Percolate, now part of Seismic vs. UpContent

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.

UpContent is effective for helping you:

• Gather information several different content sources
• Leverage curated content with social media, email newsletters, and on your website to help you provide audiences with important information
• Curate content topics by vertical for use in ABM -- you can give reps topic hubs to keep themselves up-to-date. Plus, it's a great way for them to find content to use as "conversation starters with their prospects.

I love that UpContent integrates with HubSpot, Rasa.io, SocialBee and other tools that we use on a daily basis.

• 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).

• I'd like an option to use UpContent to curate content into a blog post -- to make it easy to do "news round-up" type posts.

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.

Scoop.it allows you to create blog posts that pertain to a specific piece of curated content. This is not a feature in UpContent.
