&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Nice post. Yes, and the usual path to that is reporting: a platform can feel easy to launch a campaign in and still centralize every performance question on the one person who learned how to build the report. Daily use holds when the dashboard answers the routine questions without an export and when campaigns run without someone babysitting pacing, which is exactly the split your criteria point at. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;background-color: transparent; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;The feature-count trap is real, too, since the deepest platform often becomes the one only a specialist opens, while the team quietly lives in whatever gives them a clean daily view. The platforms that stay in daily rotation are the ones where reporting is self-serve, and campaigns hold pacing on their own, not the ones with the longest feature list.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
