Adobe Social vs. ScheduGram

I used Adobe Social when I use to have my own business on social media. After many months I was having no success in finding the correct clients for my products. Using Adobe Social I was able to market and discover different ways of searching for the correct clients and later on helped my business grow.

When we have to maintain a consistent social media presence where posts are up on time, even if the day's community manager is unavailable, ScheduGram has made it efficient with the plans that we can create and schedule ahead. Our posts are also made available on Twitter, and we have to use other apps, or if you are not into posting across multiple platforms this is not for you.

• Adobe Social lacks strengths, as I believe Adobe themselves have acknowledged, given their decision not to continue support or development. But if I need to list three strengths, the first would be it can publish to some social media platforms with a success rate of over 50%. If that's a strength.
• It has workflow processes, but they are over-complicated and poorly designed.
• It has some basic analytics, but Adobe consultants usually recommend referring to Adobe Analytics instead. Which is great if you actually use Adobe Analytics.

• Saves us time with bulk posting.
• Allows us to schedule Instagram stories.
• User interface is user friendly.

• It would be great if Adobe scheduled video uploads for Twitter.
• A time change in a social post automatically puts the post back to Level 1 of approvals. It can be a big hassle to have to start the process over for such a small change.
• Adobe uses a different algorithm to measure engagement our company does. It would be great to upload your own algorithm into Adobe.

• I'd love to see more metrics available.

I wasn't in charge of making the actual management decision, but I would absolutely renew Adobe Social. As I mentioned, it provides strong and in-depth analytics and listening tools. The reports that it generates are very thorough and easy to read. I loved the platform and would recommend it to anyone

The reason why I give this rating is that the overall platform is simple to use. You don't need to be tech-savvy or have a vast understanding of how to work a marketing tool. It is very simple to use compared to different platforms and you learn a lot of different ways to build your business.

The reason why I give this a 9 out of 10 in terms of support is because of the mobile app functionality. I have had many issues in terms of logging in and also loading pages. The app overall is easy to use but at what cost? Other than that it is great and I still enjoy Adobe Social.

We are always on the lookout for applications that make it easier to use social media and ensure a consistent presence. ScheduGram definitely fulfills that need for us, as it allows for content planning, overview, and most importantly scheduling it. Changing content plans is also very convenient across Instagram and Facebook. It serves our purpose for these two apps very well.

Training was long and a little confusing. While a number of features carried over, they were still covered in this elongated training. It would have been nice to have training tailored to experience level with the product.

The implementation was done during our POC. We had a very mixed experience here, and have had some issues arise since based on the way the tool was implemented. An Adobe employee went ahead and made a change to our account that was unauthorized (helpful for our implementation) which caused issues in on boarding another team who needed the same change, but could not get it done without costly Adobe certification

Hootsuite Enterprise is superior in many ways, but the biggest factor is probably that it is constantly evolving and adding new features, working directly with social media companies ahead of new releases. Adobe seems to have stopped developing their product.

We chose ScheduGram over PreviewApp because it has a much better user interface and much more robust features for similar pricing.

• Although we chose Adobe Social believing it could provide ROI metrics we could not get elsewhere, that turned out not to be the case. Site Catalyst can give us everything we need without Adobe Social
• Adobe Social did not create greater efficiencies and speed up our activity within social media. In fact, it has done the oppposite. It is very cumbersome with little clear benefit.

• Without ScheduGram, we would not have been able to continue using Instagram, a key platform for our demographic.
