Centro’s Basis is the Highest-Rated Programmatic Ad Platform on G2 Crowd for Second Straight Quarter
Centro, a provider of enterprise-class software for digital advertising, announced that it has been recognized as the leader in the G2 Crowd Demand-Side Platform (DSP) Grid report for Spring 2018. This is the second straight quarter that Basis, Centro’s programmatic ad platform, has been the best-reviewed software in this category on G2 Crowd. A leading business software review platform, G2 Crowd regularly evaluates programmatic advertising technology systems using customer reviews and feedback. Centro’s DSP, Basis, received the highest G2 Score based off user satisfaction ratings in areas such as ‘Quality of Support,’ ‘Ease of Doing Business With,’ ‘Ease of Use,’ and more.
Digital advertisers have a challenging task evaluating the right programmatic platform for their business. Many software providers offer the same features and functionality. Even a narrowed short-list of DSP choices is difficult to differentiate. By focusing on user voices, the G2 Crowd Grid report for DSPs helps clarify the factors that are most useful to media professionals and leaders operating the software. G2 Crowd rates products and vendors based on user reviews (collected through February 28, 2018) as well as data aggregated from online sources and social networks. The insights can be used to select the best DSP for various types of businesses and to find peers with similar experiences.
“Centro’s Basis has consistently been identified by users as a Leader in our Demand Side Platform (DSP) Grid. In 2018, Centro has continued its product innovation, as illustrated by its growing market presence and high levels of customer satisfaction,” said Mitch Lieberman, director of research, G2 Crowd. “Basis maintains satisfaction ratings that exceeds the category average, with the majority of users rating it four out of five stars or better overall.”
