BHN Rewards vs. Influitive vs. NextBee

BHN Rewards is great if you need to send a reward to an international audience. The ability to look at claim data is also helpful when I'm trying to prevent fraud.

We have seen success with information sharing. Giving customers another way to access our resources has been a huge help for them. While we see good engagement numbers there are still some limitations to getting our advocates to complete the 'harder' challenges, like a testimonial or reference

I took this to encourage our work to share the social media and generate discussion concerning them. In a relaxing manner, the Overall task was performed hassle-free. A 360-degree solution that included retention, improving lifetime value, and much more was quite realistic to achieve the business goal.

Incentivized

• Allows you to create compelling and engaging challenges that help your content stand out.
• The gamification system enables a seamless rewards program that doesn't require a big manual lift.
• The data and insights are easy to access, analyze, and guide you toward your north star.

Incentivized

• One of the best workflows management available
• It offers omni-channel marketing
• Best UX/UI available to work with
• Very easy to use

Incentivized

• The main dashboard is not very useful for tracking your activity and spending
• Website didn't seem super reliable. Would see downtime occasionally.
• You can export reports to Excel but better built in reporting would be nice

Incentivized

• The Admin view is not as intuitive as the user view and the functionality just isn't as great. I wish it had almost the same layout/interface as how the customer sees it so I didn't have to constantly enter Preview mode.
• I wish there were more included integrations in the regular Influitive package.

Incentivized

• Interface can run a bit slow at times
• Constant improvement of the platform is a good thing, but it requires ongoing learning
• The platform is weak on workflow process establishment

Depending on the cost and new features to be added, our company might be motivated to renew the use of Influitive. However, a lot depends on the year to come and the enhancements that can better our experience and add more gamification to the platform. Adding elements that can woo our target audience.

Great overall. I like that I can control access levels, which means more people can use the tool without breaking something (or spending money on accident). Whenever I do have an issue, Daniel (my CSM) always helps me figure out a solution or the reason why it's a feature and not a bug

Overall, Influitive is very easy to use for customers. There's a bit of a learning curve for new admins, but that's only because Influitive isn't always intuitive. The UI is confusing in certain places. I expect something to be in one place, and I find it somewhere else entirely. This is the only reason my usability rank isn't higher

Yes, always available and extremely quick. The availability is 10 on 10 for sure. We also have situations where their team might not be working or on a holiday, but if we have an event, they are available and ensure smooth running. That is the beauty of having Influitive take care of you.

Influitive AdvocateHub interacts with Blackbaud Champions and is an on-time response system. What I mean by that is once data is entered in Influitive AdvocateHub, it is updated in real time and I can access a computer and the data is there immediately. Sometimes the rewards do not show up right away and I am under the assumption that the delay is caused by an influx of traffic.

If a problem can be easily addressed, Influitive Support is all over it! They're fast and always easy to work with. Some of the larger, or more unique problems, can get a little lost. I'd love to see a bit more follow-up on these more important issues, instead of me needing to reach out to find the status of a previously submitted issue. Overall, everyone at Influitive is kind and wants to help!

I was taught and made to show all features that could help me learn more about the platform and this was great hands-on training for me. I picked up things faster than others and did have time to create challenges and make changes while someone was around to supervise and help.

Incentivized

The training was extensive and gave me the knowledge/ skills that I needed in order to implement my advocacy program using Influitive's Advocate Hub. I also meet on a regular basis with my Customer Success Manager. My Success Manager helps give me ideas for my program and helps me ensure that it's successful. Influitive is really invested in my success. They act more like a partner than a vendor

I think some of the key insights I can put forward are all aligned to simply being organized. Make sure you have a well thoughts out plan where you have taken all factors into account. Prioritize the list of deliverables, and make sure you have all the right people alighed to assist internally & externally. If you have a well organized plan you will be set up for success.

Both are good products, I honestly have no complaints with either of them. Rybbon's integration with Qualtrics is a definite plus.

Vanilla is great for forums, but they don't have the gamification/challenges piece that is so important toward building advocacy. I've found a similar circumstance with Salesforce communities--good if you're looking primarily for crowdsourced tech support and QA, but nothing "sticky" for really building a thriving community, or the advocacy piece

I use NextBee because i found it more helpful and full of incredible features which requires for a business to work with and increase there customer base and profitability. So i strongly recommend NextBee for large, medium and small size businesses who are looking for a remarkable software for social Engagements and reward programs.

When I stayed using we only had a hundred or so Advocates and now we have 2100+. Pretty amazing product!

• Using the paid plan where you pre-pay fees up front definitely saved us money in the long run
• It's a lot quicker and more manageable than using PayPal or Amazon gift cards
• Their support team has probably also saved us time by helping recipients who have trouble redeeming cards instead of us having to do it

Incentivized

• Influitive has helped us generate hundreds of reviews on sites like G2, TrustRadius, and Capterra, which has resulted in various awards and positive placement on grid reports.
• Influitive has helped us generate dozens of case studies and hundreds of quotes that can be used in sales and marketing campaigns.
• Influitive has generated thousands of survey responses to help our product team better understand what our customers want, which has had a direct impact on our product roadmap.

• Nextbee is a marvelous piece of software that supports businesses in creating a community based on our specialization.
