Likelihood to Recommend
Later is great for not only small and large businesses, but also for influencers who want a curated feed that they can easily auto-publish. If you need to tag your Instagram photos on a consistent basis, that might be a struggle, but in general, for the minimal cost and features, Later is well worth the cost. Additionally, their technical support takes 24-28 hours to respond to via chat, but it's within the software so it's very simple.

Any large organization that is looking to have an effective social media presence and achieve outcomes through advertising would be benefited by using Sprinklr [Modern Sales & Engagement]. The system allows a streamlined way to see how your audience is responding to your posts and advertisements online. It would not be well suited for a company that is not engaged with a social media presence.

Pros
  • Allows you to schedule Instagram Stories Content. No other tool that I have tried allows this feature.
  • Great analytics available for Instagram - something that lacks on many other platforms.
  • The LinkIn.Bio feature allows you to drive traffic to multiple sources, which is helpful for accounts without a swipe-up link.
  • It's easy to switch between accounts if you are managing multiple brands and platforms.

  • Customization - Through Sprinklr's rules and robust custom field creation, you really can create a lot of customization for every facet of your business.
  • Listening - Their Listening Engine and Explorer are fantastic ways to proactively find engagement-friendly conversations, in addition competitively research your brand.
  • Care - Using their case formatting, messages and customer contacts can be routed and assigned easily to available reps, and their bot builder can help to automate your contacts without sacrificing a personal touch.

Cons
  • Would be wonderful if there was a way to copy posts easily.
  • Would be nice to view posts without opening like you plan to edit them. Just want to preview them like an email.
  • Would be nice to be able to schedule posts to Facebook Groups.

  • Overall, Sprinklr rewards users to do a lot of digging on their own to get to the more in-depth functionalities. For instance, the asset manager feature leads you to a dashboard with all the content you ever published but doesn't tell you what to do next or how to organize it
  • Sprinklr offers basic social listening features, but it is much more limited than other pure social listening players like Crimson Hexagon or Brandwatch. It is perfectly usable for a quick search but I wouldn't recommend it as your sole social listening platform

I really do feel that Sprinklr is the most complete enterprise social media program. It covers everything you would need to do to run a strategic social media program. On top of that, the success managers are really the best. Our success manager goes above and beyond for us and has been so helpful to us with setting up some very specific repots and profiles. Paul (our CSM) has been great about keeping us up to date on the latest features and functionality as well as helping us set up innovative dashboards as need

The user interface, training via Sprinklr university and detailed articles on almost every topic in the knowledge portal make Sprinklr a complete package. This is also GDPR compliant, helping us stay good with the info security. The layout of the navigation is easy and anyone new to the tool won't be overwhelmed

Support Rating
Later are not just a software tool, they also provide marketing advice, tips, and tutorials via their blog. I’ve only had to reach out to them for help a few times and have found them to respond much faster than other tools in their category. I receive weekly emails with updates, marketing tips and invites to online events. I look forward to their emails as I’ve learned a lot of things that I’ve been able to actually implement.

Sprinklr Modern Engagement is great for workflow and approvals, especially between teams or in-house/agency relationships. It is not well suited for smaller businesses or companies that have one account per platform. It seems like the functions would be too robust for a small business to handle. If there was an SMB version that would have got a 10 from me.

I don't recall our training in detail. I know we met in person a few times, and did some over-the-phone product walk-throughs. It may have been somewhat informal -- I don't recall having any takeaways to refer to.

Alternatives Considered
It's superior. Simply put. Later has better features and stronger functionalities, many of which none of these other tools have. When I used any of the previous tools there was always something missing so I had no choice but to work with two or three tools at the same time. Later replaced all of those tools and now I can manage everything from one single tool.

Sprinklr Modern Sales & Engagement stacks up [well] against its competitors because it has all the features and functionality
[a] team could expect from this application. And not just that, it has been
updating the application and deploying the latest features frequently that
helps us a lot in our day-to-day operations. I am really happy with it.

Return on Investment
  • Later has at least made me accountable for my content calendar. It helps me schedule posts in advance and allows me to see what my page will look like so I can visually plan out content.
  • Later has helped me post a few times with the auto-post feature. It's been great for my static images, but I just wish I could do it for everything!

  • Assisted with integrating global social media marketing departments together
  • Has resulted in some delayed customer support responses due to technical issues with Facebook integration
  • Lack of ability to message people on Instagram has led to poor community management on this platform.
