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.

• Crunchbase has an easy-to-navigate user interface. The bar at the top of the screen that shows the different data points available on companies is particularly helpful for quick navigating.
• The ability to make and import lists and save searches is helpful for customizing the software to your particular needs.
• The web and mobile app data that Crunchbase offers is very helpful to gauge trends and interest in companies for diligence purposes.

• 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

• Notifications - Something similar to TweetDeck would be nice, so that when news breaks it could be an immediate fact.
• Honestly dont add too much because you don't want it to become more of a social tool with cluttered info, keep it straight to the point.

• 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.

They give standard answers. They are not a customer first business. I tried to cancel my subscription after using it for only 1 week as we found the information was outdated and not at all useful. But they would not cancel the year long subscription I mistakenly signed up for

Crunchbase is definitely bottom of the barrel in this space. At similar pricing models, all competitors I have tried have significantly bigger and more updated databases. Crunchbase may have been great sometime in the past, but they are not worth engaging now.

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 have nothing but positive results using Crunchbase and rely on it heavily for prospecting.
• It might add more value if we get a more expensive or advanced version.

• It provides us with meaningful insights about what's going on with our brand and benchmark around the network.
• It allows us to track crisis easily because of the power of the platform and the configuration that we once established.
