Ease of navigation with vendor / campaign specific i.e. AdWords / LinkedIn analysis can be frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The reporting tool was amazing as it saved hours of creating reports and emailing them to clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The integrations were a bit faulty. I would connect certain platforms (Google Analytics) and have no data from them despite triple-checking on my end to be sure I had done the process correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Automation of reports and setting up rules to guide system behaviour. Ability to create custom metrics, which has just been released, is a game-changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Still some learnings to be done. Not as fluid as the native solutions, however, developments recently makes for great justification . AdStage focuses on where the money is, namely Facebook and Google, which makes sense, we are however a pure LinkedIn business so the total value was lost to us. It also seemed like the adoption of platform elements to the tool took longer than necessary. Finally, currency conversion proved a big problem for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Extremely easy to pull account and campaign data into Google Sheets to manipulate at your pleasure. This makes it simple to create dashboards or even deep analysis reports of your data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be a little buggy and it takes a few days to learn the "language". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Porting in all our advertising through one platform has saved me days worth of work every month! Customer support has been amazing and easily one of the most reliable and responsive I've ever worked with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some tables can take a while to populate... granted they're pinging multiple external data sources to gather the metrics, so not sure how much faster this can really get. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We chose AdStage because of their robust Data API and great customer support staff. The automation of data sourcing allows us to focus on strategic insights, faster optimizations, and ultimately, better results for our clients. AdStage also offers the ability to do day parting for LinkedIn Campaigns which LInkedIn doesn't have in their platform. I also like that they are constantly staying on top of the market and offering different utilities such as Google Sheets and/or Google Data Studio offering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Would be great to have display vendor integrations such as awlogy or other paid media platforms such as quora and/or pinterest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Being able to create custom metrics for your ad accounts and then base rules or alerts or widgets off those custom metrics is pretty useful. Want to know the combined cost for a Purchase on App or Website? Or maybe what the approximate gross profits for your campaigns are if you have 30% COGS? Boom.

The platform is fairly new so new features are being added and bugs pop up. Maybe your rules will run, and maybe they won't. Maybe they'll switch the authorization token to a different user. Maybe your reports won't run as scheduled.
And if something does go wrong, better hope it's not on a Monday - because the team is slammed with tickets from the weekend and best case you'll hear back at the end of the day. Worst case? Talk tomorrow - hope it wasn't important! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I work primarily in paid social advertising and it has been such an incredible tool for us. It saves so much time in custom exports and excels work. It also saves tons of times in sending reports to clients. Having something built out with 90% of what we need is such a huge value in allowing us to get back to optimizations and overall strategy.
We've implemented it across the agency and have heard resounding feedback on its helpfulness. We can end up spending a lot of time doing excel exports and pivots on data just to get insights on a specific campaign. Adstage helps us do this instantaneously and automatically whenever we need it.
Secondly, this has been a huge time save with clients. We are able to create templates, import clients into a template and customize that report for the client's needs. We can then have it sent on an ongoing basis sp they can view it as they need and we don't have to spend the time compiling it each time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has a learning curve, but once you spend some time with it, the time you invested in learning will pay off in the long run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love AdStage. The tool is great and all, but the team is so great. Margo seriously makes my job easier as a marketer and whenever I have issues she's right there as fast as she can to help out. AdStage has done a great job and making support easy and I look forward to their growth as a company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The reports have been buggy and draggy at times. For the price we're paying, I wish it was more reliant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simple product + amazing CSM support = solid customer experience! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes the feed goes down, which means we cannot get reporting in real-time. It is usually fixed within 1 hour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
