    If you need to characterize the loaded data with statistical parameters, it is preferable to do the analysis previously and only load the results for the software to show them. This does not detract from the software, it is simply impossible to "have the best of everything" in a single application.

    Prior to adopting Cronycle, our research team had a variety of different ways in which they would discover, store
    and share information. These methods were often inconsistent, with many smaller
    teams or sub-groups of researchers operating independently of others. In many cases, content that was potentially useful to more than one
    colleague was not being shared at all. We had thousands of different sources,
    accessed through varying methods and stored in different locations/systems, and
    very few colleagues would have had an idea of which sources other team members
    were using. Furthermore, we became aware as a team that while between us we
    were pulling in a lot of information, much of what was being discovered was not
    necessarily being acted upon, or indeed being read by the colleague to whom it
    was most relevant. We also needed to become more targeted, and indeed more
    selective, in the information we were seeing, and Cronycle -specifically through the Sources Library, the Feeds, and the tagging and notification functionality - has enabled us to do
    just this. There has been a genuinely transformative outcome to our information gathering ability, borne out by specific metrics, which Cronycle has also provided us with via the Enterprise account.

    Pros
    CleverMaps
    • The response of the software to the requirements has been consistently fast. Only in extreme cases where the speed of the internet system present in the site where the tool is being used is extremely slow, we have recorded delays in accessing information.
    • The software allows the possibility of several people located in different geographic locations, simultaneously accessing the same information, without interfering with each other.
    • It has made it possible to detect "information gaps" that were thought to be non-existent, and that resulted in expedited decision-making, to try to fill the gap or to find alternative solutions, not initially contemplated.

    Cons
    CleverMaps
    • It is not functional if it is intended to be used in small mobile screens, since to achieve an adequate visualization of the maps and the side panel, at least one screen the size of a tablet is needed.
    • There are times when you do not want to show (for reasons of confidentiality or for commercial reasons, for example) all the data that is associated and loaded in the database. So far we have not found a way to load the data in a way that ensures that "sensitive data" is displayed only when desired, and not automatically with the data set in general. The option is possible. Research is continuing on this.

    • For some reason logging on for a few months does not go as easy as usual, because nowadays I need a least two attempts to log in.
    • I think I do only use the core functionality of Cronycle: getting indication info by keywords via multiple sites.
    • Vice versa: if people come to me with a suspected issue, I double-check via Cronycle by entering that issue as search in found results. A low occurrence often indicates the suspected issue likely is not so severe.

    Any issues with the platform have always been resolved quickly. I have never previously worked with a third party software provider whose support team is as responsive.

    With sincerity, the company has not opted in particular for any of these applications. It has evaluated the benefits and weaknesses of the named applications and other additional ones that are not included in the previous list. As it happens with almost everything in life: there are skills and potentialities of a software that are more applicable in certain fields of work, and for certain characteristics inherent to the data that it handles. Within this same company, there are applications that are more useful for a certain type of data and information and less versatile for others.
    More important is the knowledge that must have, about the data and processes involved, the person who has the responsibility of selecting a certain software.

    Hootsuite publication prep and scheduling is great, better than Cronycl (a manual process) Cronycl management of feeds, filtering creation of topical boards are excellent, Hootsuite doesn't offer this. Cronycle I find it easier, more attractive, and better filtering than Buffer, though Buffer was slightly better at the publication prep.

    Return on Investment
    CleverMaps
    • It allowed detecting "information gaps" in places where it was not expected that this scenario could occur.
    • It has made it possible to quickly visualize, locations where, although information existed, this information was relatively old, or of low quality compared to that which can be obtained with the most recent technologies.
    • The detection of these scenarios improved the level of satisfaction that the company routinely asks of its clients, who stated that they are highly satisfied with the level of knowledge that the company has in relation to information, especially the historical records, that in our field of action is of high importance.
