What differentiates Mediaocean from other similar products?

Mediaocean’s Prisma is the industry’s go-to backbone for managing the entire ad lifecycle--from planning and buying to reporting and finance—all in one place. Its neutral integrations with DSPs, ad servers, and verification tools make it uniquely flexible, while automation at scale saves global agencies time and money. The interface can feel dated, but for enterprise advertisers, Prisma is the trusted standard.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The best thing about Prisma is its all-in-one power—you can plan, buy, track, and reconcile across every channel without juggling a dozen platforms. It’s the single source of truth that keeps massive ad operations running smoothly.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most about Prisma is its clunky, outdated interface and steep learning curve. It’s powerful, but not exactly user-friendly.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Great for large, complex ad operations. Just be ready to train your team and live with a clunky UI.

Reliable
