SAS 360 Plan vs. TVEyes

Simply put, TVEyes is a wonderful monitoring suite that enables us to quickly access broadcast clips from campaigns we run on behalf of our clients. It's far more efficient than the old-school tape delivery companies, but it does have room for improvement. If you're running a campaign that's likely to result in broadcast coverage, TVEyes is probably the best option for monitoring and reporting. The same holds true if you are running a paid media campaign that includes added-value broadcast elements.

• Create and manage a detailed plan for a marketing campaign: when you create detailed project plans and then task and role levels, SAS Marketing Operations Management (SAS MOM) makes it easier to coordinate between projects with very little, if any, issues.
• Share, reuse and leverage existing marketing assets: Like some marketing tools, SAS MOM allows you to create and reuse assets across various channels.
• Manage project collaboration and execution: You are allowed to set up a workflow that helps move processes along without having to manage each step of the project.

Incentivized

• TVEyes has a powerful search function that allows us to narrow searches for specific clients and/or campaigns by keyword.
• TVEyes affords us the ability to access and download a clip with relative ease, no matter what market or station the clip is from.
• TVEyes provides metrics for the sake of reporting, which enables us to quickly provide insights to clients on the success of a campaign.

Incentivized

• It would be good to have a Storyboard feature to summarize and tie together some of the dashboard metrics.
• Missing feature: Hubspot CRM integration.

Incentivized

• The clip editing feature, while useful and important, is fairly clunky. There could be an improvement in the way you fine-tune what you need.
• Downloading clips is a multi-step process that could be far less involved.

TVEyes offers better pricing and easier access when compared to the Critical Mention platform. It's also easier to use and faster. Cision and Meltwater just don't offer the same depth of access to coverage as TVEyes. TrendKite is a complementary piece of software we use in-house for media monitoring, and they just partnered with TVEyes for broadcast coverage, so there's a lot of consistency in what we're monitoring and reporting.

Incentivized

• It's essential to be able to share coverage with clients, and clients can be impatient. TVEyes gives us the ability to access and share a clip quickly. That keeps clients happy.
• The cost of the subscription is fairly low in exchange for the ability to access a universal broadcast coverage platform like TVEyes.
