Efficient management of social media campaigns while noting pricing challenges
If you are into social media marketing or any other digital media, then you should have knowledge of HootSuite because it is the industry standard that has been helping industry professionals. It makes life easier and somehow lowers stress, which is why I would recommend HootSuite It saves me…
Michelle Epperson - PeerSpot reviewer

Meeting multiple objectives with comprehensive scheduling and content ideas
Sometimes I'll log into LinkedIn, and it won't show the scheduled post. I have to go through Sprinklr and double-check. It would be nice if it showed everything I have scheduled also in LinkedIn alone. Sometimes, if I try to use emojis, I'll click on one or search for one, but I can't scroll through them or they don't pop up.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has a social media presence outside of the hours people are able to devote to an organization."
"HootSuite has an AI engine to suggest trending topics related to our business. The engine works really well and comes up with excellent suggestions for more posts."
"Hootsuite feels like an all-in-one tool; I can publish content on Hootsuite and then answer comments, which is what I do for my customers."
"If you are into social media marketing or any other digital media, then you should have knowledge of HootSuite because it is the industry standard that has been helping industry professionals."
"The main improvement HootSuite offers is allowing my organization to run social media campaigns."
"Customization and custom rule engines are highly valuable, enabling the creation of custom rules tailored to specific needs."
"Being able to use moving images, like GIFs, is important, and multi-language support is crucial, as it allows content in multiple languages and increases engagement and impressions significantly."
"The interface is the most valuable feature to me."
"The most effective feature is the automation of the routing engine."
"The most important feature of Sprinklr is its high availability since it is a cloud solution."
"The most valuable features are case management and reporting."
"Sprinklr provides an in-depth, comprehensive solution akin to Salesforce for social media, offering a 360-degree cover with numerous options."
"Everything is integrated in one platform."
 

Cons

"Last I checked, you can't schedule Twitter threads where each tweet is a reply to a previous tweet."
"The company should reduce the pricing to make it easier for companies to deploy to larger social teams."
"The support system is a major drawback because there is no live chat system for immediate issue reporting, leading to delayed resolutions."
"If I compare Sprinklr with NICE, people still opt for NICE. This is because they are not as confident with the use cases of Sprinklr, even though Sprinklr is trying to improve."
"Sometimes I'll log into LinkedIn, and it won't show the scheduled post."
"The interaction and integration with our CRM should be improved, especially to ensure security with on-premises solutions and to be suitable for banking environments."
"When onboarding new users, the platform requires a lot of fine-tuning, which demands certain expertise on the customer side."
"There could be more videos on how to use Sprinklr."
"Sprinklr should consider not charging for everything. Services such as premium support and onboarding should be part of the deal."
"Their support team should opt for phone calls over emails to resolve issues faster."
