Kapost vs. Uberflip

I think the filters within the custom fields and custom details is its strongest feature for us. So I would say, the more content you have, the more use you'll get out of Kapost, especially if you need to organize your content in a lot of different ways (as we do for our targeted marketing). We still format edit/publish blogs via WordPress (although we put the draft in Kapost), but blogs aren't necessarily our #1 thing. Perhaps, for people who are really blog-centric, another platform may be better. Kapost is really good, I think, for copy that has a lot of hands on it, and can really benefit from well-structured work flows and a really comprehensive metadata system.

Uberflip is well suited to bring your larger organization into sharing content. Instead of relying only on marketing to be driving content, Uberflip has made it easy to integrate content into the sales process or client services process, with the ability to make the experience unique to sales or CS. Where Uberflip may not be as suited is if you are looking for landing pages to capture leads, most of the time for landing pages designed to sell a product you want to add specific feature copy and be able to place a gate over content without having a user jumping from page to page, while also having the gate capturing information and allowing you to trigger activities from your marketing automation system. Uberflip doesn't allow you to add copy or manipulate a landing page and only allows you to add information from a gate to a static list, which does not allow you to automate the process.

• Sets you up with a strategist. You are able to be in constant communication through Kapost with your strategist and send one another working proofs and comments.
• Unity - it has made all our email campaigns have a similar look and feel. Kapost has shown results on the appropriate amount of images to use and the type of language that works.
• Stay on track - each person is notified when the role before theirs is complete so they know when it is their turn to act upon something.

• Sales Enablement - We can now have Sales pick and choose what content they want to send out to Clients/Prospects while having all of the data tracked on the back-end
• Content Management - We can host all of our PDF content in Uberflip so it is easy to pull individually or into sales/marketing use cases
• Client Relations - Our CSM and the entire Uberflip team has been incredibly helpful in getting us off the ground and helping us figure out how Uberflip fits in exactly with our use cases.

• Search is valuable but the key words seem to take a while for the system to find, I have to use multiple word choices or switch to a specific collection.
• I think some type of links from search could be useful.
• Layout isn't the prettiest.

• Decent amount of bugs in the system, constantly need to work with support.
• Continues to raise their prices without adding much extra value.
• Lots of turnover on their customer team's.
• Somewhat customizable but could use some work on making hubs not all look exactly the same.
• Mixed bag on the helpfulness of their teams.
• Not overly proactive with suggestions for optimization or knowledge of their accounts.

We are using some other systems that might have replaced Kapost, but none of them had the workflow functionality we were looking for. So, we're sticking with Kapost for now.

This serves all of our content marketing needs, but our sales team does need a more robust sales enablement solution. It's hard to have the engagement/usage data for different kinds of content in disparate systems. But I've looked for years and been unable to find a one-size-fits-all solution to solve all marketing and sales enablement use cases.

The calendar view is a great feature and so are the custom views. It is relatively easy to see a clear view of what content the user is responsible for and then the due dates associated to it. The ability to create and update workflows for the team is easy to navigate and keeps us on track.

For me this has been very easy to use. Once we got the basics down it was easily repeatable and if we did end up having questions our point of contact was very helpful and fast in getting our questions answered. If it was above their capabilities they brought in a support professional who really made it easy for us to learn and replicate their steps.

After using Uberflip for more than a year, we have yet to experience any down time.

The reputation of the product matches up to its reputation as one of the leaders in the space. I love that you can share and access content at your fingertips from anywhere. The downside is that it does not have the prettiest interface but you can get over this with its functionality.

The support and the team at Uberflip is THE BEST!!! They are seriously so great. They got to know me on a personal level and really cared about getting my Hub set up the way I wanted and they want my Hub to be successful. They even took a few of us out to dinner when they were in my area for a marketing event. They are always there to help me and only a quick email or phone call away

It wasn't exactly training but there was a step by step check list of things in a project the Uberflip team shared with me. There were links to helpful articles on it that walked me through how to set things up

The implementation team was with us every step of the way, helping us map what needed to be done, providing examples of other customers and being as hands-on as we needed

I've used basic tools like SharePoint in the past as a content repository, but it's not user friendly, not well organized, hard to manage and not well-suited for marketing content (version control issues, etc. ). Get a dedicated tool!

When it comes to asset management, Uberflip has a HubSpot beat. That doesn't mean HubSpot isn't necessary for other functions, but when it comes to the content itself, the backend organization, reporting (item and stream level), and delivery of the content is much more useful in Uberflip. Otherwise, they have the same learning curve.

It's easy to expand across an organization and the software is continuously being improved with new features rolled out to all users

• Kapost streamlined a lot of different processes across marketing.
• We hope that people are finding assets they need rather than requesting new ones get created.
• Having a central location for assets has helped to prevent outdated documents from appearing in different locations.

• Has allowed us to really understand what content is resonating most with our audiences.
• Ability to clearly see what channels/campaigns are driving the most qualified traffic, which helps us with budget allocations year-to-year.
• Enrichment has given us a very detailed look at activity on the user-level, which our sales team loves!
