Featured Reviews

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.
Mirella Karpiesiuk - PeerSpot reviewer
Social Engagement Manager at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are case management and reporting."
"The Unified-CXM Platform has enabled cost savings on resources by aggregating data and sorting messages before reaching an agent, reducing the workload and optimizing headcount."
"The most important feature of Sprinklr is its high availability since it is a cloud solution."
"The most effective feature is the automation of the routing engine."
"Customization and custom rule engines are highly valuable, enabling the creation of custom rules tailored to specific needs."
"It is easy to invite advocates in to help with community management, plus there are tons of integrations with other customer support products."
"The metrics I track focus on engagement and impressions, and I've achieved high impression rates with Sprinklr, probably around six percent, because it's easier for participants to share and the platform allows users to share posts with unique URLs, enabling coworkers to make posts of their own while appearing organic and thus increasing impression and view rates."
"The scheduling feature is, of course, key just so I can do it in one sitting, plan out the month, and be ahead of everything."
"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."
"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."
"The best features Sprout Social offers are the ability to post across all platforms from one place, the ability to review the performance of this post in one place, and also the ability to combine all the analytics from all these platforms into one report."
"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 has positively impacted my organization by providing me with reporting capabilities and allowing me to assess how my posts are performing."
"In my experience, the best features Sprout Social offers are the ability to manage multiple campaigns."
"Sprout Social has centralized all of our social media communications, saved us a lot of time, and allowed the team to be more organized and on top of what is going on in social."
"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."
 

Cons

"The editability of a post is irritating right now. Editing a post already marked for publish, a special feature in their platform, is problematic."
"Sprinklr should consider not charging for everything. Services such as premium support and onboarding should be part of the deal."
"When onboarding new users, the platform requires a lot of fine-tuning, which demands certain expertise on the customer side."
"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 could be more drag-and-drop friendly."
"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."
"Sometimes I'll log into LinkedIn, and it won't show the scheduled post."
"Maybe trying to figure out the reason why sometimes the engagement could be less when posted through Sprout Social rather than manually."
"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."
"It is not perfect. Sometimes its information or its syncing to platforms is clunky, so you end up having slightly wrong information or data."
"If you do not already have existing solutions and you are using the platform to help schedule out marketing campaigns, it will not be that helpful."
"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."
"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."
"There is a limitation for us with Sprout Social in publishing boosted content within LinkedIn, and we would appreciate that to be improved."
"Realistically, I find the pricing quite high."
