    Cronycle
    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.

    Really relevant for testing new product launches with customers. Often NPD fails to find the sweet spot of differentiation and impact (commercial or customer impact) and having the insights to test along the journey makes teams more agile and more motivated to trial new things without sinking over cost where you move from a concept to reality. Also helpful for studying different types of marketing impacts for longer-term campaigns on customer perceptions which are important measures of success beyond the commercial.

    Cons
    Cronycle
    • 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.

    • The platform can be confusing to navigate at times; UX could be simplified.
    • Ability to utilize more competitive datasets would be helpful.
    • Sometimes takes a while to return data and build out full insights.

    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.

    • From my position, it's having a positive impact on the people involved in planning customer-led projects - more innovation that is bolder, more confidence we are focussing on the right areas, less time trying to sign things off or dissect where things went wrong, or convincing leadership teams to keep the the testing.
