(Original )Information
What do you like best about Xandr Invest?

APB (Appnexus Programmable Bidding) is one of the most tailored options in the market if you want to create your own algorithm using one of the leader DSPs.

Goal based optimization using the algorithm of the platform, It works better on CPA basis if the volume of the pixels is high enough.

Real time monitor pulse helps to easily see if everything is up and running. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xandr Invest?

Creative audit is too slow and it does not show enough details of the rejection.

However, the audit process has improved in the last year.

The interface is not as user friendly as other platforms.

The creative uploading process is probably the worst thing that we find on APN. The last platform update was supposed to make things easier however, it's even less intuitive as before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Xandr Invest:

The support team is not very supportive and I guess that's related to the company policy.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xandr Invest solving and how is that benefiting you?

Achieving very good results while testing APB (Appnexus Programmable Bidder = Custom Algorithm). Log level data analysis required in the process.

ALI (Augmented Line Item) allows more buying types and optimizations such as Cost Per In View. These in-view values are aligned with external ad verification technologies (IAS).

ALI also reduces sleeping bids, which means that the DSP doesn't activate and deactivate the bids to adjust the pacing. The line item would see all the bids, this increases the chances of reaching valuable users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xandr Invest?

Appnexus is a very customizable platform : with some technical background, you can go far further than the console ! The appnexus programmable bidder feature is a relevant example of this philosophy and a powerful tool to leverage advanced machine learning at scale.

Besides the wiki is comprehensive and the APIs well documented Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xandr Invest?

The console is sometimes counterintuitive and globally less user friendly than other DSPs, even if Appnexus did a lot of progress in this field since 2008.

Especiallly dashboarding could be improved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Xandr Invest:

Appnexus is a great choice if you have programming skills Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xandr Invest solving and how is that benefiting you?

Scibids Technology is a french company dedicated to help media buyers maximize the performance of their programmatic campaigns by integrating bidding logics based on cutting-edge machine learning in an efficient and non-invasive way. In particular we leverage deeply the Appnexus Programmable Bidder and provide media buyers with dramatic cost per acquisition reduction Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xandr Invest?

It has many features for self service, to big and small buyers. It is connected with much exchanges and it's intuitive. The best DSP to connect with Microsoft Exchange adn make deals with them. Good perfomance and easy to make pixels. Cheap inventory. Lot of possibilities with Rich media. Big wiki. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xandr Invest?

Maybe the technical service, it's practically impossible to solve an issue with your country manager. Also you can have some issues if you want to do deals through Adx exchange. They have some strange sellers, maybe if you decide to use it you should do seller clenaning every month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Xandr Invest:

It's a good tool but they should grow in technical service because they are so slow in ther replies. They had improved their inventory quality but i recommend do sellers cleaning month by month. Currently they have a real time support but the process with the country manager is slow.

I think in video is so young. When you do CNV pixel you must do segment pixels as well, but the implementation and the options to do it are hight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xandr Invest solving and how is that benefiting you?

it's a good tool for buy branding campaigns. It's the best way to buy in Microsoft Exchange and make deals in Outlook. It's easy to use it and have mobile web abilities (opposition to another). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xandr Invest?

I like the fact that you are able to see where all the results are going and that you can really get a good look at how companies CPMs are increasing or decreasing. It's a great way to alert you when its time to give them a little nudge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xandr Invest?

I wish the reports you get from down loading would be a little better to understand and reformat for better use when creating reports for Microsoft Excel. In the our company this information is really valuable as we send reports to our clients and partner companies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xandr Invest solving and how is that benefiting you?

We send monthly reports to our clients and our partnering companies to create a better business relationship by being very transparent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Xandr Invest?

This product is good because you have an option of self-classifying if you need something to run right away. It's good for serving to all kinds of inventory and has a vast reach of available impressions. Less strict on alcohol, pharmacy, gambling advertisers. The creative section is better than most others in that you can put creative into separate folders and older creative automatically become inactive after a period of time of inactivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Xandr Invest?

Harder to navigate, there is too much going on in the platform. Sometimes counterintuitive. The user has to be careful not to be too restrictive while setting up the line items because changes made to campaigns cannot override the higher level settings. Setting up a campaign takes a lot longer too because you cannot see everything on one screen. Seems like AppNexus grew too fast to take the user experience into account. There is also a delay in a campaign to start to serve right away which requires for the creative to be approved first before it can start serving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Xandr Invest:

Good if you are trying to reach a wide network of publishers. Also is better for advertisers looking for less restrictions on content. UI is not easy to navigate though and support takes a while as it seems the support team assigned is though a ticketing system and more impersonal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Xandr Invest solving and how is that benefiting you?

Best for serving more unregulated content. Cost can be more efficient. Another benefit is that it shows only active creative when assigning to the campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
