    Sprout Social and Hootsuite are both MUCH more user-friendly. The Sprout reps have been amazing and help with everything!

    Chose Sprinklr Social
    Sprinklr appears to be priced between the 2 however, this is no support (apart from logging support tickets/issues) so it's not like for like.

    Chose Sprinklr Social
    Sprinklr is a far superior tool that has more breadth and more tools under a unified platform. The listening, reporting, account management, advertising, content management was a lot more developed than the other companies we vetted. I spent weeks talking with various companies …

    Chose Sprinklr Social
    At the time, Sprinklr was cutting edge, plus Sprout gets pretty pricey the more accounts you need to update and doubly so, the more people you need to give access to.

    Chose Sprinklr Social
    As I mentioned earlier, I enjoyed SproutSocial best, however, you are forced to use the publishing module if you want the paid module. I don't think the modern engagement module is bad, but it is not user-friendly and makes it difficult to engage with users. Plus, you can't …

    Sprinklr has all the features and more integrated into one platform and with API access to all platforms and superior data visualization. Sprinklr is the best tool for enterprise-level clients.

    Chose Sprinklr Social
    None of these tools are incredibly easy to use but I found Sprinklr to be the most robust. Moreover, Sprinklr's support and account teams are excellent. I believe this to be an additional benefit as they're always quick to help solve any questions or issues that may arise.

    Chose Sprinklr Social
    I think that Sprinklr is strongest in analytics and community management - however - the interface of the other platforms I have used is more friendly and other colleagues have a harder time with navigating the Sprinklr platform.

    Chose Sprinklr Social
    Sprinklr is competitive within its category, but like the other brands, it offers the same general suite of tools with different branding.

    We looked at Sprout Social, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, & SocialEngage.

    Sprout Social and EngageSocial are good products for mid-market organizations with relatively simple needs. They have excellent monitoring / listening capabilities, but less robust reporting capabilities.
    Sprout Social
    Chose Sprout Social
    Sprout is a lot easier to use, much more convenient and overall my favorite of the two. I like the sections they use for navigation more than I do the Sprinklr dashboard and reporting. I also prefer the options for scheduling posts because you can just upload the photo or video …

    In my perspective, I would say Sprinklr Modern Sales &
    Engagement is best suited for teams and organizations who are more involved in
    automating social media activities, getting a great analytical report on
    activity engagement, and generating lists and bolds that helps determine the
    trends and events, etc. One of the best tools that one could use for clients
    with every information they would need.

    IMO it's best for an organization that has a lot of different people working on social media. They could be in different departments or just different members of the same team responsible for different types of posts (corporate, e-commerce, branding, etc.). I don't think it's as vital for a one-person team working solely within the Meta platform, for instance, especially if they're less concerned with detailed analytics.

    Pros
    Sprinklr
    • Customization - Through Sprinklr's rules and robust custom field creation, you really can create a lot of customization for every facet of your business.
    • Listening - Their Listening Engine and Explorer are fantastic ways to proactively find engagement-friendly conversations, in addition competitively research your brand.
    • Care - Using their case formatting, messages and customer contacts can be routed and assigned easily to available reps, and their bot builder can help to automate your contacts without sacrificing a personal touch.

    • For each account, customize posts for each platform, and schedule them to go live simultaneously.
    • Employee Advocacy via Sprout Social has integrated AI assistance for captions. Usually I would generate one suggested caption for employees to use/stem from when re-sharing to their socials. But now, EA message ideas display in random orders to better promote the full range of content.
    • Sprout Social has made the option to gamify the sharing concept quite easily with Employee Advocacy. Using the Leaderboard feature, employees can earn points in Employee Advocacy. Customized point values ensure you know how to climb the Leaderboard and start some friendly competition.

    Cons
    Sprinklr
    • Overall, Sprinklr rewards users to do a lot of digging on their own to get to the more in-depth functionalities. For instance, the asset manager feature leads you to a dashboard with all the content you ever published but doesn't tell you what to do next or how to organize it
    • Sprinklr offers basic social listening features, but it is much more limited than other pure social listening players like Crimson Hexagon or Brandwatch. It is perfectly usable for a quick search but I wouldn't recommend it as your sole social listening platform

    • Social media platforms don't always play nice with Sprout so it will always be a challenge to get all integrations to work properly.
    • Sprout Social is a growing organization and they are acquiring new technologies, which can be good. However, they often spend time in meetings upselling new services. I like to learn about enhancements and opportunities but prefer to focus on my investments first.

    I really do feel that Sprinklr is the most complete enterprise social media program. It covers everything you would need to do to run a strategic social media program. On top of that, the success managers are really the best. Our success manager goes above and beyond for us and has been so helpful to us with setting up some very specific repots and profiles.

    Sprout Social's ease of use and navigation throughout the technology are relatively easy to figure out and teach. We also had a representative thoroughly walk us through the features and functionality to set us up for success in using the platform. I didn’t give it a ten because there were times when the navigation didn’t make sense, but once you figured out the quirks, it didn’t cause any trouble.

    Return on Investment
    Sprinklr
    • Reports can be customized and exported easily in many different formats. I especially like the PowerPoint version of reports. It quickly and professionally creates a custom slideshow to show the metrics of the platforms and time periods you choose. This is a great way to keep your company's C-level executives informed on your team's progress and investing in your efforts. This is especially true for executives that do not personally use or understand the value of social media.
    • Brand reputation management is always a great investment. The dashboard alerts you in real-time when your brand or product is mentioned across any of the platforms and offers a quick and efficient way to respond. The Sprinklr customer experience cloud can be implemented across your entire organization, including CRM and email systems.
    • If you're not growing you're dying. That alone helps me with the ROI of using Sprinklr for my client's business objectives.

    • One positive impact has been a huge time saver for our team. Where we once had multiple systems and delays from producing content to approval to publishing, now everything is seamless.
    • Another positive impact is streamlining the onboarding process for new team members. Sprout Social is user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy to study even for someone completely new to social media.
    • One negative impact has been the time it takes to wade through irrelevant social listening posts. The filtering is not effective enough to eliminate the noise.
