It is the best research tool for planning social analysis, It also helps to identify influences and to optimize the campaign. Meltwater Social is probably the best solution out there for your social listening needs because it has the best features and user interface. The tool allows me to analyze and study conversations about the brand, competitors, and industry trends.

From a price standpoint, Klear was more reasonable than competitors, and definitely a factor in our decision last year. We also liked that Klear was mainly a SaaS platform and allowed us to manage our own campaigns from start to finish. A lot of other influencer marketing platforms/companies offer services where they manage the campaign and influencer relationships. This is definitely handy, but by having the ability to manage programs in-house, it allows us to be more profitable.

I think that Sysomos is the less complex version of Crimson Hexagon and Brandwatch. This tool may be better for small businesses or agencies that have a low budget in terms of tool and platform management. I think that Crimson and Brandwatch are much more updated and complex in their overall offerings.

Sysomos Expion was a solid tool that really played well against their competition. Their main advantage is likely their pricing and their customer service. Their pricing was by far the best in terms of pricing for the most amount of product. Their customer service is also significant. They stay with you every step of the way.

  • Crimson Hexagon is on par with Sysomos but is better for deep sentiment insights and post emotion analysis.
  • Sprinklr is clunkier than Sysomos and used primarily for client specific publishing, not analytics or listening.
  • Other tools such as Julius, Socialbakers and Spredfast all offer different capabilities and are specialized for particular disciplines in the agency.

Sysomos MAP is focused on listening (not management of social media accounts - features exist, but these are not the core purpose). It does a great job of measuring open networks, particularly Twitter, and a good job of monitoring mainstream press sites. For the most part it scales well, and the user-interface is relatively user-friendly, which allows us to decentralize use (important for a very large organization). Not the most expensive of the pack either.

Sprinklr is definitely superior in function with one exception. Somehow, Expion allows us to moderate and manage third-party content, but Sprinklr doesn't. Aside from that, I'd say Sprinklr leads Expion in just about every other area, except support. Sprinklr's support has been frustrating to say the least. It's been getting better as they work closely with us to iron out the kinks and the miscommunications. But I never had that problem with Expion's staff.

I would select Sysomos over Crimson, NetBase, or Zignal, as it is cheaper and quicker than any of these. But if I were to look for something more long-term or ongoing, I would select Talkwalker. Sysomos MAP is intended for something brief and a high-level overview. It's easy to use but doesn't allow for something more complicated.

Expion is just bland compared to the other applications. It is functional but it doesn't look polished. It is like your second choice. It could be better, but it works in the now for what I am doing.

We've used Sprout Social & Hootsuite in the past -- and they all stack up pretty evenly. Sysomos has the same features as Sprout or Hootsuite, except their reports and analytics are a little more detailed. Hootsuite has a better social media management software and dashboard though.

I love the account management team and they're better than any other team I've worked with. They're always available, they respond fast, and they help out with some tasks like creating the local page lists so that I don't have to. It's pretty time-consuming and they get it done fast. They're always adding new features, too.

The only other product that I have used which was similar was the scheduler on Facebook. I prefer Sysomos Expion because you can schedule more than one channel at a time and because you can schedule many posts in advance. It's ease of use is really what makes it stand out from other programs.

I preferred Spredfast a little bit more. I put Expion as my second favorite SMMT.

Radian6 is at the very low end with Crimson Hexagon and Netbase at the very top. Sysomos is at the bottom third in terms of sophistication but makes up for a lot by being very easy to use.

Map is much much better and friendlier to use than Radian6. With Radian6, I remember I had to filter through an absurd amount of noise, garbage and results to get to anything interesting. Granted I used the tool about 4 years ago, so it might have improved. When I first encountered Map I was skeptical because of a worthless experience with Radian6, but then once I got into the demo, I was much more impressed by the ease of the user interface and the customer service.

We have used Buddy Media and Vitrue (Oracle) in the past and once we found Expion have not considered going back.
Customer service is key to our relationship with Expion and they provide the best levels I have experienced.
I cant say enough about how available they are and proactive to help with any scenario for reporting or creating apps I may encounter.

Expion seemed to me, when it was last presented in early 2014, to be the most comprehensive of all other platforms, when it came to publishing, measuring, and listening. Many other platforms seemed to either specialize in just one social network or could only tell a particular part of the social story.
