We use emplifi to:

- schedule our organic social media content across 4 different channels
- Analyse the performance of our content using custom dashboards
- Consolidate all social queries into one easy-to-use platform
- Create an analysis of our paid content
- create performance review presentations to report to the rest of the organisation.

Previously we had used all native applications to do these tasks, but with Emplifi, we bring it all into one platform, allowing much easier data analysis and content planning, reducing time spent on calculating cross-platform metrics, and creating our own graphs.


  • Publishing - takes a bit of time, but publishing all content together makes planning and execution much more efective
  • Community - really simple one board collecting of all our social messages makes replying simple
  • dashboards - widgets and customisation allow for multiple dashboards tracking various campaigns and goals
  • Publishing - sometimes it is a bit faulty, especially when tagging companies, or editing images natively.
  • lag - sometimes it can lag a bit unless my internet is super fast
  • Linkedin - the analysis of linkedin is much less than meta platforms
Emplifi is really suited to companies looking to bring all their social media operations into one tool, and include some better perfomance metrics than found natively, and have access to quick and easy analysis, to provide insight to the rest of your company. It has quite a lot of tricks in its bag, and is really great if you are simply used to native platforms.

It is perhaps less appropriate if you are really keen on intense scrutiny of competitors. whilst it does have a competitor tracking ability, it only has access to publicly available information, so it is not as detailed as you might want it to be. also - adding extra profiles to track costs money.

We use it primarily for quick data about our social media accounts (we currently have over 60 social media profiles). It is also easy to download fast PDF reports or powerpoint data that is easy to modify and adjust according to our needs. We have people from multiple agencies using the platform as well as top management reviewing dashboards.<br>Really nice to search for inspiration and for content we did in the past to use an example for our current digital plans.
  • Look for archive
  • Quick access to profile numbers
  • Easy to understand ehat each metric meanws
  • Customer Service
  • Multiple language platform
  • Multiple metrics in one graph
I would recommend Emplifi if you work with multple accounts and multiple agencies/people that need access to limited profiles. It is easy to limit who can see what to avoid sharing insights with people that shouldn't have access to. Easy to understand and get a hand on by investigating the suite. Lacks a little if you need someone to give you support through the onboarding process or if you have any problems within the suite, you can contact the chat on the suite but usually takes a while to get back with a solution, or you can hope your account manager its online and willing to help you for him/her to reply to you

We use Emplifi to manage the Facebook and Twitter profiles for a major automotive client. The system is selected by our client, and has replaced Sprinklr - which we found too complicated and cumbersome to use.

Emplifi has simplified things massively, and scores heavily in our eyes for its user-friendliness and great customer support. It's also a great package to look at, and work with.
  • Easy for scheduling the same (or similar) post on multiple platforms, with a handy customisation feature allowing you to tweak post length / tags & hashtags accordingly
  • Makes adding the Emojis you access the most really, really simple
  • Detailed reporting feature, which can be heavily customised and easily exported
  • Resizing or cropping images is a little slow to manage, versus Sprout Social, which we find is much quicker for this
It's great for multi-channel social media management, plus clearly has the scale to suit multi-national organisations connecting hundreds of profiles and being used my multiples teams, in different languages, all over the world.

The AI content creation function is cutting-edge, and works surprisingly well too!

Emplifi has allowed our team to function exactly as we need. We don't have a dedicated social media manager, so the use of approval work flows has allowed us to request content creation by team members who aren't experts in social media writing. As a global organization, we closely monitor what our subsidiaries are posting by adding their "public profiles" to our account and reviewing their content feeds. Prior to using Emplifi, this was a very manual process of finding each subsidiary in the native platforms. Lastly, we truly value the labeling functionality. We categorize each post by topic and campaign, which makes dashboard creation and reporting very quick and easy.
  • Automated Workflows
  • Content Labeling
  • Reporting
  • We would like to add more public profiles at no cost
  • In the approval workflow, it would be great if one person could serve 2 roles such as both Content Creator and Publisher.
  • When our Publisher changes the posting date, it has to run through the approval workflow all over again. This is unnecessary as she is merely changing the date.
Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud is perfect for a marketing team that doesn't have one dedicated social media manager. It allows people from different departments or with different skillsets to contribute content for consideration. There is no limit on the number of people who can be in the platform, so you can open it up to Customer Service and Product Development in addition to a marketing team.

We use Socialbakers Suite to manage our social media accounts and evaluate channel performance. It is a great benchmark to see and plan our social media KPIs in terms of channel and content prioritization. It is also very useful to compare our brand within other ELC brands.
  • Socialbakers Suite provides very quick solution on channel performances.
  • It gives a framework to determine our paid content strategy by monthly reports.
  • Engagement rate metric can be improved to be more clear (it is now 1000 person per account)
It is very structured to show channel performance results in KPI's.

Socialbakers Suite is being used by our Social Marketing team for analysis purposes. We had trouble with getting a good and automatic overview of our social media efforts. We went with weekly/monthly reports that combined data from our social media(Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, Instagram and our own content marketing blog) sources. The report was compiled by hand and it took about 2 hours for each weekly report. We tried to automate the process by getting the data straight from social media platform APIs but that didn't work out because they are with quite limited use.

Socialbakers enabled us to combine data from Google Analytics, Facebook and Instagram (we chose not to monitor Twitter) and display it on dashboards which were easy to use for our social marketing team.
  • Dashboards
  • Comparsions
  • Influencer research
  • Drilling down into Social Media Analytics
  • Dashboard widgets are not flexible - you cannot create a custom widget.
  • Some basic functionality is behind a (huge)paywall - for example, API connection to get the data from Socialbakers to your own data storage.
  • Their pricing is rigid. Same pricing for big markets (Western Europe) and small markets (Eastern Europe). Even though the budgets and markets are way different.
  • Got a vibe of arrogance from customer support when asking for custom widgets and custom plan for extra modules. I'm not going to pay 2000€ a month for target group insights when my potential customer base is ~1 million people.
Socialbakers Suite enables users to get a quick overview of how your social media platforms are performing. The user interface is quite comfortable and clear. Analytics enables users to drill down into data to get useful insights.
We don't use the publishing tool, but that's only because we have other worked out processes already implemented - but I've been told by our social media managers that the tool seems good for managing content creators and publishing post across platforms. It also has a convenient calendar function - but we prefer Facebook own variant.
If you want to get some more insightful(custom) data on your dashboards then you can dream on. As far as I can tell Socialbakers is not interested in developing those options.

We're using Socialbakers to analyze owned social media performance for our channels, as well as our competitive set. We decided to use Socialbakers instead of native tools or our CMS analytics because it allows us to look at our own performance as well as competitors' performance on the same levels.

This tool has helped me diagnose, and even catch, some things that we were not expecting to see. Once, I determined that a product feed API was down and not generating pins for us on Pinterest because I saw that our content count had flatlines for longer than normal.

I have use several features in Analytics to help me sort and analyze content on the fly, like post tagging and account tagging and analysis is straightforward and user-friendly; you can easily look at performance in whichever way you prefer, in the visual UI, Excel, Dashboard. I also find the output from Socialbakers to be fairly reliable and accurate; I have compared outputs from native and other analytics platforms and the numbers are usually within a reasonable margin.

The predictive analytics on Facebook and Instagram are interesting and can help us understand how to make better creative decisions. They are always taking my feedback on board and always working towards integrating newly available platform data and metrics, though sometimes they are a bit late to the game with new metrics.

  • Data exports to Excel and the API.
  • Online user interface.
  • Predictive analytics for FB and IG posts.
  • Not easy to synch post tagging from CMS.
  • Sometimes difficult to make comparisons with previous time periods (not that this is always the best idea, but we like to look at what we did previously).
  • Benchmarks feature is a bit weak.
It delivers what it promises - to deliver consistently and regularly. The entire platform is quite easy to use and they are improving it all of the time.

SocialBakers Analytics is our main platform to analyse and centralize the insights of our various social media platforms. It also allows us to benchmark all our principal competitors and compare with the average of our market. It's a real-time decision making tool that helps us maintain the highest level of engagement with our communities and response rate from the team. It's used by the whole social media department in order to share social media insights with the rest of the company, board included.
  • Engagement Rate is clearly defined in SocialBakers and can be compared with competitors. Its definitely a metric and not only a concept in this platform.
  • Response Rate Insight give us a clear insight of the performance of our team in order to maintain the quality of service we provide to fans/communities/customers.
  • Presentation of data in SocialBakers Analytics platform is complete and simple at the same time, the tool can be used by social media expert and newbies at the same time.
  • Not all the Asian social media platforms are included as of July 2015 (but they are working on it)
  • Mobile app is a bit limited and not so easy to use as the web version.
Which social media platforms need to be monitored? (Should be in the list that SocialBakers includes)
How many competitors do you need to monitor? (Cost is per profile monitored)

  • The greatest strength of the tool is its visualizations and the competitive analysis it provides.
  • The tool helps in understanding a brand's social performance against other brands.
  • The tool is a bit limited in terms of the number of social channels it analyzes (3).
  • The tool currently doesn't provide post level reach data for Twitter.
The tool is a bit limited with the post level twitter metrics and with the number of social platforms it currently analyzes.
However, it is a great tool overall especially for measuring social success across a category or against other brands.
