Chose Mention
Brand24 was my alternative to Mention, I switched back in 2018 because Mention's pricing was going up. While Brand24 is a U.K. based company, I still thought it may be beneficial to me here in the U.S. However, I didn't think about time zone differences and when the support …
Chose Mention
Talkwalker is very similar to Mention. However, Talkwalker found much fewer results for our company. It did find similar results, so there was a crossover, but all the results Talkwalker found, Mention also found. The pricing is also much higher for Talkwalker, with much fewer …
Chose Mention
I like both, for different reasons. I'm more inclined to use Awario for the bulk of my tracking work (including online lead generation) because I have access to a premium plan via a lifetime deal. With an unlimited budget, I may pick Mention.
Chose Mention
Many other tools are large-scale management systems with capabilities to respond. If your focus, however, is more on the monitoring side, then it's not necessary to have such a bulky solution and Mention could be the lightweight solution you need.
Chose Mention
Definitely more affordable than Meltwater for the monitoring side of things. The social monitoring also takes what we want from Hootsuite and provides that coverage as we don't need the social sharing/conversation piece of either. So we're very pleased with the tool overall and …
Chose Mention
Honestly, I did a little research on different competitors, but my budget was very tight. Mention was the best reviewed and had the best reputation based on the price point. It was really an easy decision as all the other software solutions were charging $100s of dollars a …
Chose Mention
Google alerts seems to miss a lot, while Mention does a much better job of getting you all of the info.
Chose Mention
Buffer and Tailwind are different types of products with different services. I use Mention because it provides a service that they do not provide.
Chose Mention
Currently, there are no other tools available with the features that Mention has possible according to our knowledge and experience. We firmly believe that Mention has placed themselves in a category all of their own. In the ten years, our company has been around. We have yet …
Chose Mention
Mention is an all-in-one listening tool. It is designed specifically for that purpose, so you don't fall victim to distractions that other similar products offer.
Chose Mention
We only use Mention as an add-on component to other monitoring services to catch any mention that might have not been seen by the others.
Chose Mention
You can easily miss a notification or an @ response - but you don't miss anything with Mention.

Mention is perfect if you are looking for a fairly inexpensive software that will help you monitor your brand reputation, help you discover SEO opportunities, and potentially help you generate sales revenue. While I know Mention can work with bigger companies, I personally feel this fits the SMB market the best. On the other hand, Mention may not be for you if you have a mega brand and need to see sentiment analysis.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • Mention is an older platform and in this rapidly changing world and "need it now," I'm not feeling it's really there yet.
  • I'm having to create my own social tracking using IFTTT and Zapier to be ahead of the curve. I wish Mention was as fast.

Performance
No answers on this topic
Mention works quickly and its user interface is easy to use. Alerts update regularly and I've never noticed any lag. It integrates with our CRM via Zapier, but this is not something which we use yet. The only thing I would say is that it takes time for Mention to reach its full potential. It only starts to rank influences from when you set up the alert, so it can take a few weeks to build a map of your influencers.

Mention always responded promptly and gave excellent support. Any problem we had with the software, from login trouble to broken features were addressed quickly. There was once a problem with our quota, where we were unable to see results we should have been able to see. We sent an email, and within an hour, the situation was resolved!

Brand24 was my alternative to Mention, I switched back in 2018 because Mention's pricing was going up. While Brand24 is a U.K. based company, I still thought it may be beneficial to me here in the U.S. However, I didn't think about time zone differences and when the support would be available to me. Normally when you have a question, you want it answered right now, but that was a bit of a problem for them. Mention is very quick with support and understanding of their own program.

Return on Investment
No answers on this topic
  • Mention has had a positive impact on my business because it gives people the impression that I was following them, even if I might not have been. It makes me appear active on all social media platforms, even if I ONLY look at my mentions each day!
  • Because I have only used the free plan but have benefitted greatly, I would say that my ROI is fantastic!
  • The only negative impact that Mention has is that I do get a daily email in my inbox, and it is one more thing to check. However, it is worth the time.
