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.

I would say Terminus is easier to use and more cost effective. It is a better solution for beginners to get up and running with ABM marketing with enough runway to advance. Their customer service team is average, but there are learning tools to teach yourself. Lots of …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
I was not involved in the evaluation process, however, I have heard that [the] Terminus ABM Platform is much more robust and the information [source] is much better.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
It's a great all-around platform. With each of these ABM vendors, you have to pay for all the bells and whistles they offer. Terminus ABM Platform "base" packages include everything you need to get started and you can add on bits and pieces like chat, email or personalization …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Where Terminus ABM Platform was better than other options we evaluated: Much better quality and reach of [the] display network. More ability to tweak display network preferences and do things like contextual content targeting. Good control over ad budgets and pacing with …

Intent data & ad experiences were more robust & allowed for more customizations. Also - the interface was much more difficult to navigate to gain reporting insights that are valuable.

Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Terminus is competitive from not just a pricing perspective, but [its] ability to push more campaigns, through multiple channels, all through the Terminus platform.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
I ran through a demo with the Triblio rep about a month ago. The platform seems to be very comparative to Terminus when it comes to the primary functionality. You can do display advertising to individuals based on company and other criteria. In talking with the Triblio rep, …

Sendoso and Terminus are alike in that they both work to add "personalization" into Marketing. However, they are not competitors per-say. Sendoso personalizes the physical interactions (direct mail) while Terminus works on the digital landscape. I would say Terminus more …

None at this time. We will be researching others when renewal time comes around.

We selected Terminus really before evaluating other vendors because they're local.

Terminus's professional services and support, along with its command-center approach, deliver a huge value to a ultra-lean fast moving business like Phononic. As a semiconductor startup that is rapidly growing, we need partners that can not only keep up with us, but also push …

Bizible is the only tool that I've done quite a bit of research on and it seems to be more advanced and further along than Terminus. They have an integration with SFDC as well as the ability to connect to a data warehouse.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
We chose Terminus because of the campaign attribution models. Many companies do target account ad targeting, but none did that plus the revenue attribution from marketing.
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Engagio: their analytics platform is slightly more refined, but Terminus is rapidly catching up. It is worth just using Terminus for the cost and would be another tool to complicate the Martech stack. Triblio: for a basic program, they have too many bells and whistles that are …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
When we first went with Terminus, they had better functionality at the time and offered us a better deal.

Sigstr is a solution for commercial teams. It allows the Customer Experience or Marketing team to manage the environment without getting IT involved. Other solutions we saw were basic IT managed solutions with no integrations or analytics.

Drift has banners available in their email tool, furthermore, we are able to mimic a Sigstr banner in Hubspot when we build emails by placing the banner image with a link in the bottom of an email, it's just a more manual process.

I can't recommend any other solution over …
Chose Terminus ABM Platform
Terminus is a lot easier to use than other tools we have used or evaluated for our ABM campaigns. Updating what we want to see and working with their team has been a great experience. They listen and seem to understand our specific industry better. They aren't looking to …

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.

I really love working with the team. If you are looking to get more targeted in your advertising approach, leverage intent data & have your sales team utilize this data for a more personalized experience - that is the best-case scenario. You do need to invest quite a bit into your advertising to be able to gather data & see [the] influence, so if your AOV would be impacted drastically by this cost, I would not recommend using the advertising experiences and chat experiences until you can invest more.

  • Event Announcements. We use Sigstr to promote hosted and co-hosted events. Email recipients can click on the Sigstr to register for the event itself. By promoting events through Sigstr we have been able to increase event registration and attendance.
  • Content Sharing. New blog post, webinar, presentation, infographic... you name it, you can use Sigstr to promote it. Furthermore, you can personalize the content to target different audiences based of the sender group. Example: customer content Sigstr belongs to support, while marketing new business content belongs to sales.
  • Announcements. Product enhancements, Company news etc. You can use Sigstr to promote general announcements relevant to the audience.

Cons
  • 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.

  • They recently purchased some new solutions that are being integrated into the platform so once that is completed it will be a much more robust solution.
  • I think updating what is considered high value vs brand awareness on the spike report could be a little more seamless.
  • For Salesforce integration, Terminus information unfortunately doesn't pull in historically, it just shows what has happened since the integration started. I think it's unfortunate because that historical data tells us a lot.

Terminus is a turn-key partner in the B2B Account-Based Marketing space. Their model is flexible and efficient which in turn provides effective results. Their sales staff is great and never tries to up-sell, but rather coach and educate our teams to be better at our jobs. It has been great to collaborate

  • It's EXTREMELY hard to assess total ROI with display advertising unless you're getting clicks on your ads. Even then you probably want additional tracking metrics such as Google Analytics, form fills, etc.
  • Our sales guys like the engagement spike reports, which can be useful for prompting them to reach out to their contacts.
