Of the software we evaluated Brandwatch gave us the best quality results and freedom of configuration. Better job of recovering past mentions. It has a more comprehensive choice of Boolean operators, giving complete control over search criteria. R6 is limited to basic operators. Brandwatch comes with the ability to set up own categories, rules, free out of the box. The others have it as an add on or don't do it. Socialbakers is not really a good comparison as it has a different usage set. They could be complimentary.
3 - - Strategic analyst: Project lead, strategic analysis. Guides the implementation of the project. Provides marketing indications.
-Junior analyst: Creation of queries, day to day management, fine tuning, reporting.
- Social media expert: channel management. Takes action on the results of the mentions. Intervenes in conversations where necessary. Liaisons with clients if they are managing the conversations.
Brandwatch is appropriate in any context where there is a relatively high volume of open conversations. Important to ask information about the (advanced) query settings that can make all the difference to the quality of your results.
