    Social Mention
    Social Mention is a great tool for monitoring social media. This Tool can also be used to search specifically taking the keywords in the blogs, comments, news etc. It offers a third party API for users. It can be used to send email to clients of their brand performance data. This tool can indicate if your mentions are angry, happy or neutral but the data can't be reliable.

    waalaxy is a good tool for automating activity on linkedin, creating contacts that will then have to be developed directly by you, but it speeds up the initial steps and skims contacts very quickly (if the bot sends 20 requests a day and 15 percent of people accept the link, you already know who to continue conversations with and who to leave alone).The only note is the scattered interface compared to others with a simpler and more direct ux.Maybe it's personal taste, because it continues to get a lot of positive feedback from many users.

    • Automation: request for connection at random times to simulate human intervention
    • automation: email link request to increase the maximum limit of link requests (before August 2022, linkedin policy changed message policies)
    • automation: email search on linkedin

    Cons
    Social Mention
    • Under the "Free" dashboard you are limited to only receiving weekly results.
    • Can't negate those tags which contain my tags.
    • Lots of tweets missing, no noise filtering. Sometimes we get very old contents which are not needed.

    • needs to improve the interface to make it faster to use the platform, especially for those who do not always use all the functions and do not remember them. Navigating through the menus becomes time-consuming
    • choice of profile "warming" type to avoid linkedin ban. Waalaxy seems less careful than other platforms to use automations with caution, at least in the beginning (you can't go from zero to 20 link requests a day because you risk banning. It's not certain but you risk it)

    I love that Social Mention is so easy to use. It does not take a long time to learn how to navigate the site when you need information quickly. I don't use it as much in my new job, but I recommend it for basic monitoring and when you need social media information right away

    è una piattaforma solida e aggiornata, ma ha un difetto che non mi piace ed è che personalmente non mi piace l'interfaccia per usarla. Questo è l'unico difetto e penso che sia soggettivo.

    Usability
    Social Mention
    While it's easy to use and pay for it's totally useless.

    it has a lot of functions, I haven't tried them all, but when I looked for something I found the interface scattered in menus and I didn't immediately find what I was looking for, this can also be frustrating because there are some functions that you rarely use so you forget where the buttons and menu are and so a more straightforward visual approach would be preferable even for those who are not new to the tool

    It doesn't work as well since we changed our name. We used to have a very unique twitter handle etc. so it was easier for social mention to find us. For folks who have unique names it's excellent if you don't it may not be that helpful.

    Social Mention streamed everything together, calculated my sentiment for me, allows me to filter what results I am personally looking for, extract my RSS feed and navigate to one of the channels of buzz.

    Waalaxy works well and has been on the market for quite some time; it is a solid product. For my very personal use judgment, I don't like to waste time looking for functions in menus-I use too many saas to waste time and remember where I find functions.Learning curve and immediate usability are key for me, so I was better off with Closely which has a much better UX.Maybe it's my problem and you will be just as well off as many others, you just have to try both because they have the free version

    Return on Investment
    Social Mention
    • The paid-version actually had a negative ROI for us as it would sometimes feed us topically inappropriate articles and didn't allow us to filter by source so as to eliminate inappropriate blogs and inappropriate news sources (like highly politically partisan ones).

    • 20 requests per day15% links accepted (depends on your message/strategy and industry, not the tool)
    • return on investment is certain if you don't think automation can do it all: you have to work the contacts generated by waalaxy
