SE Ranking is on a good track when it comes to rank tracking. It displays a graph of your average position over time which is helpful and it can also help you when it comes to identifying some basic SEO issues with your website. It boasts as an all-around SEO tool, which it definitely isn't because it lacks a link database to be your go-to tool for everything SEO. Its UI is not optimized for ease of use, thus offering sub-par user experience. It has two different interfaces for different SEO tools which, I hope, they can incorporate into one.

  • Rank racking. It’s really important for us that the ranks are tracked accurately.
  • Monitoring of changes made on the website. We’ve found this feature really useful.

  • I really don't think SE Ranking has many flaws. They are also rolling out an app at the moment - SE Ranking Pro - need to test that one.
  • Some more video tutorials on the site on how to use some tools would be helpful.
  • More in-system popups would be more helpful too.

Usability
I gave SAP Cloud for Social Engagement this rating because of the success I have seen personally within my company. I gave a rating of '10' because I highly recommend this product to others. Having better insight into my client's and vendor's opinion of my company's brand and services has allowed us to market ourselves better

They had a huge update recently and the platform is now even better. Although not all the tools are yet in the new design.

Support Rating
I provided SAP Cloud for Social Engagement this rating since the product has such a great backing along with the SAP brand itself. There is a lot of support behind this product as it connects with a variety of social media platforms, like Facebook and Twitter. The support provided by SAP in terms of tech help is wonderful as well. There is a lot of support from all angles

The support is great but they don't have 24/7 support. And time zones can also be an issue sometimes. On the other hand there are plenty of guides and videos around to get yourself started. I never really needed support for "big" issues. And the help I got was good enough.

Alternatives Considered
  • SAP Cloud for Social Engagement's analytic capabilities proved far more financially viable than that of Cvent or Oracle's capabilities.
  • SAP Cloud for Social Engagement allows me to find clients and vendors by targeting key words within social media messages and sort them by urgency and relevance. Having a better understanding of our client's wants and needs helps my company gain traction against our competitors.

SE Ranking was our choice based on the suite of features it offered compared to competitors as well as the # of projects you could manage. From a cost perspective, we feel it provides the most value for your money. Other SEO tools did not offer the lead generation features that SE Ranking offered as part of their monthly plan.

  • The website "health" report has allowed us to fix things that Google might find strange or cause us to lose rankings, which has been very helpful.
  • It's given us more visibility into what exactly our SEO management company is doing and how they are performing, and if things are changing or not. It's very easy to see right from the dashboard.
  • Being able to see how our competitors stack up against us has helped us know where to improve, what to focus on, and how to be even better.
