Likelihood to Recommend OnSemble is solving a lot of problems that our organization had prior to its implementation:
We can track communication readership. We can engage with our fellow teammates through chats and recognition. We have a central location for all job-related links. We are just now delving into adding departmental pages so folks can communicate within their teams. I'm not sure of a scenario where OnSemble wouldn't be appropriate - if you have a company that needs to centralize communication, documentation, and share ideas, it's an excellent choice.
Read full review I honestly cannot recommend this tool enough. Opal is such a valuable tool for brand content creators and there is nothing like it available. If you're serious about content marketing and have a need to find ways to collaborate, plan and provide more visibility among teams, then Opal really is the only way to go. One more thing that's not being mentioned: The tool is simply amazing but it's only as amazing is the team behind the tool. Their customer support and willingness to quickly be in touch when needed is a key feature within itself. Seriously, such a good team of people.

Content collaboration: it is really easy to see what other people and teams are contributing to an asset, or how they are using it. We can also duplicate content that was created by another team to use as a starting point in our own content collaboration. High level/big picture overview: Opal allows us to see content that is being created, planned and scheduled very easily; it goes beyond social content (which we can also see in Sprinklr) to show us content created across multiple channels.

Read full review No publishing capabilities, for the most part. No analytics tie-ins. Rather pricey. Requires someone to really manage the structure in order to keep the tool organized and use it effectively. When this is done right, though, it's worthwhile. Read full review Usability As a user: it's pretty intuitive and the only thing holding a user back from getting everything out of it is a lack of curiosity. As an admin: it's not super intuitive. The training and the setup process are crucial to be able to use and maintain the portal, and we still sometimes have questions.
Read full review Support Rating I have always been pleased with my experiences with OnSemble's Support team. First, they have a great library of articles to help me study and guide for many of my questions. But when I cannot quite comprehend, or I "run into the wall", I can be assured that I'll be contacted quickly with a pleasant voice to work through whatever my question/issue may be. Kudos to OnSemble Support!

Percolate and it's said to be a competitor of Opal, but in reality, it's a tool I've struggled with. It's fine for day-to-day scheduling and publishing, but lacks the flexibility and functionality of Opal. Opal really feels like it was built by storytellers where
Percolate feels like it was built purely by an engineering team.
Read full review Return on Investment Streamlined documentation - positive impact. Convenient calendar and access to timeclock - positive impact. Hub for staff to gather everything they may need to successfully assist our members - positive impact.
