Bannerflow Reviews & Product Details

Bannerflow is a great program to create sets of different sizes. It makes it very easy and straight forward for affiliates to use. All they have to do is grab the iframe link and paste it on their site. It has some great features such as creating a backup animated gif or jpg of the HTML banner of your own choosing. Changing the content of all the banners at once is a breeze. The show case link makes it really easy to have your banners checked out and approved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

On bad days, sometimes it may take a while to load. It would be nice to be able to extract the HTML files of the banners easily. Some of the UI is annoying sometimes. It overlaps and moves around. The time line is a bit too fiddly to place exactly where you want. Sometimes you need to combine two animations together, such as a simple fade with a transition. It's not possible in Bannerflow unless you create the code for it, which defeats the purpose of having a creator UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our workflow goes so much faster with Bannerflow. I think we spend at least half the time after we started using it.

It is also user-friendly so it is easy to learn Bannerflow to new employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When you choose sizes for a banner set, you have to add one and one size. I usually have 10 fixed sizes I use every time so I wish I did not have to add one and one size each time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That bannerflow provides a almost seemless tool for creating what every single browsing person hates the most. - banners.

The reason i love it is the just that. It gives me the creative freedom to put banners to the next level.

With all the smart tools, you can focus om creativity. And push out lowweight and dynamic smart banners.

Kudos for the team that made me belive in low-shit-popup-annoying communication again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As it is a full online server program i have a lot of slow-server, bad collection issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've now worked with Bannerflow for little over three years, and as a designer working with and creating a large quantity of banners, Bannerflow has been a huge timesaver. The intuitive interface, automatic resizing and translation function has allowed me and my team to spend more time on the creative process behind banners, instead of just production. As a platform it also allows a huge amount of freedom with the possibility for any custom code you might want to add.

Customer support is also super helpful whenever there's been any issue or questions, which is much appreciated! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing I dislike really, most minor issues I had with the banner builder has been adressed in the new version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First thing first the support team is amazing. super fast to get back to you and implements extra widget or just helping you to find the best solution. I think they achieve an amazing level with the new Bannerflow studio.

Highly recommended to build and deliver a bunch of creative output, display adds, social videos etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since is a web based platform there are a couple of things such as the realtime feedback during editing. I don-t like also that is a closed platform so you can't imports other HTML5 creativities but they have done a lot of improvements in the new studio version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The bannerflow platform allows you to seamlessly create html5 banner ads and publish them to ad serving platforms.

The content creation tools are easy to use so you don't need any specialist design skills in order to create high quality banner ads. The cost to have an agency create similar ads can be stagering so the ability to create these ads ourselves not only saves us money, it also saves our designers time and helps us to get our marketing campaigns out the door more quickly.

In addition to that the customer service at Bannerflow is second to none. Our account manager Sinead is exceptionally helpful in onboarding new users and helping us resolve any issues swiftly. The training team at bannerflow are more than happy to help any new users up skill quickly and the customer support team are very responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface, while easy to use can take a little bit of getting used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

not sure if it has facilities to accommodate responsive ads

Easy user interface. Great widgets. Fantastic customer support.I also like how easy it is to scale and make banner sets in different sizes. How you can see your impressions, ctr´s and all the statistics needed. It's also great that you can edit banners while they are live and the results are shown imidiently. I highly recommend Bannerflow to any inhouse/advertising agency that want to/need to make HTML5 banners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can feel a little sluggish sometimes since it´s an online tool. The interface can sometimes be a little hard to navigate when you have many layers in a banner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy and fast to build animated banners within Bannerflow without having code knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though it's on their roadmap, managing social native ads are still not possible, opening this door will allow us to have more feeded content in our social ads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customer service is amazing! Their support team provides quick and personal answers. Bannerflow is also very easy to use. They take all feedback to heart and work to update their service asap. Love the personal service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I couldn't find my design asset library outside the design view. Since the studio update, you can't copy-paste a single banner from one banner set into a new banner set. You can't download banner designs to your own computer as html5 files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to use and the Bannerflow team is very helpful. We organize all our bannersets in a way that it is easy to re-use elements and assets. The amount of widgets Bannerflow has is very large and we use it all the time. And in the newest version of Bannerflow Studio we can use animated Json Lottie files! How awesome is that!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A little more control over the animations and keyframes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quick iterations to a bannersets and landing pages Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing really! Bannerflow is a godsend to create a quick campaign with various banner sizes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Fantastic customer support, they respond quickly and take into account feedback for their next update. It's easy to use and it's easy to create a whole series of banners without having to start from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I miss certain features, like being able to duplicate an individual design to another banner set. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's really easy to use, with several functionalities that allows us to make dynamic banners, connect them to feeds, set background videos with several effects... Possibilities are huge. Also, it's easy and smooth to connect it to other platforms or share banner sets in different formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was a bit of a pain to change from the old interface to the new studio, regarding publication, as iFrames were not working for a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It really speeds up our creation workflow, actively using google sheets along with their banner templates give us a easy and time-friendly way to produce high amounts of banners. We are now able to work more automated, and timely banner updates are a thing of the past.

Our local account managers (Sweden) are always quick to answer any inquiry we might have, and have with short notice setup walkthrough skype calls and on site meetings to show and help us with different areas within bannerflow as a tool. They have been of great help all and all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see some data-driven optimization alternatives, in which we could rotate banners based on how the users interact with them or from signals genereated from our website.

Ideally we would like to have convertion feedback loop, to optimize the creative rotation with. That would however make it a different product scope, but it would definitely benefit our DCO solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can build libraries to hold frequently use items Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At the moment I can not duplicate one ad set to another campaign to use as a base. I am told this is in the works Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazing account management team, excellent customer care team, very easy to use, great support chat for easier use of the platform, very straightforward and time-saving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the features feel a bit complicated. It could get more user friendly, but I'm aware that they are working on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We love how adaptable Bannerflow is to our process. Changes are made in real time. Creative can be templatized. It is a very flexible product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do miss many of the design options available prior to the Studio launch, but all in good time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to create many banners based on the previous banners you have already done saving lot's of time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not 100% customisable also the new banner editor has taken away the pulsing affect that I liked to use on buttons Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Speed and translation capability........ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Push integration doesn't exist with DCM so that Ads can update automatically following a change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Bannerflow is time saving when creating a bunch of banners in different sizes. The people working there are also so supportive in your creation, you always get help when you're stuck with some problems to solve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like more flexibility in making animations, but I believe that is developed in the latest version of Bannerflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the simplicity of creating many assets in a short time + the availability of the people who work behind it to make the experience easier and more satisfying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

it's difficult to create text animations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to integrate google documents with a banner or landing page for seamless content changes is great - the efficiency that this creates is seriously mind-blowing. To even try and output the amount of banners without bannerflow you'd need to hire at least 2 more designers. Design and innovation play a big factor within the gaming industry - Bannerflow allows you to add videos and even customisable interactive widgets to really engage the user.

The product is fairly easy to learn depending on the depth you go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is very little, to be honest - the price is quite high but for the quality and what you are able to do it's worth it, there it isn't a better tool on the market. Support is great and is very helpful - there are times when they refer you to articles instead of first-hand help however i've found it more useful to learn the product through the articles this way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is really easy to use, a lot of functions, we can do quite everything we want. Banners creation is made easy thanks to various functions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Downloading banners is not easy at the beginning Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Opportunity to update creatives without trafficking them again

- Great workflow for creating banners

It's probably the best at working with different kinds of creative needs in a dynamic setting. We used to run typical HTML5-creatives for a few clients, but after implementing bannerflow we realized it can create a lot of scale very easily and inexpensively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Poor connections with DCO that require extra steps

- Pricing and deal modes

- Updating on the fly and tracking performance

Things like updating creatives on-the-fly is really useful, but it's hard to track performance before and after changes for example in a separate adserver as the creative is still considered one creative after the changes.

Another thing is that Bannerflow would be also be great for small and medium sized advertisers, for inexpensive simple banner creation needs, but their current contract model won't let me create contracts with agencies anymore. As they require contracts with the advertisers, this rules out a lof smaller advertiser business that would flow their way through the media agency.

DCO is another heavily used function, and to get Bannerflow working with f.ex. Doubleclick Studio, you have to go through quite a few hoops to even get a preview working (and even then, it's an external preview in Studio). Not a very intuitive system currently.
