Does anyone use Wordstream? If not, recommendations for a PPC Management Tool?

[ezclickmedia]

I'm considering using Wordstream to help me better manage my AdWords PPC accounts. I have a couple of concerns though and that is their solution doesn't manage Bing/MSN PPC. So, all I would be getting is a tool that manages PPC accounts for Google.

Can anyone recommend a good PPC Management tool that won't break my bank?

Have you considered Acquisio (acquisio.com)? I'm not sure what their pricing is like right now but when we first looked at them last year it was reasonable and looked pretty polished. They handle the major platforms as far as I know.

Two words, Marin Software.  I use the enterprise version so I am not positive what the differences are with the self serve, professional versions.  I do know that they charge 5% of ad spend ($500 min)/month which shouldn't break the bank.  They have some really powerful technology and their customer service/technical support is simply amazing.  I would say it's worth a free demo.

We used them for about 3 months - total fail. Not just in performance, but also customer satisfaction. They were pretty misleading about both what they could accomplish and how much they would charge us. Things were not as they seemed.

I also tried Adobe (former Efficient Frontier) bid management tool : this service could be interesting when time saving is the main objective, but not ultra-performance (in this case I don't think IA and tools are more relevant than human made follow and optimization).

Marin is the best performing platform, their bidding tool can be fine tuned in so many ways.  acquisio creates great reports, but lacks in Marin's bidding tools.  Also mongoose metrics is great at tracking inbound phone calls back to the keyword that generated the call.....which integrates with Marin, not acquisio.   Marin integrates with Adword, adcenter, Facebook & mongoose...so you can manage everything in one location.
