    It's a very good tool. It covers every need we have for social media listening & monitoring. Bad thing is that those who were selling us the software were not much concerned about costs and were not reducing although there are a lot of market leaders like Sprinklr who are really good with compensation & value addition

    • I’d love better graphics when I pull reports.
    • The sentiment data is still inaccurate.
    • We are unable to weed out all mentions of the arena associated with the bank.

    We are choosing a new platform to go with. It is not my choice to leave Engage121, but it has the majority of the capabilities that we need to get things done. That said, if needed, I would choose to use it.

    Ben Farkas was the representative that worked with us on this project, while we have been very excited with the work he provided, especially the customer service, we just did not have enough time with the product hands on to be comfortable giving it the 10 we think it deserves. As the Data tracking was done beyond our expectations and the finished product (infographic) were all excellent, we used this service to fill our need in being shorthanded to cover the data ourselves. Synthesio provided outstanding customer service, their data tracking and materials where top notch, just we lacked the hands on experience to speak to everyday use.

    Everything we needed was handled, in many cases during the first time we used Synthesio the representative made adjustments and explained them to us, some things we did not even consider when setting up the service.

    Manalto is a platform that's identical to E121. One good thing about Manalto is the uploading images function. You can upload them anytime in the posting process

    I have used Meltwater, Hootsuite for the same tracking purpose. Every tool has it own pros and cons. The best way to decide is go by the reviews of the people who have actually used it. Budget is yet another factor to consider.
