    The transition to Google has been painful - key contacts are no longer available.

    If you're operating a social media campaign across several platforms (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc) This can really help, because it streamlines everything. Everybody is on the same page, and it tailors your organization to each user, so it's pretty easy to navigate once you have your footing. Really helps our social media manager out.

    • It's super clean and easy to use. From a client perspective, they like it because they can create their own news topics and share it with their internal audiences
    • The newest update lets you look at channels from other countries to see what current trends are globally
    • With the latest release, you can also post to LinkedIn and to groups on LinkedIn and Facebook – which makes it super easy for sharing content.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • More customization - Would like to have the ability to edit more without coding.

    • It's a saturated market – there's a lot of programs like these, so while it's fun and easy to use, there's a lot of other apps like this. They'll need to innovate if they really want to stand out
    • Their website isn't exactly trustworthy – this is a weird complaint, but the site loads strange and doesn't look...legitimate, I guess. It's a hard sell with some people.
    • Loading is sometimes an issue – sometimes it's slower than others.

    Our initial contract with Wildfire Whitelabel was for $30,000/year, as we progressed we found several alternatives for significantly less. We used this to our advantage to lower the second year to $17,000 with the limitation in the level of support (they call this their "core" subscription). Support has been quite bad.

    During our contract, we also asked for quotes on some custom work, but never managed to get an answer (or actual quote). Now two years into our contract, the limitations and lack of development are enough for us to find a different solution. Newcomers to the market like Rafflecopter, WooBox and PunchTab are delivering much better results for a fraction of the price

    Gave me a thorough rundown on everything the software does. Sometimes it is difficult to run through it all over the phone/internet, but I was able to figure it out myself.

    Wildfire was a merely an adequate social media tool when it existed as a standalone, but it just couldn't compete against other players like Sprout, Falcon, and Sprinklr.

    • As with any social media management tool, there is a savings on labor hours (rather than doing the manual work)
    • Aggregating all content into one system creates efficiencies for content teams

    • Keeps our clients happy – this is first and foremost. They can see the effectiveness of their campaigns
    • Helps us analyze our clicks – we can tell where our users are going, what they react to, and what they're looking at most
    • Streamlines our workload – it makes the whole process much faster, so we can worry about other things and tackle other projects.
