What do you like best about Basis?

I couldn't begin to use the tool without our amazing customer success manager, Kallie. She is so helpful and knowledgeable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basis?

I don't have anything negative to say. The only reason that we would stop the service is because we need something a little more full service and less hands on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Basis:

Be prepared to learn a lot! And take some time to review all of the learning materials provided by the support teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are just getting our toes wet in digital display ads and retargeting ads. It is a current gap in our sales process. We have received a handful of enrollments through our retargeting ads and have learned so much about the digital ad space going through the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Basis?

Having control and flexibility of our campaigns has been the best part of switching to Basis DSP. No more email back and forth to get creatives switched out, targeting changes or reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basis?

Some reporting takes longer to run than expected, but being able to pull the data you need whenever you want it is better than waiting days for someone else to email it to you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Basis:

Take the time to work your Business Success Manager. Developing that relationship will help you learn how to use and setup campaigns in DSP faster and more efficently. Ours has provided insights and suggestions that helped our campaigns along the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being able to run media has created opportunity for our clients that they had to go elsewhere for or hadn't considered yet. We are able to look at targeting options to pitch creative media plans and excute them quickly, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Basis?

Our experience using Centro has taken us through many ups and downs, but overall the difference is in the support given to us by the excellent team at Centro. There is a level of service and caring about customers not seen with competitors. The platform has also improved and changed a lot over the past couple of years, and it seems that with each new iteration there are more and better tools for me to control my own fate as a media buyer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basis?

We have a unique business model and likely some of the challenges we face would not be shared by other agencies, but one of the most important qualities in a DSP for us is massive scale over relatively short periods of time. Centro has struggled to deliver that to us in the past, to the point where it was our "backup" dsp in case of emergency. However, I am pleased to say that there have been positive changes recently in this respect, and I am noticing much more available scale when running during the last few campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Centro is the vehicle we use to match live content with potential audience, and it's safe to say that our business relies completely on the technology of a dsp to match content with audiences and drive ROI for our customers. So it's pretty integral for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Basis?

Top-notch omnichannel targeting technology; vast quality inventory; very attentive customer service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basis?

Wondering if it can be easier to check line item status like a button with color indicating if the campaign is on or off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It provides us with a more robust programmatic buying platform and gives us the confidence that we are utilizing the best and smartest tool in the industry for our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Basis?

Mostly the newest optimization tool, its very helpful and frees up a bit of my time. Also the support team gets back to me relatively quickly when in need of assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basis?

I don't really dislike anything, my biggest issues when first setting up campaigns would be the campaigns would all be turned on and the group wasn't or vice versa and it didn't have a little pop up that notified me they didn't match. Same things for if the dates didn't match. It would solve minor user errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Basis:

Maybe using fresh audience segments or being transparent about who exactly is in the segment or how old the data is would be helpful. If links are broken a pop up should say if that is possible. There are always little things, when you are a user and running 20 or 30 of these, little helpful reminders make the world or problem catchers help me since I make a lot of mistakes :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

targeting exactly who they need. Benefits would be the impressions aren't just blasted out to everyone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Basis?

The platform UI is very clean, well organized menus and very intuitive. After a few campaigns, you can understand mainly most of its capabilities. Personally, the integration of the third party data is essential and this platform performances very nice. Finally, the business executive (customer success manager) assigned to our account is such a great guy, he help us a lot , he organices quarterly meetings to follow up our advances and regularly he send us information, invitations, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basis?

There's once thing to improve, the reporting. Reports are pretty basic and sometimes it's necessary more granulate information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Basis:

Like I said previously, they should work on the reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Basically, to buy good online presences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Basis?

Basis DSP includes the ability to do just about anything in the Programmatic landscape. The UI is intuitive and relatively easy to use. Great control over Sites, Exchanges, and Brand Protection. Bulk uploads and Creative management across brands is extremely helpful. The customer service is top notch, they really treat you as a member of the team. Feature requests are not ignored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basis?

I'd like to see more pacing controls and pacing reporting on a campaign level. The features are being rolled out soon, so there is light at the end of the tunnel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Allows us an efficient and easy way to run Programmatic display campaigns across all devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
