I use the Human dashboard, interacting with MediaGuard every day. I like the sense of security it offers both me as a quality specialist as well as it offers our buyers. I really enjoy working with our account team. When I first started workign with WhiteOps, the security DNA was strong, but not the service aspect. Emails went unanswered, my contact wasn't helpful. But, in the last few years, the turnaround is remarkable, and I note it often internally at my company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MediaGuard? The UI! It seems very web 2.0. For example, if I'm configuring a quick report in explore view, but forget to change the data source to MediaGuard, I lose all my selections as they reset. I would prefer it to be much more user friendly, able to adjust on the fly to user inputs so repeating inputs isn't required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is MediaGuard solving and how is that benefiting you? 1) Blocks IVT traffic before it goes to auction, thus protecting buyers from invalid traffic. 2) Allows me to dive in and parse out inventory and sellers based on their history of IVT.

Supply Partnerships Analyst Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/21/2025 "MediaGuard helps us rest easy" 5/5 What do you like best about MediaGuard? The 24/7 dashboard and reporting tool are great for round the clock troubleshooting and monitoring. The 1x month touchbases with our account team and the montly report they provide is extremely valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MediaGuard? I haven't personally experienced a downside in my time with this product/service Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is MediaGuard solving and how is that benefiting you? MediaGuard monitors IVT and fraud across our DSP. We specialize in pharma advertising, which means high expecations, high budgets, etc. Having MediaGuard as an extra layer of fraud prevention is very reassuring and goes along way with our clients. Clients want to know their ad dollars are being spent efficiently, on quality supply that an actual human is seeing/interacting with. MediaGuard helps give us that confidence.

I think it'd be good to have some more pointed recomendations that we can follow based on the data thats provided to us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having a 3rd party check for fraudulent requests is valuable because clients are very sensitive about how their money is being spent and giving them the peace of mind that we reject any requests that has a high chance of being fraudulent helps instill confidence in our platform as a whole.

AS Adam S. Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 5/19/2023 "The Best in the Business!" 5/5 What do you like best about MediaGuard? Technology. The technology for us was a the top of the list when it came to evaluating vendors for filtering out fraud and SIVT. When we started with HUMAN, they were still a younger company, but we felt a company that had its roots in combating fraud and bots and was the sole purpose of their business was the best for our clients in order to layer on protection. As time has gone on, we have found that the customer service is incredible. The team we work with continues to impress us and delivers white glove service that makes using the product as easy as possible. Ultimately, we feel protected and cared for by HUMAN. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MediaGuard? The service is expensive, however, it is expensive for a reason, it is the best in the business and we deem it necessary to protect our clients from fraud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is MediaGuard solving and how is that benefiting you? MediaGuard allows us to have protection, with the highest MRC certification, and allow us to share this with our clients so that they are aware they are being protected which is valuable. This also helps us in any cases where someone may believe they have found fraud, we are able to bring in the team at HUMAN to help us navigate this tricky situation. However, we haven't had a single complaint in the last 4 years and for that we are very grateful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allows us to get detailed reporting for any of our DSP partners or advertisers and provide clear insights into the fraud detection efforts we are implementing. This keeps our supply chain clean and allows us to dispute any issues we encounter Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MediaGuard? Mostly just the gaps between fraudsensor and mediaguard that stem from where they do their scanning. I frequently go into the UI and build a report without remembering to switch products and it just makes me duplicate efforts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is MediaGuard solving and how is that benefiting you? Ensuring that our supply is fraud and IVT free is the primary, and being able to optimize, troubleshoot, and verify when a client flags some kind of issue. The lack of a uniform scanning process across IVT vendors means we see various results but having out system run on HUMAN puts us in a strong position to confirm our supply is clean.

The ability to see not only IVT broken by individual publishers, channels, domains, bundles, etc. The granularity capability of the reporting and the clarification on flagged reasons. The client service team behind the product is fantastic to work with and take any notes I may have and turn them into product features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about MediaGuard? I don't have any significant complaints; I would like to understand more about the guidlines or process behind determining what is considered invalid traffic and industry norms. Like why does every traffic validation service report differently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is MediaGuard solving and how is that benefiting you? MediaGuard is helping us identify issues we find in traffic, like CTV and App, that tend to be the most problematic.
