    Sendible
    I have a fairly straightforward use case for Sendible and it meets almost all of my needs. If you are a small company that needs a collaborative solution to social media content creation, and likely has a small team (or no team) to manage social media postings, I think Sendible is likely a great tool to schedule posts and largely automate social media marketing. A larger company or more involved marketing team could still use Sendible to schedule and collaborate on posts. However, there may be additional features they may want or need (like the ability to promote posts) that may not be available with Sendible.

    SOCi is a fantastic tool for a franchise business because it provides the ability to post in bulk while also posting localized content. So, you can share the same basic content across all of your locations, but SOCi's tagging system inserts a location's phone number or website for each individual location. This helps create a localized feel and personalized touch -- but you only schedule one post, making it easy and efficient to localize content in mass posting. This principle applies to paid ads as well. Because of these features, SOCi may not be the best platform for companies with just one location

    Pros
    Sendible
    • Easy to schedule and post to all of your social media platforms.
    • Customer support is very accommodating and always there to help. I have never had an issue with reaching someone whether it was for a quick question or to demo other features.
    • They have an awesome affiliate program (example: I earned over $600 from one company clicking through an signing up from my affiliate link - yay!)
    • Compared to other social media platforms, Sendible has been the most robust with features and ease of use.
    • They are always making advances and upgrades to their service offerings to better meet the needs of their customers.

    • Firstly, as a user of Brandify, I am really fond of their after-sales support services because as a user these services matter a lot.
    • Brandify has made the work so much easier as it avoids spending time looking for better options.
    • It is very helpful platform for the growth of a company.
    • Its analysis helps us in foreseeing situations that can be either good or bad and ensure that we think of a possible solution.

    Cons
    Sendible
    • Inbox. The inbox of incoming messages/posts is very clunky. Threads are separated into individual messages, making it difficult to follow conversations.
    • Reporting. The included reporting features are limited and don't allow for enough customization to be worth using.
    • Hashtags. When discussing the 10 most common mistakes (or whatever the title might be), we are unable to say "You won't believe #3" because the system reads this as a hashtag to link rather than just a number. It adds on editing time when approving posts.
    • Default settings. As a Social Media Manager, it is annoying to have myself set as default when looking at the content calendar. I don't write the posts, just approved and schedule them, so manually entering in my writers' names in the filters could be made easier by making this an editable feature.
    • Instagram. You cannot post multiple images in a single Instagram post from Sendible.
    • Service Lists. They are supposed to be helpful in grouping your services (we do this by brand), however, these lists don't pull the information you put on individual services. So if I have a list with Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest for Brand A, you can't just add the Brand A Service List filter onto the calendar and see all of those posts that are scheduled. They don't seem to have much purpose at all.

    • Their analytics are sub-par to other tools that I use.
    • Their website can be a little clunky until you learn to navigate it.
    • It takes a long time to be fully on-boarded and running on the platform with all information syncing together.

    If I am given a larger budget to work with then I'd like a program that tracks and collects my PR hits, as well as sends me important info to respond to. I realy like the way New Brand Analytics tracks my Trip Advisor,etc ratings

    Sendible is 100% web based so managing social media platforms can be done from anywhere with internet connectivity. During registration, Sendible takes its users on a tour of its main features. The sleek design was engineered by professionals who have great interest in social media marketing. There is ample support in case users get lost and there is no learning curve.

    There are some aspects of the scheduling of posts that could be more user friendly for the less tech-savvy users.

    Sendible has a great resource center which I have used multiple times throughout my year using the platform. There are plenty of troubleshooting articles and guides that make it easy to uncover the root of any small issues I may have.

    We have not had to contact support so there is nothing to say in response to this question. We are sure that if we needed to contact them we would be able to get any issues resolved quickly

    Alternatives Considered
    Sendible
    While lacking in some features compared to those big alternatives, Sendible doesn't stop releasing new features every few months and doesn't cost nearly as much monthly as they do for the amount of profiles they allow to manage. Overall I'd say it's a solid competitor if they keep the updates coming and optimize the platform a little

    Return on Investment
    Sendible
    • It helps my business, to manage my clients social media.
    • However I was hoping to capture more people who want to use the tool as DIY which has not happened.
    • I do not want to let it go but it is currently more of an expense then bringing in a return.
