Kochava Is An Amazing Tool + Amazing People

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

I like Kochava's "Fraud Detection" tools makes the price of the tool worth every penny. The attribution is great - no complaints about the staple of their product. Their customer service and client support is the best in the industry. We have had many other software vendors and none come close.

Cons:

Can be expensive and price scales up as you scale up in company growth.

Outstanding client service and cutting-edge mobile attribution platform

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: We employ holistic attribution and analysis for all our campaigns. Previously, we relied on numerous partners to measure acquisition and re-engagement, which resulted in reporting duplication.

Pros:

Keeping track of app attribution is essential to ensuring that we know our clients. It not only helps us identify attribution but also guarantees that we understand customers holistically across numerous products across the customer lifecycle. Using first touch/last touch data, we can now zero in on the "essential stuff" rather than becoming bogged down in minutiae.

Cons:

Because of the lack of adequate documentation, several functionalities are difficult to set up at all. However, the team is aware of this, and they're making progress toward fixing it. For those who run into problems or require assistance with complex capabilities, Kochava's support team is always on hand.

Outstanding MMP with really great support

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: We use Kochava as our MMP - in order to track into our backend all necessary events for acquisition and re-engagement campaigns internationally.

Pros:

Functionality - for every idea there is a solution - paired with the great support by provided by Kochava it is possible to find a way to implement it. Data availability and accuracy is outstanding High level support for important strategic questions. Open for new ideas/features which are getting prioritized and potentially put on the Kochava roadmap.

Cons:

In the beginning the sheer amount of what can be adjusted was overwhelming and wording was not always intuitively - but onboarding was great and support team answers quickly when in doubt There are still a few bugs within the software we sometimes encounter / missing functionalities, however these are professionally addressed when raised (e.g. bugs which are not fixable by customer side are taken on by the dedicated support team), for missing functionalities workarounds are proposed

NFL App + Kochava

4.0 6 years ago

Comments: It has been great to have the analytics and product teams also see the value in using a tool like Kochava. While tying spend to marketing KPI's is baseline, Kochava has also been instrumental in how we look at AMA across owned and paid efforts for the NFL App

Pros:

The post install metrics (once configured to track properly) were very helpful as well as the Smartlink building process. Nic was always very prompt and positive in handling any issues/questions I had (which were frequent from my end). I felt he cared about my product goals and always made sure I understood the different mechanics within Kochava to analyze/understand my app activity. Spoke to Cale on a couple occasions and he was just as proactive and helpful.

Cons:

I had been using Hasoffers in years past so it was a bit of a transition for me. I was used to seeing a dashboard with installs/leads logging in real-time that I can look through vs. requesting a report be sent to me.

A solid, innovative, agnostic tracking platform!

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

The most important aspect of Kochava technology is that it is solid, agnostic, flexible to integrate with external tools via custom postback calls, and always innovative.

Cons:

API connections for external reporting is something that can be improved in terms of quality of data fetching. At the moment, S2S postback integrations are better.

Valuable partnership for mobile app attribution

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

Possibility to assess network contribution from various perspectives - not only direct conversions, but also quality of the network, overlap with other networks, especially valuable traffic verifyer and fraud console.

Cons:

There is a minor downside not being able to export data directly from graphs and charts. There is an option, however, to do it with a customer query or schedule a report, but it would be very handy just to export data directly from the Analytics dashboards.

Excellent variety of audiences - and delivery!

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: My experience has been very pleasant. My audiences have performed well and the support team at Kochava has always been very attentive and helpful!

Pros:

As an advertiser, I love the variety of behavioral profiles on the Kochava platform. What first attracted me to Kochava was the ability to create audiences based on the apps they use and how often they use them, however, I was pleasantly amazed by the lengthy list of interest and behavioral targets as well.

Cons:

The one thing I could complain about is that there isn't an option to reset your password right on the log-in. It doesn't matter though because a quick e-mail to support and I was able to reset it very quickly.

Kochava's Client Success Team is AWESOME!

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: We have reaped so many benefits from Kochava's Collective platform. Building audiences is pretty easy, we were up and running with one training!

Pros:

The support that the Client Success team provides, especially Emily, is one of the main reasons Kochava is so valuable to us. She helps us uncover all of the potentials that the Collective tool has, and she always gives us ways to strategically apply her solutions.

Cons:

Nothing, it's easy to use! We just would like a little more scale!

Great Platform - Even Better Rep!

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: Seamless!

Pros:

Large amount of apps, easy to use, multiple buying options, and the support team took the whole experience to the next level! Our rep has been nothing but helpful, clear in her explanations to help us understand better as the partnership grows, and her turn around times have been outstanding. She's been a model example of a partner and made the process so easy to work together. There are areas of the platform itself that isn't the most self-explanatory but our rep quickly gets us over that hurdle!

Cons:

I know this survey is about the Audience side but it would be better to a cohesive understanding of the Measurement side as well. Our Audience rep was a big part to why we kept using the platform, she made it easy to use. However, it was a little less than perfect on the Measurement. We're giving it a full chance and testing again this quarter but from my experience and others, it hasn't been the easiest or clearest process. As we dive into more granular testing this quarter we can have more detailed feedback on both sides!

A platform that really has it together

Comments: Overall very pleased with our experience thus far. The team has been very helpful and responsive, and it's very easy to set up new users within our account.

Pros:

There are many features that our team can easily access directly within the platform.

Cons:

Scale can sometimes be an issue - an app that you think would have a lot of reach might not have that much at all.
