    There needs to be a cost-benefit analysis to determine the value we are getting. Once we are able to see that the advocacy is resulting in sales/registration we can provide a more accurate score.

    I think that Pulsar is a good tool for brands or agencies who have a set list of competitors or subbrands that they are looking to do a monthly/weekly comparison of engagement metrics. When you have the brand account inputted, the data is shown in a visually tangible way and easy to comprehend.

    • Unfortunately, when exporting data it is often hard to read in an easy format.
    • I've used other tools where you can get historical data once you put into the tool but Pulsar cannot do that.

    Unsure whether cost justifies the purchase, or whether Hootsuite as an entire product line will continue to meet our needs

    Pulsar is not a complex tool by any means. The interface is updated and comprehensive, and I've used multiple tools in the past where the interface was very outdated and exporting data was often a difficult process since it was not well organized. The tool works well in visualizing complex data.

    I think that Pulsar is one of the more updated platforms that I have used and the metrics exported/shown in the dashboard are accurate. I think that some tools report inaccurate metrics gathered from social media platforms due to the new APIs, something that often causes confusion and lack of clarity.
