Unified communication has reduced global calling costs and supports organized departmental workflows
The best features that DIGITAL CX offers are making international calls, the chat functionality, and the fax capability. We still use fax as some institutions require fax documentation to be sent to us. Adding users is very easy, and the setup is straightforward. The support from RingCentral is exceptional. The international calling capabilities and low costs are outstanding. DIGITAL CX has positively impacted my organization through cost reduction. Currently, we do not assign direct lines to most users. We have very few direct lines, and the cost is much lower by simply creating extensions and only authorizing certain users to make international calls. Last year we started making the adjustment, and we reduced costs from 4,000 dollars to 2,000 dollars in just a couple of months.

Centralized social channels have transformed daily engagement and reporting workflows
Regarding how Sprout Social can be improved, these are very minor areas. Sometimes we have this metric called action rate, which reflects how fast a message has been touched in Sprout Social, whether that is the message being tagged, responded to, or closed out. Apparently, we cannot get a 100% action rate because some responses come in that are auto-replied to, and that action rate misses that. I think this is one thing that can be improved: figuring out how to count those auto-responded messages. This is a niche area. Outside of that, I do not have much advice for improvements in Sprout Social; I truly think it is a hub of value and provides a lot for us. The user interface is great; it is super friendly. For someone who has never touched it before, I knew where everything was and maneuvered through it within a week of using it. The integrations are seamless with all of our social media accounts: Reddit, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and all of that. We can also export data and PDF files, which helps us with other projects. I see very minimal improvements needed on my end; I think it is a very valuable program that we use.

Pros

"DIGITAL CX has positively impacted my organization through cost reduction; last year we started making the adjustment, and we reduced costs from 4,000 dollars to 2,000 dollars in just a couple of months."
"RingCentral has a good implementation of voice over IP and is easy to use, enabling a range of VoIP functions."
"In my experience, the best features Sprout Social offers are the ability to manage multiple campaigns."
"The only outcome I have seen in my workflow because of Sprout Social is the time, as the same thing if I do manually will cost me around maybe one day or two days, and using Sprout Social this time has shortened to maybe one hour or one and a half hour maximum."
"Sprout Social impacts my organization positively by allowing me to gauge the sentiment around different topics and helping me to stay on top of my social media growth and reporting."
"Using Sprout Social helps us post content within peak active windows; by having that content scheduled in advance, we can better reach our more active audience times, which has a direct correlation to increased engagement and impressions."
"My main use case for Sprout Social is enterprise-level social media management and analytics, and I use it for all my social media operations, from publishing, customer care, and social listening through one channel."
"Sprout Social has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to streamline the scheduling of content, get ahead of everything so we can focus on the present, and pivot when necessary based on what is happening or not happening."
"Sprout Social is the best; it is very good, actually, because I have used Intercom and Zendesk, but when I look at the different software I have used as a customer service agent, I would go for Sprout Social as it is more complete and easy to navigate."
"Sprout Social has positively impacted my organization with enhanced engagements, enhanced reach for our social posts, and better ROI for our investment in our social channels."
 

Cons

"I believe DIGITAL CX could be improved by making certain menus easier to find."
"RingCentral could improve by incorporating more advanced AI functionalities, as Zoom currently has AI integrated across their products."
"Pricing on RingCentral can be confusing due to numerous surcharges and fees, making it important to consider all fees for a true comparison with other services."
"Realistically, I find the pricing quite high."
"Sometimes, when it comes to user experience, it's really hard to tag businesses in the copy because the way they appear in the dropdown is really slow, and it doesn't always find them, even when I use the at symbol to tag them."
"As of now, I have been using Sprout Social for almost two years, but there are some glitches in the back-end; sometimes the posts are not integrated or do not come with the proper details, proper dates, or proper content."
"My advice to others considering Sprout Social is that I believe it is a good platform to use temporarily for some clients, but it does not scale well for growth."
"Maybe trying to figure out the reason why sometimes the engagement could be less when posted through Sprout Social rather than manually."
"Sprout Social can be improved because the user experience of having hundreds of channels to navigate can be quite fiddly, especially when trying to bulk post."
"Sprout Social could be improved by being able to schedule out Stories, which is a current limitation."
"There is a limitation for us with Sprout Social in publishing boosted content within LinkedIn, and we would appreciate that to be improved."
