Overall Satisfaction with NUVI
Broadly, we use it to track brand, competitive, and industry terms for our clients. For most clients we are tracking brand terms to aid with community management and tracking overall social share of voice, as well as some broader terms to identify opportunities for proactive content. We also use it to track hashtag contest entries.
- Advanced Twitter search (any terms , handles, hashtags, or URLs)
- Detailed analysis of search results (sentiment, categorization, emotion, rough reach/spread of each)
- Visualization of mention volume and geography
- There are various quirks and bugs that become apparent as you use the tool more. Nothing that completely ruins the experience, but they can be nagging.
- It didn't seem to pull in every use of some particular Instagram hashtags that we were tracking. Instagram reported a good bit more than NUVI did.
- Better historical data (for collection and prediction). Currently it can pull from the last 30 days of Twitter data, which can give you some idea of volume moving forward, but in some cases it's a vast underestimate for the actual volume you'll get from all data sources. Also, if you're looking for previous mentions of your search terms beyond 30 days, then you're out of luck.
- It has definitely helped us to better understand the volume and nature of social conversation about current and prospective clients, which helps to set expectations about the scope of certain projects.
- Scheduled reporting has been great for media monitoring for a few of our clients, which makes for a nice value-add.
- It has helped to identify opportunities for creating more real-time client content that performs well due to its timeliness
I had used Topsy Pro at a previous job and was also very familiar with just plain Topsy in general. NUVI was the only tool I found at the time that could even remotely match what it could do. Topsy Pro was nice because you could search for any terms (though Twitter only) dating back to any point in time, which meant you did not have to set up searches/monitors beforehand. NUVI gives a lot of the same data, but again you need to set it up beforehand so ad-hoc searches are more or less out of the question. Where NUVI does one-up Topsy Pro is that it can search across much more than just Twitter.
9 - Nearly all of our Digital Brand Strategy team (the team I'm on at our agency) has a login and logs in at least occasionally. Some people on our Account Strategy team also log in to pull reports, or they have scheduled reports emailed to them on a regular basis. Some people on our paid media team also have access.
