LiftMetrix (discontinued) vs. Radarr

The free trial is a good option for start-up businesses or nonprofits. You are limited to 3 accounts and 5 scheduled posts, but you can save drafts ahead, then schedule after some are posted. The paid version is nice but higher price point for start-ups. I can't remember if the insights are useful.

Radarr is best suited for businesses that need to reach out to their target audience across multiple digital channels; it really helps track how effective the campaigns are and even improve on them based on what users tend to engage with the most on each platform. It can help streamline strategies.

• Custom filter comparisons
• organic vs paid insights
• easy to digest suggestions moving forward

• Helps us track online conversations in an industry/ around a topic
• Helps us track trending topics/ themes to include in content marketing strategies
• Helps us analyze the response to the content created for different digital channels

• The tagging feature could be improved. It currently does not map well to Hootsuite Enterprise's publishing dashboard and requires manually mapping on the back end to connect the two systems.
• We pay separately for Hootsuite Ads. Hootsuite Impact could better integrate with the Ads platform to get a holistic view of paid and free campaigns.
• There are a lot of different sections in the platform--for recommendations, insights, dashboards, etc. You can also search things by saving filtered searches and applying those filters to other areas of the platform. How these things work together isn't always clear or intuitive.

• Would love to have a topic generator in-built

Hootsuite Impact is far easy to use, both in setup and in pulling reports, than Adobe Social was for us. The visualizations make data far easier to read, and being able to quickly filter through mentions has helped us to be more nimble when pulling reports.

Radarr brings you more comprehensive data and covers more digital platforms. In times when it is important to be present where your audience is and reach out to them at the right time, with the right message, that comprehensive view of data is what can help strategize better and run campaigns effectively. Also, love the visualization of data; that makes it all easy to understand.

• The time savings for posting has positive ROI by adding leverage.
• They send emails offering a free upgrade trial but didn't say it was only for first-time users. When I tried that, they charged me for the whole year. Luckily they did refund the cost ($588) and moved back to the free version. That was a shock to see on my card.
• This was a helpful step for my business.

• Better understanding of the target audience
• Better organic campaign reach
• Better audience engagement and response rate
