    Pulsar
    Pulsar is well suited for delivering social listening campaign insights and reporting over a longer period of time. The information and report we create are great... eventually, but it takes a long time to feel like they have gathered enough content that we can readily use. If they were able to speed up the delivery of the data and insights that would be incredibly helpful for our teams in many instances where we have a short runway to providing insights for our clients.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • MutualMind gauges sentiment around social conversations but does so with the standard margin of error found in most social analytics products. The nature of human conversation makes it difficult for a machine to categorize sentiment with 100% accuracy. MutualMind gets sentiment right between 50% to 70% which is within acceptable industry averages for this type of product. With additional tuning (which MutualMind provides) the accuracy levels will increase.

    • Pulsar is awesome. However it would be great if they were able to pull data and insights across a few other social platforms that we know our targets are using.
    • Having easily accessible "Hot To" videos on platform use would have definitely helped us get off the ground faster.
    • They should do away with the need to have to use boolean information in order to access deeper dives into searches.

    Usability

    As a company that's only 3 years old, MutualMind's toolset is quite usable but it could use some tweaks in the user interface, which they are constantly working on.

    Reliability and Availability

    During a recent upgrade period, MutualMind had a small window of unavailability. I am confident they have addressed the root cause and do not foresee any future issues.

    Pulsar
    Pulsar does an excellent job standing up to and standing out from their competition. The thing that attracted us to the platform is its ongoing platform updates and improvements. A lot of SAS platforms get people to sign up and then they don't continue to refine their platform. They don't stay ahead of the curve in delivering leading-edge solutions. Pulsar has continued to modify and expand its solutions. That's really important - especially when you are recommending platform investments for your company... that last thing you want is to talk something up and then it doesn't deliver. Pulsar definitely has delivered.

    • By showing increases in engagement and share of voice (defined as the amount of content generated for our advertisers versus the amount of content generated for their competitors over time) we are able to correlate content to incremental sales data provided by our advertisers.
