Pacvue is an enterprise platform for brands, sellers, and agencies to manage their eCommerce advertising by combining holistic performance data with recommended actions

Our data insights show that despite the peak panic buying tailwind, Q2 saw CPCs return to pre-covid levels in most categories on Amazon, said Melissa Burdick, co-founder and president of Pacvue.

SEATTLE (PRWEB)
August 04, 2020

Pacvue, an enterprise platform for brands, sellers, and agencies to manage their eCommerce advertising by combining holistic performance data with recommended actions, today released Q2 2020 CPC Report: Amazon Ad Growth Through an Uncertain Market. For the full report, including detailed methodologies and raw data, visit https://www.pacvue.com/q2-2020-cpc-report.

Key findings from the report include:

• Amazon cost-per-clicks (CPCs) dropped in April and May, mainly due to the pandemic, and Amazon delayed shipment on non-essential categories.
• Amazon CPCs rebounded in June to near pre-COVID-19 levels.
• Out-of-stock products, shipping delays, and other complexities caused budget uncertainty.
• Sponsored Brand return on ad spend (ROAS) overtook Sponsored Product ROAS for the first time.

“We created this report as a guide for brands looking to better understand advertising with Amazon during a very uncertain period,” said Melissa Burdick, co-founder and president of Pacvue. “Our data insights show that despite the peak panic buying tailwind, Q2 saw CPCs return to pre-covid levels in most categories on Amazon. However, due to underspent budget with out of stock issues, winding down brick and mortar advertising, etc., we expect to see a surge in competitiveness in the remainder of the year.”

The data in the report is sourced from Pacvue’s proprietary Amazon keyword tracking database, which tracks ASINs from small, mid-sized, and large advertisers and aggregates data across every major product category. The Q2 2020 CPC Report also includes month-to-month data to better display the effects of COVID-19 on Amazon advertising.

With COVID-19 still affecting US spending habits and the overall economy, Q2 of 2020 saw fluctuations in the costs and strategies for advertising on Amazon. Despite lower CPCs and budget uncertainties, ROAS and advertising budgets increased significantly.

The overall drop in CPCs in Q2 can be clearly seen in April and May compared to the spike caused by early COVID panic-buying. This is likely due to COVID contraction as Amazon focused on essential verticals and consumers limited purchases of luxury items. Additionally, the surge of online shopping traffic, combined with the uncertainty of advertisers’ budget, led to cheaper bids. However, June saw a rebound in CPCs as online shopping remained steady and competitiveness across most categories increased.

Despite budget uncertainties, average daily spending increased for both Sponsored Brand ads and Sponsored Product ads.

In Q2 and continuing into Q3, manufacturer shortages in availability of consumer packaged goods (CPG) have led to increased noise in daily pacing. Thanks to improved ROAS, this uncertainty did not see an overall decrease in ad budgets for most industries and instead saw advertisers getting more strategic with their ad spend. For categories which were dark due to lack of inventory, back half budgets are looking robust. This could lead to CPCs increasing in Q3 and Q4 as companies work with inflated budgets.

Despite Amazon’s push for advertisers to adopt new offerings such as Sponsored Display and enhanced Sponsored Brand, these changes have not shown a significant impact on ad strategies. Advertisers with robust foundations continue to focus on the fundamentals of Sponsored Products and static Sponsored Brands and using these new offerings as enhancements. Products such as Sponsored Brand Video are showing good efficiencies and in general these new enhancements are welcome additions to well rounded advertising campaigns..

A closer look at the data insights:

Click-through rate for Sponsored Product ads and Sponsored Brand ads converge in Q2 2020.

• Q2 brings the big gap in CTR for Sponsored Product ads and Sponsored Brand ads to a bare minimum. CTR for Sponsored Brand ads fell from 0.58% in Q1 2020 to 0.44% in Q2 2020. For Sponsored Product ads the change was the opposite – CTR rose from 0.35% to 0.41%.
• CTR for Sponsored Product ads are back at the same level they were a year ago in Q2 2019, and even higher than they were pre-COVID-19 in Q4 2019. Meanwhile, there is a downward trend for CTR for Sponsored Brand ads.
• The average CTR for Sponsored Brand ads over the last five quarters is, however, still significantly higher than for Sponsored Products. The average CTR for Sponsored Brand ads was 0.53% compared to 0.38% for Sponsored Product ads.

ROAS on Sponsored Brand ads surpassed ROAS on Sponsored Product ads.

• With a decline in CPC for both Sponsored Product ads and Sponsored Brand ads, there was an increase in ROAS. Sponsored Brand ads have the biggest quarter-over- quarter growth of 22%, while Sponsored Product ads grew 8% in the same period.
• However, Sponsored Brand ads are the only ones that have positive YoY growth in ROAS in both Q1 2020 (15%) and Q2 2020 (32%). This is also the first time in the last year that ROAS on Sponsored Brand ads surpassed ROAS on Sponsored Product ads.

CPA for Sponsored Brands decreased by almost 25%.

• Sponsored Product ads still have the most cost-efficient performance, but only marginally compared to other quarters. In Q2 2020, CPA for Sponsored Brand ads was $6.91 and $6.45 for Sponsored Product ads.
• For Sponsored Brand ads this is a particularly big change in CPA. In Q1 we saw a CPA of $8.17, which means CPA decreased by almost 25%.

Conversion for Sponsored Brand ads is still better than for Sponsored Product ads.

• The conversion rate for Sponsored Brand ads is higher than for Sponsored Product ads for the second consecutive quarter. The difference between the two increased this quarter despite the fact that both Sponsored Product ads and Sponsored Brand ads decreased QoQ by 11% and 2% respectively.
• When it comes to yearly growth, the situation is quite different. Compared to the same time last year, conversion rates for Sponsored Brand ads grew 33%, while the conversion rate for Sponsored Product ads decreased by 7%.

Average daily spend is increasing for both Sponsored Brand ads and Sponsored Product ads.

• Average daily spend has increased both QoQ and YoY for both ad types. On a quarterly basis, both Sponsored Brand ads and Sponsored Product ads grew by 13% and 14% respectively.
• In terms of a yearly change, daily spend on Sponsored Brand ads has increased dramatically – 78% – compared to 23% for daily spend on Sponsored Product ads.

Lepide & Sherpa Software

Together, we will be able to provide all of the capabilities that enterprises will need to get more visibility over exactly what’s happening with their sensitive data.

AUSTIN, Texas and PITTSBURGH (PRWEB)
August 03, 2020

Lepide and Sherpa Software are pleased to announce that they have entered into a global strategic partnership, combining Lepide’s disruptive, scalable, enterprise Data Security Platform with Sherpa’s award-winning data governance, classification, remediation and e-discovery platform.

With increasing overlap between data security and governance initiatives, Lepide recognized the need to incorporate powerful and accurate content scanning and e-discovery into their suite of security solutions. Sherpa brings the ability to quickly identify, inventory, and remediate data that may pose a GDPR or CCPA regulatory risk when it is contained in disparate data silos such as email, Windows workstations, file shares and more.

Lepide brings to the partnership the ability to identify who has access to this regulated data and whether user behavior may pose a risk to your compliance standing and to the security of your data in general. Through a combination of threshold and real-time alerting, Lepide can inform users when their permissions are escalating and enable you to reverse them so that you can maintain a Zero Trust policy with your most sensitive data. On top of that, AI-backed anomaly spotting technology establishes a baseline for “normal” user behavior and will sound the alarm when activities deviate from this norm.

Combining Sherpa and Lepide within your infrastructure will enable you to locate and classify your most sensitive data as per compliance regulations, ensure only the right people have access to it and that user activity is in line with compliance and security policies.

“The Sherpa partnership really excites us,” said Aidan Simister, CEO of Lepide. “Lepide and Sherpa ultimately have the same goal; namely, being a valuable partner to enterprises in helping them to manage and secure their sensitive data. Together, we will be able to provide all of the capabilities that enterprises will need to get more visibility over exactly what’s happening with their sensitive data.”

“Both companies have the same mission, to protect sensitive data to reduce risk and meet compliance requirements,” said Kevin Ogrodnik, CEO of Sherpa Software. “With Lepide, now we can also monitor for and remediate risky user behavior that may expose that data.”

If you would like to see how Lepide and Sherpa combine to address data security and governance initiatives, register for our global, two-part webinar series on “A Security Debate Zero Trust or Trust but Verify”. In these webinars, Lepide and Sherpa will show you how you can combine their solutions to meet all your security and compliance requirements.

In a single customizable view, see which processes are complete or remain pending in the backup window. Select the assets, custom time frame, and specific processes to monitor.

This is a one-stop-shop. It keeps me from logging into multiple tools and places to troubleshoot backup failures. I can click into the detail for the timeframe selected and quickly gather the information I need to solve my problems. That’s a real time saver.

MALVERN, Pa. (PRWEB)
August 03, 2020

Galileo is pleased to announce the release of its monitoring agent for IBM Spectrum Protect™. As the leading provider of scalable data protection for physical file servers, applications, and virtual environments, IBM Spectrum Protect is a popular choice among many organizations. It allows them to manage billions of objects per backup server, migrate data to diverse locations, and reduce backup infrastructure costs.

Today, Galileo is expanding the capabilities of its comprehensive infrastructure performance monitoring solution, Galileo Performance Explorer, by adding the IBM Spectrum Protect agent. Users can now monitor their data protection application in collaboration with cloud, storage, database, server, and SAN environment metrics.

Currently, IT administrators use a mix of tools to perform the tedious process of reporting and trending their backup infrastructure. This often causes inaccuracies in reporting or delays in troubleshooting that add unnecessary risk to an organization’s most critical infrastructure assets. Moreover, monitoring tools available today fail to add value beyond visual presentation.

Galileo solves this challenge by providing instant visibility into the condition of Spectrum Protect environments, as well as detailed analytics to easily and quickly pinpoint where any issues may lie. Backed by decades of experience with Spectrum Protect, Galileo provides insight beyond what is readily available in Operations Center (OC) or command-line queries.

Rich Davis, a Senior Developer at Galileo, understands the challenges that IT teams face and used that knowledge as the driver in developing Galileo’s unrivaled monitoring agent. “Backups are tough, and they always have been,” says Davis. “When you have a large amount of backups processing, say 1,500, how do you know for sure that you’re protected? Our goal was to answer that question, and I think we nailed it.” He goes on to say, “In a single view you can instantly see every major Spectrum Protect process and be confident you’re protected, or you can zero in on what needs to be fixed if you’re not.”

A longtime Galileo customer, who is responsible for a large Spectrum Protect infrastructure at a government agency agrees. “This is a one-stop-shop. It keeps me from logging into multiple tools and places to troubleshoot backup failures. I can click into the detail for the timeframe selected and quickly gather the information I need to solve my problems. That’s a real time saver.”

Are You Protected? Find Out in Under 2 Minutes

Galileo’s Spectrum Protect monitoring and reporting agent provides simple, yet powerful metrics to determine the health and protection status of your Spectrum Protect environment in a single pane of glass. Galileo’s three-pronged approach delivers total data protection health through:

• 
  Comprehensive Operational Performance Statistics for end-to-end troubleshooting and in-depth historical analysis
• Automated Daily Reports delivered to your inbox so you can see the health and protection status of your Spectrum Protect environment conveniently and quickly
• Detailed Infrastructure Trending to predict and prevent costly disruptions

To learn more about Galileo’s performance monitoring for IBM Spectrum Protect environments, join a live demonstration at 11:30 AM EST on August 6, or connect with the Galileo team for a private demo customized for your business today.

About Galileo Performance Explorer:

Since 2001, Galileo has enabled organizations to manage the growing complexity within their infrastructures and develop realistic roadmaps for growth and transformation. Intuitive multi-vendor monitoring and reporting allow IT teams to see what is relevant, increase speed to resolution, anticipate and adapt to system usage needs, and lower operational costs.

Implementing VaultCore is a smart decision for any IT administrator who is looking for a security solution to protect critical data, now and for the future.

FREDERICK, Md. (PRWEB)
July 30, 2020

Fornetix LLC and D360 Technologies jointly announced today that they formed a partnership to bring Fornetix VaultCore™ to the Japan market. Fornetix VaultCore is an advanced encryption key management solution that automates the full key lifecycle across the entire enterprise from infrastructure to end-point, allowing organizations to easily manage encryption keys and secure critical data assets. This partnership will be focused on introducing the VaultCore solution to the medical, smart IoT, telecommunications, and automotive industry sectors.

The COVID-19 crisis has created a significant need for telework and the distributed networks to support it. This has enabled an increase in the attack surface area for bad actors uncovering major vulnerabilities throughout the enterprise. According to a recent Gartner report, only 18% of IT leaders believe their businesses are highly prepared for the impact of coronavirus. It is clear that this requires the immediate establishment of an encryption security solution that protects data seamlessly wherever it resides, and enforces consistent security policies throughout the data life cycle.

“We are excited to bring Fornetix VaultCore to the Japan market and help companies protect themselves from the increase of vulnerabilities due to the current pandemic. Implementing VaultCore is a smart decision for any IT administrator who is looking for a security solution to protect critical data, now and for the future.” – Mark Gilroy, CEO, Fornetix, Inc.

VaultCore provides simple scale encryption management for public, private, on-premise, virtual, and cloud environments. VaultCore’s detailed policy tools, user access controls, and robust automation make it easy to manage the entire encryption key lifecycle across the enterprise. VaultCore is the only encryption management solution capable of providing, processing and supporting hundreds of millions of keys for large distributed environments with minimal performance impact. Easy integration with KMIP and non-KMIP using Fornetix’s Orchestration Gateway™ allows companies to leverage their existing technology investments. The Fornetix VaultCore appliance is a FIPS 140-2 Level 2 validated solution (with NIST Certification pending) that employs an HSM for a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 root of trust.
