Review: Capterra
Overall: The service was a lifesaver during covid. This meant we could better understand our environment and listed to public feedback promptly.
Pros: Flawless experience, great value. We currently use this to monitor brand mentions and respond promptly on the web. This is also a great tool for monitoring the general industry.
Cons: Awario does monitor pressreader.com for newspaper mentions, however it would be good if it could also monitor offline media clippings e.g. radio, tv.

Review: Capterra
Overall: Sprout Social saves so much time in regard to planning, organizing and reviewing everything-social-media. There is no other platform that offers this level of detail with social media accounts – whether it’s organizing content or diving into who your fans/followers/subscribers are.
Pros: Sprout Social is my favorite social media software because it goes in depth with analytics, you can customize your social posts, you can easily organize your campaigns, and it allows you to really dig into your audiences.
Cons: Like I mentioned, there is a lot of custom options within Sprout Social, therefore, it can be a little overwhelming to learn the software. There are many moving parts with the analytics dashboard, so having previous analytics experience is important.

What do you like best?
Agora has been a great application to work with when working to schedule posts across three different platforms (Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter). Preloading content for days or weeks to come and have Agora post them when scheduled is convenient and takes the hassle out of doing it myself for three different platforms. The preview feature helps see what the post will look like before it goes out, and the location feature takes one step out of tagging a location after the post goes out. Having all messages and comments come to one spot on Agora and responding directly from Agora is extremely helpful. It takes the work out of going across different platforms to message and respond to each individual person.
What do you dislike?
One downside of Agora is that you can’t schedule posts for Instagram with more than one photo. It only allows one photo to be added to the post, whereas for Facebook, you can schedule a post with multiple pictures. Another feature for Instagram that would be helpful would be to allow users to schedule stories in advance.

Review: Capterra
Overall: Crowd fire enables me to share my business news, posts and others in an easy and robust way. Content and user suggestions are a little off sometimes, but apart from that the app is a standard.
Pros: Easy to use, makes good recommendations, can link to most popular social media accounts. The abilities to track your followings/followers accurately and schedule postings are a must-have should you want to grow and manage your profile in the current rush of social media and IoT.
Cons: Price hikes, no discounts for loyalty members, sometimes can pull some spammy profiles. No auto response, sometimes suggests botted profiles.

Review: SoftwareAdvice
Manage multiple social media accounts at reasonable prize, but analysis is over expensive
Pros
The dashboard is great to monitor multiple accounts at once, you can view different hashtags, words, mentions, brands or whatever you want at once in a single tab. Very easy to use and learn just the basics. Integration to web browsers and multi browsers. Automated reports sent to email.
Cons
You need to pay to assemble the different charts, tables, graphs and parts of analysis by each report. Not affordable if you want more team members. Advanced features take a lot of effort to learn. Targeting while posting is limited.
6. Buffer
Buffer is an easy-to-use tool with a powerful single view dashboard. It has features like content scheduling, content recommendation, reporting, and analytics.
Features:
- Rss Feeds Connectivity
- Informative Social Analytics
- Multiple Posts And Tweets
- Social Profile Sharing
- Profile Management
- Multi-media Format Sharing
- Agency/business Planning
- Analytics And Insights
Review: Capterra
Overall: Overall satisfied – with some tweaks to the items I mentioned buffer could be even better.
Pros: allows you to schedule SM posts in advance, relatively easy to use once you get it set up and linked to all your sm pages
Cons: It loses links to my SM pages — this happens occasionally and then I have to reconnect. But honestly, this happened with hootsuite too and more frequently. Also, when posting for Pinterest, make sure you check which board — it defaults to the very first one you posted to unless you manually select another, and the button to do this is not easily found. I find this clunky.
7. Qzzr
Qzzr has proved to be very useful to marketers, publishers, and agencies. It can help you to increase social engagement, reach, and to generate leads. You can quickly create interesting interactive quizzes and post them anywhere on the web. Then you can track and analyze the results.
Review: Capterra
Pros: QZZR makes it easy (and I mean EASY) to build online quizzes quickly and beautifully. While the quality of the content is up to you, the quality of the quiz experience itself is just spectacular. QZZR prompts you for the questions, the answers, the info to display after the question is answered, post-quiz results, post-quiz CTA, etc. And it lets you easily preview what it will look like prior to publishing. QZZR lets you embed the quizzes on a landing page or as standalone content.
Cons: After each question, I would love the option to display different information depending on whether the answer was correct or incorrect. * I wish there was a way to customize the design of the quizzes a bit more — even though you can change colors, graphics and fonts, it’s still pretty obvious what platform the quiz was built on. * I would love for greater integration with a wider array of marketing software.
8. Wyng
Wyng is a potent campaign building tool. It has the right technology to power digital campaigns and promotions.
Their diverse range of templates can be customized for use. You can design creative landing pages instantly. Smart automated functions provide you real-time grasp on your content.
Review: Capterra
Overall: I use Wyng to run any contests my clients have because of the range of options available and how easy it is to collect customer information from the software.
Pros: I mostly use this software to run contests for clients. It’s a great way to make a unique and engaging contest that collects costumer information. I like how many different campaign types they offer. You can make a quiz, ask for UGC, boomerangs or even songs.
Cons: You have to pay a lot considering what you get. You cannot choose a plan to just have one small feature. It can be a little difficult to figure out and you have to pay extra attention to make sure all the features are set up right. There can be glitches so do a few tests.
9. SocialMention
SocialMention is a great social listening platform that can also help you boost your social media reach. It provides real time search on social mentions.
Anytime anyone mentions your brand on social media, you can track it. You can integrate it with blogs, Facebook, and Twitter. You can also use it to analyze your social media mentions and access alerts in real-time.

Review: G2
What do you like best?
It is quick and offers a great snap shot of the volume of your Tweets & Twitter presence. If you are looking for a magic bullet to show your client how much impact your campaign gained on Twitter…this tool is your savior.
What do you dislike?
Under the “Free” dashboard you are limited to only receiving weekly results. It would be nice to have the ability to set a date range to allow for a more broad volume of data.
10. TweetDeck
This platform enables Twitter users to manage and monitor an unlimited number of Twitter accounts from one single easy-to-use interface. It provides a customizable dashboard to send and receive tweets.
This works best for power users and those who want to stay on top of their Twitter lists easily.
Features:
- Social Media Monitoring
- Post Scheduling
- Multi-Account Management
- Collaboration Tools
- Automated Publishing
Review: Capterra
Overall: Very positive. Personally, I manage 4 social media accounts for various projects, and this is my favourite app to ensure I’m on top of consistently scheduling content.
Pros: I LOVE TweetDeck. I switched from the native Twitter app to this some years ago, and I haven’t looked back. With the exception of the occasional hitchiness when attempting to watch a video on the desktop application, this is the perfect app for managing multiple twitter accounts and scheduling your content. I use it for personal purposes to manage promo Tweets etc. and I haven’t even considered switching to something else.
Cons: There really isn’t much, but as I mentioned, there’s some occasional hitching when viewing images or video on the desktop app. Not a big issue at all though.
