Conversocial gives structure to social media management and keeps conversations running smoothly with interaction history for each customer and follower. The collaboration workflows allows quick sharing of information and creation of tasks for others.
Chose Verint Channel Automation
Early on we did comparisons with Hootsuite and later with Adobe. While they have similarities, the difference at the time and likely currently, was the personal interest and general accessibility of Conversocial's platform and people. The combination of an effective CRM …
Chose Verint Channel Automation
I have also used Radian6 and Hootsuite. I did not like that you we're unable to archive in Hootsuite and could not see previous conversations. Hootsuite also had way too many columns that you could create and it was very disorganized in my opinion. Radian6 is a great tool but …
Chose Verint Channel Automation
I have experience with Hootsuite, Sprout Social, Simplify 360, Conversocial, Radian6, Cision, and Wildfire. Each of the platforms has a different strength. Conversocial excels at customer service management while Sprout Social is ideal for social media monitoring/engagement, …

Chose Verint Channel Automation
I have used HootSuite and Salesforce Radian6 and so far, Conversocial is my favorite. Where Radian6 excels for categorization of posts, Conversocial has a much easier learning curve. I did not use HootSuite for more than a month before the company switched us to Conversocial so …
Chose Verint Channel Automation
We performed a full evaluation of HootSuite, SocialEngage, and Oracle RightNow. Conversocial was selected for several reasons, including the intuitive interface (very important for CS agents, who are already working in a multitude of complex systems), capacity to support our …
Chose Verint Channel Automation
ZenDesk, Hootsuite. Conversocial allowed us to work 7-10X faster than we had previously while still maintaining the "socialness" of the platform, rather than converting the experience into a traditional customer service interaction.

Likelihood to Recommend
FlowUp is a well-suited tool for follow-up and marketing automation and it's worth giving a trial. This tool facilitates ease to engage with leads and customers more effectively and efficiently.

It is well suited for larger organizations that see a lot of content. If you're a very small business with little engagement, Conversocial may not be the most appropriate tool for you. I would ask yourself how much content you see each day/week, is that number going to increase for any reason, and based on that Conversocial may be the perfect fit.

  • Businesses can analyze how long it takes different agents to respond to customer inquiries on social media. This helps them understand staffing, response time, and how to become more efficient with customer care.
  • By utilizing the tagging and sentiment features across all conversations, businesses can better understand what their customers are talking most frequently about on social media and whether it's positive or negative. This can help identify frequent product issues that may lead to future design improvements.
  • Through the dashboard, customer representatives can also easily assign conversations to the appropriate team member. This makes it more efficient for different managers to handle different conversations related to their product expertise.

Cons
  • Despite all the communicative advantages that FlowUp offers, it is problematic to have to constantly leave the platform to be able to hold meetings in an external service for online meetings, such as zoom, since Flowup does not take into account the possible need to use video calls or group sessions when planning or selling.

  • Determining the sentiment of a social message is something that every predictive modeled Social CRM tool can improve on.
  • Mechanism for posting to a native site might be more robust. Although our business did not choose to post through the tool. We did not use any other mechanism to automate our posts.

The only two reasons we would not continue using Conversocial are it's lack of comprehensive analytics and its lack of Radian6's categorization tools. Tags make up for the categorization pretty well, however, and we're considering switching everything over to this now that we've tested tags for a couple months within Conversocial. (I previously wrote that Conversocial lacks support for some social channels like Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube, but they have now added Instagram and YouTube.)

Usability

Because of the number of features it offers and the manner in which they're presented. I've explored a number of other tools that just don't do it as well. When sorting through and responding to hundreds of social media messages each day, the number of clicks it takes to do something really matters. Conversocial does a great job of minimizing clicks and presenting the data we need without having to click to find it

Early on we did comparisons with Hootsuite and later with Adobe. While they have similarities, the difference at the time and likely currently, was the personal interest and general accessibility of Conversocial's platform and people. The combination of an effective CRM solution and a team that was readily available to help proved to be the winning formula for our business.
