My company exists within the Hospitality & Tourism industry where we provide Marketing and Event Planning services. SAP Cloud for Social Engagement helps me gain insight into how my vendors and clients feel about my company's brands, categories, products and services while remaining up-to-date with current market issues and trends.

Vista Social
Vista Social is well-suited for small to mid-sized teams that manage multiple social platforms and need to handle messages, comments, and mentions efficiently from a single inbox, while automating to reduce manual work. It may be less appropriate for very large enterprises that require highly customized reporting or complex approval workflows across large, distributed teams.

Pros
SAP
  • Communication with multiple social media accounts including Facebook,Twitter and LinkedIn.
  • Utilize social preconfigured templates to respond quickly to current and potential clients.
  • Go above and beyond the number of Twitter followers and Facebook likes. Gain real-time insight into key trends and topics being discussed.

  • The design and layout of the site is simple, with the options to click through the different tools on the left hand side of the page. What I liked most about Vista Social is the ability to combine all the different tools that a social media manager needs into one platform.
  • I typically use various different apps and platforms to write down notes, assign tasks to different team members, and look at my overall content calendar for the month. It is brilliant that Vista Social is able to combine all of these into one platform.
  • When first signing up to Vista Social and exploring the platform, each page offers you a walkthrough of all of the tools available to you, which is really handy, as well as a customer support section on the right bottom hand corner.

  • I think the price is quite high compared to hiring a person for the same task. This may put one off from purchasing as with a bit more time you can do the same job yourself or with an employee for much less
  • In my opinion, the interface is rather complicated visually and doesn't have an appeal. It is cramped with so many features that provide a sense of confusion whilst starting off
  • In my experience, the tutorials do leave a few questions afterwards regarding set up and this can take more time to figure out by yourself.

The SAP solution is more complete than others because it includes capabilities for social media listening, real-time social media message response, social profiles and history, and analytics in one system.

Vista Social
While they all offer basic scheduling and publishing, Vista Social stands out by combining content creation (with Canva), AI-powered captions, inbox management, task organization, and performance tracking , all in one platform. It saves time and gives me more control, without needing to jump between multiple tools.

  • The DM automation feature means we're not missing out on important messages when we're off the clock (after hours essentially), which is a huge advantage in hospitality where response time is everything.
  • In most cases, time is money, and being able to manage all our platforms from one place has cut down hours of switching between apps and tabs. That in itself has boosted our company's productivity and allowed the team to respond faster to guests and potential leads.
  • The real-time insights and mentions helps us tweak content and react to trends quicker, which has increased our visibility and bookings.
