User Testimonials
LiftMetrix (discontinued)Talkwalker by Hootsuite
Likelihood to Recommend
I like that I can really dig in to the advanced filers to generate the custom reports that apply to my industry and the accounts I have linked to Hootsuite. I have more experience with some networks and not as much experience with others, so the suggestions I am able to review and implement have been enormously helpful. I have a marketing staff of 4, so having Impact do the legwork helps us focus on the creative aspect of our marketing plan.

Talkwalker is well suited for big companies and agencies that are looking for a long-term solution to keep track of the industry and/or their brands and key competitors. While setup requires a bit of dedication (especially in terms of custom filters and tags), once it's done, the tool will give the user a lot of flexibility to analyze the conversations and find the relevant results that answer the business questions. Companies just looking for a tool to track a short time period, or simple things like Twitter hashtags, won't take advantage of the full capabilities of this tool. Therefore, they could feel frustrated when comparing the outcomes/usage versus the costs.

  • A recent update has made adding filters to the dashboard far more convoluted than necessary.
  • Many metrics are displayed as "3.4M", it would be great if you could hover over that number to see the full "3,371,000".
  • The tagging feature is buggy and often needs to be done twice to tag the mentions applied in the rule.

Performance

Talkwalker gets the job done at a basic level. It performs regular indexing of existing webpages and tracks the instances in which a particular brand or company is mentioned. Especially for being free, this is an awesome resource. However, it should be said that this product does not perform nearly at the level of the paid options.

They are very helpful, but can sometimes be a little too quick and not explain things in as great a depth as we would like. They have great staff and programs, and we don't really have any other major complaints. Support is very responsive and helpful when need be.

Alternatives Considered
This was the first program that I used so do not have anything to compare it to. It does work better than scheduling within Facebook now Meta. I am not looking into other options because I would like to be able to post to more social accounts at a lower cost.

I have yet to find another tool that would provide me with such a detailed information per query. It's such a find! Plus, I get separate emails per a search query and I'm able to archive those emails to the appropriate folders and always have a way of looking back. It's very useful for building monthly reports.

  • Having learned how to better leverage the system has resulted in a greater diversity in projects and clients that we didn't have the capabilities to service before, which has in turn increased our visibility to the wider company.
  • It has reduced the amount of time it takes to do reporting from traditional desk research and utilizing other monitoring tools.
