Support from my Customer Success Manager (Kallie Francke) who is incredibly knowledgable, detail-oriented and supportive.

There are several placements that show up as "Anonymous" that seem sketchy/potentially fraudulent. I wish Centro would comb through their placements to ensure that these placements are not in their traffic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Basis?

The bulk creative upload tool is a lifesaver. Overall, the platform is fairly easy to use and manage. The auto-optimization tool is also great and saves me time on optimizations I normally would have spent more time on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basis?

Bulk edits to creative are difficult - you have to edit campaigns individually if editing anything other than destination URL, impression URL or status. It would be great to see spend by audience if you have multiple segments included in one campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are trying to drive engagement and leads. Being able to optimize for multiple goals has been hugely helpful with this campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much that I dislike, except when copying a campaign and changing a date, the dates do not change across the whole campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are helping clients reach specific audiences outside of our one publication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Basis?

Upload bulk creative function, a lot of other DSPs don't give you the option to do it yourself and put you through a long process of filling out excel sheets. I really like that I have a lot of control over sites placements, and it's easy to pull a reports for what I need, even if its' last minute. Also, the customer service is amazing, anything we need help with the team is there to help, and they are always open to suggestions and feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basis?

Lots of lag, sometimes it takes a while to load and save. When doing a bulk upload of creative and multiple ads are not accepted, it only shows one individual ad rather than the multiple that might have issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Using Basis as a self serve has given us the option to test out multiple things and see changes/shut off low performing tactics with ease. We frequently optimize to not just one primary conversions, but multiple, and it has allowed us to do that. I wouldn't want to use any other DSP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
