Brand24 vs. Simply Measured (discontinued)

Brand24 is perfect for a company that wants to build up its social media presence. It's great to know when our organization is mentioned online so I can engage with other companies. I like the mobile app but if there was a way to be notified via phone with it that would make it even better.

Simply Measured is great for people who do not want to spend too much time analyzing their owned social channel data but instead want a short and sweet snapshot of the your brand's performance. It is less appropriate for people who want to easily manipulate their data in many different ways.

Incentivized

• Tracked negative sentiments
• Had a broad scope of social media tracking thru various popular apps and websites
• Allowed you set up instant triggers to find post that submitted very recently

Incentivized

• Customer service analysis has been extremely useful for determining sentiment and adding context to real time crisis situations.
• Convenience of pulling data for all social channels at one time is extremely effective in making decisions in real time and to compare against other channel performance. The cross channel export minimizes a great deal of time for exporting data. Nearly all social channel data is available.
• Reports are extremely user friendly, visual and easy to export. Also the ability to see the raw data and to have it for historical reference is great.
• Key insights generated in the dashboard page help add fast context for performance.

Incentivized

• Pretty weak on its algorithm to determine if a comment was positive, neutral, or negative
• Statistics weren't overly useful for us

Incentivized

• I wish I could download the entire reports as a jpg.
• More often than I'd have liked, I had to re-authorize my accounts.
• It would be nice to be able to move the graphs around to reflect my client's individual needs.

For my current client, it's not right - they would not be actionable with the data to really need this tool. For my past clients, I would suggest they stay on it and i think they would agree.

The interface is very simple and organized around the core elements of the platform : the reports.

Extremely fast response and they go above and beyond without asking. The support team has provided me data beyond our limit before and it was not an issue and not an extra cost, really good business support.

Very good implementation.

I would start with Mention as opposed to beginning with Brand24. We originally used Mention but the price was increasing year-over-year so we wanted to try a cheaper alternative. We eventually did go back to Mention after Brand24, due to its ease of use and it was also easier to monitor our brand with Mention in the end.

Customer service and the sales team is what was a key seller for us. We didn't feel pressured to buy something we wouldn't use and they we're able to listen to our needs and give us what fit for us. We've tried hootsuite but it's was too much out of the box

Incentivized

• Positive: We can respond to customers in a reasonably realistic timeframe.
• Positive: We get updates from old content that has new activity.

Incentivized

• Tumblr was a huge channel for us but so opaque. Simply Measured really helped us start to understand how to better interact on the platform.
• Being able to work backward and identify potential influencers who were already talking about our brand was a great time saver and value.
