Featured Reviews

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.

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 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."
"Everything is integrated in one platform."
"From a cost perspective, it requires replacing, but in terms of business benefits, Sprinklr provides a very good customer experience, which is the major benefit for us."
"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 scheduling feature is, of course, key just so I can do it in one sitting, plan out the month, and be ahead of everything."
"The most valuable features are case management and reporting."
"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 impacts my organization positively by allowing me to gauge the sentiment around different topics and helping me to stay on top of my social media growth and reporting."
"I have definitely seen a return on investment with Sprout Social, as it has led to time savings, improved efficiency, and financial returns since not everything had to be manually posted."
"We would not be able to do it without Sprout Social, and it is very easy to use; the user interface is very friendly and intuitive."
"Sprout Social has positively impacted our organization by aligning with our team goals and being very efficient at scheduling, publishing, and pulling analytics."
"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."
"Sprout Social has saved us a lot of time, provided the convenience of a single login to multiple socials, and requires less time for training, making it very easy to use and start using it."
"In my experience, the best features Sprout Social offers are the ability to manage multiple campaigns."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The support system is a major drawback because there is no live chat system for immediate issue reporting, leading to delayed resolutions."
"Depending on someone's needs, based on the price and functionality, I would lean towards no recommendation."
"When onboarding new users, the platform requires a lot of fine-tuning, which demands certain expertise on the customer side."
"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."
"There is a limitation for us with Sprout Social in publishing boosted content within LinkedIn, and we would appreciate that to be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Sometimes, when it comes to user experience, it's really hard to tag businesses in the copy because the way they appear in the dropdown is really slow, and it doesn't always find them, even when I use the at symbol to tag them."
"I know Sprout Social is expensive; it is on the higher side."
"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."
"Maybe trying to figure out the reason why sometimes the engagement could be less when posted through Sprout Social rather than manually."
"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."
