What do you like best about OpenX?

My clients are constantly asking for reporting, they want to know how many clicks their ads got, what percentage of people clicked on them, how many people saw the ads, etc and this tool helps us track those numbers accurately and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenX?

I have to use this in combination with another program called SailThru in order to generate all of the information my clients ask for. I would like for these services to somehow be combined. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Be sure you know the functions, it's great for generating reports and filtering results to very specific things!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are solving the issue of tracking ad clicks and impressions, generating reports easily that can be modified and filtered for the specific information and client we are looking to track, and it's very easy! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenX?

I like how they cater to publishers of all sizes. Also have good programmatic tools for publishers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenX?

some of the rates are low for the programmatic revenue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenX:

Continue to play both sides of the ad stack (i.e. ssp and dsp). Since you have ad serving capabilities, you are one of the few companies that can compete with Google (DFP/DFA) in the programmatic space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Helping to monetize my ad inventory globally and not just in the US. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenX?

We have a great relationship with The Trade Desk and work with OpenX to complement our PMP buys. They help scale and reach our target efficiently. While I do not directly handle the buy with OpenX, they have been a consistent partner in 2016. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenX?

There is less transparency in site specific metrics here and optimization options by site are limited. If we were able to optimize on certain site level data, that would be helpful. There is limited scale for video within premium environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenX:

Work with a DSP to help manage updates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Programmatic scale issues - the benefits are obvious through efficient pricing and relatively successful engagement metrics. The ability to overlay data segments has bolstered our targeting across the board for a number of campaigns within our client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenX?

I use OpenX in my daily work life to source and monitor ad campaigns we use for clients. I like that Openx is standardizing all of their different pages. Create line items, create ads... all follows the same guidelines Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenX?

Lately, OpenX has been making a lot of changes to their interface... that I wouldn't say is 'for the better'. In particular, their new reporting tool is very convoluted and difficult to use. We find ourselves reverting to the old reporting tool for now...but they will be getting rid of it soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are delivering ads to our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about OpenX?

Ability to micro-target my target audience with a good conversion is a gift for anyone launching a new product. Analytics is top-notch and helps us do A/B testing etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about OpenX?

UI can be improved. Ability to create multiple user accounts with varied permissions is desired as we do not want every one to put hands on all the data Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering OpenX:

Targeted campaigns - OpenX is the tool to go for! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We were launching a new product. We defined our target audience and were searching for a good tool to kick start our online user acquisition campaign. OpenX helped in starting our campaign without much hassle. Also, it even helped us by analysing which segment of users had better conversions and let us tweak our product according to customers.
