Likelihood to Recommend Airship (formerly Urban Airship)
For Vodafone, the major advantage is to use customized push notifications for different user groups, and this enables us to use segment and use target based notifications for a given sample of users. We believe we have not fully explored or used the potential of Airship for other use cases yet
Read full review It is my absolute recommendation for anyone at a multi-location, brick-and-mortar business that is consumer-focused. I haven't demoed any other tools that could come close to meeting the needs that I would have either at my previous agency role for clients or currently at my client-side job. However, not all companies that have a footprint/distribution in multiple areas are suited; I had a brewery client with a presence in multiple states (their products were in stores and salespeople were staffed in the area), but given MomentFeed's basis in listing data around physical locations, there wasn't a real way that the product could have accommodated. Cases like that are a square peg/round hole situation.

Simple setup of push messages + automations Most important push + reporting features available Friendly and individual customer support Regular launch + optimization of features High customer engagement over Airship Read full review Central platform format - great for multi-unit brands. Versatile when using for multiple pages and corresponding channels. Read full review Cons Airship (formerly Urban Airship)
Make it easier to manager an account with multiple apps Data in PA tool often loads very slowly Streamline journey steps Read full review More reporting options. There is a wealth of data able to be reported around just one Facebook page; now imagine the type of data you have available to analyze across dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of local pages. They already do a good job of showing some valuable insights (and providing every other metric they can via spreadsheet exports) but I think there's pretty much an endless array of possibilities beyond what they have. I suppose that's a slippery slope though. Some minor UI/UX issues. Some fields operate weirdly, some buttons may act funky, or the platform may not remember your location group selection when you move from one part of the product to another. Easily overlooked, however. Social media publishing is sometimes delayed and may go out a handful of minutes after you intended. Not a problem in most cases, but I'd schedule natively or with another tool if you're depending on a post to go out at an exact moment. Read full review Usability Airship (formerly Urban Airship)
The interface takes a bit getting used to in order to know how to take advantage of everything. Some of the analytics that are available are particularly hard to find, so it's important to pay attention when customer support reviews everything, but everything I'd want and need in terms of Push and In-App messaging is all there.

I have not had to interact much with customer support as I have been able to find the vast majority of the answers I'm looking for within their documentation, which I very much appreciate because it saves me a lot of time. Customer support has been responsive and helpful for the most part during the couple of interactions I've had.

Airship is superb in customer support against all others. Even though I feel
CleverTap may be a better choice but probably will not be as easy as Airship when setting them up and operating it. As for
MoEngage , the last experience I had was simply not good enough, but that was more than two years ago in my region.
Read full review I have not personally used Yext, but after a couple demos I didn't find that it fit the needs of my past clients or current company as much as MomentFeed could; I had also heard horror stories about how Yext effectively holds listing data hostage or simply removes it once you are no longer a customer.

It's had a positive impact on engagement. It helps lend credibility to our product given that major sites like CNN, AP, ESPN, etc. have push notifications. I have not come across any negative impacts. Read full review Increased star-ratings=increase in click-thru rates. Increased star-ratings=increase in sales. Read full review ScreenShots
