Emplifi Social Commerce Cloud vs. Trustpilot

Emplifi's support and commercial teams are always available and ready to give support. Emplifi is also open to test new use cases, even though they are beyond contractual terms. That is amazing. They need to work on the processes to guarantee a streamlined integration with customers' technology, offering more options to those willing to develop in-house their solutions, and to keep an accurate reporting on time.

TrustPilot cannot be trusted. They have consistently removed reviews since I started with them. At first I thought it was a one or two off situation. We recently launched an "ask for reviews" initiative and got several positive reviews and TrustPilot removed all of them, without recourse. This hurts us really badly and initiates drawn-out emails with our customers. TrustPilot is wrong about legitimate reviews and has no clean way to resolve that. They hurt our customer relationships more than helped.

• The UGC platform is intuitive and easy to use
• The UGC platform offers multiple methods for obtaining content
• The UGC platform makes it easy to implement galleries in emails

• Completing the review for the customer is a simple process which enables us to receive more feedback.
• The Trustpilot account management team is a true partner working with each department to help with adoption across the company.
• The Trustpilot development team is a trusted partner with our own internal development team, assisting them with implementation as well as integration with their API.

• The Pixlee Integration needs a lot of work in my opinion.
• Influencer/Creator reporting
• The app is not very user friendly in my opinion.
• Options to get push notifications/texts if a post does not go live when expected (I'm not always checking my work email on the weekends)

• Removing inaccurate/faulty reviews. It's hard to talk to people about removing some inaccurate reviews.
• Product reviews should be visible on search engines too.
• Review requests email templates are not the best.

It's expensive and customer service is not the best.

We found the UGC component of Emplifi to be relatively intuitive and easy for new users to adopt, resulting in increased usage and efficient time spent on the platform. Increased adoption impacted our overall marketing programs because we are able to find better/more images and use them to support our messages and campaigns.

I've rarely had issues and needed support. During the implementation phase we relied on their support heavily and they were very knowledgeable, responsive and helpful. Any questions I've had have been answered promptly by my account manager. They also have a great knowledgebase for self-service support.

We selected Live Advisor Go In Store because at that moment, it was complete and more useful. However now our brands are looking for something different, something that will help the Live Advisor to make things better and easier. We are looking for solutions more into 1 to 1 chat and AI and customer care. We expect to have new technologies that give more personalized experiences to our customers while also helping our live advisors to sell more without interrupting their work in the stores.

Selected Trustpilot because of superior integration with the website and Google SERPS. Again, my only complaint would be Trustpilot was relatively more expensive than the other technologies.

• Live stream even if we have it included, we are not using it which is very sad, this is because our business does not have the time to create new content and we are not getting inspiration nor ideas
• Live advisor is great to get more users and more traffic however in terms of CR and ROI is very low. We are considering not having it because it is giving more work to our in-store assistants and is not returning any investment.

• We've seen an increase in CTR and CVR while lowering our CPAs using our reviews in our display and social media ads.
• Integrating the star rating with our Google Ads was automatic and we saw a lift in CTR when the stars were added.
• We saw an uptick in traffic in from our Trustpilot review page to our website.
