Juicer vs. Visually, by Rock Content

Juicer is great for any campaign, hashtag, or event-related website. For example, we've created this website for a friend's event (the "Pirate Summit", and it looks like this https://www.juicer.io/pirate-summit). Also, artists use it a lot, for example, Bon Jovi's official site at https://www.juicer.io/bonjovi. You can also build a lot of stuff around it, and just keep Juicer's aggregated social media feed in an iFrame. Juicer is less well suited if you want to enable actions from social media, e.g. buying a physical product. In these cases, classic e-commerce shops are better suited.

I would be less inclined to recommend Visually to a colleague now than I would have in the past. In the past, highly skilled freelance programmers and designers were more able to get matched with potential clients. Now, things have to go through Visually and creators cannot post their independent work and get matched up independently.

• Juicer allows me the opportunity to set it and forget it so that I can use my valuable time to focus on other things.
• Juicer has allowed us to seamlessly ensure that our social media feed can be found on our website and that it will stay up to date at any given moment.

Incentivized

• Staff picks were a great way of sifting through many pieces of content
• It was easy to share things uploaded to visual.ly to other social media channels
• There is an awesome amount of content on Visually

• There might be one or two social media sources worth adding, e.g. Tripadvisor.

• There is a bias towards infographics (as opposed to 'real' data visualization)
• It is not very clear the path between how people who need content get matched up or find creators
• Interface was redone too often

I haven’t had the first-hand opportunity to try other platforms. Juicer was already being used on our other websites and therefore we’re now utilizing it for the Foundation.

I would recommend other design studios that specialize in data visualization and infographics before visually for a few reasons: - small design studios have an emphasis on the creators (who is part of the studio), whereas Visually is more of a black box because you don't know who is creating your project - Portfolio is okay, but not great, there are many other studios with better looking portfolios One way that Visually is better is that it has an impressive client list and quicker turnaround and maybe more streamlined feedback loops.

• It's very quick to deploy, so no IT/development costs (except putting in a small javascript, which takes 5 minutes).
• Definitely positive ROI, it's much cheaper than other solutions which can cost some times 10x as much.

Incentivized

• Was helpful in attracting clients when I started doing data visualization work
• Cost was minimal - it was free to upload and took little time
• I have been unable to attract clients lately from visually, so ROI has gone to 0
