Chose Magnite
Rubicon had superior client services and monetization techniques.
RollWorks
Chose RollWorks
I feel RollWorks as a platform was the easiest to use and navigate versus the others on this list given our maturing and requirements. Also, the RollWorks platform was the most cost-effective. Also, the team at RollWorks was the easiest to reach to set up a quick demo and in …
Chose RollWorks
RollWorks is far superior when it comes to its ABM advertising platform. The user-friendliness of it and the hyper-advanced reporting for playbooks is fantastic. I think they have room to improve when it comes to lead scoring and intent data. Other platforms like Demandbase …
Chose RollWorks
RollWorks is the most efficient platform for cost-conscious clients and is typically what we recommend for a company that is starting its ABM strategy. For more robust clients, that have the budget, we tend to recommend 6sense because of the intended functionality and the …
Chose RollWorks
We did not explore any alternatives, this was a recommendation from our marketing agency.
Chose RollWorks
Having used both I would say that RollWorks is a good entry-level ABM tool, but it just hasn't caught up to Terminus yet. Expect some delays and hiccups - which I suppose is to be expected with a newer solution. Also, expect limitations on reporting and integration with SFDC vs …
Chose RollWorks
From a technology standpoint, RollWorks has fewer bells and whistles than 6sense and Demandbase but it works well for an entry point for ABM. RollWorks also has a better engagement team than my experience with the other platforms.
Chose RollWorks
We were not ready to fully commit to a full view of ABM tools with the number of pre-works we need to put in to implement.
Chose RollWorks
All of these platforms are very helpful for running an account-based approach. For pure account-based advertising, I've found Rollworks is the easiest to get started with. Terminus and Demandbase are terrific as well. I'd say they offer more functionality, a bit more …
Chose RollWorks
RollWorks stacks well in terms of price and service delivery.
Chose RollWorks
RollWorks is the only one to offer this level of specificity regarding B2B Audience targeting.
Chose RollWorks
I was not involved in the selection process however I know other companies were evaluated (ex: Terminus). I think RollWorks was strictly chosen due to pricing over other features but it's just a guess at this point. That's all my knowledge into this area of the business …
Chose RollWorks
RollWorks is better than the below because, AdRoll - this is highly tailored for B2C organizations and is not very useful for companies who are B2B and deal with a low volume of traffic 6th Sense: had very limited options and account-based landing pages were very expensive …
Chose RollWorks
The major difference I have seen between Rollworks and competitors is that Rollworks seems to be a much less complex platform. While other tools focus on things like personalization, sales activation, and automation, Rollworks focuses on target accounts and advertising which …
Chose RollWorks
With lots of great platforms out there, it will depend on what your organization's top goals are. For our company, we have had a big challenge with data. With RollWorks beating all other [competitors] when we tested match rates, it was a no-brainer for us to partner with …
Chose RollWorks
RollWorks is head and shoulders above Terminus as far as to reach, engagement, usability, and customer experience - we ended our contract early with Terminus because the results were so poor. So RollWorks has been a breath of fresh air. We compared with 6Sense and Demandbase …
Chose RollWorks
RollWorks is the Kia of cars for account based advertising platforms. It's cost effective but doesn't have all the bells and whistles you can get with a more robust solution like Triblio or 6sense.
Chose RollWorks
I used AdRoll in a prior company - AdRoll is a sister company to NextRoll. I didn't look outside the AdRoll family when choosing a retargeting solution due to the positive quality and experience with AdRoll. We simply chose NextRoll because it was the product best suited for …
Chose RollWorks
We've used Google Ads in the past for remarketing and still do, but the ability to target key accounts in RollWorks is unmatched.

Rubicon Project is super appropriate for Publisher monetization. They excel as a supply side partner. Rubicon Project is less appropriate for Advertising buying tools. Their demand side tools have a way to go for development.

RollWorks is fantastic for businesses whose websites are the engine that drive their business. Got lots of great content you can redirect your leads to? Then a RollWorks campaign will do that perfectly. If your site isn't the engine that drives your business, or if you don't have a target lead the list with email addresses/domains, then RollWorks may not be the best product for you.

  • The price is a little high for the product provided.
  • Some features require a certain number of won opportunities or open opportunities to leverage, which could be difficult for a small/new business.
  • This product has fewer features than some competitors like it does not include attribution modeling for other pieces of the funnel or predictive models I have seen in other products.

Due to the fast impact of RollWorks in a short period of time across both marketing and sales. What is unusual about the RollWorks in our annual budgeting process is that there is no need to provide a business case for RollWorks' renewal. We see the value on a daily basis. RollWorks has provided clear insight up to the C level so there is no hard sell at the executive level. All stakeholders across the organization consider RollWorks to be a long-term, integral part of our marketing stack. We always are evaluating substitutes for current tech stack providers but feel that RollWorks is unmatched in its space

Usability
No answers on this topic
RollWorks has the most intuitive interface of any tool in our multi-platform marketing stack. Any user who has worked with a CRM tool will find it much easier than say a HubSpot or Salesforce to set up and launch quickly. The adoption curve for maturing capabilities and usage is very short.

Reliability and Availability
No answers on this topic
We have no issues with uptime or downtime with RollWorks. The application runs consistently. I don't recall a bug or outage issue in the year that we have been users of RollWorks. The true test is complaints from our user base - there have been none at all which is unusual for our marketing stack applications.

Performance

The RollWorks interface performs well. The load time has no noticeable friction. Reports are delivered quickly and easily. We integrate RollWorks with our Hubspot and Google Analytics platforms. There were a few tweaks to get those integrations working in sync but the RollWorks account team was there to help with anything our internal technical team couldn't solve.

Our CSM has been incredible, she is proactive when it comes to making account recommendations and makes an effort to stay up to date with the company and our campaigns and initiatives. Her reporting and analysis have been transparent and helpful and she is very engaged in the account insights. Love working with her!

Online Training
No answers on this topic
We implemented RollWorks during the pandemic and across geographies. Therefore in-person training was not an option. We felt that we got the full impact of an in-person training experience from the RollWorks team, and that in-person training would actually have been less effective for us due to the expense and logistics. It is rare that we consider online training to be as effective as in-person so this is a credit to the RollWorks account team.

RollWorks implementation couldn't have gone more smoothly. A key success factor is inclusion and early involvement of all those who will be working with RollWorks in any way to go through the set up and launch process. We thought through and brought the right players to the table to take full advantage of the RollWorks training direct from the team - rather than having to train others one off later

RollWorks had various options that allowed us to choose the right one for our current situation. We felt that RollWorks gave us the flexibility to start at a certain level within our core marketing and sales teams and then easily add users as our functions are expanding. RollWorks offers upgraded levels of plans and add on features that we can foresee using in the future.

Return on Investment
  • Rubicon Project has made it easier to optimize so that we could get the fullest ROI on our inventory through their alerts on which deal needs troubleshooting.
  • They also send a daily report which notifies you which advertisers have low render rate which is very helpful when figuring which creatives need to troubleshooting.

  • Tough to say the exact impact, although RollWorks tries to help you show that. They include an ROI measure tied to your pipeline. But it's not really possible to say that because 1 person at an account MAY have seen our ad that it influenced a buy. It's a little hocus pocus here.
  • Our target audience is not very active in LinkedIn so we need to find ways to get in front of them outside of this business channel. Our thought/hope is that RollWorks is helping us do that.
