Likelihood to Recommend I wish they had provided analytics for Instagram and YouTube, Then it would have been very great for its users and easy to track all platform accounts in one tool. Other than that I haven't found any other problems with this tool. It's great and has amazing features for Twitter. Would recommend [to] others too.

Read full review Firstly, the platform is super easy to use, it is user-friendly and easy to navigate through. Secondly, the platform also provides you the option to use filters to your best fit and adjust the filters according to what data you want to look at. Thirdly, it enables the user to have live feedback on their articles and see what can be improved going forward to address the need of the readers. Read full review Cons Should provide analytics for other platforms. Read full review A more readily understandable visual guide to a visitor's pathway through your site would help understand what keeps a reader on-site. The total page view number for the day should be more readily visible--on the overview page, not just by going to Posts>Historical. Maintain the archive for longer than a year under all plans--it's a shame to lose year-on-year data quickly.

However, it is a tool many get on with for surface level data that is useful to editorial teams.
Read full review Usability I would give 10 ratings as before knowing about FollowerAudit. I used to use different tools for different purposes, but with this tool my work has become so much easier and less hectic! It is easy to use and understand and service and pricing is also very great comparison to others.
Read full review The Parse.ly platform is very user-friendly and easy to use. User management is simple, and reporting setup only takes a few minutes. They provide very helpful documentation for implementing the scripts on your site and have great customer support to help with custom development such as implementing their content recommendation engine.

Read full review Support Rating Good customer support. Responds on time whenever having an issue and solves it. Communication is also decent and not at all inappropriate. Also haven't faced much problems so didn't need to contact them much.
Read full review I rate this question this way solely because I haven't requested any support. I feel where I will eventually get support would be when we take Parse.ly up on some training that is being offered. We are looking to do that at some point after the first of the year and when our schedules support it.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Parse.ly does pretty well compared to
Chartbeat , particularly when it comes to historical information and analysis options that are easy for employees to use after some short training. The onboarding for Parse.ly is intuitive, and the scheduled reports take away basically all of the inconvenience associated with regular metrics reviewing. But
Chartbeat wins in its social audience tracking because it can source traffic to a specific social post, which can show you exactly how your audience is coming to your content and where you need to put your content to be sure you get that audience.

Read full review Sometimes in meetings our editorial director will point out stories that didn't perform well. To us, that means readers don't really care about the topic, so we'll pivot away from writing about that in the future. That might not be "business objectives" though.
