User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
- Very well suited to grabbing top-level and more in-depth social performance data, across campaigns and BAU activity. - Not as well suited for moments where you need benchmarking or context of your performance compared with a previous time frame. This can be a bit clunky to go back and forth with as it requires multiple dashboards or consistent manual time-frame changes.

Simply Measured is great for people who do not want to spend too much time analyzing their owned social channel data but instead want a short and sweet snapshot of the your brand's performance. It is less appropriate for people who want to easily manipulate their data in many different ways.

Pros
  • Publishing - takes a bit of time, but publishing all content together makes planning and execution much more efective
  • Community - really simple one board collecting of all our social messages makes replying simple
  • dashboards - widgets and customisation allow for multiple dashboards tracking various campaigns and goals

  • Customer service analysis has been extremely useful for determining sentiment and adding context to real time crisis situations.
  • Convenience of pulling data for all social channels at one time is extremely effective in making decisions in real time and to compare against other channel performance. The cross channel export minimizes a great deal of time for exporting data. Nearly all social channel data is available.
  • Reports are extremely user friendly, visual and easy to export. Also the ability to see the raw data and to have it for historical reference is great.
  • Key insights generated in the dashboard page help add fast context for performance.

Cons
  • Would love more robust search parameters for labels. ex. search for tickets labeled 'Availability' AND 'United States' but excluding any that are only one of those labels
  • Ability to break conversations into multiple tickets; so labels can be more accurate if the same person reaches out again after 3 months with a totally different question
  • The social account quick view doesn't always load the follower count for people reaching out to us. it makes it slower to manager messages from high level creators

  • I wish I could download the entire reports as a jpg.
  • More often than I'd have liked, I had to re-authorize my accounts.
  • It would be nice to be able to move the graphs around to reflect my client's individual needs.

the balance between quality and price si perfectperfect for agency that have many client to manage, because it helps us to save time (we don't have to plan content from every single account, only one click to look at different community and moderate...)it also help the team works: senior can review content direcly from emplifi; labeling DM/comments as done help us to track where a collegue stop and we have to startIt makes the content approval from clients very easy

For my current client, it's not right - they would not be actionable with the data to really need this tool. For my past clients, I would suggest they stay on it and i think they would agree.

Usability
Since the main use of the Live Advisor is on the website that doesn't have e-commerce capabilities, it has been challenging to attach an specific metric to Emplifi's solutions and their usability in our websites. The Live Advisor is helping us to deliver our unique sale proposition in digital channels, which is great, but it is difficult to assign a higher mark in usability due to the limitation just explained.

The interface is very simple and organized around the core elements of the platform : the reports.

Support Rating
Every time I've reached out to our account manager or even support in general, they've been there. I love the fact that I can always ask for help. Also, the chat function within the tool is helpful as well. It is something I always look for in a solution because when you're in the middle of working, and there is an issue, you can quickly reach out and get an answer.

Extremely fast response and they go above and beyond without asking. The support team has provided me data beyond our limit before and it was not an issue and not an extra cost, really good business support.

Alternatives Considered
Its so much better and more stable and easier to work with their team If you're on Agora you should switch, you wont regret it and you'll probably get a better price. I used to deal with Agora breaking in some odd way every week, and Emplifi Service Cloud hasn't broken in any way in the almost a year we've used it.

Customer service and the sales team is what was a key seller for us. We didn't feel pressured to buy something we wouldn't use and they we're able to listen to our needs and give us what fit for us. We've tried hootsuite but it's was too much out of the box

  • Tumblr was a huge channel for us but so opaque. Simply Measured really helped us start to understand how to better interact on the platform.
  • Being able to work backward and identify potential influencers who were already talking about our brand was a great time saver and value.
