Meta Commerce Manager vs. Sendible

Orders from Facebook and Instagram are imported into our platform seamlessly. They automatically get marked as shipped and updated with tracking when we ship them out. Customer communication is not the best, due to site issues. If there is an issue with an order, we frequently need to revisit these orders to communicate with the customer because of error messages when trying to contact them.

I have a fairly straightforward use case for Sendible and it meets almost all of my needs. If you are a small company that needs a collaborative solution to social media content creation, and likely has a small team (or no team) to manage social media postings, I think Sendible is likely a great tool to schedule posts and largely automate social media marketing. A larger company or more involved marketing team could still use Sendible to schedule and collaborate on posts. However, there may be additional features they may want or need (like the ability to promote posts) that may not be available with Sendible.

• Targeted ads.
• Analytics.
• Simplicity (at basic level).

• Content Calendar. It is easy to filter channels to get an overall look at what content is to post for any given channel.
• Customer Support. They are quick to respond/alert when something is down or if you need assistance with anything regarding their product.
• Organization. It is very easy to find what you are looking for. If there was a post that didn't go up, there is a place to find it and report it. If there was a task assigned to me, I know exactly where to go to complete it.

• Nuances of service are confusing.
• Pricing is all over the place.
• Customer services can be lacking.

• I would love to see more services available to add as I'm constantly adding new customers.
• It would be great and very useful if they had a clickable calendar to view which dates are already booked with posts for a quick reference while scheduling new posts.

If I am given a larger budget to work with then I'd like a program that tracks and collects my PR hits, as well as sends me important info to respond to. I realy like the way New Brand Analytics tracks my Trip Advisor,etc ratings

Site navigation isn't the best, but there are many tools available for you to use. Plenty of data on metrics and everything else you would be looking for on a platform like this.

The reporting can be a little clunky, and the uploading of files while straight forward is a little clunky too as far as just a simple drag/drop. However, the rest of the platform works great. The RSS feed feature is fantastic to curate content, and the calendar is easy to use to get the scheduling process started. Overall this platform is straightforward, easy to use and a great alternative to the wallet theives of the industry

You can only contact support via Facebook Messenger. They are fairly quick to respond, but cannot always help you. When items get falsely flagged as inappropriate for the platform, it is a crap shoot whether or now submitting them to be re-evaluated will pan out.

Sendible has a great resource center which I have used multiple times throughout my year using the platform. There are plenty of troubleshooting articles and guides that make it easy to uncover the root of any small issues I may have.

Using an outside product, such as Hootsuite, is mostly a lot easier for our organization than Meta Commerce Manager. Hootsuite (or software like it) is simpler to understand, presents a better analytic user interface, and feels more cost-effective. Automating process is simpler with Hootsuite. Navigating Meta's various help websites is a disaster, as they have many different, conflicting, and/or outdated pieces of advice.

Sendible integrates with almost every social media platform and upon request they can even add a channel for you that is not currently integrated, an offer you can not get elsewhere. If your business is focused on selling more, increasing website traffic or expanding the audience then Sendible is worth trying.

• Community engagement.
• Needs better and more simple analytics.
• Needs trainings.

Incentivized

• It helps my business, to manage my clients social media.
• However I was hoping to capture more people who want to use the tool as DIY which has not happened.
• I do not want to let it go but it is currently more of an expense then bringing in a return.
