Likelihood to Recommend Cyfe might be for you if you are looking for a cost-effective way to display all of your marketing metrics in one place. If you are looking for a detailed, fine-tuned, niche, or extremely specific metrics, this might not be the best solution. Cyfe is good for a general health check-up of marketing, but not a finely tuned examination.
Read full review Webtrends Social offers social media marketers an abundance of tools needed for monitoring, managing campaigns and resolving customer issues in the social media space. In regards to the pricing, I would say it is less appropriate for small to medium-sized businesses where the social marketing aspect is an add-on or supplemental to the main marketing channels.
Read full review Pros Has preset metric groups that pull similar stats together in one "bucket" saving you the time of setting up each stat-line one by one Allows you to easily adjust the timeframe for what stats you want to see, so you can find YOY stats or just last month's stats rather quickly Colored visualizations of stats make it easy to notice when campaigns are taking off Read full review It provided strong metrics on followers, contest entries, and shares. I could easily track the effectiveness of campaigns in reaching and engaging consumers. Beyond building hype around the product, it was easy to track goals metrics. I had access to every metric I needed to gauge campaign effectiveness. The tools gave me fine-grained control over the look and feel making it very easy to match my company's branding. Read full review Cons I'd love to see additional functionality to customize colors. The light/dark option is very nice, but a little more flexibility in the colors would go a long way, especially if it was possible at the dashboard level rather than just the account level. Along the same lines, being able to customize the charts a little more, for example being able to show an x-axis on single data type graphs, could make them easier to read in some cases. Being able to choose to report on converted clicks or conversions in AdWords would be helpful. Needs the ability to show the date range on the shared URL dashboards. Would be even better if the date range was adjustable on that view, too. Kim Towne Digital Analytics Manager | Risk Management Coordinator

One area that would cause us not to renew would be if a competing service came out with more third-party integrations that match our needs. Price at this point is no longer an issue as it would allow us to automate a somewhat manual process that we have now connecting Cyfe widgets to Google Sheets.

Read full review Usability I gave it a rating of 7 because it does a good job at what it does, but there are missing that are missing which I would have benefited from. For instance, if I was able to drill down more on the specific metrics I was able to see, that would have been helpful.
Read full review Support Rating Because I had a very minor question and I was able to speak directly to the founder through LinkedIn and through email. I know that as they grow this may not always be an option but the fact that he made himself available to answer my questions said a lot about his passion for the product.

Read full review Implementation Rating Cyfe is a 15 minutes implementation, then some time to get your data sources created. This is an easy one person job that will not result in down time or unnecessary wasted man hours.
Read full review This was a very straightforward process. First, we customized the look and feel to make it just the way we wanted it. When we were done, we notified our rep who then did some work on their side before pushing the site live. This all worked flawlessly
Read full review Alternatives Considered The Salesforce dashboard is comparably flexible and intuitive, but designed more to its internal CRM focus. SumAll shares the social media dashboard capabilities, but lacks all others. Its interesting feature is side-by-side graph analysis for cross-channel performance. Cyfe might borrow from SumAll's default weekly email summary of performance from the dashboard, but implementation could be too complex. Nuvi dashboard is exclusively for social media marketing, but lacks Cyfe's flexibility for third party integration and window customization settings.
Read full review After evaluating Webtrends Social, I'd have to say in regards to the cost and the overall capabilities of the solution that other tools such as Social Sprout offer a more competitive package. For the amount you are paying on a monthly basis you are being offered tools that can get the job done at a better price point to warrant getting a tool for the department.
