Chose Sociabble
Sociabble is the more premium and customizable version of Smarp. It offers significantly more customization, even if it isn't as 'turnkey' of a solution for a team. I would encourage anyone with a large team (100+ members) or the time/resources to commit to this effort to …

Likelihood to Recommend
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!

Something I really [like about Sociabble} is the ease of use of the tool, for the most part, and the information provided about the various features within [the software]. On the other hand, [I suggest] that Sociabble [should prove upon] the different [purviews] of admin and users. Sociabble [could be useful if there [were] different gradations of admin's [role in coordinating with] the user's [ability to modify] and edit posts and comments.

Pros
  • 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.

  • User-Friendly Layout: A layout and feel that will be very familiar to anyone who uses other social media channels, especially Pinterest.
  • Ease Of Use: Incredibly simple platform to connect your profiles with and begin using; while it has significant opportunity for customization and higher-level usage, the basic purpose and configuration of the platform is incredibly straight-forward.
  • Customization: There are a ton of customizable options and elements that Sociabble provides, compared to other products on the market.

Cons
  • 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.

  • Gamification is geared towards adding new users (and thus paid for seats for Sociabble), rather than incentives to promote specific campaigns by existing users.
  • Can’t measure engagement for a particular month/week.
  • I believe that the price can be revised and improved, not taking all the performance out of the software, just analyzing that it is great and that it can have more reach if the price is improved for interested parties with lower conditions.

Sociabble is the more premium and customizable version of Smarp. It offers significantly more customization, even if it isn't as 'turnkey' of a solution for a team. I would encourage anyone with a large team (100+ members) or the time/resources to commit to this effort to consider Sociabble, while I'd recommend Smarp for smaller teams or a company that doesn't have the time/bandwidth to dedicate resources to the management of the platform.
