What do you like best about Marin Software?

Alot of reporting options and more accurate spending data. Marin is a fast, and once you learn to use it, easy to use platform. Our only issue is the learning tools on the site come a bit short of where we would like them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marin Software?

UI can be a bit confusing for new users, training new users can be hard. In program training is woeful at best. Learning is limited to mostly to text and not to an audio visual medium. This can disengage trainees and cause alot of future questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Maria Breaux of Marin Software

We’re aware that our UI is designed to solve some complex challenges for advertisers, but we’re always working hard to simplify workflows. For new users, we recommend starting your Marin training experience with our certification program. Our courses are designed to give you a hands-on approach to learning the platform in a simulated environment. You can find our certification courses at Marin University at https://support.marinsoftware.com/en-us/Marin_University. Additionally, Marin University offers you opportunities to watch recordings of our Marin Live webinars and in-depth training articles, complete with videos and interactive exercises. We hope you find these resources helpful!

What do you like best about Marin Software?

The biggest thing that stands out to me is their customer service. This is something I have had issues with when using competitors. Of course, the platform has the majority of what we need and we couldnt grow without it. The customer services has been the biggest benefit for a company that needs to pivot and improve the platform quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marin Software?

The lack of some reports like time of day?ad scheduling. also, it would be great if it was real time bidding and not just once per day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Maria Breaux of Marin Software

Thanks so much for your review! Marin’s able to push bids multiple times per day. If you’re experiencing issues with this functionality, please reach out to your account team.

What do you like best about Marin Software?

That it houses all of my campaigns, regardless of engine, in one place. I can easily see a quick snapshot of performance this way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marin Software?

There are many glitches with the software that you don't realize unti you are working in the platform frequently - for example you have to reupload the creative bulksheet with the term "landing page" instead of click through URL. This is just one of many examples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Marin Software?

The foldering strategy is a great way to handle small data issues on a lot of our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Marin Software?

Syncing issues are a regular thing for us, and adds additional complexity with tracking. Lately, we've also seen a lag of support on newer features with Marin, causing us to be slow to test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
