Digimind Intelligence is an enterprise competitive intelligence software that provides insights and analysis. Corporations use it to maintain a central place for all of their intelligence needs; create insightful intelligence newsletters to automatically disseminate internally; generate in-depth reports; perform product and competitor benchmarking; and discover hidden intelligence using advanced text mining and visualization.
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.
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.
Monitoring the web - upon thousands and thousands of sources can be monitored at the same time as well as new sources discovered by utilising the tools digimind offers
Content management - store all of your data within the portal and access from any location with internet access or use the "push mail" feature to have a daily or weekly summary of news sent directly to your email inbox.
Managing the news via newsletters and extranet sites - within minutes you can automate a specific newsletter and tailor it for the relevant audience. Extranets can also be set up to view the news online as well as to store it to be viewed at a later time.
Source discovery - Digimind now offers ways in which to find new sources for specific topics and quickly add them to your search agents so you can continue to monitor them
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
