Overall Satisfaction with TweetDeck

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I currently use TweetDeck to monitor important twitter accounts, users and topics for my organization and our clients. I am the only individual using TweetDeck within this capacity. TweetDeck provides instantaneous updates and pop-ups alerting me to important Twitter updates.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Has pop-up notifications for Twitter
Provides ability to monitor searches
Provides ability to monitor mentions of accounts
Provides ability to monitor Twitter lists

Cons

TweetDeck is limited to Twitter use only, making it less robust than other social media monitoring applications

Return on Investment

Tweetdeck is free
Increased response time on Twitter

Alternatives Considered

Hootsuite Enterprise,Hootsuite Pro,Hootsuite Free

I use Hootsuite Enterprise currently to manage our client's social media accounts, and only use TweetDeck for top-priority issues that I want to make sure I see pop-up notifications for. Hootsuite Enterprise allows scheduling across many different channels and accounts and is great for managing accounts across different individuals and teams.

Likelihood to Renew

I'll continue to use TweetDeck as a back-up application as it is free, but it is unlikely to ever be my primary application for social media management.

Likelihood to Recommend

TweetDeck is great on a personal level for monitoring a few Twitter streams, accounts, and lists; however, it is not going to be robust enough for a full social media management solution.
