What do you like best about AdLib DSP?

Our rep, who I believe is the Founder, is swift to respond with know-how and insights. The DSP dashboard is easy to use, and we're able to target Pandora and Spotify placements which usually require a more significant minimum spend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdLib DSP?

The default date range resets when you move to different sections, which can interrupt your workflow. Not detrimental, but I would like the date range to carry over as not to need to update it as I move through the different reporting sections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mike Hauptman of AdLib DSP

Thanks for the review, Lindsay! Based on your feedback we just rolled out an update that will keep custom date ranges persistent as you navigate from report to report.

Please keep the requests coming :)

What do you like best about AdLib DSP?

With so many buying platforms out there. We've found that adlib works faster, more effectively, and is easiest to manage. Having campaigns changing weekly, having the ability to make ad hoc optimizations and pull real-time data for reporting is a high value add. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdLib DSP?

As is common with a lot of buying platforms, additional cost transparency is always a value add. Although its generally an issue with publishers and networks and not the DSP/adtech tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AdLib DSP?

The process was extremely proficient and made it easy to jump right in and create campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdLib DSP?

I think there is only one minor budget issue we had where it was confusing about monthly vs. annual and structuring it properly, however, the team noticed it right away and made sure we didn't accidentally spend $40,000 unintentionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AdLib DSP?

Support team led by Mike is always ready to provide answers and solutions. As well as the straightforward UI of this DSP - makes it user-friendly really. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdLib DSP?

Lack of adgroups. It's nice to organize the different audiences under one campaign only. Quite strenuous report pulling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AdLib DSP?

It was very easy to create and manage campaigns & audiences. Setting up the sites for conversions was a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdLib DSP?

The lack of exact URL where ads served was the biggest downfall. Great started DSP but advanced users may require more granular reporting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks for the review, Jason! We do offer exact URL level reporting in log files. If you're interested in getting this set up, just let us know :)

What do you like best about AdLib DSP?

We found AdLib extremely effective for our Ad Campaigns. It delivered quality results, and there was a wealth of feedback on how our campaign was performing. We actually drove much better engagement than using Facebook and Instagram. Also, someone was always on hand for support if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdLib DSP?

It could be a little more user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AdLib DSP?

The customer service is top of the line. Seems like all other digital advertising services take days at a time to respond to tickets, Mike and the AdLib team never took more than an hour or two and sometimes responded almost immediately. Live chat service is the best I've ever encountered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdLib DSP?

I'd like a little more control over the reporting, but that's it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AdLib DSP?

The best part about working with AdLib is definitely Mike and the team. They are extremely timely with deliverables and very responsive when our team has questions or requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdLib DSP?

We have not seen any downsides so far! We utilize AdLib when our clients would like to leverage their social assets for a standard display campaign. That is exactly what they have provided us, and our clients are very happy with their results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AdLib DSP?

With over 15 years of working across both the buy and sell sides I have worked with a lot of DSPs, SSPs & exchanges, and I haven't found a platform to match Adlib's robust capabilities and price point. They have a fantastic product that's super easy to get set up on, great reach, and an excellent team of industry professionals who are always ready to support you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdLib DSP?

That they don't have a team in London I can work within my timezone, and who I can meet up with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Mike Hauptman of AdLib DSP

Hey Greig! Most of our engineering team is in or just outside of London. Always interested in getting together and meeting face to face. Let us know what you're thinking :)
