Chose Adobe Social
I don't really use many types of Adobe products however I used photoshop in the past and in terms of similarities they don't have much since it is for different purposes. The one thing they are great at is functionality. Many features and ways to finish the job effectively but …
I personally did not ever recommend the selection of Adobe Social as I did not feel it was suitable for our needs. Having now reviewed the products I've listed here, we have decided to switch over to Hootsuite Enterprise as that appears (on the surface) to be the best fit for us.
Hootsuite enterprise is superior in many ways, but the biggest factor is probably that it is constantly evolving and adding new features, working directly with social media companies ahead of new releases. Adobe seems to have stopped developing their product.
I use Social Studio currently at my job and I believe both are very similar products. Adobe Social has stronger analytics, including revenue and leads generated. Social Studio's layout is a little easier to navigate. Although it has its bugs too. Overall both platforms are …
Adobe Social is like the Cadillac of Social Listening tools. It provides everything from analytics, sentiment, custom reporting, campaign organization and geography of engagement. To be able to access social media accounts, publish content, create reports and track influencers …
I had previously been introduced to Hootsuite, which really is a much more introductory product cocmpared to Adobe Social. Before using Adobe Social, I really had only experienced Google Analytics for analytic purposes. Adobe Social was much more intuitive, user-friendly, and …
That version of Hootsuite you can't even edit posts on separate channels prior to scheduling or posting. Analytics isn't as easy to use. Overall, not a great product in comparison.
Our company selected Adobe Social for a way to have social posts be approved by managers and client before approval. It is very good in this arena. It terms of moderation, Hootsuite Pro is much more streamlined of a view and the analytics are more usable.
I didnt have the option to select it for this client. They came to us with this tool. I believe it's quality and has a lot to offer in terms of really driving Social ROI with an integration with bitly.
Originally started with Radian 6 for social listening, however, it requires way too much hands-on time for small teams. Again, a robust systems for large B2C and ecommerce sites.
Adobe Social provided better tools for a company as large as ours managing as many brands as we do. We used Buddy for over three years but they had issues handling our content on an enterprise level and all App design required CSS coding.

Chose Adobe Social
Adobe Social is a unified platform; Salesforce's Buddy Media & Radian6 is not. Adobe Social easily integrates with Adobe Analytics and the rest of their Marketing Cloud.
I think that Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud is unique, has all in one super easy to use and if you are on social media work is a tool that you need to use no only the big brands, Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud is for everyone who want grow up in this industry and doesn't exist …
Its so much better and more stable and easier to work with their team If you're on Agora you should switch, you wont regret it and you'll probably get a better price. I used to deal with Agora breaking in some odd way every week, and Emplifi Service Cloud hasn't broken in any …
Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud it's a more complete tool to manage social media content and data insights and analysis. As a global organization, we do not have so many issues with multiple users, permissions and we can have a big picture of all accounts - as well as their …
Brandwatch has a bigger scope on listening outside conversations on Twitter or other channels such as Influencers. Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud has that ability but works best in helping us manage our own scope (eg. fanpages and accounts) like comments form our fans and brand …
Kustomer is great for our Email and Chat tickets, but was less optimized for social media. It was less organized regarding incoming channel (including public comments with direct messages in the same ticket) which made it difficult to accurately reply to customers with the info …
We selected Live Advisor Go In Store because at that moment, it was complete and more useful. However now our brands are looking for something different, something that will help the Live Advisor to make things better and easier. We are looking for solutions more into 1 to 1 …
In relation to Talkwalker, Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud has a better performance when we talk about our own publications. On the "open sea", TalkWalker has excellent performance and coverage.
Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud is way more all-in-one, has more features and is very innovative compared to Sprout Social. There were a lot of bugs in Sprout, but they could include boosting posts (where it usually messed up, so in that way I understand Emplifi's decision not …
Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud had more options, but it was a long time ago and I wasn't in the finance/ops team who took the decision. Also, the advocacy models are costly, why we are not using them still. I also think that the social listening option/ tool was very relevant …
I feel that all three of these tools are great, and it may even come down to personal preference on minor things (such as the way certain information is presented or visualized) when determining which is best. For us, Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud's strong features come at a …
The reporting part is much more fancy and easy to use than BRANDWATCH! However, I use more the ENGAGE and PUBLISH functions of BRANDWATCH because I'm more efficient with it.
We have used Sprinklr to source UGC content as well, but found the platform to be much more time intensive when searching for the desired images. Additionally, Emplifi's UGC tool has incremental tools the other platforms do not provide, including the ability to share images on …
We are assessing new functionalities to bring retail attention to our website. Within the scope of this vision we found a product in Emplifi's portfolio that could help us on moving in the right direction. At the moment is on hold because it is not a priority in our strategic …
Emplifi seemed a better solution than the others that we trialled when looking for a solution. the reason we chose Emplifi (then Social Bakers) was its slick dashboards, and user-friendliness when it came to setting up dashboards and creating personalised tags on our content. …
For intricate, complex organizations who dynamically fuse social and digital - Adobe Social is great. A methodical approach to social and its integration to other aspects of the company is needed. Furthermore, there must be buy in for many departments and the aptitude in those departments to learn how to use the tool - and then actually do it. There are many hurdles for most companies. It is NOT a tool for fast-paced social brands who want to react and measure in real time.
- Very well suited to grabbing top-level and more in-depth social performance data, across campaigns and BAU activity. - Not as well suited for moments where you need benchmarking or context of your performance compared with a previous time frame. This can be a bit clunky to go back and forth with as it requires multiple dashboards or consistent manual time-frame changes.
Provide extensive Social Media listening so we can evaluate new ways we can enhance our card member experience and constantly evaluate the needs of our card members.
Provides detailed and in depth analytics so we can make smarter Social Media decisions.
Allows us to provide content across multiple Social Media platforms.
Would love more robust search parameters for labels. ex. search for tickets labeled 'Availability' AND 'United States' but excluding any that are only one of those labels
Ability to break conversations into multiple tickets; so labels can be more accurate if the same person reaches out again after 3 months with a totally different question
The social account quick view doesn't always load the follower count for people reaching out to us. it makes it slower to manager messages from high level creators
I wasn't in charge of making the actual management decision, but I would absolutely renew Adobe Social. As I mentioned, it provides strong and in-depth analytics and listening tools. The reports that it generates are very thorough and easy to read. I loved the platform and would recommend it to anyone
the balance between quality and price si perfectperfect for agency that have many client to manage, because it helps us to save time (we don't have to plan content from every single account, only one click to look at different community and moderate...)it also help the team works: senior can review content direcly from emplifi; labeling DM/comments as done help us to track where a collegue stop and we have to startIt makes the content approval from clients very easy
The reason why I give this rating is that the overall platform is simple to use. You don't need to be tech-savvy or have a vast understanding of how to work a marketing tool. It is very simple to use compared to different platforms and you learn a lot of different ways to build your business.
Since the main use of the Live Advisor is on the website that doesn't have e-commerce capabilities, it has been challenging to attach an specific metric to Emplifi's solutions and their usability in our websites. The Live Advisor is helping us to deliver our unique sale proposition in digital channels, which is great, but it is difficult to assign a higher mark in usability due to the limitation just explained.
The reason why I give this a 9 out of 10 in terms of support is because of the mobile app functionality. I have had many issues in terms of logging in and also loading pages. The app overall is easy to use but at what cost? Other than that it is great and I still enjoy Adobe Social.
Every time I've reached out to our account manager or even support in general, they've been there. I love the fact that I can always ask for help. Also, the chat function within the tool is helpful as well. It is something I always look for in a solution because when you're in the middle of working, and there is an issue, you can quickly reach out and get an answer.
Training was long and a little confusing. While a number of features carried over, they were still covered in this elongated training. It would have been nice to have training tailored to experience level with the product.
The implementation was done during our POC. We had a very mixed experience here, and have had some issues arise since based on the way the tool was implemented. An Adobe employee went ahead and made a change to our account that was unauthorized (helpful for our implementation) which caused issues in on boarding another team who needed the same change, but could not get it done without costly Adobe certification
I don't really use many types of Adobe products however I used photoshop in the past and in terms of similarities they don't have much since it is for different purposes. The one thing they are great at is functionality. Many features and ways to finish the job effectively but overall great!
Its so much better and more stable and easier to work with their team If you're on Agora you should switch, you wont regret it and you'll probably get a better price. I used to deal with Agora breaking in some odd way every week, and Emplifi Service Cloud hasn't broken in any way in the almost a year we've used it.
Although we chose Adobe Social believing it could provide ROI metrics we could not get elsewhere, that turned out not to be the case. Site Catalyst can give us everything we need without Adobe Social
Adobe Social did not create greater efficiencies and speed up our activity within social media. In fact, it has done the oppposite. It is very cumbersome with little clear benefit.
Volaris was able to improve their positive sentiment by 7% in their user-generated content (UGC).
The optimization of content management workflows led to them becoming the second-most-popular airline brand in Mexico and the USA in 2022 according to Emplifi.
By tracking our content performance with Emplifi, we were able to improve our creatives and increase the total shares by 15% vs. previous the year.
