Overall Satisfaction with Buzzsumo

We use Buzzsumo to track web mentions and also to track the number of social shares of our own content. It is being used solely within the marketing team and allows us to accurately measure our KPIs.
  • Track social shares
  • Track web mentions
  • Spam filters aren't very strong for web mentions
  • UX isn't great
  • Positive
  • Mention
Mention was a lot more expensive and was very limited in the number of search terms. It also didn't count shared by content piece.
We haven't used support.
UX is a bit clunky, but it does the job.

Yes

Did implementation of BuzzSumo go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy BuzzSumo again?

Yes

Buzzsumo is very good for our specific use case to track social shares, and I also like the Chrome extension. But if you need it for influencers or other content strategy work, it's not the best tool. For PR, we are looking at switching away for this tool.
