Engagor (discontinued) vs. RADAAR

Engagor is a very powerful tool for customer care purposes to be able to engage in real-time with your customers. If there are a lot of messages coming in during important peaks throughout, we can easily answer them every 30 seconds.
Engagor isn’t that fit to use for publishing. We mostly use Engagor to reply to messages in real-time. However, for scheduling posts in Engagor, we publish and schedule on the native platform instead.

RADAAR is very well suited for bulk content scheduling across different social profiles. It's great to store passwords for different profiles in the passbook so you don't have to remember them all the time. It's really great for your own work, however, the post-approval feature for clients is not released yet. So if post-approval is a major concern for the users, they should wait for the RADAAR team to roll out this feature.

• Real-time mention tracking is a must these days. Quick responsiveness is critical on many social media platforms, especially on Twitter.
• Fast and helpful support via Engagor chat and messages helps a LOT! I think the longest wait time was about 40 seconds for me. My workflow never gets disrupted because of idle sessions.
• Automations can help you a lot. Automated "recipes" are great tools for decreasing your agents' workload, and there are many customizable settings for them.

• Bulk scheduling of content for multiple social media profiles with CSV import
• Real-time monitoring of all the social profiles with the Stream modules
• Social Inbox displays the details of messages and comments done on our profiles. Plus the ability to filter them and reply from Radaar

• The UX is pretty clunky. Engagor only loads about 10 mentions per page, so if my team is behind on tagging/mention resolution by a couple of days, for a global brand that can mean an extra week of work. Would be much easier if the user could choose how many mentions show up on their screen.
• Over the year we have had issues with Engagor's glitches. For example, the user has the capability to publish to a platform (like Facebook, Twitter, etc.) through Engagor as the brand. For a couple of the brands we work on, Engagor would show the update as published as one brand, but would actually publish as another. As an agency that handles social media content/community management for several very large brands, we cannot afford to have accidental status updates despite the author's efforts. This happened several times over the course of our experience with Engagor, to a point that we had to forego this feature for those brands and publish natively through the platform.
• It has definitely skewed reporting numbers more than once -- for a set time period (i.e. 30 days, our typical monthly reporting period), the stats for a platform will appear very different from how they display on the native platform itself. For example, on occasion Engagor would load numbers from a Facebook fan count during a 30-day period that did not at all match up with the numbers Facebook showed me. This also applies to the number of overall mentions of a brand/account.
• There is no immediately clear "undo" feature when resolving a mention. There have been times I have bulk-tagged a set of mentions, set all as resolved and then realized that I had made an error, without a very clear way to revert that action.
• Double mentions have shown up, skewing numbers and sentiment/tagging analytics.
• The insights/reporting section could definitely be a little more clear in how it explains metrics (or why the user should care to report these metrics). While we have an analyst on our team who is happy to explain these terms, I can see how some of them would not be intuitive at all to a user who doesn't live and breathe social media analytics. Also, the line graphs can be very difficult to read and parse. If the user downloads a line graph to their desktop from Engagor, it doesn't necessarily show all of the information you need, making it necessary to screengrab rather than downloading a higher-quality visual.

• Content creation and the Calendar should be in different sections as the calendar makes the tool slower.
• Ability to crop images directly in the content creation window and also the option to add a Watermark to the created content.
• Bulk delete the posts which are no longer needed.
• Ability to add Labels in the posts in bulk or add an option to add labels at the import CSV option
• Introduce an editor like google docs for the WordPress posts creation and scheduling.
• Media library should be added to upload and host images and videos for use in posts.
• For Twitter, there should option to Retweet the performing posts and setup automations.

Both the tool and the support that we receive from the customer service department and the customer success manager makes me likely to renew the use of Engagor.

RADAAR is a robust tool, and it is constantly being developed. As an early adopter, I can say that this is definitely a steal. Who knows how powerful RADAAR can be in the near future. It constantly follows the lead of all the leading platforms, and it adapts in every way possible. Again, a community-based SAAS development makes this tool very very useful.

I have gotten in touch with the support team just a few times since RADAAR is quite easy to use. But on those few occasions, the team had been very responsive and applied the needed urgency. Even the founder is very active and attentive to user concerns and needs. The future is indeed bright.

Sprout Social is good for smaller accounts with limited traffic. Some insights available but often questionable data. Only picks up direct interaction (i.e. doesn't monitor likes or favourites). Sysomos was used for a while, but spent ages defining search times still producing questionable data. Did not properly monitor Facebook interaction and often did not pick up from that platform at all. Customer service only operated in US time (we are UK) which proved increasingly problematic

• Better customer service.
• Better detection of potential crisis on social media which leads to avoiding the crisis or better managing it.

• RADAAR reduced our manpower cost by doing our posts in bulk
• Efficiency of posting (less errors because all are pre-planned)
• Faster client responses
