Likelihood to Recommend For all general Direct Message management, Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud is great. It keeps conversations organized and allows team members to do all their work in one platform. For public facing social management, there may be some gaps when you are not the top level poster of content, and sometimes gaining context in lengthy exchanges can be easier read on native platforms.
Read full review If you need an excellent mechanism to collect and publish customer reviews, Yotpo is the best that we have found. We love the feature set that is provided, even if you are using the basic membership to get started. Where it is really good is the collection and managing of reviews. The email request setup is simple and easy to use. The publishing and commenting on reviews can be managed easily in the backend. It syncs up nicely to our website providers, and we have used it on a few different platforms without any problems. The pricing on it is also very competitive when you price it out against so of the other big-name players in the space.
Read full review Pros Publishing - takes a bit of time, but publishing all content together makes planning and execution much more efective Community - really simple one board collecting of all our social messages makes replying simple dashboards - widgets and customisation allow for multiple dashboards tracking various campaigns and goals Read full review Yotpo alerts us by email when a new review comes in which encourages us to log in and check the Yopto dashboard to see if anything needs tending to. With one click we can publish a Yotpo review to our website, than another click and it pushes the review to Twitter, and Facebook. Even the free version has lots of useful features. Read full review Cons We would like to add more public profiles at no cost In the approval workflow, it would be great if one person could serve 2 roles such as both Content Creator and Publisher. When our Publisher changes the posting date, it has to run through the approval workflow all over again. This is unnecessary as she is merely changing the date. Read full review The customer photos are too small. We'd like to be able to display the photos that customers upload as much larger. They're almost thumbnails. Yotpo widgets slow down site speed so we can't use any of them. The only one we can use is the reviews page. Read full review Likelihood to Renew the balance between quality and price si perfectperfect for agency that have many client to manage, because it helps us to save time (we don't have to plan content from every single account, only one click to look at different community and moderate...)it also help the team works: senior can review content direcly from emplifi; labeling DM/comments as done help us to track where a collegue stop and we have to startIt makes the content approval from clients very easy
Read full review Our organization is very lean and agile and does not have the resources to staff either a Marketing or Customer Service Team member on reviews full time. We know and understand the value of such an individual but are unable to staff a position at this point. This reduces the value of the tool in our eyes.
Read full review Usability In common features, using daily, it's pretty easy to understand what to do. But when it's about creating dashboards and analysing metrics, not everything it's easy to understand.
Read full review I think the platform back end could be easier and more intuitive, but we are able to get around and accomplish what we need to with minimal training or guidance. Specifically, we had complications with trying to do something as simple as sending ourselves test emails and adjusting image sizes pulling from our product catalog so that the review request email images would be clear.
Read full review Support Rating We have a dedicated Customer Success manager, and that is very helpful. Anytime we have questions or need support, they are always there to answer. If thety do not know the solution, they always go around the bend to find one and provide it to us. They are always very kind.
Read full review Live chat is always ready to help. Even when they do not have an immediate answer, we hear back from them within a reasonable time frame. Communication from the account manager is great as well. The team has been very supportive in listening to new ideas, needs, and updates based on real-time on-site data.
Read full review Online Training The online training was fine but, in the end, the best way to learn any product is by actually using it.
Read full review Implementation Rating The platform is so easy to understand that no "expensive consulting firm" is necessary to implement it!
Read full review Alternatives Considered Not only have we used other tools, we reviewed a few tools before deciding to move forward with Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud. Cost was definitely a factor, but also account management and responsiveness. The fact TikTok was available for community management was a key consideration at the time we decided to go with Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud as well. Overall, it was the comprehensiveness of the tool vs. competitors that led us to choose Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud. Its AI and unified management capabilities have been great for our needs.
Read full review I have only used one other service prior to Yotpo (I don't remember what it was) and Yotpo outperforms them. Yotpo is really intuitive and easy to navigate/install from a Shopify user perspective. When Pixel union releases their customer review service I may try it out since they are my theme provider and it may integrate more seamlessly.
Read full review Return on Investment We are still new to the product, but we anticipate a very positive ROI in regard to our sponsored content and being able to accurately report to clients. We also anticipate a very positive ROI internally as we will be much more equipped with data, allowing us to focus resources on content that is performing well. Read full review We got complaints about not having enough pictures of projects. Yotpo completely negated that complaint with the UGC implementation on our website. If my memory serves me right, 98% of our customers directly interact with some Yotpo widget on our site. That's a lot. Read full review ScreenShots Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud Screenshots
