We've been using AdJuggler on our site, The Web Developer's
Journal, for quite a while, and are generally satisfied. The
only drawback we can't get around is lack of support for
"rich" media. My take is that AJ is the best one out there
in its price range.
I wrote a review of AdJuggler (a bit old but still generally
accurate), at:
http://WebDevelopersJournal.com/software/adjuggle.html
and a comparison of Ad server packages, at:
http://www.webreference.com/content/adsoft/
Also see:
http://WebDevelopersJournal.com/articles/ad_management.html
One issue that shouldn't be overlooked is compatibility with
your server. It's a big technical project to get any of
these ad server packages installed correctly, and each one
has certain versions of Unix that they WILL NOT work with.
We had to pass on Accipiter because it would not work on
BSDi Unix. Now we've switched over to Apache, and guess
what! RealMedia's Open Ad Stream will not work on our server
(actually, it will work, but only by using a special mode
which precludes using most of the cool features).
