It is very well suited for scheduling Instagram posts, and tagging products from our eCommerce site using Like2Buy. We are just about to start using another product of theirs. Very competitive pricing.

Talkwalker is well suited for big companies and agencies that are looking for a long-term solution to keep track of the industry and/or their brands and key competitors. While setup requires a bit of dedication (especially in terms of custom filters and tags), once it's done, the tool will give the user a lot of flexibility to analyze the conversations and find the relevant results that answer the business questions. Companies just looking for a tool to track a short time period, or simple things like Twitter hashtags, won't take advantage of the full capabilities of this tool. Therefore, they could feel frustrated when comparing the outcomes/usage versus the costs.

Cons
  • Honestly, they are doing a great job, and I can't think of anything I could see them doing differently.

  • A recent update has made adding filters to the dashboard far more convoluted than necessary.
  • Many metrics are displayed as "3.4M", it would be great if you could hover over that number to see the full "3,371,000".
  • The tagging feature is buggy and often needs to be done twice to tag the mentions applied in the rule.

Talkwalker gets the job done at a basic level. It performs regular indexing of existing webpages and tracks the instances in which a particular brand or company is mentioned. Especially for being free, this is an awesome resource. However, it should be said that this product does not perform nearly at the level of the paid options.

They are very helpful, but can sometimes be a little too quick and not explain things in as great a depth as we would like. They have great staff and programs, and we don't really have any other major complaints. Support is very responsive and helpful when need be.

Alternatives Considered
Hootsuite is great, but Curalate allows you to schedule videos, which is a huge advantage. The Like2Buy integration is also key.

I have yet to find another tool that would provide me with such a detailed information per query. It's such a find! Plus, I get separate emails per a search query and I'm able to archive those emails to the appropriate folders and always have a way of looking back. It's very useful for building monthly reports.

Return on Investment
  • Decent increase in web traffic via the Like2Buy functionality.
  • Small increase in sales via Instagram posts featuring Like2Buy links.

  • Having learned how to better leverage the system has resulted in a greater diversity in projects and clients that we didn't have the capabilities to service before, which has in turn increased our visibility to the wider company.
  • It has reduced the amount of time it takes to do reporting from traditional desk research and utilizing other monitoring tools.
