User Testimonials
	Firstup	Hootsuite Amplify
Likelihood to Recommend	Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus) Firstup is a well-suited solution for companies that would like to spread brand awareness and get employees to be their number one ambassadors. Employees like to share/brag about the company they work for so why not use them as a driving force in spreading brand awareness! Incentivized Anat Hazanchuk Sr. Social Media and Content Manager Read full review	Hootsuite There needs to be a cost-benefit analysis to determine the value we are getting. Once we are able to see that the advocacy is resulting in sales/registration we can provide a more accurate score. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus) Intuitive, easy-to-use templates for posts, newsletters and email notifications. Consistent upgrades and innovation that keeps the tool current with other apps. Flexibility on how users can use the tool (i.e. comments, sharing photos, etc.) This decision is left to each organization, individually. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Hootsuite Consistent message Easy to use Mobile app Incentivized Lois Whittaker Sr Content Marketing & Comm Mgr, Global Comm Read full review
Cons	Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus) We'd love to see a calendar added that would show key upcoming dates. It would be awesome if the Message feature had a drop-down directory you could scroll through vs. requiring you to type a few letters before the potential names came up. Incentivized Raleigh Decker Senior Director of Communications Read full review	Hootsuite Provide a better, more integrated experience into the corporate ecosystem Customizable gamification options Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus) No answers on this topic	Hootsuite Unsure whether cost justifies the purchase, or whether Hootsuite as an entire product line will continue to meet our needs Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus) I can't really answer this as the platform was already in place when I took my current role. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Hootsuite Equal but part of Hootsuite which we were already using Incentivized Lois Whittaker Sr Content Marketing & Comm Mgr, Global Comm Read full review
Return on Investment	Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus) We look at the earned media revenue tool that Firstup has, and we have earned media of over $4000 most months. Amazing! We have been recognized by peers, clients, and partner agents who say they always see our Hilldrup news pop up on social media! Marketing has been able to control the voice of the brand while amplifying the message to new audiences - amazing!
