Good social media tool

4.0 5 years ago

Comments: It is a tool used by our clients that we manage daily. It helps us organize content and receive approvals for publishing. It also tracks our campaign content.

Pros:

For content scheduling purposes, it is great. You can sync multiple accounts and publish content simultaneously if desired. You can also organize content with labels although there are some limitations.

Cons:

The analytics side of the product is not as strong as content and listening. There are other products that do a better job with features and dashboards.

Alternatives Considered:

Khoros is great for enterprise clients, but has some short comings.

4.0 3 years ago

Comments: Overall, Khoros is an okay tool. If you have large volumes of content and multiple accounts to manage, this tool can handle it. The customer service team is very. pleasant to work with. Just note that the monitoring streams are a bit challenging to filter. We also felt that the we did not use a majority of the features available as they did not fit our needs. Therefore it was difficult to justify the spend ($$$$).

Pros:

Monitoring & engagement. We have a high volume of comments that come in daily and needed a tool that can pull everything in successfully. It made it easier for the team to monitor and engage with the community. Customer Service - The team is very responsive. They will attempt to help as much as they can.

Cons:

Overwhelming - It can be overwhelming at times. There's isn't an easy way to understand where you left off when monitoring streams. Features - Some of the features did not fit our needs. Specifically, the analytics and content library. We found others tools are more accurate for our listening and reporting needs. The content library did not categorized, organized or filter our content the way we needed. Expensive - Very expensive compared to their competitors. Hard to justify costs when we aren't using a lot of the features available.

Ugh!

2.0 6 years ago

Pros:

Spredfast is very similar to Hootsuite in terms of a scheduler. But it also does social listening which is important for my industry.

Cons:

Schedule is slow and it's a little complicated. Customer service is very responsive, but sometimes it feels like they're answering you just for the sake of answering. Overall, not a fan. And there's a lot of ways your analytics can be skewed. Annoying to say the very least.

It is a bit difficult to program multiple resending since the window is very small, but that would be my complaint, for everything else .. this tool is very good, I am very satisfied

Great growing software

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: Spredfast makes publishing, sorting, and tracking your social media activity so much easier than it would be otherwise. And because it's growing so quickly, we've seen major improvements and feature adds just in the last couple years.

Pros:

I've only been using Spredfast for about 2 years, but the program has grown and changed in so many positive ways in that amount of time. It's easy to use, with options to add on various features based on your needs, meaning this could be the most basic or the most robust social media automation tool out there. Support is also quick to respond and the library of help articles is extensive.

Cons:

Like many competitor programs, Spredfast is expensive. It's not the tool for everyone, but is amazing for growing medium-large companies who need to streamline their social media process.

Relatively hard to use especially on the reporting side, it is not very flexible in customizing reports .

Powerful platform for managing social

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

I love that Spredfast makes it easy to schedule social posts far in advance, and you can do so for multiple accounts. I worked for a company that has 700+ separate social media accounts for each location, and we were able to manage them all via Spredfast.

Cons:

Can get a little tricky managing hundreds of accounts, especially in a customer service capacity. We noticed that we weren't seeing all of the comments or direct messages coming in from all accounts, so many questions from our customers got overlooked.

Spredfast breadth of capabilities is incredible

5.0 7 years ago

Pros:

This is quite possibly the best tool a company can use that gets 100s of social messages a minute...

Cons:

There's a lot to learn, not difficult, but a lot to learn when it comes to mastering the tool.......

mostly positive with a couple painpoints

4.0 7 years ago

Comments: far reach with minimal effort

Pros:

I love the functionality of the calendar in that it syncs with posts that are posted from elsewhere

Cons:

its a little hard to schedule out multiple reposts since the window is so small - i wish that if you wanted to post multiple reposts you could do it in one fell swoop

Spredfast is a good platform for gaining insight into social media trends

5.0 8 years ago

Comments: My company leverages Spredfast to gain a better understanding of what the key trends and keywords are in our industry. We use many of the platform's features, including the share-of-voice feature, which allows us to benchmark our company's performance against our competition.

Spredfast Review

4.0 8 years ago

Comments: Spredfast had a lot of cool features but for a long time I experienced an issue where there was bad lag while typing and creating posts. Also ran into workflow/authentication issues between Spredfast and Facebook. Overall though, a great platform.
