Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus) vs. Preciate

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!

We use the Preciate app to do both internal and external recognition, which allows us to connect with our customers and communicate about things that were successes for us as a team. We also like to recognize team members and let them know that their work is not overlooked. We also use this to recognize customers and interns.

• 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.

• Easy install and user interface.
• Great customer service.

• 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.

• Technology could improve.
• Social needs some work (though I'm understanding of its newness).
• DIY ability to customize stickers and more.

Preciate is always ready to help with questions or problems. They are good at follow up and also being proactive when new versions or upgrades are released. They also do a great job putting useful information on social media like LinkedIn and Twitter, that information is useful when we have an issue. Additionally, they have been really good at taking our suggestions and incorporating them into future builds and versions.

I can't really answer this as the platform was already in place when I took my current role.

I don't like using LinkedIn because it is too personal and not private enough, also recognition gets lost after you post it. With Preciate, the employee or person can take the recognition along with them at their next role or job. I also think that the company stands for some amazing things.
