Sumdata.me vs. uberVu (discontinued)

Easy to use, easy to start, very budget - wise, especially for micro and small business

I liked uberVU a lot, and thought I was lucky to have found them (they actually responded to my tweet when I was vendor-searching, which was good to know as they were doing just what we were planning to use the software for). They are relatively small, which allows to have a great personal relationship and we felt very valued as a client. They provided great value - some of their competitors allow for more features (which explains their higher price), but there was no way to opt out of the unnecessary features to lower the price - uberVU didn't have any of that, it was just what we needed and in our price range

• Discover similar business to your existing customers data base
• Show business information and comparison based on location, industry, and many more factors
• They showing the contact person in the business and way to connect

• Easy to see what people are saying on social media about clients.
• Creates reports that can be limited to certain time frames.
• Able to see the reach of users so you can breakdown by influencers.

• I think it will be helpful to get more "live" data
• I am waiting to see the future marketplace feature

• I honestly didn't have any issues with them. Being able to set the real-time alerts as "every 15 minutes" took some figuring out to do, and we were still in the trial mode while we did that - it wasn't particularly intuitive for other users, but once we walked them through, everything worked well.

I find it a great tool in the digital strategy world to see what people are saying across social platforms. It's much more efficient that doing a search on the platform itself and provides a lot of information extremely quickly

it really helped me in getting engaged with new potential customers and also increased my conversion rate

All the users found the product intuitive and easy to use.

A couple of times it was a little slow, but this didn't result in any negative impact for us. There was no downtime as I could recall or notice.

Every time we needed help, the support was great. We had no issues, mostly needed usability walkthroughs and had questions about features.

I got the training while I was evaluating and in the trial period. Then I trained the others myself

Not applicable since it is SAAS - all we needed was to sign up, which was easy

It is more beneficial to small businesses and much easier to use. In the micro/small business market, it is all about connecting the right people with their specific needs and communicate in person with potential customers, and in this, SumData.me specialize

Radian6 and Brandwatch were on the short list. We picked uberVU for its combination of price and features. It did not have extra features we didn't need, they were customizable and flexible enough to meet all of our needs

• Positive, for the low cost for user, I discovered much more customers than before

• Easier to handle crisis.
• Ability to find out statistics to quantify and qualify what you're doing for customers.
