We use Basis for a very niche offering at our firm and getting reporting out of a DSP is very important. The csv export with detailed line items is incredibly easy to obtain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basis?

Lack of clarity on ad approval process from external networks like Google and AppNexus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Basis:

If you will be trafficking a lot of ad units on a regular basis Basis' batch-up load makes it much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Basis solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are expanding our users/audience engagement through Basis, this has allowed us to reach grocery shoppers at a higher frequency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Basis?

I like the ability to easily optimize campaigns based on what you can see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basis?

I don't like that I can't put start and end dates on creatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Basis:

The BasisDSP with Centro is an easy way to become a part of the audience extension experience. The product is easy to use even though there are a few campaigns that take extra long steps - such as custom factuals. The creative is generally easy to add but it would be nice to be able to place start and end dates on it for if it ends and needs to be replaced when I am out of office. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Basis solving and how is that benefiting you?

It gives us the unique ability to sell audience extension while keeping the optimization of campaigns in-house, close to the advertiser. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Basis?

I love the algorithmic optimization feature. Being that I optimize organically on a daily basis, this optimization feature is such an added bonus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basis?

Reporting can definitely be buttoned up. It would be great to consolidate all reporting metrics to one "pull." For example, I have to pull separate reports in order to obtain geo performance, device performance, data segment performance & ad size performance. I would love to pull of this data from just 1 report request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Basis:

It's a phenomenal resource for Audience Extension and a support team that rivals the absolute best in the industry, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Basis solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are now able to build Contextual campaigns & Hyper-Local Campaign. Before Basis DSP, we had to turn down RFPs that specifically requested Contextual and GeoFencing campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
