"Saves Time but a bit pricey."

3/5

What do you like best about AdStage?

The reporting tool was amazing as it saved hours of creating reports and emailing them to clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdStage?

The integrations were a bit faulty. I would connect certain platforms (Google Analytics) and have no data from them despite triple-checking on my end to be sure I had done the process correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Adstage is great, but not for everything..."

3/5

What do you like best about AdStage?

Automation of reports and setting up rules to guide system behaviour. Ability to create custom metrics, which has just been released, is a game-changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdStage?

Still some learnings to be done. Not as fluid as the native solutions, however, developments recently makes for great justification . AdStage focuses on where the money is, namely Facebook and Google, which makes sense, we are however a pure LinkedIn business so the total value was lost to us. It also seemed like the adoption of platform elements to the tool took longer than necessary. Finally, currency conversion proved a big problem for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Adstage For Sheets Review"

5/5

What do you like best about AdStage?

Extremely easy to pull account and campaign data into Google Sheets to manipulate at your pleasure. This makes it simple to create dashboards or even deep analysis reports of your data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdStage?

It can be a little buggy and it takes a few days to learn the "language". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AdStage:

Just do it. It's cheaper than its rivals and seems as fully featured. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Very quick access to campaign data - we use this to monitor KPIs. Budget pacing is now the easiest it has ever been for us. We've saved money on not having a custom dashboard built. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly useful metric wrangling machine!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about AdStage?

Porting in all our advertising through one platform has saved me days worth of work every month! Customer support has been amazing and easily one of the most reliable and responsive I've ever worked with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdStage?

Some tables can take a while to populate... granted they're pinging multiple external data sources to gather the metrics, so not sure how much faster this can really get. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One API Call Gets all Your Ad Data in an Universal Data Model"

5/5

What do you like best about AdStage?

We chose AdStage because of their robust Data API and great customer support staff. The automation of data sourcing allows us to focus on strategic insights, faster optimizations, and ultimately, better results for our clients. AdStage also offers the ability to do day parting for LinkedIn Campaigns which LInkedIn doesn't have in their platform. I also like that they are constantly staying on top of the market and offering different utilities such as Google Sheets and/or Google Data Studio offering. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdStage?

Would be great to have display vendor integrations such as awlogy or other paid media platforms such as quora and/or pinterest. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AdStage:

It takes only minutes to sync your Ad Platform and see the immediate value of consolidating all your ad platform data into 1 view. On top of that you can set up alerts and automation rules to optimize your campaigns and share custom dashboard URLs to share with your clients.

I also would recommend taking advantage of both the AdStage Join product which connects CRM data and as well as their Offline Conversion Import utility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

BusinessOnline saved over 960 hours on reporting with AdStage's API and achieved up to 5X higher click-through rate for our clients on LinkedIn. We eliminated the manual repetitive process of having an Analyst go in and download data from LInkedIn to report on performance against other channels.

"An Expensive Solution Still Working the Kinks Out"

2.5/5

What do you like best about AdStage?

Being able to create custom metrics for your ad accounts and then base rules or alerts or widgets off those custom metrics is pretty useful. Want to know the combined cost for a Purchase on App or Website? Or maybe what the approximate gross profits for your campaigns are if you have 30% COGS? Boom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdStage?

The platform is fairly new so new features are being added and bugs pop up. Maybe your rules will run, and maybe they won't. Maybe they'll switch the authorization token to a different user. Maybe your reports won't run as scheduled.

And if something does go wrong, better hope it's not on a Monday - because the team is slammed with tickets from the weekend and best case you'll hear back at the end of the day. Worst case? Talk tomorrow - hope it wasn't important! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AdStage:

Given the price point, strongly evaluate what you're looking for AdStage to do. It's nice to have all the features in one place, but if you only need automation there are less expensive, more robust options out there. Same for Reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

AdStage was brought on in our agency to solve both client reporting and also account automation. While there were some cases where the benefits of having automation rules helped reduce busy work on the accounts (manual bid/budget changes), mostly it's actually created more work for us in terms of finding bugs, jury-rigging workarounds and trying to force it to be better at each component piece (Reporting, Automation).

"Incredible asset for those in Paid Avertising"

5/5

What do you like best about AdStage?

I work primarily in paid social advertising and it has been such an incredible tool for us. It saves so much time in custom exports and excels work. It also saves tons of times in sending reports to clients. Having something built out with 90% of what we need is such a huge value in allowing us to get back to optimizations and overall strategy.

We've implemented it across the agency and have heard resounding feedback on its helpfulness. We can end up spending a lot of time doing excel exports and pivots on data just to get insights on a specific campaign. Adstage helps us do this instantaneously and automatically whenever we need it.

Secondly, this has been a huge time save with clients. We are able to create templates, import clients into a template and customize that report for the client's needs. We can then have it sent on an ongoing basis sp they can view it as they need and we don't have to spend the time compiling it each time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdStage?

It has a learning curve, but once you spend some time with it, the time you invested in learning will pay off in the long run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3/5

What do you like best about AdStage?

The variety of reporting widgets across different platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdStage?

AdStage can be a littly clunky - having to add accounts, then make them "turned on", and wait for them to sync before you can setup/create any dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AdStage:

AdStage can be a helpful tool with automation of reporting for clients, as well as, creating rules for marketing campaigns. It is a newer tool that you can see them progressively rolling out updates and features to make it even better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We've used AdStage to share weekly dashboards to our clients as well as, running some automations for marketing campaigns Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"AdStage has made it very easy "

4.5/5

What do you like best about AdStage?

I love AdStage. The tool is great and all, but the team is so great. Margo seriously makes my job easier as a marketer and whenever I have issues she's right there as fast as she can to help out. AdStage has done a great job and making support easy and I look forward to their growth as a company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AdStage?

The reports have been buggy and draggy at times. For the price we're paying, I wish it was more reliant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AdStage:

Great tool for those who already have clients who need to cut down on time spent pulling reports for clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I don't have to pull reports on a monthly basis for a lot of my clients because it already syncs to what we're doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
