Ipsos Synthesio vs. Planable

It's a very good tool. It covers every need we have for social media listening & monitoring. Bad thing is that those who were selling us the software were not much concerned about costs and were not reducing although there are a lot of market leaders like Sprinklr who are really good with compensation & value addition

It needs the ability to save hashtags. Some of the other tools offer this, so I emailed Planable and asked them to consider adding it.

• Synthesio has an unlimited volume, which helps us to not worry about going over budget. This helps us focus on refining our search to pull in the mentions that have the most value.
• Synthesio has an excellent support team. They are always available to answer any questions we have.

Incentivized

• Plan posts on multiple platforms at once
• Approval workflow

• I’d love better graphics when I pull reports.
• The sentiment data is still inaccurate.
• We are unable to weed out all mentions of the arena associated with the bank.

Incentivized

• Add hashtags in the tool so you can save them for future use

Ben Farkas was the representative that worked with us on this project, while we have been very excited with the work he provided, especially the customer service, we just did not have enough time with the product hands on to be comfortable giving it the 10 we think it deserves. As the Data tracking was done beyond our expectations and the finished product (infographic) were all excellent, we used this service to fill our need in being shorthanded to cover the data ourselves. Synthesio provided outstanding customer service, their data tracking and materials where top notch, just we lacked the hands on experience to speak to everyday use.

It does what you need, but could have a bit more features for the price. $30 a month just to post things on Facebook or Instagram is a bit steep, given that that's all you can do.

Everything we needed was handled, in many cases during the first time we used Synthesio the representative made adjustments and explained them to us, some things we did not even consider when setting up the service.

Emailed them a month ago to add hashtags, but they didn't add the functionality yet. Given that the product has stayed exactly the same since, I'm guessing the developers don't want to add this feature so I give the support a rating of 1.

I have used Meltwater, Hootsuite for the same tracking purpose. Every tool has it own pros and cons. The best way to decide is go by the reviews of the people who have actually used it. Budget is yet another factor to consider.

Cheaper, however, Kontentino does have the ability to save hashtags.

• It has helped us understanding the on going topics on our social page quite well.
• Really helped us in community management in due time for social accounts. Saved a lot of clicks and time as well as resources.
• Employees feel really happy with the tool because it lets them do the work fast and securely.

Incentivized

• Ability to post on any social media platform with 1 click. It adjusts the layout for you, pictures, adding action buttons, etc.
