    I think that Grmln works best for small businesses that are not in position to hire a brand management company or specialist. They can still feel in touch with the purpose because they are still personally involved in the messaging. It best suited for businesses that have less than 7 social media platforms for their company.

    It is most effective in tracking the marketing efforts of competitors and gathering of information from social media platforms that is turned into actionable knowledge. NapoleonCat upgrades how we serve our customers and by automating social media marketing processes, time is saved so that teams can concentrate on other strategic tasks

    Pros
    Gremln
    • This product is good at publishing. It is very easy to use. It allows me to publish in real time quickly, and I can publish on a schedule if I like. Participating in the conversation is important for staying engaged with existing and potential customers,

    Cons
    Gremln
    • Some of the tools/applications don't work, as it's still a relatively new service.
    • Sometimes contacting support can be frustrating (IE support won't actually explain what is wrong, but just tell you it's not their problem).

    • "Free Trial" functionality will actually charge users straight away depending on the trial button clicked
    • Changes to plan during a billing cycle are not refunded or credited in any way, including attempting to un-do the change. (So moving down and up again between plans, even if both actions occur within seconds of each other, results in getting charged twice...)

    The pro version is cheap. It is relatively easy to use. The recurring tweets are very helpful and not many other services offer that. It is worth paying the monthly price for this feature alone.

    Usability
    Gremln
    The usability on the listening side is poor. The process to set up streams is not very intuitive, involving too many steps. Also, the ability to create custom search streams is fairly well hidden. The reporting is pretty weak as well, with separate click through reports from other types of engagement, and a lot of engagement types within Facebook and Twitter are simply missing.

    NapoleonCat is easy to implement and use. Users can manage all their social media activities from a single online dashboard that also includes reporting. Users can manage posts while on the go using the mobile app.

    Be patient. Identify what you want to know how to do first and learn the basic functions then move onto the more complex features.

    I have used both Hootesuite, Twitterscope and Grmln. Using the individualized brand platform (Twitterscope) still meant that had to separately post to my other networks. Hootesuite is comparable and the only thing that really makes it standout is the the social media management certification. The downside of that is that you have to pay continue to pay a monthly fee to maintain the certification. Grmln is simply easier to use

    Use this service instead... Far more transparent and also supports modern account security features like 2-factor authentication. (Lack of 2fa puts all social profiles in NepoleonCat at increased risk of being hijacked...)

    Return on Investment
    Gremln
    • Gremln has helped us reach way more customers than trying to post separately in each of our social media platforms.
    • We have better customer interaction and feedback after being able to post across many outlets.
    • Employees have more time to focus on answering questions, interacting with customers, etc now that they can set up and monitor posts with Gremln.
