What do you like best about ironSource?

While ironSource has been a go-to platform for mobile advertising, a recent, unexpected decrease in interstitial ad impressions warrants scrutiny. The volume halved overnight across 2 accounts under my management, a significant concern given the direct impact on revenue. This abrupt change, inconsistent with normal market fluctuations ( traffic was the same when it came to quantity and quality ), raises questions about the reliability of ironSource's system. Overall, the experience has been unsettling, necessitating cautious reliance on the platform until a thorough explanation or rectification is provided. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ironSource?

Equally disconcerting is my interaction with their support team. While they are generally responsive and eager to assist, there are instances where the relevance of their responses is questionable. It feels as though the crux of the communicated issue sometimes misses the mark, leading to inefficient resolution times and lingering concerns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Ironsource addresses several critical needs in the realm of app monetization, providing developers like me with an end-to-end solution that is both comprehensive and easy to navigate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ironSource?

Higher ecpm, more campaigns, intuitive mediation... I've tried several mediation tools and ironsource is the one i like the most. I always try to convince developers to move to ironsource Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ironSource?

You cannot have a network in bidding and waterfall as other tools have. There is duplicity in this mediation. Sometimes we have issues with the reporting with other networks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The posibility of having mediation in our games and not working only with just one network. Having this, we can reach higher eCPM, have more competition between networks etc... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ironSource?

I really like the user interface of Ironsource. In comparisson to other software tools, Ironsource si very intuitive. Finding things I dont remember where they were located never its too dificult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ironSource?

Not having a record of the changes I have done in the bidding or waterfalls is something I am missing. It would be so much easier to track if we are implementing them right if we could see the latest changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

In our business we use ironsource everyday in order to work with ad networks that fill the ad placements in our games. Its also very usefull to see the data related to how users interact with those placements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ironSource?

It is very simple to use, easy to configure and data with little delay in reporting. It also fulfills perfectly its function as a mediator since it does not self-benefit its own network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ironSource?

Does not allow cross-promotion between your applications, usually increases ANRs in your application and only allows to mediate iOS and Android, it should start accepting apps from different stores. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

IronSource allows me to clearly see my media optimizations and what each ad source pays me for my impressions in one place, I can have perfect control of my inventory, optimize it by specific groups depending on my impressions and see the reality of my ad revenue in one place without the need to be jumping between all the ad sources you use, it is a hybrid tool that accepts the classic waterfall and bidding.

What do you like best about ironSource?

The easiness with which I can manage my monetization and my apps, its amazing how easy it is to segment users by country and type. I love the SOV tool on the mediation page and how clear the graphics are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ironSource?

I don't like very much that sometimes we have discrepancies on impressions, as any other second party tool it has its defects and this one is kind of major. It is important to rely clearly on this kind of platform and if things don't match it's not 100% helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

currently, we are solving a couple of problems, first as mentioned discrepancies between our sources and Iron source, this needs to be exact. And secondly, we are solving a problem regarding requests, we make more requests than the ones iron source is allowing on the platform, hence fewer impressions and less money Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
