BuzzStream has proven to be an invaluable tool for link building and email campaigns, according to users. It assists in creating email templates and automating follow-ups, making outreach more efficient. Users praise BuzzStream for its ability to compile lists of potential outreach opportunities, track outreach progress and success, and monitor brand mentions all in one place, eliminating the need for multiple spreadsheets.

As a CRM, BuzzStream helps users manage relationships with social influencers and contacts effectively. It allows them to check website domain authority and Moz rank, providing valuable insights when identifying reliable sources for partnerships or content promotion. Users appreciate how BuzzStream streamlines the prospect outreach process by ensuring no duplicate contacts are reached out to and enabling timely follow-up emails. Beyond link building, BuzzStream also aids in building online press lists and recording built links for clients. By automatically revisiting sites to check for lost or removed links, the software saves users time and effort in maintaining a healthy link profile.

Seamless Chrome Extension Integration: The Chrome extension provided by BuzzStream has received high praise from users for its seamless integration with the browser.

This integration streamlines their workflow and saves valuable time, making it one of the standout features of BuzzStream.

Effective Link Monitoring: The link monitoring feature in BuzzStream is considered incredibly useful by users. It simplifies the process of logging earned links on websites to their own website, while also periodically scanning the websites to check if the links are still active. This feature saves users hours of work and provides easy reporting on their link building efforts, making it an essential tool for managing successful SEO campaigns.

Clunky User Interface: Some users have found the user interface of BuzzStream to be clunky and in need of improvement. They feel that navigating through the software can be difficult and could benefit from a more intuitive design.

BuzzStream is the only tool that I've used. However, it is the only one that I need to use. It accomplishes all of my needs and does a great job. If there's something better I haven't heard of it. I would recommend this to anyone that asks about it.

BuzzStream stacks up quite well compared to its competitors. In particular, Hootsuite and HubSpot. BuzzStream has many of the same capabilities that its competitors do, at a fraction of the cost. We selected BuzzStream because it had a fairly flexible contract, and it was sufficient for our needs. It was a good intermediate-level tool.

I evaluated a few different software solutions before settling on BuzzStream. What made me choose BuzzStream? It was easy--I found that BuzzStream was the easiest of the bunch to get a template and campaign started. Their Chrome extension was easy to use and the customization features were something that (at the time) the competitors did not have. Finally, the cost of BuzzStream was a lot less than the competitors, but it didn't sacrifice features. I actually had a subscription to SpyFu and after using BuzzStream for a few months, canceled it because I found that I never logged in or used SpyFu.

Buzzsumo is strictly a 'research & brand-watch' based tool whereas BuzzStream helps me to be actionable. Google Drive is used primarily for the organizational aspect, but BuzzStream is like 1000x better as we can see when things are done and not depend on people to fill it out or update it within the Google Sheet.

BuzzStream is a better email solution if you want the CRM features.

It has a more comprehensive set of features. In fact, there's a lot of those features that could get confusing for someone who just used it.

But, once you learn your way around them it is actually a really powerful tool.

I haven't used many other link building tools. The only other way that I've found to stay organized is to use Google Spreadsheets. I like BuzzStream because you can have different profiles for each client, can manage users and messaging, and it reminds you when it's time to reach out to a prospect again.

BuzzStream focuses on SEO rather than PR, which requires some specific functionality that the other tools do not have. If you are doing SEO, then BuzzStream is a better fit. If you're doing PR then perhaps keep looking.

Buzzstream is for professionals. There are other similar tools and each tool is better at something. Mailshake is a great simple tool for outreach, but it doesn't have database management like Buzzstream. Buzzstream has maybe the best database management among the link building outreach tools. Pitchbox is a tool that is more focused on automation, but this requires more preparation for setting up a campaign. Modern outreach is all about personalization and Buzzstream was built for personalizing e-mails while helping to speed up the process.

Honestly, haven't used anything else for link tracking that has been nearly as successful as Buzzstream.
While many other SEO tools offer help for link building, they don't track links per se. So I would say Buzzstream is one of the key tools for a digital PR that has SEO intentions.

If you are running a very small campaign, just use Excel. But Buzzstream with other SEO tools, like Majestic or MozPro will create a powerful, well-rounded campaign.

BuzzStream is more of an in-depth system while Buzzsumo is great to use for finding topics and influencers in certain industries. BuzzStream keeps accurate records while Buzzsumo is merely a side tool to use when searching online does not suffice. Buzzsumo does help more than BuzzStream with finding better leads though.

The only other competitor I can think of is Gmail/mail merge/Boomerang. While Gmail can't find contact info, you can use it in conjunction with mail merge to create templated messages along with Boomerang to remind you to follow up in a couple days. This is definitely a less enterprise solution compared to BuzzStream, but BuzzStream can also be clunky and hard to navigate if you are not proficient.
