Prisma Likes & Dislikes

Like

- User-friendly - Accessible across all browsers - Efficient/well organized

Like

Once you get the hang of it, it helps with organization, it is straight forward, and the system saves time by auto allocating unused budgets to future months.

Like

1) Mediaocean Prisma's recent revamp of their UI experience has worked out great for me. I enjoy the ability to be able to favorite a campaign and see only the ones I'm working on and also how organized everything seems to be from a visual standpoint. 2) Increased speed. The platform has become easier to navigate because it's gotten faster. I can be quicker with my billing entries and not have to worry about it freezing up. 3) Streamlined vendor communication: It's been very easy to send IOs out to vendors. I also have all the tools to customize the terms and conditions to tailor to the specific vendor.

Dislike

- Only dislike is when adjusting IOs, sometimes other cells are changed or affected when they shouldn't be. -N/A -N/A

Dislike

Takes a while to understand, super slow when clicking into the different sections, too many tabs would be better if one button instead of having to go into each section, order, traffic, etc.

Dislike

1.) Mediaocean's Daisy software is still outdated. Would like to see this get revamped and align with the look and feel of Prisma. 2.) Although navigating the platform in general has gotten quicker, it still does take a little bit longer sometimes to generate IOs and approving the buys. 3.) There are still a few glitches for the lack of better words in Prisma. For example, when I'm in the 'Actualization view' sometimes the numbers for the selected month is not from that month. I'd need to select and click on another month and then back to the month I'm concerned with the 'refresh' the numbers to be the right numbers.
