Featured Reviews

Zain James - PeerSpot reviewer
Network Engineer at AT&T
Centralized social media planning has boosted engagement and streamlined client content workflows
The best features HootSuite offers include reporting, planning and calendaring, creating content natively in the platform, an all-in-one platform, scheduling, and analyzing. All the features bring value to my team and to my organization. Starting with scheduling, social media content in advance and publishing across different social media channels helps to reach out to a lot of customers. Analyzing soft metrics across channels to build my social media strategy is crucial. Also, with reporting, I am able to pull accurate and concise data points on my channels, and crafting content natively in the platform is valuable. HootSuite has positively impacted my organization, with increased online giving, increased online revenue, and increased sales engagement. Through this platform, my followers have grown by 32%, and I have gone from posting less than once per week to at least two to three times per week. Engagement has increased by more than 2,000% since last month and even more since the beginning of the implementation.

Facilitating data-driven decisions with powerful reporting and case management
The most valuable features are case management and reporting. The Unified-CXM Platform also helps in data aggregation and offers the capability to export data in different formats and integrate it with common CRMs like Microsoft 360 or Salesforce. Additionally, the ability to manage access to the data and ensure visibility to third parties is quite beneficial. The solution allows me to take data-driven decisions and identify gaps within the business by collecting and labeling data extensively.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The main improvement HootSuite offers is allowing my organization to run social media campaigns."
"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."
"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."
"It has a social media presence outside of the hours people are able to devote to an organization."
"The most effective feature is the automation of the routing engine."
"The interface is the most valuable feature to me."
"Customization and custom rule engines are highly valuable, enabling the creation of custom rules tailored to specific needs."
"Sprinklr provides an in-depth, comprehensive solution akin to Salesforce for social media, offering a 360-degree cover with numerous options."
"AI manages customer interactions really well, and the flow becomes easier."
"Everything is integrated in one platform."
"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 most important feature of Sprinklr is its high availability since it is a cloud solution."
 

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."
"There could be more videos on how to use Sprinklr."
"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."
"Sprinklr could be more drag-and-drop friendly."
"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."
"Sometimes I'll log into LinkedIn, and it won't show the scheduled post."
"The support system is a major drawback because there is no live chat system for immediate issue reporting, leading to delayed resolutions."
"When onboarding new users, the platform requires a lot of fine-tuning, which demands certain expertise on the customer side."
"Sprinklr should consider not charging for everything. Services such as premium support and onboarding should be part of the deal."
