What do you like best about Innovid?
In a world where TV is already difficult enough to track, Innovid helps bridge the gap between agency and client metrics. Overall, I really like the pivot flexibility and customization. I also have learned to like the UI of the platform, it is very easy to use and simple once you get a hang of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What do you dislike about Innovid?
Having to reach out to someone or submit a ticket, wait for a response and sometimes after waiting for that response, realizing you did not file the ticket under the correct description or issue based on what is available from the drop down selection menu. This limits the speed and ease in performing certain tasks could be automated with the proper backend infrastructure in place.
I would've liked a second call with our customer success manager (once we started using the software heavily) to answer any questions or provide a second walkthrough. We did an original walkthrough, but between the walkthrough and the first use case of the software, time had passed where it was like learning how to crawl or walk from square 0. This added a lot of hurdles and based on the number of tickets filed on my end, a clear indication that basic things explained on the initial call had been forgotten. Basically it posed a high learning curve with many mistakes.
There were also certain things that weren't explained, for example when uploading spot logs, the Data Groups can be named! Had we known this, we would've requested all portals to have datasets named per vendor to help keep track of things on our end, instead of uploading all vendor post logs in one consolidated file as seen in our first portals, and having to reupload the whole entire larger file again and again if metrics changed after being finalized from the vendor's side or if there was an error on our side and the system would then take much longer to process the same file with minor edits versus a smaller file with less line items.
We also understand there were changes and updates being actively implemented, but it would've been nice for example to receive a video or an email with however much frequency to explain: the new X interface has changed and this is now where you will find this or that, etc.. And also understand that there are certain cadences to different accounts and the way data is handled or presented, so this is just one case for one of our clients which was the account I mainly managed.
Lastly, I hate that we have to ask / submit a ticket, to enable certain views like spot count or audience (individual) impressions versus standard HH impressions. When column mapping Linear TV logs during the upload process, there should be more flexibility and customizability there; this step of asking Innovid, delayed certain deliverables to clients and impacted the whole basis on using this data analysis software in the first place. We found ourselves having to submit tickets for things like the aforementioned, that we thought would remain in place and consistent once changed in one portal/market/campaign.
