Opal Pricing, Features, Reviews and Alternatives

We like the calendar views - it's simple, but having a highly visual and impactful UI allows our teams to quickly asses where we are over-scheduled or need more content. The approval process also lets everyone know what they are responsible for managing across disparate and remote teams. That 's been crucial during our work in the last year as we were all virtual.

Mobile parity on iOS and Android - it's a hard process for everyone to mimic functionality and features in desktop to mobile. But as we all leaned into working remotely, we all turned to our mobile devices more frequently. Driving parity is key to keeping competitive.

Kelley, thank you for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. I love hearing that Opal helped your team pivot to remote work, making content management and approvals easier. And on behalf of the Customer Success and Product teams, thank you for the kind words about our support and UI design. I'll certainly share your compliments, along with your feedback about iOS vs Android. Thank you for being a customer! Donna Schultz Sr. Director Customer Success

I find the simplicity of the interface very user-friendly. Esthetically pleasing! Unlike many content management systems, there are not overused steps for a simple action. Customizable workflows & tracking capabilities are extremely useful. I also like that the platform easily integrates with other popular tools.

Development of the task deadline. Although there is a deadline functionality, our teams are not reacting to it. Partially feel it's a behavior change opportunity, but maybe if the deadline flag was more robust, people would react to it.

Thank you for leaving us a 5-star review, Angelic! It's wonderful to know your team is able to move faster, with better visibility and collaboration, because of Opal. I know I speak for everyone here when I say your kind words about our product and customer service are greatly appreciated. And I'll be certain to pass along your suggestion for due dates! Thanks for being a customer! Donna Schultz Sr. Director, Customer Success

The visuals & integrated content/copy layout are super user friendly & helpful.

Sometimes difficult to find content that needs approval in my dashboard.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, Madelaine! We're excited to see that you find the content and copy layout user-friendly and helpful. Our Customer Success team would love to help you discover the ways to find approvals faster in the dashboard. Feel free to schedule a time with your CSM or reach out to support@workwithopal.com. Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for being an Opal customer. Katie Pocklington, Director of Customer Success

I've been using the Opal platform for over 2 1/2 years and really appreciate the work the Opal team provides to keep the platform up to date and make changes when requests come through. The multiple views and spaces allows for my team to keep different brands separate when needed but have a holistic view of the content going out across channels. The ability to have approval paths ensures that the proper eyes are seeing out content and making sure everytihng is perfect before it gets published. Overall, myself and my team really enjoy the day to day functionality of Opal and how it fits into our workflows.

I would say that the mobile app could still use improvements. They made great strides over the last year but I'd love to see the ability to edit content on mobile. They also made UI updates in the past month and I will say I don't like the fact that I don't have a visible notification if there are approvals waiting - I like the new layout but would prefer if there was some notice to when approvals are waiting for someone.

Hi Cora, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with our product and our team. As the head of Customer Success, I'm thrilled to hear your appreciation for the changes we make based on your requests, as customer insights are crucial to our product roadmap. To that point, I'll be sure to pass along your comments on the mobile app. We'd love to help you determine the easiest way to see pending approvals using our simplified navigation. Please feel free to reach out to your CSM or Support whenever you have a few minutes to chat: support@workwithopal.com. Thank you again for your review of Opal!

Opal is the main reason my team is able to efficiently run over a dozen individual channels across a handful of different brands for our company. It is most helpful on the strategy front, where I'm able to plan content and add all the assets and details prior to publishing. It's practically a teammate of mine, I rely on it so much!

Due to its robust capabilities, there is so much great information in Opal. However, I wish the Presentations and Insights features were easier to use. I consistently encounter issues while using them which leads me to question their integrity. Though it's frustrating in the interim, I know the Opal team takes this feedback into account in order to improve the product longterm.

Lauren, thank you so much for leaving us 5 stars! First I want to thank you for the compliments to your Customer Success ManagerI've passed them along to her and up to leadership. And on behalf of the whole team here, it's so meaningful to read how Opal has revolutionized the way you work. Staying on top of outreach for multiple brands and channels is no small feat, and we love knowing our platform makes it easier for teams like yours! Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience. Erynn Baird Director of Customer Education
