CoSchedule vs ion, by Rock Content (formerly from ScribbleLive)

• The monthly calendar view gives me a broad overview of all the content we have in production.
• The notes section within each blog topic helps me keep an organized list of items or links relevant to that topic.
• The headline analyzer gives me another option to test my headline before publishing, to see how it scores.

• The Ion support team - both during implementation and as we've been building experiences - has been exemplary. They are always available, engaged and enthusiastic.
• One aspect of the platform that we've loved from the beginning is the customized design template that is built into the platform. Our in-house designer particularly loves this feature as it saves her hours of time when it comes to designing individual assets. She can go in and add polish and style without having to start from scratch every time.
• The metrics are also incredible. You can really examine and analyze them from several different angles. Automation, Content and our business lines each view the metrics from a different perspective so this has been an especially helpful feature.

• Would like to replicate some of the functionality of Buffer (sharing other content easily from multiple sources) to consolidate our marketing calendar in one place.

• The organization of the catalog leaves something to be desired. It's not very straight forward and it looks dated.
• The editing tool can sometimes be wonky, zooming instead of opening an edit box.
• Matching styles requires a paste to match style. From what I can tell there's not a direct button or a global style push.

• Probably too early to tell for certain but it is definitely value priced right now. Fully developed content management platforms are running in $15-$20k per year range and more. You can get into a CoSchedule solution for $
• Team has found it easy to sign on and review tasks so this is a big time saver. More could be done to enable Guests easier access to content they need to review
• It's way faster that other scheduling apps we have tried. The fact that it runs on a cloud based app or inside your Wordpress app is a real plus. Auto save feature also means you don't have to remember to save your content.
