Brand Embassy (discontinued) vs. Engagor (discontinued)

Though the strengths I listed in the prior question are really hopeful, the negatives outweigh the positives so much that at this time I could not in good conscience recommend this product. I really hope those issues improve - if they do, this would be a really strong tool for a customer service-based company like ours. Particularly one with so many people working remotely. For now, I'm honestly thankful I was able to take a different position here in which I never plan to touch NICE again.

Key questions are about: mention handling capabilities, maximum monthly volume, analytical functions, social platform compatibilities, possible integrations with other services (for example Bitly, Zendesk)

• All information about customers in one place.
• Very transparent and easy to use. It helps us to track our results in a very efficient way, as well as to handle our day to day activities in the best way.
• Amazing client services team.

• Pre-filtered inboxes - allows to direct people to view the content they need to quickly and efficiently.
• Quick response to customer service issues
• Easy to use analytics
• Tagging posts
• Performance monitoring
• Custom dashboards for quick and easy report generation

• Option to rank the comments as positive/neutral/negative could be more uselful
• Some tool to archive selected posts for future references would be useful
• That's probably due to lack of technical skills :-], but we were not able to differentiate between fans and real customers in the app

• Mobile app isn't complete. Not possible at the moment to easily post pictures to all social media.
• Sentiment analysis does not work well in French or German.

I still use the platform: - its use is customer friendly - improves and speed up customer care on SM - improves speed and quality of internal processes/communication - monitor/measure all valuable metrics

We have renewed with Engagor on a month-to-month basis. In my experience some of the glitches Engagor experiences are too risky for some of the large brands my team handles. We want to use a listening/monitoring tool that we can trust as this service is something the company uses every single day. For our budget, as well, we would like to have more data space for search, as we do new business presentations quite frequently. When auditing new business social platforms, we like to give them a look at the competitive landscape on social, which can take up a lot of space for business that may not even come to fruition. I've updated this review to reflect that I am no longer in a role that regularly collects social media data or compiles reports, so I defer to my colleagues for an official recommendation on listening tools or other channels that might perform the same service as Engagor.

It is difficult to describe just how awesome the support guys and gals at Brand Embassy are. Ever-present and eager to help, with kind and helpful attitude and you can really feel they are doing this to help you make results

Better organized, with more identifiable and easily accessible data, not to mention, these two offer the bare bones of functionality. Sure you can see raw data but you cannot actually do anything with them as a whole - you need to do all the comparison and analysis yourself which can take a long time

We evaluated Hootsuite, Coosto and Sparkcentral. Our contract with Engagor will end in 2016 so we’re currently looking at other tools as well. We made a selection between 9 or 10 tools and we are evaluating them to see which one is most valuable.

• The first year when we started to focus on social care, we received 736 mentions. 4 years later we are dealing with 725, 942 mentions per year without the necessity to hire more people into our social care team. The seven of them are still able to respond to our customers very quickly and with high quality. And we believe that Brand Embassy is the key to our success in social care. Thanks to this tool we can simply manage such a big amount of mentions and questions.

• Better customer service.
• Better detection of potential crisis on social media which leads to avoiding the crisis or better managing it.
