Overall Satisfaction with NetBase
NetBase is housed in our social media office but is used for projects across departments to gain insights into industry landscapes or to track chatter around a campaign. It assists in strategy development, client research, and program reporting.
Pros
- Tracking Twitter chatter - the ability to turn on Firehose to track all Tweets around a search term is particularly helpful during campaigns
- The word cloud widgets are helpful in looking for new areas to develop around a topic as well as a great visual tool for showing clients
- Brand comparisons are easy to view in the dashboards and you can customize them to compare the attributes you are most interested in.
- Staying up to date on the latest in tracking methodology
Cons
- Sentiment analysis - this has been improving and they are adding features for manual corrections but the system still mislabels posts
- The exported charts and word clouds have limited ability to be resized without pixelating. The clouds also don't adjust if all terms are small, thus using the cloud in a presentation is difficult at times
- The system automatically defaults to analyzing the last month with no way to change the default to match the topic date range. This can be inefficient if you are using a topic that has a very specific time frame that you have to change every time you analyze the topic.
- Great for showing prospective clients that we understand their business environment
- Has helped identify opportunities in and around brands we work with
- Useful for strategy development
- Union Metrics,Sprinklr
NetBase provides greater insights into conversations and more usable data of firms looking to develop a strategy.
