Percolate is the only software I used so far, which allowed me to create marketing campaigns.

The free version of Hootsuite does not support the approval process so that did not work for our organization. Percolate was much more user friendly than Spredfast, has a more streamlined calendar view, and has more reporting features for data analysis. The approval workflow …

Percolate and Falcon have many similarities and provide many of the same features, however Percolate felt a bit more robust than Falcon, although it does come with a higher price tag to match. Both platforms are excellent for content approval workflows, content scheduling, and …

Social publishing tools are very good, better than competitors. Percolate is constantly adding new features and functionality and can manage the workload and storage that Domo can’t.

Everything is better than Percolate. It is better than the free version of HootSuite.
Chose Percolate, now part of Seismic
Percolate provided a more robust portfolio of offerings in the social space. We felt that although Percolate was not the cheapest, that it provides the most value to our social strategy and has been instrumental in getting us to the place we are now.

Percolate has much more functionality than Social Studio. Social Studio is really only meant to be used as a social publishing platform. Percolate does social publishing much better, has a great file management system, has a calendar for more than just social, and has the …

I was trained on Percolate from the time I started my position.
Chose Percolate, now part of Seismic
Three major areas separate Percolate from the competition in my POV:
  • They view themselves as truly, an all-in-one SaaS model. Other large, enterprise platforms, like Sprinklr, have the old a la carte approach to their platforms. Everything is extra. Every new addition or …

I have used tools like Hootsuite and Trello to manage social media and different tasks and activities respectively. Trello is a great tool to keep track of your projects and campaigns. Unfortunately, Percolate is not that sophisticated. Percolate is slow compared to Trello and …

Percolate is more robust and user-friendly than other tools we've used. The collaborative feature in particular was very attractive, and made it stand out for us against products like Sprout Social. The photo editing tool is also very useful and superior to tools that are …

The main features that attracted us to Percolate were the editorial calendar and the multimedia database. Additionally, the ability to take content beyond the usual social channels and interface with Wordpress AND bring in (paid) third party content made the purchase choice …

Very useful for the management, planning, and programming of all social networks, as well as marketing campaigns. One of the best tools to make life easier for community managers and automate daily tasks such as content publishing. It is my favorite for managing my clients' networks.

Cons
Discontinued Products
  • A lot of the features in Percolate are very well built, but only provide the bare minimum as features go. Its editorial calendar for example lacks export/import features and its multimedia repository only supports images. In many ways, Percolate is trying very hard to be too much at the same time.
  • At the moment, Percolate lacks user level management. We can add users who need to be moderated before posting, but it is for example not possible to add users just for one specific function (like the multimedia database).

Percolate is a great tool for us, because we need the approval process workflows. The training was great when we first signed on, and the interface is very user friendly. We have trained our interns to use it as well with no issues. It makes keeping up with our content calendar a breeze and we can easily see what posts have been approved and which ones are still pending at a quick glance

Rarely has a company shown this much support during implementation. This almost got to the point where it was too much hand holding. Sometimes, social teams just want the keys to the car so they can drive it themselves instead of waiting on someone to drive along with them...

Percolate and Falcon have many similarities and provide many of the same features, however Percolate felt a bit more robust than Falcon, although it does come with a higher price tag to match. Both platforms are excellent for content approval workflows, content scheduling, and community management. Percolate offers additional features such as an Asset Management Library and a section for creative briefs and collaboration with internal teams.
