Considered Both Products
Audiense
Chose Audiense
I have used a few audience insight tools but I find Audiense has a large mix of data within one platform. For instance, IBM Watson, Demos, Social Listening, Hashtags. It is great to have a lot of insights about an audience in one place to have a holistic understanding.
Chose Audiense
I am not aware of any other tool that allows me to study as well subscriber bases.
Chose Audiense
I use Audiense alongside Pulsar because the integration allows me full control over my data and analysis. The majority of the other platforms don't allow you to create your own audiences or clean your data yourself, but with Audiense I am able to do so.
Chose Audiense
We find both platforms useful, but Audiense has a more user-friendly interface.
Chose Audiense
Every time I have tried to find a swiss army knife kind of solution that does a number of things, I discover that they do many things fine but not the things I need to be done well. That is why I have been with Audiense for over a decade. They have not tried to be all things to …
Chose Audiense
Audiense is more of a data intelligence platform that helps you execute campaigns successfully whereas the other platforms mentioned have very little intelligence built into them.
Chose Audiense
Affinio was slightly more polished, and the automated segment naming was stronger; however, the platform suffered from a lack of development, struggled to see beyond the immediate Twitter data source, and at the time of contract renewal was not a particularly strong offering …
Chose Audiense
In addition to the accurate and vast information we gather with Audiense, I would like to highlight the service we always receive from them.
Chose Audiense
Not exactly the same product but similar in a social media aspect-- Hootsuite is more about scheduling and organizing your contact while Audiense is more about insights. Together they work great.
Chose Audiense
Hootsuite Follower Wonk Got these 2 products and Audiense to get social media going.

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.

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 …

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 …

User Testimonials
AudienseSprinklr Social
Likelihood to Recommend
When you start a strategy and want to discover how the audiense is composed, this is the first step to start exploring and then create your buyer personas with more details from other auxiliary tools (social listening, market research). Audiense is the best way to start exploring. It works better when you are dealing with big social media accounts when you want to explore audiences from a specific country or very specific interests. It’s good to import information from listening tools like Brandwatch to get better results about your audience.

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.

Pros
  • Audiense is the best tool I have found for tie your tweets to changes in your followers. In essence, I can see when tweets are gaining or losing followers for my account.
  • Audiense also has great analytical tools like best time to tweet reports
  • Audiense also provide a very complete look at each person you follow or is following you. It helps to understand who the people are.

Cons
  • To include more social networks that could help Twitter data.
  • An easy way tool from start to segment audiences that share similar characteristics to get a deep-dive.
  • Easy to use export reports or an API integration for a Data visualization tool.
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

I have been using it for a few years now and I still think it's a pretty competitive tool, although a lot of new interesting tools are coming on the market and I am always on the lookout for new solutions. If it keeps innovating, however, Audiense could stay relevant for some time to come

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

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.
