“Fewer Quality Escalations With Mediaguard, Though Improvement Needed In IVT Transparency”

5.0
Feb 26, 2026
Mediaguard is quite detailed in terms of flagging IVT. The overall discrepancy has reduced and the number of escalations regarding the quality has reduced drastically.

“Unmasking Inconsistent IVT Scores: An Unabridged Study”

3.0
Mar 21, 2025
helpful in identifying IVT, however, IVT scores don't align with other users of the same product. Does however block us from sending invalid traffic to our partners.

MediaGuard Likes & Dislikes

Like

The level of reporting that the tool provides. It help give feedback to the clients and good data to be attached to the QBRs as well.

Like

keeps us from getting into trouble with our buyers

Like

The people are just as great as the system itself.

Dislike

Not many things. 1. I would like it to cover the basics of email newsletter product but it is very tiny 2. Provide more insights into exact reason of IVT blocks - If it is datacenter traffic flag it as is so we can solve for false positives. 3. I would like to understand more granular detail without sharing the tech mechanism behind the scenes.

Dislike

IVT scores are not consistent across the same inventory when scanned by the same product. IVT scores are not consistent with any other product on the market (more of an issue of all IVT vendors not specific to this one)

Dislike

just some UI/Usability features - think like a client.
