    Chose Salsify
    Salsify was the clear winner when it came to a simple interface that allowed a multitude of uses for the organization. The others weren't structured in a way that we could easily allow new users in and were intimidating at the start. The syndication abilities and continual …

    Akeneo
    It's well suited to an environment which has multiple users working on product information at the same time. For smaller organisations, it would be easy to segregate products for the different users to focus on their span of work, but this has been somewhat tricky in a multi-company environment like ours where we have different users working on the same / similar products. Overall though, we're happy with the product.

    CoSchedule
    CoSchedule is great for businesses or agencies who need an overview of all their marketing efforts, and who want to establish collaboration between multiple departments. The calendar view is one of the best we've worked with and makes it easy to see exactly what's happening. There is some slight clunkiness when it comes to admin-related tasks, and a few things aren't easy to find, but there's great support.

    If you're looking for a tool to be able to syndicate singular products to other platforms, Salsify does well. Where it falls down a bit is when you're creating kits or bundles and trying to pass that data along to other applications. Overall, it's the best syndication platform we've found in the market.

    • Best time to post is great at updating to when we get the most engagement by platform
    • Requeue tool to slate out additional posts for a given piece of content is a huge time saver
    • Aggregate analytics tool shows us a peek across our posts on a given platform that's actually easier to read than the platform itself

    • The platform seems sluggish as of late, likely as a result of the robust amount of data we are entering and the number of filters we're creating.
    • Social media scheduling exists, but we do run into publishing errors more often then we'd like.
    • Task templates when updated are not retroactive, so when you create projects for an entire year and then change a template, you need to go back and change them manually.

    The interface is very intuitive, from setting up social profiles, to posting, to tags, to optimizing for best day/time to post. It's super easy to scan the aggregate analytics. The calendar is very easy to grok at a glance, and the more advanced functionality is intuitive to set up.

    I am only giving it a 9 because they are working on streamlining the uploading process to make things easier on our end - once this is complete I would most likely give it a 10!

    I didn't have to use their official support, but I can say that they put out a lot of content online to help users. Their YouTube page has quite an array of tutorial videos explaining how things work and how to get the most out of their tools. If you're struggling, before picking up a phone or blasting off an email, try searching for your problem on YouTube or their forums.

    CoSchedule provides collaborative planning of projects. The calendar view is very well designed. Meetings and tasks can be scheduled and tracked easily. Whatever is being done, no matter how big the task/project is, it gives a bird-eye view of everything. Additionally, it also integrated very well with WordPress. Their customer service team is also very helpful.

    I was not directly involved in the purchase decision process to acquire Salsify as we started using it after it, but I can tell the Team decided on Salsify for a number of solid reasons including functionalities, price, integration options, and usability. Otherwise, we would have kept the older tool or decided on a different provider. Salsify took the lead as the ideal solution for us earlier this year.

    CoSchedule
    • It has saved me about 1 hour per day to keep things organized from Asana to WordPress.
    • By not having a functioning Google Doc import feature, it costs me about 30 minutes for each blog post to copy paste all the content, images, etc.
    • By bundling too many features into their plans, many of which we don't use (e.g. social media scheduling), we lose a little ROI because we are not using the full feature set. We use and prefer Buffer for social media, so when CoSchedule raised their price $40+ per month on features we would not be using, that hurt.
