BuzzSumo
Chose BuzzSumo
We have used TapInfluence which is much more expensive. It is definitely better in the influencer category, but BuzzSumo provides more functionality beyond that.
Chose BuzzSumo
We have used TapInfluence and it is definitely better for finding influencers, but it does lack a lot of the other capabilities that are available with BuzzSumo.
Chose BuzzSumo
Buffer is a tool that can be very useful for certain uses of Twitter, but in reality, it is very limited when you want to demand a little more. The pros actually weigh a lot, but the serious limitations in several regards do not allow us to give it a higher mark.

Pros
  • The real-time data unmatched and Buzzsumo is continually improving their tools and dashboards every year (we've noticed that their team listens to suggestions and often implements new features based on how our industry is evolving).
Cons
  • The price is a little steep for us. We are a small advertising agency and have a lot of tools to consider to improve our efficiency. We just wish it was a little less expensive.

TapInfluence is a great influencer marketing tool that has made lives so much easier and
therefore I would recommend it to everyone to use it because of its great
database search function which makes it an optimal option for users. It should
work towards their customer service support so that all users do not have to go
through any problem. If you are ready to get hands-on the functions then the
only condition is that you have to be willing to pay the hefty price too which
I feel is a little outrageous.

  • I love the automation in this influencer connection service. TapInfluence has an automated process in which it recommends influencers who can do very good publicity for my business sector. This feature is very important to me since in this way the advertising will reach people who will really take that information into account because it is of interest to them.
  • The main panel of TapInfluence has divisions where I can see all the influencers who are working for me, in addition, in this individual panel I can know all the advertising that each of the influencers has done and see what traffic that advertising has generated, I can know the views that advertising has had and the clicks it has obtained. It is very important to be able to consult all this data from the main panel, so I can know what performance each influencer is giving me.
  • TapInfluence offers me a very stable communication service, where I can constantly converse with each of the influencers who work for me and with the influencers that appear in my "recommended" window.

Cons
Cision
  • Although I think it's hard, I'd like to see it being used for other mediums as well such as Twitch, etc.
  • It could have better backlink data to include more backlinks that each content piece has.
  • One or two more pricing tiers might work.

  • It is also crucial to understand the cons associated with TapInfluence so that the overall software can be improved in a much better way. In my opinion, TapInfluence should give a considerable amount of attention to their customer support service as it needs to get a lot better.
  • Software like TapInfluence should be very easy to use due to its intuitive interface but I feel that here it is difficult to use especially for beginners.

Usability
Cision
The interface is a little clunky for me, especially on mobile. However, the directions are clear and it didn't take long for me to figure out how to use it. I just wish that things were a little more streamlined.

Support Rating
Cision
The support we have received over the years has been wonderful. They have definitely demonstrated excellent customer service. We find the chat support to be the quickest and most useful for the day-to-day questions. A rep always responds very timely, answers our questions, and sends a follow-up to ensure we're maintaining success

I consider that Buffer is a very useful tool that allows you to have an active presence on social networks without having to be glued to them all day. There are others, among which Hootsuite stands out.

I have not used anything like it, but I would choose another if it had the same functionality or similar and at a lower cost.
