### "Kenshoo is an astonishing Bidding Platform for different PPC platforms. "

November 22, 2017

5.0

Pros

Easy to use. Powerful and it pays it self if the PPC investment is high. Good Support but could be improved in terms of providing market insights and advertisers strategies.

Cons

High Fee and it needs a big amount of statistical information to get the most out of it. It could have a lower fee to reduce its entrance barriers.

### "Why use Skai"

July 15, 2024

5.0

Amazing experience so far, they create a solid partnership with their clients and provide insights and information to help you be successful in your Advertising Strategies.

Pros

Skai has an outstanding customer support team that is constantly advocating for the needs of our team and takes our feedback as actionable. The tools provided on the platform are beyond useful to keep track of keyword and Campaign performance, control budget and manage more than one channel in one place. We are able to complete bidding, keyword and negative creation, sitelinks and Ad Copy in one place with very easy to use API and templates. Their Dashboards are so complete, that you can create a stakeholder presentation just from that view.

Cons

They have so many features that I haven't had time to try them all.

### "Skai Review: Some Good, Some Bad"

July 10, 2024

3.0

Pros

I like being able to pull reports for all retailers in one place and make automated actions.

Cons

The automated actions often have errors and don't always run as planned.

### "The only platform you need for retail media"

March 24, 2025

5.0

I've been working with Skai for nearly a year now, and it has saved me countless hours of manual work and data collection.

Pros

The team is excellent to work with and the platform makes my life 100x easier working with retail media. I cannot recommend Skai enough as a solution to advertising automation and analytics.

Cons

Sometimes their development cycle is a bit slow, but they're constantly communicating the progress of their work and always innovating.

### "Good Tool but not a Complete Solution"

July 10, 2024

4.0

Overall, our Skai experience has been good. When the API and features work there is a time saving element and easier access to insights but I'd say that has been an inconsistent experience. We appreciate that our suggestions have been taken into consideration as the Skai teams continues developing their roadmap of opportunities to improve the product.

Pros

Skai offers a lot of features that make building campaigns typically quicker than doing it in platform. The insights, AI and dashboards are super helpful as well as automated actions and notifications.

Cons

There are several features that are continually rolling out instead of launching as a complete solution, causing us to have to bounce between Skai and native platforms. When investing in a product that is designed for efficiency, we should not be continually needing to complete certain actions in the native platforms. Feature roll outs should be in totality and not piecemeal rollouts.

### "Couldn't operate without it."

July 10, 2024

5.0

Skai has allowed me to manage 20+ brands retail media spend with minimal stress. I'm able to optimize bidding, implement budget plans, pace for shopping events, and produce actionable insights with much of it offloaded onto their machine learning algorithm. And if I ever have a problem with the software, their team is readily available for assistance and making me aware of the latest features.

Pros

Automated bidding and budgeting, SOV tracking, budget forecasting, keyword harvesting, user support

Cons

Steep learning curve, occasional bugs I need to point out

Customer Service is excellent, very responsive and knowledgeable. Our dedicated account team is top-notch. Always answers questions, updates us on new releases and are a member of our team.

So many facets to Skai that it's hard to keep up!

### "Immensely Helps Workflow and Performance"

July 15, 2024

5.0

There are a lot of API, workflow, and performance products on market right now, but I want to specifically shout out the team of PEOPLE we work with - \[sensitive content hidden\] are all absolute rock stars. Thank you!

Pros

The opportunities to automate, optimize, and track all aspects of our campaigns have immensely helped our small team, and every day I learn something new about what Skai can do for us. Looking forward to becoming a full-blown expert in no time.

Cons

There's still some feature adoption we'd like to see on our team, especially that we're working with a number of smaller retailers.

### "An absolute game changer of a product."

July 10, 2024

4.0

I think it makes the trafficking portion of my account so much easier. I use it daily when we are love with campaigns and couldn't imagine a season without this product.

Pros

I love the capabilities Skai gives me when it comes to bulk edits and creation. I also think the personas feature is top notch and sets Skai apart from the competitors.

Cons

Sometimes can be a bit slow when making huge edits or you have been on the site for a bit. But it is understandable when making huge change requests.

### "Skai has been a game changer for our agency"

July 15, 2024

5.0

Wonderful - the team we have is awesome and super helpful implementing things and answering questions.

Pros

We love the ease of having all of our clients sponsored search and social campaigns in one spot rather than having to log into multiple platforms each day.

Cons

Set up and training is a LOT - it took a long time and there are so many features its hard to remember them all.

### "Great platform for paid social"

July 10, 2024

5.0

Pros

My team uses Skai for paid social. We love the features that it offers, like AI tools and automations /alerts.

Cons

The setup for Skai did take several months to link & integrate our client accounts, and there is a bit of a steep learning curve with the platform because of all the features. But it is absolutely worth the time investment for the outcome and capabilities. It has been very beneficial already for our team.

### "I log in and use Kenshoo every day for my PPC clients and would be lost without it "

March 5, 2018

5.0

Pros

I love that I have all of my campaigns in one place within Kenshoo between Google, Bing etc. The bulk updates are super easy and quick to implement so there is not a lot of down time between updates.

Cons

Customer service is getting better with response time, that and sometimes the servers go down would be my only least favorite of the software. Not when you submit a ticket to get something fixed they are quick to respond and update the ticket.

### "Extremely Helpful (But With Glitches)"

July 19, 2024

4.0

Again, it's essential to completing the job however I frequently need to pause a task and refresh in an hour to populate data. Specifically Dashboards and AMC.

Pros

Implementing efficiencies and automated actions have saved tons of time on campaign management which can in turn be put to strategy.

Cons

SKAI has frequent issues - charts not loading, metrics not pulling in.

July 19, 2024

A great tool to help get time back in my day to push my brands forward

Skai helps automate most of the items we need on a weekly basis such as reporting, optimizing the campaigns, and leveraging AMC audiences for the team.

### "Solid tool and team, though costly"

July 10, 2024

5.0

Pros

The Skai team is great - I'd put them as top-tier from a support perspective. They are exceptionally responsive and will tailor the platform to be what you need for your business. The platform also works, although at times manual intervention is necessary.

Cons

Because we're a low-volume product, we have to use all custom solutions in order to create a bidding model that would work with our data insufficiency. Skai is the highest priced bid management platform in our evaluation of 4 platforms and we will have annual rate increases every year, regardless of the amount of spend we are/are not suing.

### "Skai Team proves success"

July 10, 2024

4.0

Pros

The team of developers and coordinators we work with make Skai extremely useful. The team is knowledgeable and willing to track down answers to every question. There are frequent updates to the capabilities which allow our integration with retail media partners to be relatively seamless.

Cons

Occasional lapses in API connection harm reporting and the inability to export as an Excel or CSV file SOV data from the Competitive Insights tab make a critical function of my job more manual, time consuming, and tedious.

### "Industry standard"

July 13, 2024

4.0

Pros

Easy to use interface and ability to use across a wide variety of retailer ppc and systems with consistent reporting and management.

Cons

Not always on the leading edge for any given retailer because of focus on user experience and making sure things work universally. Probably weakest on Amazon given so many other aggressive competitors

### "Early Review - SKAI Social"

July 11, 2024

4.0

Good so far, but still learning the ins and outs of the tool.

Pros

The added functionality to what Meta offers for viewing campaign performance, highlighting optimization opportunities, and bid multipliers.

Cons

Not having a consistent solution across all social partners, just Meta.
