Efficient management of social media campaigns while noting pricing challenges

Leonid Mironov - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Cons

"The company should reduce the pricing to make it easier for companies to deploy to larger social teams."
"Last I checked, you can't schedule Twitter threads where each tweet is a reply to a previous tweet."
"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."
"There could be more videos on how to use Sprinklr."
"When onboarding new users, the platform requires a lot of fine-tuning, which demands certain expertise on the customer side."
"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."
"Sprinklr could be more drag-and-drop friendly."
"Their support team should opt for phone calls over emails to resolve issues faster."
