It is highly recommended to work with Digimind Social if you are looking to work on social listening. The platform is really powerful and the support team is great too, but it is a must to have some experience working with this type of tools and also a good idea of which results are you looking for and why.

S&P Capital IQ's add-in slows down my Excel when I incorporate formulas into it.
S&P Capital IQ's algorithms don't necessarily look in the footnotes of company filings, which can make for a less robust analysis of financials and multiples than desired.
The user interface is not very user-friendly and thus makes maximizing the software's features difficult. It could be more intuitive to use and not so busy (e.g. not so many small icons on one web page). The S&P Capital IQ support team, however, is always available and very helpful.
We would love to see the sentiment on the comments of our social media posts, but also on the other brands too. But at the moment we understand that is not being possible because of the separation between private and public information.
After using Digimind for many years, it has become an integral part of our business intelligence process. We have developed our platform over this time with the help of the Digimind team and are very happy with the level of support we receive.
We had Capital IQ in addition to Bloomberg. It was much easier for a new person to use Capital IQ than Bloomberg. The ease of use was a huge selling point for us. Yahoo finance on the other hand is free, but you cannot gather all the data you may need in one location like you can in Capital IQ.
The intelligence module of Khoros allows you to track on every social media network the accounts that you want to take a look at. But when analyzing the benchmark, Digimind Intelligence also gives you the chance to take a bigger look at what is going on outside social media, being able to upload any kind of sources (websites, blogs, among others).
We were a boutique investment bank, so it helped multiple people doing their job at the same time instead of waiting for a turn on the Bloomberg terminal.
Brought more interactive reports in PDF format to the table.
