Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our brand department needed a social media automation tool to streamline the uploading and management of content and community management. Our decision makers were concerned with several main factors: Price, Number of seats, and lastly Features. AgoraPulse managed to fit within our price range and offer the right features for our initial social efforts.

Pros and Cons

Easy to use
Lots of features
Low price

Missing some listening features
As platforms change, some features are removed or changed with little warning
Data retention is restricted

Users and Roles

3 - Myself, my community manager, and our brand manager are the only ones using AgoraPulse right now. There is an option to purchase additional seats, but we haven't had the need to expand that. Originally we thought we would need to expand and add the approval functions, but it's easy enough to do those functions without using these tools.

Return on Investment

Makes it easier to generate screenshots of finished content
Reduces the amount of time spent in native platforms and apps

Alternatives Considered

Sprout Social, ActiveCampaign and Buffer

We selected AgoraPulse because of the price and features.

Likelihood to Recommend

For smaller organizations or small digital teams, AgoraPulse is a fantastic tool. Unfortunately, for large enterprise teams or agencies, it's not going to fit the bill. If you need a simple and easy to learn interface, only a few features to bring listening, community management, and publishing into one place; AgoraPulse has a great set of features at a small business or startup price. If you are finding yourself needing more CRM tools, integrations or API connections, you might need to look into one or several other tools.

A solid offering at a great price. Perfect for small businesses and startups!
