If people are regularly sharing your product favorably across social media, this tool will help you automate, segment and display that social content across websites, emails and events. Products as big as destinations can benefit from Stackla all the way down to merchandise such as clothing. Stackla can not benefit your product if your product is not very visual or if people aren't talking about your product.

• 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.

• The UI can generally be confusing, and there are roughly four steps with detailed settings that don't feel intuitive to create one widget.

Support has been a positive experience with quick response times and an extensive knowledgebase and ticketing system.

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.

Minimal experience with CrowdRiff, but the user interface is generally a little more friendly. Stackla was chosen after a thorough R&D process and the potential to partner with our company and industry.
