Social Suite by Reputation.com vs. SentiOne vs. Sysomos, now part of Meltwater

It's great at visualizing mentions of the brand/industry terms you've chosen to monitor, as well as information on the people who are using those terms. Automated email reports also help save time vs manually compiling and sending them. We haven't yet used the Facebook Audience analysis feature (costs extra), but it looks very useful.

SentiOne is one of the best available platforms in the market dealing in customer automation on AI level to help businesses grow. We are very much impressed by their services, all in all as they are offering the best possible solutions to every problem which makes it more reliable and trusted in order to handle business.

Sysomos Expion is best suited, in my opinion, to offices where either you have only one moderator/manager OR where multiple users plan to manage a specific channel. Without live updates, it gets far too complicated for multiple users to manage the exact same workload

• Reporting feature allows you to build unique, detailed reports based on your preferences
• Social stream allows you to see updates in real time and has a very attractive view
• Customer service is always helpful, responsive, and attentive
• Dashboard is very inviting and appealing

• The platform easily measures social media, blogs, posts worldwide using different algorithms, collects public mentions, and automatically analyzes the situation then provides a customizable solution that will have more chances to get accepted and will work fine.
• It has the best features to be the best in terms of functionalities and features include in it.
• Daily report feature is also very intuitive.

• Sysomos Heartbeat: the proactive social media monitoring software. The dashboard was efficient and minimalist, and provided detailed reporting on where the social conversation was held for each individual hotel. The rich data and the simplicity of the dashboard made this tool particularly useful and easy to implement -- it was also easier to train new employees with the software.
• Sysomos Heartbeat: We also used it to keep track of any crisis that arose. The tool made it easy to catch any spikes in conversation that would spread rapidly either across one channel or multiple channels.
• Customer Service: Our hotels receive lots of inquiries, requests, payments, and reviews through various social channels. Sysomos helped keep track of them.

• It would be nice to have a more aggregate way to delete unrelated mentions and change sentiment on mislabeled mentions. Right now, you have to scroll through the "Back" and "Next" pages to look at different time ranges, and it can take a long time to clear them all.
• One thing that we suggested a while ago but never got an update on was to be able to change sentiment/delete mentions from a specific time. We noticed that during one of our ad-hoc projects, there was a big pocket of unrelated mentions in one particular evening. Instead of being able to lump these mentions together and delete them, we had to do the above method of searching for these mentions and deleting a few at a time.

• Customer support of SentiOne is not up to mark.
• They need to be more accessible and responsive to our questions instead of making us hold for hours and do not provide any solution which is tiring and less professional.
• Customer support needs a lot of attention and has more knowledge about the platform to be helpful.

• Their influencer/klout score algorithm is worthless - it caps out at 10 so the New York Times and Jo Schmo gamer dude and Justin Bieber all have the same score.
• The Boolean builder can be frustrating, it will tell you there is an error, but gives you no indication of where. In a complex string it can take forever to figure out what you messed up.
• Twitter listening only goes back one year. If you ever need to compare something year over year, without anticipating the need in advance and downloading reports, you're screwed.

I have just gotten out of my contract and NUVI was very nice to extend more help to me in finding out ways the tool could be useful, but at this point, I declined as I've already spent months using it and still having difficulty. Perhaps for some other businesses or people, this is the perfect tool, just didn't work for me

There are two differentiating features that Sysomos MAP has that the competitor tools I have experienced (Radian6, Meltwater Buzz) did not: user-friendly Boolean queries for searches and near-real-time results. The former is important because, of course, your results are only as good as your search/campaign. With Sysomos, once you master Boolean queries (which isn't terribly difficult) you're set for creating any kind of listening report. I strongly prefer this to the "campaign creator" forms that other services provide. Second, Sysomos MAP returns results almost immediately - like a Google search. So if you get your results and see that you need to tweak your query - no big deal. Or if you have a last-minute request for a client - not an issue. Meltwater can take up to 48 hours for a search to fully populate. This is a major issue if you get your full set of results back and see that you need to adjust the query; you're looking at another two days of wait time. A long wait on results can also prove problematic in agency settings where clients or prospective clients often need results with a quick turnaround.

I just love to use this amazing software.

The product is very easy to use. The platform is visual and data is easy to read. Boolean construction can sometimes be difficult, but the boolean constructor tool is helpful for boolean beginners. For more experienced boolean constructors, the boolean display at the top is very helpful in identifying where there may be holes in the construction

The system is typically pretty fast and easily accesible. Due to contract restrictions, our team sometimes has issues with overlap in usage (we only have one login to share amongst the team).

If searching over longer time frame, it can take a while to return results. SOmetimes as long as two to three minutes.

It is very supportive. I am a very contented user.

Unfortunately, we have not had a great experience with customer support from Klear. In the sales process, they were very responsive and helpful, but when onboarded, it definitely changed. We are based in the US and our customer service rep is based in Israel, meaning our work hours barely overlap. Oftentimes we're waiting 24+ hours for a response, and when it's a time-sensitive issue (like the platform not pulling in Instagram Story data) we want it to be resolved as quickly as possible. Klear also has a chat feature for more immediate help, but we've experienced a similar situation there where it takes 12+ hours to get a response and it's usually from our customer service rep. Our rep is very nice, but also doesn't seem very knowledgeable about the platform, and usually can't provide an immediate answer to a question we ask and has to "check with her team."

We had a kick-off training with the whole team where they walked us through the functionality. This was a pretty effective and comprehensive training.

Implementation was so easy I dont even remember it!

NUVI and NetBase have mostly similar features, except for specific graphs offered by NetBase. Unless you need to do a lot of competitor trend/sentiment analysis in one graph, then you do not need to pay the huge price difference that is NetBase. You can create as many monitors as you like in NUVI, which is an easy way to track competitor conversation and compare to your own brand. You can't export charts the same way, but you can learn the same information. NUVI delivers tremendous value for the price and is a highly regarded tool.

SentiOne is a major part of our organization. We are solving a lot of problems in the organization by using SentiOne. It has been operational in our organization for a long time and has a great find for us all in all. I like that feature that it gives me all information about new mentions to my inbox every day and informs me about it which gives day-to-day insights, change or update strategies.

Sysomos MAP is focused on listening (not management of social media accounts - features exist, but these are not the core purpose). It does a great job of measuring open networks, particularly Twitter, and a good job of monitoring mainstream press sites. For the most part it scales well, and the user-interface is relatively user-friendly, which allows us to decentralize use (important for a very large organization). Not the most expensive of the pack either.

• Efficiency - Weekly reporting has dropped from a few hours to roughly 30 minutes. Audience segmentation studies have dropped from a month to two weeks.
• ROI - NUVI is generally cheaper than most competitors. It's increased my margins.
• Happier clients - With greater efficiency comes faster turn around times and happier clients.

• The best feature that I like the most and have been using for a long time that its analytical section is up to mark.
• When I open the analytical section it gives me the all insights of my audience including their gender, location, days when most of the mentions are published which is great to have. It is best to have more marketing wins as it does not limit the searches of keywords.
• This helps to search multiple phrases connected with a marketing strategy which is life and most recent in trends.

• Lowered costs and overhead when Expion got introduced as we now use one centralized solution for all of our social media work
• We can finally calculate ROI with ease and understand our campaign performance through proper tracking and analytics
• Competition tracking was never easier
