12mass vs. Publer

The only problem with 12mass may be that it might come accross as spam. Personally, for every 100+ sincere responses that I get, I'm hit by 1 or 2 responses that ask me to stop spamming. The beauty is that if you're paying attention to your dashboard, you see when these things happen, and you can reply yourself to assure the customer that there is a real live human typing out the characters they are reading. I would advise that the person given the 12mass account to handle should be someone who can exercise caution. It is a great tool to leverage on, provided you put thought and effort into your 'canned' responses that are actually useful instead of just blatant advertising/spamming. The latter would not be optimal for you.

If you don't want to have a complicated management of different platforms, and don't want to spend too much money on a social media management platform, Publer is the right thing for you. It's easy to use, and you can modify your package as you go, meaning if you want to add or remove accounts, you can do it one by one, no global thing needed. I really needed that, so I recommend it. You can also give access to someone to use it which is very useful for my community manager.

• The smart clustering works wonder and will help you loads in managing a huge number of mentions everyday or reaching out to people who might be interested in your product. The tool cleverly groups similar tweets together even though they don't match word by word. It saves me time everyday responding to tweets with similar content. The nice thing about it is you can customize your responses so you don't sound like a machine, thus the personal touch is still there.
• 12mass is the only tool that allows you to measure your responses against stipulated metrics like engagement rate, click-through rate and so on, so you know which responses are best welcome by the audience
• The system gets smarter as you use it, which speeds up the conversations even further.

• Allows for approve/disapprove
• Analytics are easy to read
• Connecting clients accounts to the workspace without me needing to know the passwords

• Should add a Facebook private messages option.
• If my brand wasn't mentioned so much I don't think I would need to use it.
• Sometimes the site is slow.

• Unless I don't know about it there's no option to see what a post would look like in your existing feed (e.g. instagram).
• Occasionally I have had issues with things not working (but they do always get fixed).
• I think the analytics could be a little more detailed, such as what types of engagement a post got.

In addition to what I've said, maybe its personal, but I don't waste time on a new product if I find something that works. If I hear of anything better (maybe on TrustRadius!) then we'll see. But for now, if it ain't broke don't fix it. My efforts could be much better used elsewhere.

It's easy to use, after a while you'll get used to it and find it easy to navigate

helped me every time

see the tutorials on you tube. that helps

We selected 12mass because they responsed to our queries readily, and understood our concerns. The CEO (Agmon) doesn't waste time or effort, and got down to the brass tacks during our discussions. Even today, if there is an issue, the team is quick and reliable in responding

I chose Publer because it seemed to play really well with LinkedIn and that was the only channel I was planning to use it for. The main reason I use Publer and not anything else is the Recycling Feature. That is a brilliant feature and lets me keep my posting queue full without having to always be creaing new content

• Better customer service and more interactions on twitter for sure! I've seen a huge jump in the interactions since I started using the product. Also, I've established a lot of connections with influencers by asking meaningful questions.
• It definitely saves time, I don't think you can ever engage with that many people manually.
• More people are trying our products as we find a fit between their needs and our offerings through engaging with them on Twitter.

• I can on-charge the price of the subscription within my package, so I can charge it out for what I want, allowing me to make some profit
• Every one of my clients has loved using it, so they are more inclined to keep using our social media services
• Publer helps my business to look professional
