PowerReviews is a great tool for outside customers to leave reviews, however, it is not very friendly for the team that is taking the information, analyzing it, and trying to learn from it. Their website can be much improved for ease of use, additionally, it may just be my server, but it takes a lot of time for information to load, even if the review volume is 0. Just all the baggage that comes with the page loading makes it slow

If you're on a tight budget, Review Trackers is a great choice. There are a lot of expensive solutions out there, but Review Trackers is very affordable, even for small businesses. Make sure that Review Trackers will pull reviews from sources specific to your industry. I'm in the automotive industry, so Review Trackers will pull reviews from Cars.com, Edmunds, and other auto specific review sites.

Pros
  • Their flexibility with moderation options works well for our business. We can moderate immediately, or have PowerReviews handle the first round of moderation.
  • The back end reporting allows us to export and distribute review content on an automated schedule, helping our product managers get first hand feedback.
  • Easy for customers to leave reviews, with some customization by product type built in and configurable for our products.
  • Also relatively easy to drop visitors in to a review form for the exact product they've purchased.
  • Good value compared to the other major player in the consumer review space.

  • Ease of tracking - everything about a review is on a dashboard.
  • Easy to respond - at the click of a link, we can respond immediately.
  • Ease of Reporting - reviews are able to be filtered and reported.
  • Reliability - we are able to see reviews come in at a timely manner.
  • Informative - we can see where the reviews come from even when the same review is pasted on several directories.

Cons
  • If you lack basic coding knowledge (or don't have someone on your team to set this up) it may be a bit of a challenge to get started.
  • The backend has a bit of a learning curve to it, but can be worked through easily with persistence.

  • Implementation was a bit of a pain. I personally had to do a good bit of work to ensure that all web properties were being tracked for each entity.
  • Sentiment analysis is still in beta.
  • Menu navigation doesn't always make sense.

No complaints. For a great price, we get exactly what we need out of it. Templates for review requests, as well as the ability to monitor the requests coming in and what our patients are saying about our services. It also gives the patients easy access to a direct link to review sites.

It was super easy to access the dashboard and view everything that was going on. I also love the review request template ... it's great at the end of the week starting to see reviews come in.

They are always there when I need them, and there has never been an issue with the support team. They are prompt with their responses and always very polite and eager to help me out. I also frequently have them asking me if there is anything additional they can do, which I greatly appreciate

Alternatives Considered
PowerReviews provided the best balance of price and value. bazaarvoice is popular in the industry but when we compared pricing and features we did not see any compelling reason to spend more. PowerReviews also had the easiest team to work with in the sales process, and that has continued into the engagement.

New Brand was a LOT more expensive and really didn't provide much more than what Review Trackers does. They did, however, have a "heatmap" that highlighted popular words used in reviews. That was helpful to see a snapshot of what types of things people are reviewing on our restaurants. They lost their contract with Yelp towards the end, but didn't offer us any sort of discount for no longer pulling Yelp reviews for us. That was the last straw. We get a ton of Yelp reviews, so having to find those ourselves while still paying top dollar for the platform was ridiculous

Return on Investment
  • Custom components and PowerReviews API can display positive customer feedback from an element.
  • In return for honest reviews and answers to customer questions, we provide genuine and authentic feedback and let customers strain new products.
  • Syndicated reviews help customers see how products work in real life, which increases trust in our website/business and the products and boosts conversions.

  • ReviewTrackers has met each expectation we have set with ease. We've been able to maintain a more visible presence in the public review space, showing our past and potential guests we are engaged and take their feedback seriously.
  • We are able to set goals for our properties to try and receive a higher score year over year for specific platforms and this wouldn't be possible without ReviewTrackers ability to have the entirety of each property's historical data.
