## Reviews

### "The right solution + amazing customer service" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *12 February 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We have unique requirements for our ad server use and Adzerk ticked every box. We love how easily we've been able to configure Adzerk to work with our business model. In addition, the customer support has been amazing. Every time we've jumped on a call with them they've 10X value with their guidance and advice.
> 
> **Cons**: As others have mentioned, the UI isn't perfect and the help documentation doesn't always fit the bill, but their outstanding customer service overshadows any of these minor issues.

### "Great Product" — 5.0/5

> **Adam** | *12 December 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It's one of the best products for non programmatic ad serving. You have the ability to fully customize your ad response to complete your user experience which allows for you to have completely native ads. If you know what you're doing in the ad space it gives you something you won't be able to do with DFP/GAM. The more creative you are, the better this product will be for you. I highly recommend it for any team that does a direct sales or performance based advertising.
> 
> **Cons**: There are two cons and one is easily something you can overcome. The first is if you strictly use their UI, it can be a challenge, but you have the ability to do everything via API if you prefer. The second is if you strictly intend to use this product programmatically you won't be experiences the real benefits but in no means will you be going wrong.
> 
> Great people who have worked with us over the years answering questions on how we can improve our ad serving using their products.

### "Adzerk is a fine tool" — 4.0/5

> **Andrea** | *30 May 2019* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It allows Imgur to serve native content ads that are not ad blocked which is extremely useful in reaching our users.&#10;The UI is fairly easy to use. &#10;Our reps and support over the years have been responsive and willing to help troubleshoot.
> 
> **Cons**: We have a very custom integration with Adzerk so sometimes it is difficult to troubleshoot.&#10;Not customizable in terms of setting campaigns/flights to pace via creative lines. &#10;It's possible that some metrics are not being recorded by adzerk due to ad blockers.

### "Easiest and Fastest way to Implement your own Native Ad Server" — 5.0/5

> **Josh** | *27 February 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: When starting Spoutable we looked at many different Native Ad Servers as a Service companies.   We are still very happy with our choice years later.  It was very fast to get up and running.  We have since integrated with other platforms and Adzerk is still the easiest to integrate with.   The support has been great.   They continue to update their platform with new features.  It just works.
> 
> **Cons**: It doesn't do 'everything' in the ad world.  Its focused on native and it does that really well.  Its not a video player or video ad server or meant for traditional display advertising.   If you are looking to build a full stack its a very strong piece of the puzzle but its a piece and not the whole puzzle.

### "Great ad serving capabilities and fantastic customer support" — 4.0/5

> **Carter** | *22 December 2021* | Online Media | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We use Kevel to serve ads on on multiple sites. Having one platform for all of our advertisers, campaigns and reporting is a huge benefit. The user interface has a small learning curve, but once you understand how to use it, it's very easy to navigate. This is the first time we've used an ad server, and the team was friendly and helpful as we got it set up. The ongoing support is also great, and the team helps us solve problems quickly.
> 
> **Cons**: There's more to be desired with Kevel's reporting capabilities. Reports don't allow for much customization, and scheduling reports can be tricky. There are also some more basic metrics we track that are not accessible through the platform - we typically have to download reports and perform calculations on our side.
> 
> Overall, Kevel has helped us build out our advertising capabilities, and the customer service team has helped us learn and improve on how we serve our ads.
