    Maropost
    Maropost is a little more expensive than its competitors. I'd say Maropost is well suited for medium and larger businesses, not small businesses unless they're really good at utilizing e-mail and monetizing it.

    Very useful for the management, planning, and programming of all social networks, as well as marketing campaigns. One of the best tools to make life easier for community managers and automate daily tasks such as content publishing. It is my favorite for managing my clients' networks.

    Pros
    Maropost
    • Maropost is particularly strong in the customization aspect. As a sales person, I love using MSC because I can customize everything from A-Z.
    • The features are endless, a personal fav is the Journey's feature with Marketing Cloud.
    • Client support is quick to respond.

    • Create social content from briefing all the way through to the approval process.
    • Social planner for managing topics and content streams across multiple channels.
    • Robust API and integrations.
    • Image library (with cost-free access/rights to stock photo libraries).
    • Frequent updates to the platform.
    • Built-in community management.

    Cons
    Maropost
    • The Sales Department shouldn't promise the customer what support can't deliver on.
    • They should also brush up on some ethics courses. It's appalling to me how they conduct business. Buyer beware.

    • A lot of the features in Percolate are very well built, but only provide the bare minimum as features go. Its editorial calendar for example lacks export/import features and its multimedia repository only supports images. In many ways, Percolate is trying very hard to be too much at the same time.
    • At the moment, Percolate lacks user level management. We can add users who need to be moderated before posting, but it is for example not possible to add users just for one specific function (like the multimedia database).

    Percolate is a great tool for us, because we need the approval process workflows. The training was great when we first signed on, and the interface is very user friendly. We have trained our interns to use it as well with no issues. It makes keeping up with our content calendar a breeze and we can easily see what posts have been approved and which ones are still pending at a quick glance

    Support Rating
    Maropost
    Though relatively responsive, the responses were always utterly unhelpful and sometime not even relevant to the questions we asked. It quickly became apparent that it was outsourced copy/paste support.

    Rarely has a company shown this much support during implementation. This almost got to the point where it was too much hand holding. Sometimes, social teams just want the keys to the car so they can drive it themselves instead of waiting on someone to drive along with them...

    Maropost had everything we needed and more. We loved that fact that one price covered everything. As we move forward we don't have to go back and purchase modules that we are now ready for. No one wants to go back to management and ask for more money

    Percolate and Falcon have many similarities and provide many of the same features, however Percolate felt a bit more robust than Falcon, although it does come with a higher price tag to match. Both platforms are excellent for content approval workflows, content scheduling, and community management. Percolate offers additional features such as an Asset Management Library and a section for creative briefs and collaboration with internal teams.

    Return on Investment
    Maropost
    • Lack of data and information about our users that we can use to get smarter in our segmentation hurts us in that we lose branded deals or partnerships.
    • Takes too much time to export reports and gain attrition reporting information, manually preparing reports is not a good use of time for anyone on our team.

    • Percolate has made it much easier to communicate between teams and has provided a return on investment in that area in particular.
    • Percolate also helps save time because you are able to schedule social media posts across channels easily.
    • It has also been an easy way to work with remote team members, which is very helpful.
