Being able to dynamically retarget users across the internet. They've definitely become more transparent the past few years as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My biggest gripe is that sometimes because the ads offered by Criteo themselves are dynamic, sometimes you'll have to be served an image/headline/ combination that doesn't make sense before you can work with the team to have it resolved. Also pixel issues can be very annoying as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I liked the security Cretio offers against others like steelhouse or adroll. - they each have their place, but I have suggested Cretio a few times, I've used quite a few tools and the remarketing and prospecting features have been great to get qualified people through the door and help scale our efforts.

The security of Cretio and matching comes with a carve-out here, when I first started I was under the impression I could have the prospecting tool dig up various new leads and help deliver ads to them. I was sceptical about the accuracy, I was a bit right. When I started the tool's network can't really begin working for you if your site traffic is relatively low. I worked on implementing a tool at a luxury brand, but because the cost of the product was niche and traffic was minimal we couldn't deploy and had to search for an alternative solution.

Low Cost and pay per click model, no insane fees as other agencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Wish they had more products we would move all our marketing here if they had more channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've been lucky to work with three Criteo reps and have had a consistent experience as a user. The results have been delivered and accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
After three years, I don't have too many dislikes. I'm a growth marketer now but used to be a Google ads expert. I'd love to see more audience data and uncover ways to optimize and improve other than bids. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Campaign performance is great, with the CPC model, we can better track KPIs in other platforms, such as Google Analytics.
The ability to control spending very closely, together with automated bid management is very helpful. The team is very supportive and the user interface easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Dynamic ad creative is not always the best, sometimes because of the layout, sometimes due to the quality of the product images. We can add static overlay images to improve creative assets, but the dynamic ads may not be ideal, depending on how concerned you are about branding and brand guideline.

I like that the platform runs by itself. It doesn't require a lot of labor on our end. Even with the little effort, the system is able to target qualified users and get them to return to the site at a comparable return on ad spend to our other marketing efforts.

The service is a bit of a black box, I like to be able to debug when things go wrong. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Very easy to get started; setup was a breeze and required very little effort on our part which was a huge plus. Detailed reporting and analytics are easy to access and view all in one central spot. Ads are well designed and look professional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes when we approve a recommendation to increase our bid for ad space before a weekend or at the start of the month the bid amount will be too high and our monthly budget will be spent within a few days or a week which limits the advertising we can do for the remainder of the month.

I like the breadth of knowledge of Criteo's team and the extensive retargeting services that are able to be offered. Compared to other retargeting services, Criteo is the most feature-rich. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
After historically accumulating a great deal of time from sign-up, Criteo shifted our account over to a managed services team with less person-to-person interaction on a weekly basis to give status updates on our account. That has been a bit more challenging as most discussion now occurs over email and there is more of a time delay in trying to make changes and adjustments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
