What differentiates Mediaocean from other similar products?

Nothing. It is SBMS with an annoying interface.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Absolutely nothing.

What do you dislike most about this product?

It is unreliable. Slow. Annoying to use. Was not designed for people who do media planning or buying. It slows down productivity.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Just use Excel. It will save you time and a headache. SBMS is better, easier to use and does not consistently freezes when you try to do anything. Mediaocean is not a final product, it is not even in beta, and barely would qualify as an alpha build.

Cons

Inhibits Innovation
Slower Product Innovation
Less Reliable
