Swydo, by DialogTech vs. ReportGarden

Swydo, by DialogTech is great for monitoring your ad spend, reporting on ads, and combining it all into an easy-to-read report. Swydo, by DialogTech is not able to show organic social media metrics, so for us, it is not a complete report of our campaigns because we prefer to include metrics of related social posts.

ReportGarden has been fantastic for us, as a smaller agency, when we need an affordable tool for multiple, smaller clients who are on many different platforms and need to report on all of our metrics, across all tactics, for a holistic picture. ReportGarden has also been easy-to-use for our newer employees, with its simplified platform layout and tools.

• Provides you with a dashboard for clients to login to their own accounts.

• The interface has a bit of a learning curve.
• Because you're directly accessing an API, there is some experimentation needed to get the data that you want.

Incentivized

• ReportGarden is sometimes too simplistic, and doesn't allow you to get down into the details as much as you might need to for more sophisticated clients.
• Sometimes we've had issues with getting all of our separate platforms/campaigns to work together in reporting.
• It would be great if there were different levels to ReportGarden that would allow for more sophisticated agencies to buy into higher-level, more detailed reporting tools.

I've never found as good a combination of value and featured data as Swydo, by DialogTech. I think that Semrush is a great tool, especially for research. And I use some of their social media templates, but the report writer is nowhere near as robust as Swydo, by DialogTech. Supermetrics also has an okay product, but is nowhere near Swydo, by DialogTech's class. Even when I'm only reporting on one platform, I find that Swydo, by DialogTech, is often a better choice than the native report.

Kissmetrics offers a great product, but it can also be painfully expensive. We love the product they're able to provide, but when it came to overhead costs, it didn't make sense for us. ReportGarden is far less expensive and seems to deliver more value, so the decision to go with them was pretty easy. We've upgraded tiers to accommodate more clients a few times and still pay less than Kissmetrics' bottom tier.

Incentivized

• Improved accuracy
• Countless hours saved over years because we use it for regular and ad-hoc reporting. The regular alone is ~5 hours/week.
• Clients who haven't seen this kind of comprehensive reporting are wowed and thrilled.

Incentivized

• Saved hours because we used to do manual reporting.
