What do you like best about Viant Technology?

The Viant platform is well integrated with many suppliers and capabilities and provides great access into targeting and audiences for campaigns. Particularly, the integration with Commerce signals across the Adelphic DSP is a great as well as the off the shelf PMPs curated in the marketplace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viant Technology?

The reporting functionality could be improved across self service to be able to see Reach/Frequency and be improved for a smoother user experience (slow/laggy download of reports). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Viant Technology solving and how is that benefiting you?

off the shelf targeting and audience building Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Viant Technology?

I like the ease of updating multiple buy lines in one fell swoop, using spreadsheet editor and the bulk edit tool.

I also like the data integrations and custom audience building capabilities that are 100% cookieless.

Last but not least, advanced reporting (foot traffic /visitation lift, conversion lift, brand lift) all super helpful in proving impact and incrementality, not just volume. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viant Technology?

I wish there was an easier way to report out on reach and frequency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Viant Technology solving and how is that benefiting you?

Unified/standardized targeting is a key problem that Viant solves. I can connect to multiple publishers and suppliers all using the same targeting layers so there's consistency and flexibility to shift budget where the right segments are found.

Viant also solves our need to measure in-store visitation without having to leverage a 3rd party like PlaceIQ or Foursquare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have used other DSP's biggest to smallest. There is just no comparison. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viant Technology?

The UIUX of the platform is a bit confusing. More help from AI with regard to bid optimization would be awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Viant Technology solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use our patented technology that is Acxiom based. When we combine the two platforms, the results are always; double or more the industry average. Regardless of Product or Service being advertised. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Viant Technology?

The ability to see real time data for almost every metric in the campaign. The bid multipliers section is great and really easy to use. It's nice to be able to filter live campaign reporting by dates and see all the data without needing to pull a report. Overall it's much more easy to use than other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viant Technology?

Sometimes when filtering dates in the top left on a campaign the page doesn't change. I need to reload the browser. sometimes multiple times.

When I copy a line and try and either copy or associate creatives they don't get copied over to the new line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Viant Technology solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being able to change bid factors so quickly is very helpful.

Identity graph makes audience matching much more effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Viant Technology?

Percise targeting and being able to advertise across the web with ease make it a preferred DSP to use. Their are plenty of resources to learn and our account manager has been helpful with questions and assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viant Technology?

My knowledge with DSP isn't that broad so it's hard for me to say what is lacking. I would say, I still occassionally struggle with the ad hiechary and layering inside of adelphic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Viant Technology solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helping us get in front of more people while controling more aspects of the campaign/targeting compared to other digital marketing programs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Viant Technology?

We have great support from the Viant team and they go above and beyond to support us. The UI is easy to use and navigate. Able to target/deliver at the zip+4 level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viant Technology?

There is no API integrations with SSP's, so you have to manually add deals and there is no way to control the volume of spend going toward a particular deal within a single line item. It is a waste of time and resources to have to set up a line item per publisher. With the numbers of publishers we work with this limited functionality means we cannot manage all our publishers within the Viant DSP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Viant Technology solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is one of the few DSP's that can execute campaign targeting/delivery down to the zip+4 level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Viant Technology?

Viant's platform is very user friendly. Despite the complexity of their tools, the interfaces easy to navigate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viant Technology?

Although the platform is generally user-friendly, some of the more advanced features can be a bit daunting for newcomers. A more extensive onboarding process or additional training resources could help users understand better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Viant Technology solving and how is that benefiting you?

Accurately targeting the right audience is a significant challenge in advertising. Viant's advanced data solutions and artificial intelligence capabilities enable precise audience segmentation and targeting, ensuring that ads reach the most relevant consumers.

What do you like best about Viant Technology?

Viant technology is intuitive, user-friendly, cutting-edge and best of all, accompanied by a dedicated, responsive customer service team. Campaigns are easy to set up and manage and the team we work with frequently reaches out proactively with optimization opportunities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viant Technology?

The data library can be a tad overwhelming, but the search feature is useful and the team is more than willing to help you pull together custom data segments that complement your goals. It's also my understanding that an AI chat feature is on the horizon that would be able to assist with building out audiences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Viant Technology solving and how is that benefiting you?

Viant is leading the way in cookieless advertising solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Viant Technology?

It's quite the agnostic & holistic platform as it pertains to having all of the tech & tools, as well as data/plugins, that one would need to run a programmatic campaign. The UI is very easy to use and is integrated with LiveRamp and other platforms/vendors to be able to push your own 1P, 2P or 3P data into the platform to leverage. The team is always available when you need them; and they're right there by your side to ensure you're setting up & implementing things properly from a campaign setup perspective. We've historically used the DSP quite a lot at my agency, particularly our programmatic experts in house, and have found it to be one of our top Go-To platforms for running a number of campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Viant Technology?

Coming from a healthcare marketing agency, it would be extremely beneficial if Viant/Adelphic had tools that were specific to my industry -- e.g. outcomes measurement tools/capes, patient modeling, HCP targeting capabilities, more granular contextual/keyword targeting by using conditions & therapeutic areas, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Viant Technology solving and how is that benefiting you?

They're a one-stop-shop for all things programmatic buying, and that makes the lives of our media buyers & programmatic traders a lot easier -- when we can use one platform/one partner to handle a brunt of all the buying and across various ad formats, channels, inventory sources, audiences, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
