Social Mention vs. Zoho Social

If you are curious about what someone is saying about your brand, this tool helps you to know how your brand is performing on all social media sites. Also seeing the previous results you can predict future performance. This data helps a lot in the future planning. This tool doesn't give perfect results though. Also, it can indicate your sentiments of mentions if they are angry, or happy.

n a crowded landscape of scheduling software options, this particular solution stands out as a beacon of simplicity and user-friendliness. What truly sets it apart is its ability to strike a delicate balance between ease of use and content flexibility. Unlike some other platforms that may impose restrictions on content size and compromise quality during scheduling, this software manages to preserve the integrity of the content while offering an intuitive interface.

• Find sentiment of online buzz for your product/service/brand
• Monitor many different online websites that are talking about your brand all in one place
• Find keywords that are being used by consumers when they think of you

• Zoho Social helps us develop posts, and it facilitates the automated publishing, which is vital in sharing the content we want.
• Besides, Zoho Social is fruitful in customer engagement plan, where the software manages different accounts, and there is free communications throughout.
• Finally, there is social media evaluation, monitoring, and analytics, and all of them brings to us an inference that is accurate and digital.

• Filtering - better filtering of unrelated brand info. i.e. we are only interested in @accav items from the US - not from overseas

• The Calendar view displaying published posts would be a great feature. You can view published posts displayed in a list, but when scheduling and arranging posts based on a calendar, seeing upcoming posts as well as past posts can be very helpful.

I love that Social Mention is so easy to use. It does not take a long time to learn how to navigate the site when you need information quickly. I don't use it as much in my new job, but I recommend it for basic monitoring and when you need social media information right away

I am enjoying using Zoho Social and I look forward to really unwrapping what it has to offer. I need to be able to essentially offload all my social media posting and work so that I can do the actual work of sewing clothes, which is what my business actually does. This way, I can spend a few weeks making different types of content while also sewing clothes and post the content in a way that builds a story for my business and is entertaining.

I think it provides good value for money, a streamlined, intuitive, user friendly platform, with lots of features I'm still discovering. The social media publishing is easy and effective to use. We would love to see the monitoring feature included in the basic package but for the price you can't ask much more, really

The guys at Zoho are amazing. They are always in touch and are willing to help. They regularly send support emails to find out how they can help. They send tips and information on updates. When you need help, they don't hesitate to call. Support is really great from Zoho.

It doesn't work as well since we changed our name. We used to have a very unique twitter handle etc. so it was easier for social mention to find us. For folks who have unique names it's excellent if you don't it may not be that helpful.

Social Mention stacks up against these as Social Mention is more reliable for data than others. it provides really nice statistics of reach, influence, sentiment and helps find brand's influences. It is quick and offers a great snapshot of the volume of your Tweets & Twitter presence. Supports a lot of social media sites like Facebook, Google+ etc.

Zoho Social is more practical. It has the features we need. We just want to share content on our social media accounts and view the post-share stats. The integration process is easy, the sharing process is easy, and these are the key features we need at the moment. Also, we can manage our team and responsibilities by Zoho Social's permission system quite efficiently.

• The paid-version actually had a negative ROI for us as it would sometimes feed us topically inappropriate articles and didn't allow us to filter by source so as to eliminate inappropriate blogs and inappropriate news sources (like highly politically partisan ones).

• Zoho Social allows me to "see" my messaging planning weeks into the future. I can create themes for a week or month and easily see how it performs.
• Having all my social accounts in one place saves me time.
• It is too early for any ROI from Zoho but the amount of content I am putting out has increased by at least 400%.
