Overall Satisfaction with Sysomos Expion
Sysomos is a very simple, easy to use product that returns social listening results within one year.
Its advantages are its ease of use, speed to return data, and unlimited number of queries.
Its disadvantages are its extremely simplistic analysis features. Pales in comparison to Crimson Hexagon for things like sentiment analysis, quality of visualizations, topic waves, topic clusters, etc etc etc. :) Number of users accounts is also limited so depending on your plan and how many people are using the tool you can get kicked out when other people log-in with the same credentials.
It has once NICE feature which is "Communities". This is a cluster analysis based on linguistic patterns. Frankly a GREAT feature, but the other features of the platform are so limited I can't recommend it.
