Narvar vs. Qualtrics XM for Customer Frontlines

If you're not on a platform that has a branded post-purchase landing page or in-email estimated delivery date script, Narvar provides this experience. It's a nice-to-have for any brand that wants to provide a seamless, branded shopping experience for their customers. Narvar's grown rapidly and it seems they are increasing costs, which may be prohibitive and hard to justify for smaller companies.

I give CX Social a 9 out of 10 because while it has its cons as any software or solution does. It is an overall unique and efficient Marketing and Social Media Management solution. They have a very fast improving rate so are practically receiving new features and is a very good tool for large companies with lots of social accounts to manage.

• Narvar offered us a turn-key solution that we had up and running in less than a month.
• Narvar offered several out of the box widgets (solutions) to help build/customize content (calendar view, milestone icons, SMS messaging and personalize content based on items purchased).
• Narvar's solution is scalable/expandable to include returns (once we are ready).

• CX Social is great for small scale social media management. The reporting and analytics platform is really impressive tapping it to some key metrics and making it relatable to specific campaigns.
• The data that Engagor shows about the performance of the users and team is incredibly precise and accurate.
• They also have an extremely good vendor for service support.
• It has a unique ability to combine customer engagement, social media monioring and analytics features for customer service and marketing.

• Pricing is much more expensive than competitors.
• UI Design is often lacking.

• While customer support is good, I have seen better. But no big issue, as the analytics is excellent and it gets the job done.
• CX Social is a great tool but is also an expensive tool, so unless you are a huge agency with lots of accounts, I believe the fee will not be justified.
• Needs more detailed Response Time per user in Engagor and The interface could use more personalized settings: certain people and groups usually use the same filters and tags.

Once it's set up, it doesn't require much support. We used to have quarterly or bi-annual touch bases with an account person to review our rating and customer usage but haven't heard from them in a while - either because we're too small or they got rid of this interaction. Can't say we miss it though because we can see our rating and feedback, and there is only so much you can do within the confines of the platform without adding on new functionality.

At the time, Narvar had no other competitors to my knowledge. We looked at building this functionality in house which had a 3 month estimate. Everyone involved happily welcomed the tool.

While Sprout Social is a very good tool. CX Social is a bit more advanced and equipt to manage a large number of accounts and delivers far better data. CX Social has a far better dashboard and interface that is simple to access and use. It is more efficient than Sprout Social and their statistic module is better as well.

• Not sure we could attribute ROI to this tool.

• CX Social has enabled me to increase my client list by 5 percent as opposed to last year. My existing clients are so satisfied with their social accounts and monthly reports that they are eager to send consistently profitable referrals which my company has turned in to a 5 percent margin increase in profits.
• I have no bad reports about this Marketing tool. While it does has its cons as stated earlier. It is yet a very dependable and effective solution that delivers as aspected.
• It has been the most dependable Marketing and Social Media Management tools I have ever used.
