Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review Samepage is well suited to situations: - when there is a need for ongoing collaboration between people - when these people lack tech skills - when there is a need for sharing and showing different kinds of media Samepage is less appropriate in situations (since there are better tools for those particular uses): - requiring more robust communication tools - when the objective is to execute a specific, finite task - when it is necessary a precise control of version history
Read full review Pros Content planning: you can look at one asset and see how it is being used across multiple channels by multiple teams. 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.

The mobile app works well and I like how it syncs with the desktop version. Just discovered the Dropbox sync. Very cool. Works way better than Dropbox at sharing files!

Read full review Cons 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.

Task chat can also have a save option to take notes of important messages. Read full review Support Rating Samepage support is incredibly active and responsive! They work with you from the outset to make sure you are set up for success and understand all the features

Read full review I have used many project management and collaboration tools and everyone has its kicks and fall backs. But for the kind of collaboration we require with our external parties right now, we really enjoy collaborating on Samepage. With Sharepoint, we were always running into access issues with our external vendors and it was a hassle to adjust those user settings. However since we started with Samepage, both our team members and external party vendor have been happily collaborating.
Read full review Return on Investment Opal allows for more discipline in marketing as teams are better aligned on messaging and big moments. Opal cuts down on communication breakdowns and mistakes, which in the end leads to more happy customers. I think Opal provides the team with more confidence as everyone is on the same page. With everything in one place rather than communications being lost in emails, etc., everyone is more efficient and can work knowing that there is one source of truth. Read full review It definitely has a positive return on investment. We were looking for someone who can help with these. It can be used very well for project management, task management, mass communication, and secured documentation. Read full review ScreenShots
