It is our duty to distribute different content to our departments. It was hard to have control over every post on our different platforms. With EveryoneSocial, we have been able to even add social platforms where we did not have a presence before. With EveryoneSocial, we have had a better understanding of our target.
The entire product is quite dated - in our two years with the product, only the visuals have been updated. While other products have added things like multi-platform entries, Wildfire is essentially the same as it has been since our first experience with it.
In its self-service mode, the product lacks some essential features like mandatory likes and white label.
Embedding a whitelabel contest is a major undertaking, and requires quite a bit of work within the Facebook developer panel.
I gave it this rating because it is easy to use, creates positive competition between employees about who can have the most impact on the brand, engages others in a way we have not yet been able to duplicate and is very simple.
Our initial contract with Wildfire Whitelabel was for $30,000/year, as we progressed we found several alternatives for significantly less. We used this to our advantage to lower the second year to $17,000 with the limitation in the level of support (they call this their "core" subscription). Support has been quite bad.
During our contract, we also asked for quotes on some custom work, but never managed to get an answer (or actual quote). Now two years into our contract, the limitations and lack of development are enough for us to find a different solution. Newcomers to the market like Rafflecopter, WooBox and PunchTab are delivering much better results for a fraction of the price
Gave me a thorough rundown on everything the software does. Sometimes it is difficult to run through it all over the phone/internet, but I was able to figure it out myself.
It has aquired an almost perfect solution to meet certain aspects of the business and requirements for everyone using the platform. Goals are not only met internally but externally as well making other companies look for that option when doing business with other companies. Equal opportunities are also met when giving the same access to all employees.
Wildfire was a merely an adequate social media tool when it existed as a standalone, but it just couldn't compete against other players like Sprout, Falcon, and Sprinklr.
It's hard to measure the ROI on social media, so I really don't like to think of it in those terms, especially with a tool that is getting your employees to share content on social media. But this tool has helped mobilize my clients' employees into posting on social on their behalf, significantly increasing their share of voice and the sentiment regarding their brands in the market. These are the metrics I like to think about for this type of tool, so I think it's a positive impact in that regard and everyone should have a tool (EveryoneSocial or otherwise) to do this if you want to mobilize your employees on social.
Our TOS and engagement with our fans increased when implementing this.
Social metrics Wildfire provided for the different brands allowed sales opportunity to increase social worth and ultimately increase cost on advertising initiatives.
