I believe it is best for small and medium businesses. And for teams that already have a knowledge of business analysts, because we have a not-so-friendly interface. But once you learn it, becomes interesting to do the work.

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
  • Targeting including integrating multiple intent vendors into my targeting efforts
  • ABM retargeting, I only targeted the universe of accounts in SFDC. No more wasting budget with Google audiences.
  • Reporting, this is the most advanced and detailed reporting in the industry, directly compared to Terminus, Demandbase and Adworks.
  • The ad reach and engagement, we targeted 512 accounts, reached 498 and received engagement from 392 accounts generating >110 influenced opportunities .
  • We also used this for opportunity surround and sped up pipeline velocity, by 14%.

  • 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.

  • Communication between systems

  • 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.

No longer at this company but will absolutely invest with Kwanzoo in my next roll.

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

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

Return on Investment
  • We managed to reduce costs in about 32% of the customer.
  • Increased engagement in ad reach by 18%
  • Our team was communicating better

  • 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.
