NetBase Social Media Listening Software
- Reach: In our experience, NetBase not only pulls content from the most sources across the web, but pulls the most relevant content we're looking for. It's a big plus that they pull from Instragram, Tumblr, etc. in addition to Facebook, Twitter and others.
- Flexibility: Once topics are built, it is super simple and fast to lay themes over those topics to isolate conversations or sets of keywords. It is wonderful that when someone asks what's going on related to a specific topic or news story, we can pull the data quickly with minimal effort.
- Customer Service: Our rep is awesome! He gets back to me so quickly with answers to really technical questions and is helping us understand how to get the most out of the software.
Cons
- Email Reports: You are able to email yourself and others daily reports, and the information contained in the reports is great and very useful, but hard to access. Reports are sent as PDF email attachments, making them difficult/impossible to read on mobile.
- Text Alerts: Currently the alerts that come to us if there's a spike in volume in our crisis keyword set come to us via email, which can make them easy to miss. Text message alerts in that situation would be ideal.
