Unmetric was a SaaS platform for intelligence on an organization's social media efforts and the efforts of their competitors on social media. It provided data across Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest and LinkedIn. Its capabilities are now supplied by Brandwatch.
Unmetric is great when you need to do quantitative analysis of social media posts, whether you own the posts or not. Newer features like segment creation where you can get results by keyword or category are amazing time-savers for certain tasks (like if you're looking at posts about fruit and want to see how posts that mention "bananas" perform you can do that right in the dashboard). Hopefully, they'll soon allow you to build and save those filters so you don't have to recreate them every time you do a task. While in the past I'd only recommend this platform for keeping a pulse on unowned content, the new tools make the platform useful even for reviewing owned content, as you may be able to save time on content coding tasks- it seems like that's the direction they're headed anyway
A de minimis incentive was given to thank the reviewer for their time. The incentive was not used to bias or drive a particular response, nor was the incentive contingent on a positive endorsement. More Info

The interface is slightly different for each social channel, which is confusing for novice users. I wish they'd standardize their naming schemes and dashboards, to the extent they can be with the different platforms.
They'll add and implement new features but won't tell you- I came back into the platform to discover they'd applied a weighting scheme to my engagement rate that messed up my findings.
Sometimes the platform just stops working.
Support sits in India so there's no way to get answers fast if you have a question or issue.

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.

I haven't used Simply Measured in a few years, mostly because it was just too expensive for what we needed it for and Unmetric provided what we needed at a reasonable price. I also had an issue with how big the Simply Measured files were- they often froze analysts' computers, and the first task was to delete unused tabs to reduce the file size.
