Still one of the most powerful ad platforms around

What differentiates Meta Ads Manager from other similar products?
Meta Ads Manager empowers marketers to promote content efficiently and effectively on major Meta-owned social networks including Facebook, Instagram and Messenger along with the wider Audience Network. This means you can target an enormous audience. While some targeting capabilities have been adjusted in the last twelve months due to various legal and privacy changes, it is still an invaluable tool for high-performance advertising.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The ability to upload first-party customer data into the platform to show them new offers or to use the look-a-like feature which essentially tells Facebook to find users who have similar attributes to those who have already used your services or purchased from you. I also like the ability to split-test creative to gain deeper insights into the messaging, copy, and visuals that resonate with our prospective customers.
What do you dislike most about this product?
You need to spend a significant amount of money to gain access to a Customer Success Manager. If your budgets aren't competitive with some of the biggest companies, you'll need to rely on their Facebook Support teams - and it's pot-luck whether they have the knowledge to solve your issues. There is A LOT of data in the platform (which is great) but there are hardly any reports or tools to help you visualise those performance figures.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Make sure you don't leave the creation of your paid campaigns until the last minute. It doesn't happen often but Meta does warn that it can take several days to moderate. Take a look at Facebook's personal attributes policies to help avoid any unexpected delays. There are some strict rules on what you can and can't put in your creatives. If you want to maximise value from the platform, take the Facebook Blueprint course. Make time to explore the Meta Ads Manager platform. Although it looks complex, creating campaigns can be done relatively quickly once you know what you're doing.
Pros
- Unique Features
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
Cons
- Less Efficient Service
- Vendor Friendly Policies
- Charges for Enhancements

Powerful End-To-End Social Media Management tool.
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Meta Ads Manager from other similar products?
This was a major game-changer when I converted to it from another paid service because it has helped me to optimize the material and ensure that I am posting the most interesting, pertinent, and high-quality stuff for my clients’ followers. My clients’ traffic has increased and climbed by a whopping 100% more performance than with the prior solution, and I have witnessed engagement rise like never before. I appreciate how quickly new features are being added to Meta for business tools, and I’m looking forward to what the future holds for it.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The most effective tool and one that is most helpful to me as a social media management company, in addition to the advantages of Meta for Business and what I do enjoy about their business solutions, is the potent Creator Studio. The Facebook Creator Studio completely changed the way I handle the Facebook and Instagram pages of my clients. It allows my staff complete control over the information I share, and the insights it offers are quite useful.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Even though I like how quickly this platform is developing, my staff and clients don’t enjoy how Meta interacts with them anytime a service, product, or capacity is updated.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I like how Meta for Business makes it simpler for companies, in particular SMM agencies like us, to manage over 40 accounts at once, produce content, schedule, and publish, and have complete authority over everything while keeping it simple with a user-friendly, easy-to-use UI and UX, as usually, they are. Meta for Business not only has an extensive list of options to make it easier for organizations to make ads and to motivate them to run more ads on their platform.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Performance Enhancing
- Unique Features
Cons
- Charges for Enhancements

Facebook ad manager is a useful and helpful tool.
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Meta Ads Manager from other similar products?
It is the starting point for managing your presence on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp and is created and administered by Meta. A single location where you can track the development and popularity of your business. You can handle advertising with targeted and optimised campaigns in addition to many free services.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Facebook is the most helpful social media platform because it allows users to share their ads with others and make money through the app. It provides an excellent platform for connecting with customers and starting new businesses. It offers filters to help us focus our search results and highlight the most useful videos and articles. Utilizing Facebook, we can broadcast our business expertise live and to a sizable crowd. By utilising only the internet, it is possible to share our posts for a fair price.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Interface and operation modifications are frequent. It develops alongside the instruments it supports. I’ve had to study and understand how it functions several times over the years. Additionally, features (sometimes even helpful ones) are dropped to encourage users to invest more money in sponsored advertisements. Although reasonable, it’s not very pleasant.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Facebook is very precise when it comes to targeting particular groups and optimising as you expand for businesses. The large audience is also a useful addition, and some of the tools can help tech startups scale quickly.
Pros
- Efficient Service
- Effective Service
- Saves Time
- Respectful
