Vishakha P.

Social Media Manager

“What I liked most about Brandwatch was the Security, Analytics and Reporting capabilities, along with the strong data coverage and customizable reports.”
SO

Stefanie O.

Customer success

“It also has a strong cost-benefit for us, and the fact that it’s aligned with data protection standards like LGPD brings a lot of security, it’s even helped us move forward and close deals.”
DA

Daniel A.

Senior Market Intelligence and Consumer Insights Analyst

Cons

“With Hootsuite, LinkedIn doesn’t allow you to schedule PDF uploads, which is a shame.”
DM

Demi M.

Community Manager

“You also can only add business LinkedIn pages (I was unable to add personal accounts for clients).”
AB

Ali B.

Owner

“Can be hard to focus and scheduling posts in the application don't carry as much weight as in the mobile applications”
MD

Mike D.

Owner

Cons

“The reporting component. When data pulled through Brandwatch was compared to data pulled from in platform, the figures did not match.”
JH

Jordan H.

Social Media Coordinator

“I found that more of our complex issues were not able to be efficiently solved by the online customer service team, and some issues dragged out for weeks.”
JH

Jordan H.

Social Media Coordinator

“Across large datasets it frequently cited the same mention to support multiple different insights, which made it feel less like a rigorous analytical tool and more like a pattern-matcher looking for something to say.”
