Hootsuite's ability to post to all the channels we need is far above what Meltwater offered. Hootsuite also goes above and beyond in the category of analytics too. Hootsuite's custom report is far more detailed and easily digestible than Meltwater's. I would say that Hootsuite …
We actually use Hootsuite's classroom program along with Meltwater and Google Analytics. By selecting Hootsuite in concert with either Meltwater or Brandwatch, and (at times) Facebook Insights, students can get the real-world feeling of how brands and businesses choose the …
Meltwater is much more expensive, however, it provides vast more analytics than Hootsuite. Meltwater is excellent for really large corporations that have someone dedicated to analytics all the time.
Tried Meltwater Buzz / Jitterjam, Sysomos and Sprout Social. Use HootSuite Enterprise to listen and engage with Facebook and Twitter profiles only. Currently using HootSuite Enterprise in conjunction with Radian6 and Simply Measured for analytics.
They are both similar and different. Similar in that they provide analytics, but different in the type of analytics and tracking. I thnk that I enjoy Hootsuite a little more than Meltwater because it was easier to use. This probably stemmed from the fact that it was just a …
The only other monitoring services I have used live within social media channels including Facebook analytics, Twitter analytics and Instagram analytics. I also use Hootsuite to manage and monitor all social channels almost exclusively. These are simple programs, that can be …
While we use Google and Hootsuite as part of our class education, Meltwater's platform is our go-to every semester. Meltwater provides a dashboard that makes it easy for the new and/or experienced user to understand the data, share it with a class or group, and offers room for …
Meltwater serves as an all-in-one platform, so it has benefitted us greatly in being able to service a variety of needs in one place. Having a streamlined platform is important to our team since it can feel counterproductive to visit a variety of products to service one …
I have tried several platforms but continue coming back to Meltwater. Even though we are a national company, I like the global reach that Meltwater offers.
We love Meltwater for all the extra features, with the abilities to customize. A lot of other PR software doesn't allow for that kind of drill-down, so I really appreciate that from Meltwater.
You can't customize your email templates as well as in Constant Contact or MailChimp. The analytics with meltwater are a great way to see what types of journalists are opening your press releases, instead of just an email address. Also, with the other two, you need to have a …
I have only ever used Hootsuite previously for social media planning and scheduling but that did not allow for listening or analysis options so can't really be compared.
