Adform FLOW
Chose Adform FLOW
Adform was in some usecases similar to Xaxis, however, client preferred to use Adform.
Chose Adform FLOW
First of all it was integrating well with our existing database and secondly costing. We were looking for specific kind of product for our marketing and sales team. Salesforce and Adobe we had also evaluated but they were not offering the customization we needed for our …
Chose Adform FLOW
They do not have quite the same case use so a comparison can not be made in a perfect manner. Having said this, Adform FLOW really surprises in its capability to be up to par with one of the best in class for Ad Management as well as having a bit more integrations in its …

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 …
Criteo Commerce Growth
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
Marketing Solutions by Criteo is the best at re-targeting, and you can expect more results than Google Ads. The ads would be placed on more decent websites than on Taboola for sure.
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
Marketing Solutions by Criteo sometimes deliveries a higher revenue volume than other partners, but we usually run more than one retargeting partner at the same time, as we can have different inventories in which ads are displayed.
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
I feel Criteo had a much better tech stack and features all in one to do a wide range of things in terms of marketing ad campaigns. Also because it is a dedicated tool with a one-track focus, we found it to be a better fit for our needs at this time.
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
Inmobi and Smaato have more inventory but do not have the technology applied to that inventory. Whereas Marketing Solutions by Criteo puts the focus mainly on the audience and the users, Smaato and Inmobi are more focused on the publishers and the placement. For e-commerce …
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
Terminal One by Mediamath is more like a full-stack marketing solution that works very well for user acquisition and retargeting campaigns. On the other hand, Marketing Solutions by Criteo works more like a specialist for conversion and down the funnel campaigns, and their main …
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
Marketing Solutions by Criteo is definitely great alternative to its competitors and more efficient
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
I think Marketing Solutions by Criteo is probably one of the smaller fish in the pond, so it is kind of hard to compare. However, I do believe they have a niche product that not many others offer, therefore they are unique. There are definitely going to be things that they …
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
I don't actually have experience with another retargeting program like Criteo, though we had considered using one. We liked Criteo for the ad networks they are able to reach.
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
We were having an ROI of 8 with AdRoll with the website we tried it on. AdRoll could bring us up to 12/14 with other websites. We thought Criteo was going to perform better on that particular website. We have 4 more websites on which we could have applied Criteo! Not happening.

RTB House Personalized Retargeting and Google Ads (formerly AdWords)
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
AdRoll doesn't even come close to stacking up with Criteo Dynamic Retargeting. The customer support is worse, the targeting options are not as clear, and the performance is drastically worse than Criteo. We will not be going back any time soon.
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
Criteo is dynamic in nature and easy to set up and run the campaign. They have a dedicated account manager who can help as and when required. Though we have used Google Display Network earlier, ROI is great in Criteo.
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
We've run dynamic retargeting on Google and Facebook, but Criteo offers the strongest and most brand-safe reach across the web, along with better technical support and a much stronger direct return on ad spend.
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
We selected Criteo because of the good reputation, its flexibility, and the detailed reporting it delivers.
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
I do not know about other products like Criteo Dynamic Retargeting, therefore I cannot say anything about any differences.
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
We work with several products to carry out good retargeting. Criteo Dynamic Retargeting is more suitable to generate a direct link to our products.
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
Criteo is more focused on retargeting which is a great complement in our eshop strategy.
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
We've tried Adroll before Criteo. Criteo is much more user-friendly, although offers less control.
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
Google ads: it's quite complicated to manage correctly. Criteo is very easy to use.
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
Criteo can be seen as the European market leader in retargeting but other competitors like Google or Sociomantic offer similar tools and placements. It makes sense to try out different campaigns and see what works best for you. Criteo performed very well on several campaigns we …
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
We use Google Ads for classic ads but for the display ads, we selected Criteo Dynamic Retargeting. First of all because it's french ! ;) And because we think Criteo is the best tool for retargeting as it invented this technology ! We like the way we are accompanied by the …
Chose Criteo Commerce Growth
When I entered the company, they were are also using Criteo but it wasn't optimized at all. I know from the past working with Criteo in other companies that they deliver good ROI results so that why we decided to optimize the campaigns with Criteo and spend more of our budget …

Likelihood to Recommend
It is well suited for organisations which have big customer base and huge databases. It integrates well with the existing database and the reporting is amazing. The whole team reports can be generated using admin dashboard. Plus the campaign reports are also generated accurately giving all related details. It might not be suitable for small scale companies as that won't be cost efficient.

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.

  • The first strenght of Criteo Retargeting is the user-friendly platform, where you can easily manage your budget and analyse the performance.
  • Secondly, the CPC based model is great advantage of Criteo compare to some competitors.
  • Finally, the post-click attribution. It is more trustworthy and tenable than post-view.

  • Occasional bugs.

  • Level of control over ads - Most features of Criteo can't be managed directly in the dashboard. That can be a problem when you want ads adjusted quickly, for example, if you make a change to your logo. Customer Service has to be contacted in that case.
  • Cost - Of the several retargeting platforms we tried, Criteo was the most costly. This is in terms of cost per click and cost per conversion. In the end, we just couldn't justify paying substantially more for a similar ad network to Google just for the level of customer service.
  • Reporting - There is no reporting provided automatically, and user data is gated; it was difficult for us to ascertain anything about the audience we were serving ads to, and even basic geographic data wasn't available to us.

Criteo's platform is very easy to use from a marketing standpoint if you understand key terms. The frontend is very user-friendly and I personally had no issues. I enjoy being able to see key results and metrics being tracked from the dashboard. It is also easy to filter things as desired to break down data.

I think Marketing Solutions by Criteo offers a very robust solution for an ad tech platform and their support team is very knowledgeable about their product. I would like to see, though, more webinars and training about the technology behind the product to give us more tools to talk to our customers with more information and better visuals.

  • Criteo Dynamic Retargeting gives us very good results and positive ROI on our active campaigns with them. Overall we are pretty happy with them and looking to do more campaigns with them.
  • We are also looking to test new things with them in order to get better ROI such us new video creatives, new mobile app campaigns for our app games & also how the app retargeting products work!
  • We should point out that as a company we are analyzing results as a 'last click' attribution model and if you only look to the data from the dashboard it's different. But also both have good ROI for the campaigns.
  • Also your account manager is always looking for recommendations of new CPC options or going for the ARO (automation of the bid) to optimize it.
