In my opinion, I think that Brandify is a great software for managing large databases and allowing multiple users to access and edit data at the same time. For medium to large companies that have a strong emphasis on viewing and replying to all their customer reviews. Brandify can save a considerable amount of time and energy by getting everything together in one place.

Usability
If you wish to reduce stress of managing multiple social media handles from a single place, you can use Hearsay Social. Hearsay Social helps you analyze, automate, schedule posts and even give ideas for posts. Rather than multitasking, one would obliviously choose a single place to track your posts. It also fares greatly as compared to its competitors. It has a great interface. Very easy and simple to use.

Alternatives Considered
Facebook Business Manager is also good however it has some limitations like it's very difficult to remove an ad account, we cannot schedule shared posts and the user interface is a bit complicated and not user-friendly. I like the user interface of Hearsay Social. I find it very simple and easy to use. Also, it has all the features that you might require in Social Media Management tool.

I used the basic Hootsuite subscription to schedule organic social media posts. However, it fell short in assisting franchises or businesses with multiple locations because it lacks the ability to localize content. So, you would essentially have to create 50 posts for 50 business locations if you wanted to include a unique phone number. SOCi lets you do that with one post. It also lacked a rolled up reporting feature. SOCi can show me what's going on at a high level as well as at the location level or group level.

  • We're still new to the platform and determining this information.
  • We know that some time is saved by the information being gathered together in one place, but we've also spent a lot of time discussing concerns/questions with their care team and getting fully set up.
