    Likelihood to Recommend
    Hootsuite
    Talkwalker is well suited for big companies and agencies that are looking for a long-term solution to keep track of the industry and/or their brands and key competitors. While setup requires a bit of dedication (especially in terms of custom filters and tags), once it's done, the tool will give the user a lot of flexibility to analyze the conversations and find the relevant results that answer the business questions. Companies just looking for a tool to track a short time period, or simple things like Twitter hashtags, won't take advantage of the full capabilities of this tool. Therefore, they could feel frustrated when comparing the outcomes/usage versus the costs.

    TapInfluence is a great influencer marketing tool that has made lives so much easier and
    therefore I would recommend it to everyone to use it because of its great
    database search function which makes it an optimal option for users. It should
    work towards their customer service support so that all users do not have to go
    through any problem. If you are ready to get hands-on the functions then the
    only condition is that you have to be willing to pay the hefty price too which
    I feel is a little outrageous.

    Pros
    Hootsuite
    • Truly global listening platform - monitor a deep range of media types from all over the world. Particularly strong in supporting competitive monitoring and analysis briefs across regions and countries. It monitors content in original language which I believe is a very strong monitoring factor.
    • Easy to use yet powerful dashboard visualisations - the dashboard interface is among the best I have seen. While it can accomplish many things, and under the hood is a very powerful and complex tool, the user interface is very intuitive, slick, quick and packed with all the KPIs you could want.
    • Customisation of the tool is a great feature. You can build your own dashboard and reporting spaces to suit your needs. You can schedule alerts from the system in a variety of outputs to keep you up to date with the latest events.
    • Customer support & technological advancement - the team at Talkwalker are highly proficient, always willing to support our every need, however big or small. Talkwalker aim to release around 4 software updates each year which means the platform is always full of the latest data visualisations and monitoring technologies
    • Having 'traditional' media monitored alongside social as well as owned media assets in one dashboard space is invaluable to help brands understand where their media footprint lies and how they perform in each media set, relative to the others.
    • AI - Talkwalker has introduced greater AI capabilities recently which means the capability of the tool in monitoring is ever-increasing, and the accuracy of targeting content and sentiment analysis is improving. The Visual Insights and image recognition technology is a really strong feature, and a very welcome addition to the monitoring aspect

    • I love the automation in this influencer connection service. TapInfluence has an automated process in which it recommends influencers who can do very good publicity for my business sector. This feature is very important to me since in this way the advertising will reach people who will really take that information into account because it is of interest to them.
    • The main panel of TapInfluence has divisions where I can see all the influencers who are working for me, in addition, in this individual panel I can know all the advertising that each of the influencers has done and see what traffic that advertising has generated, I can know the views that advertising has had and the clicks it has obtained. It is very important to be able to consult all this data from the main panel, so I can know what performance each influencer is giving me.
    • TapInfluence offers me a very stable communication service, where I can constantly converse with each of the influencers who work for me and with the influencers that appear in my "recommended" window.

    Cons
    Hootsuite
    • The system is complicated. With everything that you're able to do, it does come at the cost of simplicity. It definitely requires training and a high level of expertise to properly leverage what it can do.
    • The system can be slow. If you "ask" it to do too many things at once, it can get hung up and do the spin of doom.

    • It is also crucial to understand the cons associated with TapInfluence so that the overall software can be improved in a much better way. In my opinion, TapInfluence should give a considerable amount of attention to their customer support service as it needs to get a lot better.
    • Software like TapInfluence should be very easy to use due to its intuitive interface but I feel that here it is difficult to use especially for beginners.

    Performance
    Hootsuite
    Talkwalker gets the job done at a basic level. It performs regular indexing of existing webpages and tracks the instances in which a particular brand or company is mentioned. Especially for being free, this is an awesome resource. However, it should be said that this product does not perform nearly at the level of the paid options.

    They are very helpful, but can sometimes be a little too quick and not explain things in as great a depth as we would like. They have great staff and programs, and we don't really have any other major complaints. Support is very responsive and helpful when need be.

    I have yet to find another tool that would provide me with such a detailed information per query. It's such a find! Plus, I get separate emails per a search query and I'm able to archive those emails to the appropriate folders and always have a way of looking back. It's very useful for building monthly reports.

    Return on Investment
    Hootsuite
    • The free tool is a no-brainer. It absolutely helps ferret out mentions on social media that I wasn't aware of before.
    • Now, I can use the tool for clients, too, so for consultants, it can be a great way to help stay on top of what's being said about them online, as well.
    • Using the paid version would help delve into even more insights for your business.
