Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I needed a tool specifically for LinkedIn as the priority that could do several things - 1) Manage content for my own business. 2) Manage content on behalf of our clients. 3) Be a tool I could recommend for my clients to manage their company page and also employee advocacy. Vista Social can do all three and offers highly competitive plans. What I was most impressed with is the level of support and also the onboarding. Real people are available to help you through every step, although I would say set-up is pretty easy.

Pros

  • Reporting is great
  • I love that it pulls in content that was published directly on the platform so you can still track.
  • Easy to connect the different platforms.

Cons

  • Shame connections is not available in a lower level plan. I don't want to have to connect using my clients LinkedIn login details to be able to use the platform.

Return on Investment

  • This will have a positive impact as it will scale with my business and also for my clients.
  • This will save hours on reporting.
