User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
Roeder Studios Inc.
  • Edgar works best if you already have enough (or plan on keep adding more) evergreen content to avoid too much repetition. This will of course be dependent on the frequency of your schedule as well as how refined your categories are.
  • Edgar works for Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn currently, and it doesn't seem like they will be adding more networks in the near future.

This appliance is well suited for organizations that have a need to monitor, moderate, or log social networking site use or the use of any website. It is a very solid tool for any information security department to have at their disposal.

Smarsh
  • Discovery: It allows for easy discoveries by the compliance and cyber security departments.
  • Ethical walls: This keeps certain departments from talking to each other.
  • Very granular control. This is a big product meaning you can get very detailed with it.
  • Once it's configured and running, we hardly ever have any issues.

Cons
Roeder Studios Inc.
  • The reporting is very limited. There's no dashboards or easy way to track how your posts are performing.
  • Honestly, that's the only recommendation I have—everything else works great!

  • Its configuration options were very large and required a good deal of time to learn all of the various settings.

Alternatives Considered
Roeder Studios Inc.
In terms of evergreen content promotion, Buffer and AgoraPulse offer very basic functionalities in this regard. We were looking for something that would enable us to categorize our evergreen content and Edgar is the only product on the market then that does this. We no longer need to manually re-post anything and only need to focus on content-creation. It is worth noting that we are still using Buffer in conjunction with MeetEdgar, where the former takes care of our new content while the latter will continually share the best content of the bunch.

This was the only appliance of its kind that I have used. Other devices have different capabilities for web filtering such as the checkpoint firewalls, but none of them offered the overall solution that was deployed with this product at that time.

Return on Investment
Roeder Studios Inc.
  • Takes out so much of the guesswork of posting at the best times. It uses the best general times and then uses your own post data to adjust to optimal times specifically for your business.
  • Measures engagement on your posts so that you know what content is the most effective
  • Helps me track my measurement goals through reporting.
