    No matter how specialized the integration or how much support for internal services was provided throughout the creation of the solution, Leadspace support was always available and extremely prompt in helping to smooth out any issues that developed during the setup process.

    Meltwater is well-suited for agencies that have an engagement team who is looking to service a variety of client needs such as social media reporting, public relations outreach, and community management. If you're looking to have a platform serve just one need, you can still use Meltwater but will get more bang for your buck if you are needing a variety of tools.

    Pros
    Leadspace
    • It is simple to use and comprehend.
    • It enables data collection and analysis.
    • It leads to growth and development. It applies to both contacts and accounts.
    • It can enrich data based on company and individual, allowing businesses to better plan and execute.

    • Media research - you can search for relevant publications and journalists to add to your media list.
    • Earned media coverage - you can search for coverage of your brand and find news stories that also include data that may be useful (how many people did the story reach for example).
    • Building media lists - if you have no current existing list, you can build and export one in Excel for example.

    Cons
    Leadspace
    • In the form selection, if a company name does not exist in the database, the lead can choose "not me" then that actual data value overwrites what they originally put. In the future, if they choose not me to default to the lead entered data value. This is something they know and I'm told they are working on it.

    • The dashboards are not user-friendly, customizable (color, font size, etc.), or worthy of presenting to a client. All of the insights from a dashboard get pulled from the platform and placed into a more client-friendly presentation.
    • Paywalls for certain publications connected to who-knows-what. DowJones racket limits media monitoring capabilities and results in manual searches for a growing number of publications.
    • TVeyes, the broadcast monitoring arm of the media monitoring capabilities, just needs TLC and to become more client-facing. Currently, the links produced to share clips look sketchy, and they have a relatively short shelf life.

    Meltwater works well for our organization and has allowed us to meet our internal goals. We are always open to new products and services that may be able to provide similar or better features; however, our experience has been that many of Meltwater's competitors are not up to the task.

    Once you get some basic training it's pretty easy to use. I would like to see training manuals, or instructional videos to help me explore features I'm not currently using.

    Our account rep at Meltwater went dark for a long time. Then, a couple of weeks ago, our new account manager reached out to set up a meeting. Apparently, they had a big shakeup in the company, and there were some personnel changes. Our new account rep was great in discussing the platform's capabilities that were available to us and even offered to schedule a follow-up meeting with his technical team to introduce our new social media team members to the platform and how it could help them with their jobs.

    1. This tool and database trumped others because of the flexible way in which they reported the data. 2. The team is helpful in figuring out our needs to give us the information we were looking for. 3. Their Account team is very helpful, responsive & fun to work. 4. It helps us create lookalike profiles and provide us with account and contact data that fit

    I was looking for a full-service option. I did some research. What really sold me was the presentation. They offered products that were helpful, and I wasn’t even aware of them. It is more expensive than the other products that are out there, but you get more. The other companies are good, but Meltwater Media Intelligence is more full service.

    Return on Investment
    Leadspace
    • We were able to capture new leads for our sales team and also new subscribers of our e-newsletters through email marketing campaigns. We also noticed an increase in our web traffic (corporate website) after we started using Reachforce.
    • More customers took notice of our digital marketing efforts after we started using Reachforce.

    • As a PR firm, we rely on the media databases that [Meltwater Media Intelligence Platform] supplies to deliver the media exposure that they expect from us.
    • We utilize their tracking of media hits for our overall reporting to our clients.
    • Both of these are advantageous in helping us to not only keep our existing clients happy but also to gain new clients (and, in turn - revenue), as well.
