Alvaria Performance vs. Oktopost

Alvaria Performance is suited for a company that needs to provide an easy way to schedule employees, provide a general schedule to adhere to daily. Alvaria Performance is also good with creating a visual representation of scheduling data to make it easier to view in a hurry. Alvaria Performance is less suited for specific schedule adjustments, it is good for increments of 1hr or more but less useful if change requires minutes.

The product is very easy to use. And the features are very good. I have not experienced anything less appropriate. It works as I expect and empowers me to be a better promoter of my company's social media which is directly tied to our company goals. It functions as expected and I would not change the user interface.

• An all-in-one platform that organizes all content across multiple accounts.
• Provides consistent user experience help, representatives were quick to schedule phone calls or walk-throughs whenever we had issues.
• Easily accessible by the entire team, don't have to rely on one person to do everything or avoid being in the platform simultaneously.

• Make Google (G+) allow personal submitals through Oktopost. Let me make this clear, this is NOT an Oktopost problem, this is a Google problem!! But I put this down here because it is the only missing link to creating a total social media tool kit.
• When I first started there were very few support documents and learning resources. I think I was one of the first to sign up. Since then they have clearly been working on filling the learning center with information. Keep up the good work!
• The emails that start off with "My name is Mark Lerner, Director of Marketing at Oktopost.... ;-) Mike 50 emails later I know who you are. Introduce the wife and kids next please ;-)

I don't think there is a need to change over to another platform. From the little that I've heard, Oktopost is comparable if not better than its competing products. We also have a great personal relationship with Oktopost's founders and team and enjoy collaborating in various forms with them.

Because in general is very good, the support team is always happy to help and you can ask them anything. They always have the solution. I also like the new functionalities that they are implementing; each month, we have something new. The end user platform is very easy to be used by the sales people.

When I have sent in questions to support, I have received answers pretty quickly and they were helpful. However, I would like to see more information on the support page rather than having to contact them directly.

There is a lack of online training videos or documentation. They have a long list of FAQ's but I would prefer a quick YouTube video instead.

As I stated earlier, I would suggest doing a quick session with the Oktopost team in order to properly set up the account and make sure you are getting the full experience.

We use similar programs to Oktopost in our organization like Hootsuite, so we didn't really compare Oktopost against them, we just use them for different things based on familiarity and processes. There aren't any specific products that we looked to replace or compete, it was mainly looking for something that fit our needs at the time and Oktopost worked well, but we still do have people using Hootsuite as well who perform different tasks. They both have unique features and benefits that work well.
