Brandwatch vs. Physio Cloud Software vs. VinTank

The user interface is great and is easy to use for social media marketers of all ranges. In regard to planning and scheduling content, it allows all users with access to the capability to view all upcoming on an actual calendar. For organizational purposes, this is great and mitigates any confusion that other team members may have. The tool seems to always be updating which has its pros and cons because once you figure something out, there's a switch and you'll need to relearn how things are positioned but overall, it's not a heavy lift.

I personally like the detailed evaluation wizard that is guiding you from palpating, Edema measurements, PROM measurements, manual muscle testing, mobility, and the end feels reliable and valid special tests, medical history, short term, and long term goals. Also, I like the exercise prescription.

VinTank is a tool for many facets of the wine and restaurant industry. Depending on the scale of your business, this tool can be managed and dispersed by an enterprise manager or solely owned by a social media/community manager. The ability to add multiple users and assign responses allows efficiency and proper knowledge to address specific issues brought by our social customers

• Clean, beautiful visuals that can be easily incorporated into reports to be used internally and externally.
• Customization-- anywhere from the queries you create to adjusting individual report widget/components this tool is very flexible.
• Excellent Customer Service and support. My Brandwatch rep is always open to hearing from me for questions and often reaches out to me to check in on my status or see if I would like to participate in beta programs.
• Constant innovation. It seems like Brandwatch is constantly updating and adding improvements to their platform--especially with their 2019 acquisition of Crimson Hexagon.

• Very steep learning curve- good luck training casual users on the difference between a query, a rule, a category etc
• Lack of access to FULL historic data is a serious drawback- populating that data takes a minimum of 24 hours and incurs additional costs
• Volume limits mean you may have to build your query to exclude mentions that may be useful in getting the full context of the situation

Incentivized

• Complete Social Channel Management - A platform integration (such as Hootsuite) for planning, scheduling, posting and team management on a larger scale. Would mean one less social management platform for myself.

Brandwatch is a simple tool that is easy to learn and understand. Without any rigorous training, the team can learn to use it and interpret the results in an efficient manner. It saves a lot of work and helps the team to focus on other important time consuming tasks. I would like to continue using Brandwatch.

Given the value of the tools presented, VinTank is a no-brainer. Being able to monitor social mentions of brands, segment customers on various interaction levels, enhance consumer response and experience, all while discovering new and influential customers make VinTank a must have software product for wineries and restaurants. Context of our social mentions have become extremely powerful and VinTank has delivered the tools to use this data to its full potential to deliver true ROI

I've invited quite a few of my colleagues to try Brandwatch, and all of them were able to use its features with no assistance, and most of these had never used a social listening/monitoring tool before, or even a digital analytics tool! Brandwatch is not only easy to use, but filters, widgets, menus and other options are in intuitive places - it just works

Brandwatch craps out sometimes. Pages freeze, data doesn't populate for hours. It's fine if you're not in a hurry but something to keep in mind if you're working in real-time. It's not as bad as Talkwalker but it's impacted timely delivery of work for me, and one of the first things I teach when introducing the platform is the process for closing out and re-logging in to see if it unfreezes

We have not had to reach out to the team for much support but when we did, The support from the Team has been Superb. We were given the assistance needed once requested by the Team. We would recommend Falcon not only because the product is simply amazing but also because of the level of support we have reached.

good knowledge, great tips, although the program seems a bit disconnected. It could improve it they create more free webinars and a good content calendar and tackle little topics in each webinar. Their trainers are top notch and they know a lot about the tool but they fall a bit low on technical level understanding of how the tool actually works

Not that I can think of.

If you're using it to monitor your brand's social presence only, or if you're in an agency and using it to monitor existing clients and provide reports to them, then this is a great tool and you're hard-pressed to find something better. But if you're wanting it more for new business and discovery, there are tools that do this much better, including Sysomos and Crimson Hexagon. So it depends on what specifically you're trying to do. My agency was already using this product when I arrived, so I did not have a choice in the matter, but I've evaluated both of these other tools. Crimson is similar enough that the slight increase in cost doesn't justify switching. Synthesio is the most expensive competitor in the market (no matter what they tell you), but you get what you pay for. If you can afford it, go with Synthesio.

• At a high level, the biggest impact the Brandwatch Analytics has had is giving us the ability to quantify the impact of social media for our clients. In the world of social, ROI is defined and interpreted differently across clients (particularly where it's more difficult to apply traditional ROI) - so this may mean reporting on earned media for some, while for others it's measuring increasing engagements or social mentions over time.
