Featured Reviews

Babra Mishra - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Lead at Roche
Centralized planning has boosted campaign reach and simplifies managing multiple social channels
HootSuite is incredibly useful, as scheduling and connection to social accounts makes it much simpler to post and schedule content across social media platforms. There are a few issues with it being somewhat glitchy and the timeline not showing up consistently as of recently, but overall, it is a great product. The best features HootSuite offers include scheduling, posting, connection to social media channels, analytics, and a timeline feature, which has already disappeared, but I hope that it could return. HootSuite also offers a content library to load things as needed. The customer service works great, as if you are having a problem, they address it immediately. HootSuite has been truly useful and helpful in my organization because impressions have increased, there has been an increase in traffic, scheduling has become simpler, and approvals have been excellent.
Leonid Mironov - PeerSpot reviewer
Social & Digital Media Performance, Senior Manager at Majid Al Futtaim
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.

"Sprinklr provides an in-depth, comprehensive solution akin to Salesforce for social media, offering a 360-degree cover with numerous options."

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."
"I advise against using Hootsuite."
"The pricing would be great if it were free. It costs $99 per month, which is quite expensive."
"Bulk scheduling."
"Before choosing HootSuite, I evaluated the sales team, which is acceptable, but I need the legal team, the finance team, and integration about the pipeline, which is not very good."
"There are a few issues with it being somewhat glitchy and the timeline not showing up consistently as of recently, but overall, it is a great product."
"Last I checked, you can't schedule Twitter threads where each tweet is a reply to a previous tweet."
"The solution is somewhat scalable yet requires improvement in pre-existing integrations with CRM systems like Salesforce and Zendesk; the reliance on custom solutions for integrations is time-consuming and resource-intensive, which hampers scalability."
"Sprinklr should consider not charging for everything. Services such as premium support and onboarding should be part of the deal."
"Sprinklr could be more drag-and-drop friendly."
"The editability of a post is irritating right now. Editing a post already marked for publish, a special feature in their platform, is problematic."
"Their support team should opt for phone calls over emails to resolve issues faster."
"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."
"The pricing of the solution is quite high, rated at nine to ten. The cost should be reconsidered given the capabilities provided by the platform."
"There could be more videos on how to use Sprinklr."
