Curata vs. Scoop.it Content Director

I liked Curata, but it depends on the use case of how it will be used as to how effective it is for someone. If you are trying to curate content it works great. Had I not been so put off by the issue mentioned earlier I would have given more effort to learn the CMS, so I am not sure how effective it really is.

Scoop.it does have collaboration features so you can have more than one admin add content to a topic, but there is no platform for collaboration or drafting of content. It is easy to try out the free version and get a good idea of what the application does, and then add on features from there

• Allows you to curate content and narrow your search parameters to pretty specific areas.
• It learns your selections and overtime serves up better and more relevant content.
• It works very well with WordPress, it integrates smoothly and allows you to share content on the fly with their Chrome plug-in.
• Curata's support is great, if you need them they will help out quickly to resolve your issues.

• Graphics are Scoop.it's strength. Scoop.it sites look great on social media; they invite people in to a much larger room of information, and engage them with color and well-placed articles. We love the design and it is very easy to share.
• We like the fact that we can add a few comments of our own as well as recommend other sources. This keeps the information personal.
• For important topics, one facebook post or one article illustration just isn't enough. Scoop.it allows us to cluster information that is obviously tied together but gives a variety of perspectives on a topic.

• more subscription plans as not all people need all features.

• Can't seem to get the advertisements for products blocked from the suggestions area. Scrolling through all of them is a real time wasting activity.

For all of the features we loved when we signed on like the microsite and search capabilities and also their customer service, we will very likely renew with Curata. We also really like the evolution we have seen of the solution, just recently a new integration with Marketo (also a vendor of ours) was announced which will be very beneficial to us in optimizing our email newsletters

I love the ease of use, beautiful profile page each user receives, and the ability to share on multiple platforms with the touch of a button. If you don't have articles to share, Scoop.it provides suggestions for you daily. Anyone can set up a page in minutes, set up topics, choose relevant keywords, and begin! It's really that simple.

We closely considered Rallyverse before deciding on Curata. Rallyverse had superior social sharing capabilities, but Curata's microsite and email newsletter features plus the infinite content source and feed search capabilities far outweighed what Rallyverse has to offer at this time. We are very happy with our decision

We used both social sites and as a personal preference, I liked Scoop.it considerably more because of the layout of the site and the ease of the user experience. It was also much easier to share content. I like to think of Scoop.it as the "short, sweet and to the point" website that gives me exactly what we need, when we need it and the manner in which it easiest to use.
