GroSocial (Discontinued Product) vs. NewzSocial

They built their platform largely on contests. They still do a fairly good job on these

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.

• When Infusionsoft purchased GroSocial it seemed like product development ceased. Many other companies surpassed their abilities.
• They are very expensive for what they offer. Many other companies now offer better platforms, for far less.
• When there was an issue (ie in a campaign, or link broke etc) the support team would blame the client first, when in most cases it could be proven to be a software malfunction.
• Tabs are no longer smart phone friendly. When we stopped using GroSocial they had not set up the redirect link at that time. This may have changed now.
• When you manage multiple accounts, your client could stop your access to their account. They could then stop paying for the service, and their tabs would still be live. GroSocial is the only one who could disable the tabs. It was not automatic.

• 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.

GroSocial quite simply does not stack up to the competition. They are years behind in development. We have moved all our clients to other platforms.

• 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.
