A social media audience is very important to generate quality leads and get to know user feedback and response for particular product launches. It's useful for other purposes like sending samples and running campaigns on social media. Adobe Social is the perfect tool to achieve the desired output with strategy effort done.

I used Adobe Social when I use to have my own business on social media. After many months I was having no success in finding the correct clients for my products. Using Adobe Social I was able to market and discover different ways of searching for the correct clients and later on helped my business grow.

Adobe Social is not well suited to any type of social publishing, reporting or listening, particularly on a large scale within a major enterprise. It can, on occasion, completely fail to do what is asked of it. Customer support is slow and representatives often don't even read the ticket properly and ask questions answered by the ticket.

For intricate, complex organizations who dynamically fuse social and digital - Adobe Social is great. A methodical approach to social and its integration to other aspects of the company is needed. Furthermore, there must be buy in for many departments and the aptitude in those departments to learn how to use the tool - and then actually do it. There are many hurdles for most companies. It is NOT a tool for fast-paced social brands who want to react and measure in real time.

Adobe Social is well suited for writing and scheduling most posts. It's less appropriate for Twitter video and social analytics depending on the needs of your client. Other products worth looking at are Hootsuite or Sprout Social.

I believe it was very well suited for our needs in social media. We used every tool and feature that was provided to us within the department. I never felt that it was less appropriate or not needed. I highly recommend this product for any person in social media marketing.

We launched a new campaign and with Adobe Social we were able to provide extensive Social Media listening and KPI's so that we could see card members/fans reactions. Adobe Social was able to provide graphs within the platform and helped keep the engagement well organized.

Adobe Social is definitely the ultimate tool for live social tracking, without a doubt. However, exporting reports is definitely more of a challenge than I'd like to see in an analytic package. As a standalone product, Adobe Social is above the bar in every single way. However, it should be crafted to better accommodate exported data.

It depends on the goals and the overlapping opportunities between search and social; however we're not currently using it to its fullest advantage I believe. It's a bit limiting for me to provide full detail since I'm using a limited version of it.
