    If social is a big part of your business in more departments than just marketing and communications (marcom), make sure to let the team know and ask how Viralheat can accommodate multiple users and departments. Viralheat was great during the evaluation process because they were willing to show us exactly what they could do for our company - they even customized accounts for us to show us the true value of signing on.

    I found [Viraltag] offers great value for money. Especially, it allows you to
    just manage one account for all media social media platforms namely Pinterest,
    Instagram, Facebook, Facebook Pages, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Tailwind (another
    great social media posting tool), on the other hand, only allows 1 account for
    1 social media platform. This implies that we have to pay more! However, [Viraltag] has
    been responsive to users' requests, and it is constantly improving its features
    over time.

    Pros
    Discontinued Products
    • Viralheat’s reporting feature delivers analytics in presentation-grade spreadsheets. I include these images in reports or presentations to different teams.
    • Monitoring is definitely a strong point. I am not limited by a conversation or mention limitation, which is especially important when tracking high-volume products or brands. We are able to quickly identify trends and act accordingly.
    • The user experience is a pleasant one. Viralheat offers many comprehensive features but the layout of the product is simple and intuitive. I’m able to access any feature without having to click around into multiple places.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Not being able to reference in the native platform (e.g. LinkedIn, Facebook) the name of companies or users referenced in a post.
    • Not being able to embed images natively. (e.g. Image attached to a post on Viralheat shows up as a url link on the native platform).
    • Would love to see a calendar view of the scheduled posts as well as the current list view.

    • While the more costly arrangement offers Google examination, this is just insufficient for a business to see genuine commitment with our posts.
    • Visual investigations with charts, which are standard on numerous different arrangements, are just accessible in the top estimated plan at VT.

    Viralheat provided our team with the kind of monitoring tool we were looking for. As an added bonus, they had a member of their team brainstorm the best ways for us to set up our account to ensure we weren’t missing anything. Great customer service.

    I found it really easy to use and I use it on a daily basis and can easily find my way around. It has the usability of a consumer application for an Enterprise product that does very complex things in a very elegant manner.

    We chose Viralheat because it allowed us to do multiple things from one tool. We were able to monitor our brand mentions after each video, song, or album release - this provided us with valuable feedback abouout our brand and music. We were also able to connect our accounts and engage directly with our fans as well as post new content. We monitored the analytics around each release and campaign and were able to determine which were successful.

    We don't use Hootsuite for Pinterest and we don't use Viraltag (much) for Twitter, Instagram or Facebook feeds.
