User Testimonials

Roeder Studios Inc.
  • Edgar works best if you already have enough (or plan on keep adding more) evergreen content to avoid too much repetition. This will of course be dependent on the frequency of your schedule as well as how refined your categories are.
  • Edgar works for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn currently, and it doesn't seem like they will be adding more networks in the near future.

This appliance is well suited for organizations that have a need to monitor, moderate, or log social networking site use or the use of any website. It is a very solid tool for any information security department to have at their disposal.

  • The library is done very well. It posts content on the last-in-first-out basis and it lets you add multiple variations of posts for the same piece of content.
  • It's easy to manage multiple accounts at once.
  • It's very user-friendly and it's easy to get a hang of it.

  • Discovery: It allows for easy discoveries by the compliance and cyber security departments.
  • Ethical walls: This keeps certain departments from talking to each other.
  • Very granular control. This is a big product meaning you can get very detailed with it.
  • Once it's configured and running, we hardly ever have any issues.

So far it's our favorite social media posting tool. It's an inexpensive tool that can save you a lot of time. It's easier to use and its library has great functionalities like "post only once", "expire after DATE", and if you have a schedule set up there will be no gaps in your posting

This was the only appliance of its kind that I have used. Other devices have different capabilities for web filtering such as the checkpoint firewalls, but none of them offered the overall solution that was deployed with this product at that time.

Return on Investment
Roeder Studios Inc.
  • It is important to keep a content presence in social media especially at a time where organic reach is low both in percentage and quantity. Edgar makes sure that we do and drive a lot more traffic versus our previous social media content sharing model.

  • Faster investigative work has led to increased employee efficiency when working on security investigations.
