chose them. Other solutions may excel in one area, but Triblio performs well …
Chose Foundry ABM
We chose Triblio because they allowed for the greatest customization and optimization of ads and because it was clear that they would deliver the best quality of control, guidance, and support for our ABM program.
Chose Foundry ABM
We choose Triblio for [its] overall combination of tools and pricing. Prelytix has very good intent features, it is very easy to add and monitor keywords, and website activity. However, they have a lack of orchestration capabilities and integrations. The reporting is …
Chose Foundry ABM
Triblio was the better all-around platform and option for us. This was based on support, features, and price.
Chose Foundry ABM
Moving to Triblio has been the best decision I ever made for the betterment of my company. I won’t deny the fact that Triblio also has some flaws but trust me they are so minor that can be easily fixed. I have had the experience of using other competitors or alternatives of …
Chose Foundry ABM
We selected Triblio because of the cost effectiveness and functionalities of the platform.
Chose Foundry ABM
Better performance, greater integration with other systems. Better technical support and less complex programming for our digital equipment.
Chose Foundry ABM
Demandbase for just the base product was way more than I ended up paying for Triblio. If I were to level up Demandbase with all of the various add ons to bring it up to the functionality that Triblio provides it would cost a fortune.

We actually used Terminus and moved away from …
Chose Foundry ABM
We chose Triblio over other tools like Terminus, Demandbase, and Kwanzoo because of Triblio's focus on prospect engagement and delivering data to sales and the ability to orchestrate multi-channel campaigns. We felt that others tools were still more focused on the advertising …
Chose Foundry ABM
Triblio is better than google (for advertising) and unbounce/HubSpot (for landing pages) because of how easily it automated the targeting and personalization process. Page automation happens automatically when contacts are enrolled in specific campaigns. Ad targeting also …
Chose Foundry ABM
Terminus: Sales process was way easier, was not a fan of the AE we worked with at Terminus. Also, their platform itself didn't see as user friendly and intuitive. Since I was going to be the one primarily utilizing the platform, I needed something I knew I could easily learn.

Skai
Chose Skai
I think Skai beats the competitors with its advanced bidding management system, this is a unique feature of them that if you implement properly, your accounts will surely benefit from this, especially if you have tons of data that the algo can learn from and optimize …
Chose Skai
I personally like Kenshoo better than Marin for a few reasons. When it comes to Ecomm Search, Kenshoo is far better in terms of available features, algorithmic bidding which is more focused on ROAS, and reporting especially for eCommerce. Marin is a good platform, especially …
Chose Skai
Google marketing suite - Good for Google but nothing else
Marin - Was very problematic and lacked easy of use & features
Chose Skai
We selected Kenshoo in 2017 due to its market presence and its notoriety. We learned about Kenshoo's integrations with internal data warehouses, and the bid management aspects were touted as first class. In practice, our unique marketing needs did not align with the limitations …
Chose Skai
Kenshoo's integration with sales and social platforms as well as search made it the only choice when it came to managing campaigns. Other interfaces may be simpler and quicker but Kenshoo's range of external integrations makes it more flexible for certain campaigns and the …
Chose Skai
I definitely prefer Marin for paid search only accounts. I select Kenshoo when my client also purchases Google shopping media, since their proprietary tools there are best in class.
Chose Skai
Some features of Kenshoo outshine other solutions we've evaluated. Kenshoo Infinity Suite is a great product for multi-channel management but overall is less favorable especially from a pricing perspective. We've transitioned several client accounts from Kenshoo to DoubleClick …
Chose Skai
An advantage that Nanigans has over Kenshoo is that their version of 'portfolios' didn't have any budget or flight length requirements and was extremely easy to use. They also offered 'affinity' segments. These are studies they would run on certain audiences that would result …
Chose Skai
Kenshoo is the best in class. With "time" being the most precious resource we have, Kenshoo allows us to get more done in the same amount of time as comparable products.
Chose Skai
I have not explored other platforms.
Chose Skai
While DoubleClick does not fully budget pace accounts I think it overall provides more accurate changes than Kenshoo. When our company selected Kenshoo we were told it would be able to manage hundreds of small accounts with small budgets. It is more designed for accounts that …
Chose Skai
Kenshoo Search offers keyword bid policies based off of sophisticated algorithms rather than simple bid rules. Also, the Kenshoo Desktop Editor allows for extremely easy bulk optimizations. Marin Software doesn't have bid algorithms or an easy-to-use desktop tool. These are …
Chose Skai
Very different tool that Hootsuite - which is a good tool for monitoring, but not for ad management. Kenshoo social was easily implemented since we use Kenshoo Search for paid program. When comparing tools, this one seemed to be the most robust and solved many issues we had - …
Chose Skai
Kenshoo is a more effective and user friendly platform than most competitors. Their tool is more expensive and like I said before, tailored to larger marketing budgets. They set them self apart with the ease of use, the Kenshoo editor, and cross channel functionality. However, …

Triblio is a relatively new platform for us, and it's our first ABM orchestration platform, so feedback is with those caveats. So far, the platform is well suited to targeting & serving ad messaging far more efficiently than we could ever do on our own. Triblio does NOT provide contact information like some "ABM/X" platforms do. Be aware of that. We understand and are OK with it - but some people confuse what an ABM platform should provide, and if you are expecting to have access to specific contact to enrich your targeting - that's not part of what Triblio does.

Kenshoo Search may not be appropriate if you don't spend much on search engine marketing. It also may not be appropriate if you don't care about tracking conversions and are only concerned with increasing awareness. Or, if you care about tracking conversions but don't expect to capture many, Kenshoo Search may not be necessary.

Pros
  • Their Customer Success team has been super helpful! If I have any questions, they are answered quickly!
  • Being able to integrate data into Salesforce, this is huge for any organization using Salesforce. It's the only way our sales team will ever see it.
  • Creating audiences to target with our campaigns, easy to set up and customize.

  • Customized reporting. There are many features that users can't report out on in power editor. Kenshoo makes it incredibly easy to get everything you need for a raw data dump.
  • Automation. Whether it's automated rules, portfolios or refreshing CRM uploads, Kenshoo helps cut some of the manual tasks out of the process making me more efficient.
  • Staying up to date with Facebook product updates. I can appreciate that Kenshoo does an exceptional job and ensuring new capabilities in Facebook are ready for use in the Kenshoo platform as well.

Cons
  • The ability to separate budgets by dept. currently, you have one pot of money but can set limits based on campaigns. This is fine for a single user but gets messy with multiple users.
  • Campaigns with multiple steps, I do hear this is in the works.
  • It would be nice if each area did not open a new tab, navigating pages within the same page would be nice.
Read full review
  • Syncing - I have had many issues where syncs would time out, or not show that changes were posted to Facebook.
  • Library - if there was a library for targeting settings that could be saved and easily accessed and input into new campaigns, that would be very helpful.
  • Updates - seemingly basic tools that a social management platform should have often taken a long time to be released.

We continue to have a good experience with Triblio, and they continue to deliver value for our money. If they would do a better job with analytics, then it'd be easier for me to tie campaign activities to the bottom line.

It's great to have a product like Kenshoo Social. It has a lot of data and is a great tool to use. Honestly, I think we would have looked somewhere else if we didn't have some much data and time invested into the platform. We had used it across search and social, so we invested a lot of time to get it running smoothly. It is very expensive and we think we could have gone elsewhere to get the same results over time. Once they have your data and the system is running smoothly, it's very difficult to go elsewhere

Usability
We have a cheaper version of Triblio, so we don't have all the bells and whistles. But, this works great for us. It's easy to use and the platform only includes things that we use instead of a handful of features that just slow it down. It looks like a simple version of Google Ads

Set-up like other marketing platforms. If you know Google Ads, you know Kenshoo

Reliability and Availability
The platform has always been available, and the occasional system updates aside, there have been no downtime issues with Triblio. The platform has always been available when I needed it, and campaigns were launched timely

Performance
Triblio pages, campaign performances, and platforms have not slowed us down at all. If anything, Triblio has enhanced how we engage with our target accounts. There has been no speed performance issues, or lag due to system limitations. Triblio tracking on our site has not slowed our page performances significantly, so there has been on effect on speed

Support Rating
If there's one thing Triblio excels at it's their support. We have an account manager that meets with us regularly to discuss any questions or even potential strategies. If we have questions that dive deeper into the software we've had an engineer get on the line with us. They are quick to notify us if bugs occur, and when they're fixed. They are quick to respond to emails as well. We are very supported by their team.

Online Training
We had our Account management team online to provide training to the marketing team, ADR team, and the AE team, which was helpful as each team had their own sets of questions and needs from the platform. Having the Triblio experts on the call and knowing that they are available for questions later on was reassuring to everyone in the trainings.

Implementation Rating
Definitely have a dedicated technical team work on the implementation full time with the Triblio team. There are requirements on both ends of the pipe that needs to be done. It is much easier to have both teams work together full time as opposed to part time duty; it would take much longer than doing it all in one shot.

While DoubleClick does not fully budget pace accounts I think it overall provides more accurate changes than Kenshoo. When our company selected Kenshoo we were told it would be able to manage hundreds of small accounts with small budgets. It is more designed for accounts that would be spending minimally thousands of dollars a month. We had extreme issues with Kenshoo budget pacing and increasing our bids. Overall it did not meet our needs, and we will be switching vendors at end of contract

Scalability
The Triblio platform works fairly reliably since we have implemented it into our instance. There are the occasionally wishes that they have more functionalities, but those are feature requests which can be accommodated in future product enhancements. In terms of flexibility and scalability, we chose Triblio since we wanted to scale our ABM efforts, so that was a big part of our consideration.

Return on Investment
  • The element of Sales Funnel in this tool is top-notch as it facilitates in keeping our sales team satisfied by augmenting prospects.
  • This product has proven to be an essential ingredient of success in my business, so if you want prosperity in your business, then this tool is worth trying.

  • ROI is harder to track due to reporting/column & time frame default tech in my humble opinion but generally better results when compared to other products
  • Since the interface is difficult to navigate and paid search is a reactive medium, can produce barriers to change.
