    It is a really good solution when it comes to insights on companies where you want to place your products because it tells you all the information where you can attach the use of your solution, the only thing is that it needs more information on mid-market.

    Social Mention
    Social Mention is a great tool for monitoring social media. This Tool can also be used to search specifically taking the keywords in the blogs, comments, news etc. It offers a third party API for users. It can be used to send email to clients of their brand performance data. This tool can indicate if your mentions are angry, happy or neutral but the data can't be reliable.

    Social Mention
    • Under the "Free" dashboard you are limited to only receiving weekly results.
    • Can't negate those tags which contain my tags.
    • Lots of tweets missing, no noise filtering. Sometimes we get very old contents which are not needed.

    I love that Social Mention is so easy to use. It does not take a long time to learn how to navigate the site when you need information quickly. I don't use it as much in my new job, but I recommend it for basic monitoring and when you need social media information right away

    It doesn't work as well since we changed our name. We used to have a very unique twitter handle etc. so it was easier for social mention to find us. For folks who have unique names it's excellent if you don't it may not be that helpful.

    We utilize both for the most accurate information in terms of employee count of company, location of headquarters address, validity of what current technology that may be using today. Also cross reference this information with LinkedIn and other sites to get the best info possible to determine rules of engagement for reps.

    Social Mention streamed everything together, calculated my sentiment for me, allows me to filter what results I am personally looking for, extract my RSS feed and navigate to one of the channels of buzz.

    • Relatively cheap when compared to the other alternatives we looked at and already beginning to show value in terms of new TAM

    • The paid-version actually had a negative ROI for us as it would sometimes feed us topically inappropriate articles and didn't allow us to filter by source so as to eliminate inappropriate blogs and inappropriate news sources (like highly politically partisan ones).
