Considered Both Products
Adobe Social
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 …
Chose Adobe Social
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.
Chose Adobe Social
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.
Chose Adobe Social
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 …
Chose Adobe Social
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 …
Chose Adobe Social
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 …
Chose Adobe Social
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.
Chose Adobe Social
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.
Chose Adobe Social
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.
Chose Adobe Social
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.
Chose Adobe Social
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.
Sprinklr Social
Chose Sprinklr Social
Infinitely better and more resourceful
Chose Sprinklr Social
The social insights from Sprinklr is a powerful tool, gives us an edge when it comes to understanding what is being said about the products and services we offer.
It also helps us understand the various conferences we participate globally.
The marketing module helps us boost our …
Chose Sprinklr Social
Sprinklr Social has the most amount of features and is always updating
Chose Sprinklr Social
Sprinklr appears to be priced between the 2 however, this is no support (apart from logging support tickets/issues) so it's not like for like.
Chose Sprinklr Social
Sprinklr Social provides exceptional customer support services and comprehensive training sessions, enabling us as users to fully maximize the capabilities of its tools. Also, the way Sprinklr Social can be adapted according to each client makes it one of the best social media …
Chose Sprinklr Social
Khoros Marketing, Khoros Care, Hootsuite and Salesforce Marketing Cloud Social Studio
Chose Sprinklr Social
Hootsuite, is good and has good content management analytics in it. Sprinklr has better organization features and content review management flows.
Chose Sprinklr Social
Sprinklr met our needs as well as seemed to be a better fit with our directions for the year.
Chose Sprinklr Social
Sprinklr is a lot more compatible across multiple platforms and reporting is significantly more streamlined. This helps prevent agent overlap and the ability to add approved responses within the tool saves time and revenue. The ability to create listening queues is very helpful …
Chose Sprinklr Social
Sprinklr Modern Sales & Engagement stacks up [well] against its competitors because it has all the features and functionality [a] team could expect from this application. And not just that, it has been updating the application and deploying the latest features frequently that
Chose Sprinklr Social
I have used Spark Central in the past, but when compared with Sprinklr [Modern Sales & Engagement], it should be more developed and match the expectations of the end users of the tool. I have seen Sprinklr doing a great job when compared to Spark Central as soon as my …
Chose Sprinklr Social
I personally have not engaged with other companies like Sprinklr.
Chose Sprinklr Social
We like the interface and the options to add additional modules to Sprinklr. We are happy with the product and will continue to use it. Out of all the social CMS options out there, it truly is best in class. If budget allows one day, we would love to layer on Social Listening.
Chose Sprinklr Social
Sprinklr is a far superior tool that has more breadth and more tools under a unified platform. The listening, reporting, account management, advertising, content management was a lot more developed than the other companies we vetted. I spent weeks talking with various companies …
Chose Sprinklr Social
I am only working on the system, I don't control the contract, but Sprinklr is a very good system that does the job well.
Chose Sprinklr Social
At the time, Sprinklr was cutting edge, plus Sprout gets pretty pricey the more accounts you need to update and doubly so, the more people you need to give access to.
Chose Sprinklr Social
Sprout Social and Hootsuite are both MUCH more user-friendly. The Sprout reps have been amazing and help with everything!
Chose Sprinklr Social
Sprout Social, Radian6, Brandwatch and Germin8 Social Listening
Chose Sprinklr Social
As I mentioned earlier, I enjoyed SproutSocial best, however, you are forced to use the publishing module if you want the paid module. I don't think the modern engagement module is bad, but it is not user-friendly and makes it difficult to engage with users. Plus, you can't …
Chose Sprinklr Social
Sprinklr has all the features and more integrated into one platform and with API access to all platforms and superior data visualization. Sprinklr is the best tool for enterprise-level clients.

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Any large organization that is looking to have an effective social media presence and achieve outcomes through advertising would be benefited by using Sprinklr [Modern Sales & Engagement]. The system allows a streamlined way to see how your audience is responding to your posts and advertisements online. It would not be well suited for a company that is not engaged with a social media presence.

Cons
  • Editing a scheduled post is problematic in terms of content or just date/time
  • Reliability: I have experienced various glitches. Yesterday it would not let me attach a link to a post.
  • Ability to tag a Facebook page and other missing functionality.
  • Instagram.
Read full review
  • Overall, Sprinklr rewards users to do a lot of digging on their own to get to the more in-depth functionalities. For instance, the asset manager feature leads you to a dashboard with all the content you ever published but doesn't tell you what to do next or how to organize it
  • Sprinklr offers basic social listening features, but it is much more limited than other pure social listening players like Crimson Hexagon or Brandwatch. It is perfectly usable for a quick search but I wouldn't recommend it as your sole social listening platform

Likelihood to Renew
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

I really do feel that Sprinklr is the most complete enterprise social media program. It covers everything you would need to do to run a strategic social media program. On top of that, the success managers are really the best. Our success manager goes above and beyond for us and has been so helpful to us with setting up some very specific repots and profiles. Paul (our CSM) has been great about keeping us up to date on the latest features and functionality as well as helping us set up innovative dashboards as need

Usability
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.

The user interface, training via Sprinklr university and detailed articles on almost every topic in the knowledge portal make Sprinklr a complete package. This is also GDPR compliant, helping us stay good with the info security. The layout of the navigation is easy and anyone new to the tool won't be overwhelmed

Support Rating
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.

Sprinklr Modern Engagement is great for workflow and approvals, especially between teams or in-house/agency relationships. It is not well suited for smaller businesses or companies that have one account per platform. It seems like the functions would be too robust for a small business to handle. If there was an SMB version that would have got a 10 from me.

Implementation Rating
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

Sprinklr Modern Sales & Engagement stacks up [well] against its competitors because it has all the features and functionality

Return on Investment
  • 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.

  • Assisted with integrating global social media marketing departments together
  • Has resulted in some delayed customer support responses due to technical issues with Facebook integration
  • Lack of ability to message people on Instagram has led to poor community management on this platform.
