Bazaarvoice vs. Okendo vs. Stamped

Bazaarvoice is overall a quite strong ratings and reviews platform. If you have a national brand and want to integrate ratings and reviews into your website, Bazaarvoice should be in your consideration set. If you have a small business or a tighter budget, you may find Bazaarvoice too robust or expensive of a platform. If your brand gets a lot of organic product reviews, Bazaarvoice will be a helpful tool to increase brand credibility and search engine rankings. If you need help getting consumers to review your products, Bazaarvoice offers sampling programs. These programs can get very pricy depending on how many SKUs you are looking for reviews on. Bazaarvoice also has a proprietary platform where they collect consumer reviews for many brands, and once you have the Bazaarvoice ratings and reviews platform, you may be able to purchase reviews of your products and have them sync to your website without having to run a sampling program.

We love Okendo since we've launched. We used to get one review on a blue moon but since we onboarded Okendo, we have gotten 26 reviews in 2 months! This goes to show that our customers are willing to review our clothes, and genuinely love it! We are so happy with the look of the platform, and its usability of it.

If you want to generate valuable content that you can use on your website that provides a positive image of your business, Stamped.io can do it. We had absolutely no buyer feedback prior to Stamped.io. We have seen in actual customer reviews that the Stamped.io reviews are being read by customers and they consider them valuable.

• Bazaarvoice Curations makes it incredibly easy to pull in content from multiple social media platforms for us to review.
• Once the content is pulled into the Curations dashboard, our marketing team can very easily scroll through all the images and decide which ones we would like to feature on our site.
• Curations also makes it very easy to tag any of our products in the images. We are able to do this manually, but Bazaarvoice also offers the option of letting their team tag the products they see in our images.

• Their login to their portal is awful. They are working on creating a single sign on experience but right now there are different usernames and passwords depending on what dashboard you are attempting to access.
• They could probably spend more time optimizing the cost of their initialization script. The size of the JavaScript concerns me.
• They could work on their deployment and preview tools. The time for our staged changes to show on the live site doesn't seem to be as quick as it should be and the preview tools don't take into account the site's CSS files for display.

• Would love more customization that I could do on my own, without reaching out to the team
• Updated instructions on how to integrate with SMS via Attentive

• We haven't generated a whole lot of data as of right now, even being in business for two years, so a pain point for me is the analytics and trying to identify improvements. This is not really a deficiency of the software, just a lack of data.

We are happy with the product and really just need to optimise our deployment of it on an ongoing basis. There is a lot of functionality prebuilt within Bazaarvoice which we want to have on our site, and to recreate this in our platform would take significant effort which is not practical for us.

I'm sure all processes and program can improve, however Bazaarvoice has reached a very easy usability level and hope this continues as the product improves over time.

The Bazaarvoice team is always available via call, email, or any other platform to provide help, guidance, or to push or ask for the task we set earlier. They are talkative and easy to share information and discuss issues if there are any. Thay may have more out of box solutions for easy implementation, but as a whole, and regarding support I am satisfied.

Support is flat out awesome, super responsive and have always addressed my questions quickly and thoroughly.

Save time and energy by utilizing their implementation team!

Even though both PowerReviews and Bazaar Voice are capable of fulfilling the aforementioned needs, PowerReviews also provides free trials. PowerReview's style options aren't always user-friendly, but the app is worth checking out if aesthetic concerns aren't top of mind. Bazaar Voice, on the other hand, sounds really professional and is remarkably simple to use.

The review platform we used is not in the list above, however, it was a free Shopify app called 'Product Reviews.' This app had no customization, or customer emails, and was hidden within a tab on our product page. Okendo is a completely different experience for us and from a customer perspective as they have made it so easy for the customer to leave a review.

The only other service we used that's similar to Stamped.io is Feedback Five. That service is only similar in that it facilitates soliciting feedback. We use it for our marketplace business, not our website. I can say that Stamped.io is much more robust and valuable. The interface is more user-friendly, the campaigns are easy to set up, and working with customers directly in the UI is super simple.

• This has had a positive impact on the way the company identifies user issues and complaints more easily/readily.
• The negative impact is that departments seem to put a lot more expectations on our customers than this tool can provide (e.g., replies and follow-up), meaning that we aren't as able to provide additional information when requested.
• It's uncertain whether responding to reviews adds a lot of value when all is said and done. Reviewers rarely adjust their ratings, even if/when we sufficiently address their concerns or resolve issues.

• Currently there isn't a way to track the ROI

• Positive increase of over 80% in feedback responses.
• Trust is everything in our business and user reviews have contributed to a conversion increase of over 50%.
