Kompyte is a great tool to have to enable your sales team. Whether your team members are well-versed in competitive intelligence, or are brand new to the industry, this is a way for team members to share relevant insights. It's a go-to when asked questions by clients about your company versus competitors.

It is great for competitive analysis if that's an ongoing need, and the upside of how it calculates engagement rate is that it's consistent across competitors (even if I think the methodology is flawed). We really only used the competitive data up front, and then sparingly afterward. If you want true impressions/engagement rate for Twitter, Instagram, and in some cases Facebook, then this is not as good.

Pros
  • Social/Blog Monitoring: We can see how many social/blog posts our competitors are making, how many engagements (likes, shares, etc) they receive, and what their engagement rate is.
  • Competitor Page Monitoring: We are able to see before and after pictures of web pages after our competitors them. This feature enables us to quickly and easily see competitor's changes in copy, creative and pricing.
  • Benchmarking: Kompyte benchmarks us against our competitors for effectiveness in SEO and paid ads.

  • The overall comparisons for the competitors is a great way to benchmark if you're using engagement data as measurements.

Cons
  • Kompyte has a tool that is supposed to track ads after specific keywords are bid on by competitors; however, competing platforms offer greater visibility and analytics for this function.
  • The Notebook function in the tool is meant to be a repository for notes and mentions across the organization; however, it doesn't seem to be automatically updated and it requires a lot of manual processes to function.
  • The SEO analysis is reliant on keywords that we provide - the tool would be much more valuable if it pulled in raw organic data outside of what we are specifically targeting or tracking.

  • Include new metrics not only based on engagement.
  • New metrics for Instagram ads.

Support is continuous and very helpful. Email, phone, and chat support are always on and someone is always there to help. Your CSR will contact you quarterly to take your temperature and offer assistance or training, if necessary. Feature requests are taken seriously. They share their product development roadmap, which is a major plus.

Alternatives Considered
Komypte is the leader content and social monitoring; however, when it comes to SEO and keyword monitoring, alternative platforms like SEMRush provide much more low-level data and a better robust analytics experience

These products are similar, but don't provide the same friendly interface or analytical view of the social space. Both of the platforms above (Olapic + Track Maven) are great for social media users, influencers, and trend-data, but if you're looking at improving your own brands' performance, Rival IQ is the best bet.
