## Resonate Ignite Platform Reviews
  ### 1. Love Resonate for all things audience!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rachel F. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 07, 2023

**What do you like best about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

Resonate does a great job of having a plethora of ways to use the data insights from the audiences you build. They recently rolled out an AI feature which aggregates the data for you too, but you can narrow in by topic quite easily and see the comp/freq to help compare. You can organize the data to build audiences easily, either making it an AND statement or an OR statement to make it as broad/niche as you want. We use it for every client and roll it out onto a variety of platforms like Meta, Trade Desk, etc, throughout the year.

**What do you dislike about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

Sometimes it's hard to find an insight that specifically highlights what you're looking for (example: sparkling water vs. seltzer), it can be more broad. There is so much information it also can be quite overwhelming, but they are working on custom reports along with the new AI feature to make it more easily digestable. My account team is also available to help if I need! Sometimes with platforms there can be an issue with integration, but with Live Ramp this has also gotten much easier.

**What problems is Resonate Ignite Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is helping to move away from platform-specific affinity audiences and reach the same audience across all platforms. It allows us to maximize the reach and truly prove out and base our media plan in an audience approach.

  ### 2. Frequent and Happy Resonate User!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 04, 2023

I love Resonate's UI - it's very easy to use, funcitonal, and efficient. It doesn't take much time for a new user to become aquainted with the UI wich is great.

Resonate's customer service is also incredible and very patient - I always receive prompt answers to my questions no matter how many I send!

Make the activation tab easier to use by providing descriptions next to the fields that are necessary to fill out to set up an activation.

Audience targeting, media planning, audience personas

  ### 3. Excellent platform for audience research in marketing plans

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nicole H. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2023

**What do you like best about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

The tool provides deep insight into consumer audiences, and the pairing with online behaviors + pulse surveys makes it more up-to-date and actionable than the typical syndicated tools.

**What do you dislike about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

It has a bit of a learning curve to truly understand the data and be able to pull out insights. I recommend having some power users in the organization that work closely with Resonate leads to develop best practices.

In some cases, the way that specific attributes are measured is inconsistent across similar channels and, therefore, can't be combined well. This hasn't been prohibitive to using the platform, but it does make it a bit harder to distill clear, consistent factoids.

**What problems is Resonate Ignite Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Resonate is providing deeper insight into our clients' target audiences behaviors, attitudes, and values that allows us to draw insights and bring our communications strategies to life.

  ### 4. All of the audience insight you need

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ken S. | Director, SEO & Content Operations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 14, 2023

**What do you like best about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

The Resonate platform allows me to quickly build out consumer research for analysis and activation. There are more consumer attributes than I've seen in any other platform, and the curated reports are incredibly helpful.

**What do you dislike about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

With the wealth of data and options, there is a cost.  Resonate is the leader in what they provide but for the best, you pay an appropriate price.  Test drive the platform yourself and understand its value.

**What problems is Resonate Ignite Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The audience insights provided assist me in planning marketing campaigns to refine my targeting options and to develop media creative that "resonates" with that audience.

  ### 5. Resonate is an excellent platform for consumer research

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Walker N. | Associate Account Lead, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2022

  ### 6. Great platform

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2023

**What do you like best about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

the in-depth audience knowledge and how fine tune it can be

**What do you dislike about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

not having every single audience present but no one platform has 100% everything

**What problems is Resonate Ignite Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

market understanding for specific industry-based clients, it helps to give them an understanding in their potential consumers and other ways to target them outside of the norm.

  ### 7. Robust B2C Audience Profiling & Secondary Research

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 23, 2022

**What do you like best about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

Resonate's platform is suitable for generating in-depth digitally connected consumer population/cohort profiles and segments, which provide more profound insights by modeling and projecting various audience values, behaviors, and psychographics. Their methods and approach regarding data collection and quality align with industry best practices to mitigate the impact of the downsides associated with this sort of methodology. UI is relatively easy to understand and use, as it has improved over the years, and the speed of working through the platform/generating outputs is optimal.

**What do you dislike about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

Limited to the U.S., and non-existent capabilities for B2B audiences, which should be clear going in (but it'd be nice to have someday). In the end, one should also consider the methodology and approach is surveying non-probability convenience samples from all of the top online survey panels. Thus it's essential to understand how this applies as the insights and stats may not fully reflect your target audience (especially if it is more nuanced) and shouldn't be seen as a final solution for consumer segmentation research. Also, as far as I can tell, they do not make available client-friendly survey instruments or data dictionaries (or how/if they are bucketing scales, etc.). The UX can be a little overwhelming for new users and can take time to get used to, as the home screen or dashboard has a lot going on out the door and some more crucial functions (e.g., the function to download all reports and data in bulk) are not easy to find/should be more pronounced buttons.

**What problems is Resonate Ignite Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

B2C audience profiling and deriving a deeper understanding of such audiences to fine-tune campaign targeting.

  ### 8. Best customer service around

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Joe F. | Campaign Analyst, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 20, 2022

**What do you like best about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

I love the attention to detail the account team gives us. Ryan is always beyond happy to help, and has great suggestions and ideas.

**What do you dislike about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

Our clients sometimes expect that we can find 1-1 data segments with DSP 3rd party data providers.

**What problems is Resonate Ignite Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This allows us to activate on real-time audience attributes.

  ### 9. Puts Other DMPs to Shame

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nate C. | Senior Analyst, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**What do you dislike about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

**What problems is Resonate Ignite Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Resonate solves problems stemming from a lack of insight into who we're targeting, and that's benefitting us a lot both in our RFPs and campaign optimization

  ### 10. UI is extremely straight-forward and user-friendly.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Zoey L. | Senior Analyst, Audience Insights, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

I think the user interface is great. I  appreciate how easy the taxonomy is to follow and how simple it is to move through the process of building to activation.

**What do you dislike about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

I wish that the search function for finding attributes was more accurate. Results rarely match to the descriptor searched, so it would be helpful to increase the accuracy there.

Resonate helps my team understand the demographics, motivations, and consumer preferences of relevant audiences in order to figure out how to best reach them.

  ### 18. Deep insights

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Beth S. | Creative Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2021

**What do you like best about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

Resonate is unique in it's ability to get deeper information than simple demographics. Their information provides deep insights into the audience's values, behaviors, and psychological drivers. This gives us the ability to craft creative and messaging that really speaks to the heart of a consumer's buying decisions. We use the platform for multiple applications from initial audience research, through doing contextual studies and activating against a custom audience.

**What do you dislike about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

There is limited insights for B2B related questions. But if you know your audience well enough it is still entirely possible to make behavioral and values-based inferences from what is available. This is a platform that doesn't spoon-feed you. You have to be able to think about behavior and make connections.

**What problems is Resonate Ignite Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Primarily audience profiling information to create more relevant messaging that is better targeted to a precise audience segment. Resonate has made what used to be a time-consuming process a very quick one. It also provides really great credibility to back up what we talk to clients about around their audiences.

  ### 19. Resonate Helps with Consumer Insights

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Daniella R. | Manager, Content & Experience Strategy, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 04, 2020

**What do you like best about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

The Resonate platform, though not entirely intuitive in its design, helps so much when wanting to do deep dives on specific audiences to understand consumer behaviors and habits such as media consumption like websites they visit, TV shows they watch, shopping habits. Things that go way beyond typical demographics with educational and career focused questions too.

I also love that it works fast and I can pull insights very quickly once I'm trained and know what I'm looking for.

**What do you dislike about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

Besides setting up audiences and comparing, the indexing and user experience is lacking a little. Most of the time the audiences we're looking at are very nuanced and they don't necessary index in a clear manner with the base audiences we're comparing them to. The user experience can also be a little confusing without proper training on the platform.

I don't love how busy the homescreen is either. Design wise, the platform is a little scattered for me.

**What problems is Resonate Ignite Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a digital strategist, I'm mostly interested in understanding digital platforms, sites, and social media habits of various audiences across our client roster. For different campaigns, it's also important to understand how these are influenced by external factors such as COVID, which Resonate has done an outstanding job with including this data.

  ### 20. Good data analytics

Finding prospective audiences.

  ### 22. Resonate Review 

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Publishing | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 07, 2018

**What do you like best about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

The 'ability' to get product usage of users on website sections.  This would make it easier to attract advertisers onto websites in specific sections which meet their target audiences.

**What do you dislike about Resonate Ignite Platform?**

Not user-friendly.  We needed the assistance of vendor support to get reports in a usable format.

**Recommendations to others considering Resonate Ignite Platform:**

Hire a staff just to run this data.  It can't be added onto additional responsibilities to existing staff.

**What problems is Resonate Ignite Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Very difficult to use.  Too many steps to figure out to get the information needed.  Not much can be downloaded to Excel in a usable format.
