Agorapulse vs. SAP Cloud for Social Engagement

I think Agora is great for small teams looking to schedule posts and respond to users. I haven't used it at scale, so I can't recommend it for larger companies, but I love it for what we do. If you're savvy with Google Sheets, then the Agora exports are really handy. If you don't need specific data or the ability to compare metrics, and just want a surface-level look at your social performance, the analytics tools are nice.

The decision has been made. It's time to get to work--no steps back. I feel confident this product is well suited to help me make progress. I want to get down business and utilize the functionality of this product to meet my marketing goals. I feel very comfortable with the choice I have made.

The user interface is fantastic. Clear and easy to use. The layout and navigation is very well thought out enabling us to work quicker, and smarter. Moving around Agorapulse becomes second nature very quickly, which makes day to day workflows so much easier. The features included are comprehensive, especially the reporting. And having everything in one place for messaging and monitoring is a real help

Agorapulse has generally had great performance. Occasionally I have issues with my videos being posted on Instagram. I still am not sure why. the format of the videos is the same as the videos that are going through.

Absolutely amazing customer service. Some of it seems very automated and feels like you are not talking to a person. It would be better if it was just a normal email platform that it was coming from. But overall super great customer service and the company is always willing to walk new members through the use of Agorapulse which is awesome.

I provided SAP Cloud for Social Engagement this rating since the product has such a great backing along with the SAP brand itself. There is a lot of support behind this product as it connects with a variety of social media platforms, like Facebook and Twitter. The support provided by SAP in terms of tech help is wonderful as well. There is a lot of support from all angles

I think Agorapulse is by far the most comprehensive platform and user-friendly. In my experience, the support on hand is responsive and easy to speak with through the online chat. Hootsuite, Adobe Express, and Buffer seemed limited in what they offer in comparison, particularly Adobe Express and Buffer. Both these platforms were clunkier for us to use and didn't offer as much in terms of listening and reporting. We used Hootsuite a few years ago and moved away from it before we developed our strategy, planning and reporting for social, so it might have the same capabilities as Agorapulse but the support and usability do not match.

• SAP Cloud for Social Engagement's analytic capabilities proved far more financially viable than that of Cvent or Oracle's capabilities.
• SAP Cloud for Social Engagement allows me to find clients and vendors by targeting key words within social media messages and sort them by urgency and relevance. Having a better understanding of our client's wants and needs helps my company gain traction against our competitors.

I'm not sure I understand what is meant by scalability.
