Engagor (discontinued) vs. Radarr

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

Radarr is best suited for businesses that need to reach out to their target audience across multiple digital channels; it really helps track how effective the campaigns are and even improve on them based on what users tend to engage with the most on each platform. It can help streamline strategies.

• 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

• Helps us track online conversations in an industry/ around a topic
• Helps us track trending topics/ themes to include in content marketing strategies
• Helps us analyze the response to the content created for different digital channels

• 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.

• Would love to have a topic generator in-built

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.

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.

Radarr brings you more comprehensive data and covers more digital platforms. In times when it is important to be present where your audience is and reach out to them at the right time, with the right message, that comprehensive view of data is what can help strategize better and run campaigns effectively. Also, love the visualization of data; that makes it all easy to understand.

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

• Better understanding of the target audience
• Better organic campaign reach
• Better audience engagement and response rate
