Influitive aims to enable businesses to easily visualize and report on all activities completed and the ROI of those activities, while integrating with the user's CRM and marketing automation platform to guide members through the entire customer journey.

Using it to enhance advocacy programs and help users stay engaged with products news, enhancement, learning, and training material. An insightful platform to balance work and fun. Initially keeping users engaged and up to date had been slow, however with Influitive in action, it's effortless. The program helps us make the entire education and learning process fun and meaningful.
  • Easy to use
  • Constantly improving features
  • Least stressful and perfectly adaptable
  • Caters to audience globally and is seamlessly integrated with many programs and CRMs.
  • The mobile app needs alot of work.
  • More UX improvement needed than a standard layout.
  • Customizing [the] look and feel can be better.
Anyone looking at creating an advocacy program that helps map ROI and rewards clients for enhancing brand reputation well, Influitive is an amazing platform for that. What's even better is the option to launch a referral program to widen your customer base and improve lead generation. The program has many features that help [the] B2B and B2C industry and proves to be an asset in multiplying your audience and maintaining brand loyalty.
  • Usability
  • Increased customer engagement
  • Enhanced product adoption
  • Improved integrations
It is possibly the best option in its category. We have analyzed different platforms and programs that might have referrals, community, and advocacy on separate platforms but nothing truly on one that helps us manage engagement altogether. Their support is excellent and extremely responsive. We totally love the platform and enjoy each activity we layout fully knowing that if we ever have a hindrance executing a plan, the Influitive team will jump on board and be there to help us out.
It's an expensive tool, making a purchase requires alot of use cases and success stories, demo walkthroughs etc.
We have excelled in achieving all these attributes, and believe it will continue to drive customer advocacy and build a splendid connection between customer and brand. Influitive promises a great UX, amazing features, and effortless creation of tasks and reporting. Well, isn't that a dream for an organization? We enjoy working on the platform and so do our users.
Reporting is seamless however one needs to be cautious of the options and selection you make. The good part is the AM and support team is helpful and they make life between business goals and customer-centric initiatives effortless. We have been using Influitive for over 6 years and believe the tool and new updates are working well and have a long way to go, especially introducing comprehensive analysis
  • Ambassador Referral Marketing Platform (discontinued)
More options and better UX. Honestly, the platform barely had many features and was entirely focused on referrals. They did not help create a community or advocacy platform. Their gift card system was lacking global reach and that was definitely a major show down for us. We were looking for a unified platform that has all elements: Advocacy, gifting, referrals, references, and amazing UX.
5
Our core team working entirely on the program consists of 5 people. One looks at reporting and announcements, the others look at rewards, challenge creation, ideation and graphics. The platform has our attention entirely so that we constantly respond to messages in time and invite new customers to the platform to widen our network.
5
Our team is influenced by a background in Marketing, Content Writing, Graphics, and Public relations. The point of having a team that is blended with customer experience skills is to ensure we have the customer's interest and the right ideation and strategy to build the program into a stronger one. We have trained the people on the platform to ensure they know backend functioning completely.
  • Referrals
  • Reviews
  • Advocacy
  • Encouraging webinar registrations and attendence
  • Creating a buzz for upcoming events
  • Announcing new trainings and certifications to upskill audience
  • Many do not realize what an asset Influitive can be to manage reference.
  • Build Case Study Groups
  • Create a testimonial bank
Depending on the cost and new features to be added, our company might be motivated to renew the use of Influitive. However, a lot depends on the year to come and the enhancements that can better our experience and add more gamification to the platform. Adding elements that can woo our target audience.
No
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Scalability
  • Integration with Other Systems
  • Ease of Use
Product features are the most crucial aspect for us because no matter how low or high a cost might be if the program does not have the features we are eyeing, it's useless to us. We deem product features as the strongest point for us to lean towards a company and ensure our target audience gets the best experience while onboard. This is my second time renewing Influitive for the organization, and without doubt I feel this is the best decision we are taking
We might take a trial month or two. Make challenges and run a beta surveying 500 customers on what features they like the most and where would they feel we could make a change, replace or review a certain feature. It is important for us to keep our audience as the priority and ensure they enjoy logging in each day. Also I believe in altering the contract within a walk-out term, to ensure while we promise on being committed to a software for the next two to three years, the service has to be top notch, else the contract can be terminated
  • Don't know
  • I am not aware of the issues as I wasn't a part of the implementation process.
At present while using Influitive, the implementation seems to be perfect. It is synced well with our CRM and we get all our data managed well by it. Users on our CRM clearly differentiate the users on the hub and even invite the ones who haven't already signed up. The sync between the two is going good.
  • Online training
  • in-person training
I was taught and made to show all features that could help me learn more about the platform and this was great hands-on training for me. I picked up things faster than others and did have time to create challenges and make changes while someone was around to supervise and help.
The online training was a great refresher to what I learned in person and the good part was watching the session again if I did forget things. It has been a great experience learning since it was quick and easily referenceable. Watching online sessions was self-paced and not bound by a clock.
I do not know whether we bought premium support initially, however, I do know that we are treated extremely well and we get great support that is quick, knowledgeable, and always ready for us. The team is very responsive and sure feels like premium and we also have bi-weekly connec[tions]to ensure everything is running smoothly.
Yes
Yes usually when we report a ug it is looked into almost instantly and they ensure they keep updating us on the matter. If it is delayed from their end, they are always prompt on letting us know even if we do not follow up. The team works round the clock if we mention the level of urgency.
There was a time that many of our experience channels were acting odd and kept expiring all by themselves. WE realized the bug and informed the team. I think we had two to three people working on the issue and made sure we were up and running in next to no time.
The platform is as easy as using an Instagram or facebook account. It has all features quite clearly laid out for admins and if there is any difficulty, the team also walks you down through steps. The layout is easy and they are constantly improving the look and feel. You can use the support articles that are so simple and easy to follow that you seldom have any difficulty.
  • Creating a challenge
  • Exporting a report
  • Inviting new users
  • Monitoring the dashboard
  • Changing banners on the top page
  • Pulling reports from gifting partner whether the reward has been honored or not
Yes
The desktop version is a beauty, however, the mobile app has a lot of things to be worked upon. It often has issues and takes you to different pages while you intend to go on a different one. It is slow and not that amazing. It needs a revamp for sure.
We haven't used it across multiple platforms. Essentially keeping track of advocates, referrals, reviews which somehow are all synced together.
Yes, always available and extremely quick. The availability is 10 on 10 for sure. We also have situations where their team might not be working or on a holiday, but if we have an event, they are available and ensure smooth running. That is the beauty of having Influitive take care of you.
Yes, there is a reasonable timeframe and most of the reports are quite instant. The pages and functioning are relatively quick and if in a case we are unable to update certain information or download a report, we do reach out to the support team that does respond almost immediately.

My company uses AdvocateHub as a way to interact with our customers (mainly HR Managers). Through AdvocateHub we are able to determine satisfaction with our program, determine things our users would like us to add/include/exclude in our program, and identify potential customer case studies and customer speakers interested in joining us at events.

AdvocateHub is primarily used by our Marketing Dept. Business problems addressed include (as mentioned above) getting real feedback from our users and in identifying people who are happy with our product and who would either be interested in speaking with us at an event, or doing a case study with us. We've seen great results & success-- very happy with AdvocateHub!
  • Customer Service! AdvocateHub is extremely responsive to any questions we have and are always happy to hop on a call with us to make sure we're all set.
  • Easy to use interface. The product itself does a great job of being intuitive. Little technical skill is needed and it doesn't take long to upload challenges, approve challenges and pull reports.
  • The concept behind the program is so well executed -- its a very clean interface which uses gasification very well encouraging users to complete more challenges and is fun to use.
  • Could make archiving challenges a little easier
  • I would like users to be able to see completed challenges and how many points they earned per challenge in a little bit of a better layout. (It's there, but its a little confusing and feels like its missing some info)
During a selection process, I would come to the meeting knowing how many users you have that you would like to use AdvocateHub; then ask for your industry, what percentage of them you could expect to become an active user.

This program really is perfect for B2B companies because it's fun for users to use and the capabilities are pretty limitless--it's all and anything you can dream up, though AdvocateHub is there to recommend some best practices and tips too. We've had amazing results; absolutely achieved a quick ROI and would recommend it to pretty much anyone.
  • We hit our ROI in less than a year.
  • Just the information we've gained from users alone has been extremely valuable to our business
  • Its a program that had a lot of capabilities-- it can serve the needs of multiple departments (like iID'ing speakers for Marketing, and ID's bugs/etc our Engineering team users)
We did our due diligence here, but AdvocateHub really won out on all fronts. Between the usability, all the capabilities, and the customer support included-- it was an easy one to go with and we have had no regrets since unrolling it. We have been impressed by the team over at AdvocateHub every step of the way!

The AdvocateHub is used for Mitel employees (3000+) currently and we will be adding partners and customers over the next few months. I am responsible for growing Mitel's perception, increasing revenue and employee engagement. I needed an easy way to identify and mobilize our advocates.
  • The product is solid. As an admin I was responsible for creating challenges, coming up with point amounts and some other things. Influitive manages the software. I did a three month pilot to build and test our Mitel Champions Hub and didn't encounter any problems with the software.
  • The staff at Influitive is rock solid! I was assigned a success coach, Eli, who met with me weekly to set goals and work through action items in Basecamp. This was the highlight of my experience having someone guide me to build the best Hub I could! Anytime I had questions the team at Influitive has been stellar!
  • The folks at Influitive get marketing! This Hub is brilliant and is going to help us grow our social selling initiative and other marketing initiatives so much that we are thrilled we found the product!
  • Add support for other mobile devices like Android and Blackberry for our global users who prefer those.
I think one challenge is some companies haven't got the concept of "advocacy marketing" yet. Advocate marketing encompasses many different marketing departments. First and foremost, I see that it's a demand generation opportunity because you can get referrals from employees and customer advocates for new business. That's really powerful and Influitive already has templates and training on how to do this. Second, I think it's a major social media initiative. Every Friday since January 2014 I've sent out customer success Fridays with a new customer success. This includes suggested tweets but then employees have to cut and paste the content. With Influitive it's so easy for advocates just to click a button! The other ways you can leverage customer advocates are for online reviews, customer references, identifying customers for press/case studies/videos and so much more! There are so many opportunities to leverage our advocates and I think of new ways every day!
  • New lead prospects from employees and customer advocates
  • Ability to mobilize our advocates to grow our social media presence
  • Ability to interact with our advocates with surveys or a quick question
None. I never found anything that could do everything I wanted except for Influitive!
Definitely! I'll be signing a one year contract in the next few weeks. This product pays for itself with just one customer referral! Great great ROI like nothing I've ever seen!
When I stayed using we only had a hundred or so Advocates and now we have 2100+. Pretty amazing product!
