Blended Sense vs. Compendium (discontinued)

Blended Sense is well suited really for any business out there, large or small. We live in the digital age and to have and own your digital assets is an absolute necessity. Blended Sense does this and makes my life as a business much easier. Social media content is one less thing I have to worry about thanks to Blended Sense

Oracle is great for a very basic blog. The look of ours was designed and built on the back end/code side, so I'm not sure if there are a lot of clean, modern templates like you see in a lot of blogs today to choose from or not. It has been great having a number of authors who can write content directly in the platform and then submit it to our content managers for scheduling and publishing. I think the biggest issue people may have with it is the look of the interface. It needs an update.

• A wide variety of creative talent resources.
• Allow for expert creative talent without the in-house costs.
• Flexibility to serve around the Austin area.

• Permission levels are also nice so a random user cannot just post without a certain level of access.
• I also like being able to update the code if necessary.
• It's easy for users to access and write, and there's a nice workflow to review any content before it gets published.

Incentivized

• Because they use different creators, sometimes the standards of quality are different
• The production timeline and how they schedule creativity doesn't always work for the quick turnaround on projects

Incentivized

• Templates are a good thing, but hard to set up and require a lot of work. (Other Oracle tools are more user-friendly when it comes to template design.)
• While they did a good job updating the interface, I still believe more work can be done to make it more user-friendly.

Easy to use, and supporting several permutations, the CM suite is an excellent solution for a mid to large size business. It's meant to be used by a team, and the functionality can work across websites and landing pages. There's also the high benefit of translation management, providing support for localized products.

It has never been down since we have used this software.

To be perfectly honest, every one of my concerns and problems has been handled by the support team in a very timely manner. If they could not fix my issue they assured me it be addressed in future updates.

Don't forget about customer service once you have a closed the sale with a customer. Oracle seemed to not care about our needs/timeline after we gave them our Purchase Order

Other than taking pictures and videos on my own, Blended Sense is the only company I’ve used. I am aware of other companies out there that do similar things, but I don’t think any of them can compare to what Blended Sense has to offer. No need to go elsewhere

While OCM was a lot more money, they were able to prove to us that they are a much better solution to use and worth the extra cost. The reporting, capabilities along with the analytics that was easy to download was a big discussion factor for us.

• It helped us grow our brand on social media.

Incentivized

• Everyone had their own plan and executed them without taking into consideration the impact of another ongoing project. Compendium has created communication between teams that were not communicating before.
