Considered Both Products
Birdeye
Chose Birdeye
In my opinion, Birdeye cannot be compared to Repugen as their system is their own built from the ground up. Birdeye uses 3rd party tools to put out sub-par products.
Chose Birdeye
In my opinion, you can do everything Birdeye does in high-level and zapier for 1/10th the cost and much more customizations.
Chose Birdeye
It has been some them since I have used either one of those platforms but at the time Birdeye had plenty more features than the others. They were also the first one I found that had automatic review responding.
Chose Birdeye
I have not used another site that is better than Birdeye. None of the other sites I have tried, allow us to utilize 2 different means of contact. It is very simple to use and customer service gets issues resolved in a timely manner. An all-around great product. I would highly …

Chose Birdeye
I have never used anything like Birdeye.
Chose Birdeye
It's way more modern and offers more options than Review Wave. It's much more user friendly.
Chose Birdeye
All of these are very similar from a tech stack and API integration standpoint. The dashboard with Birdeye is by far the most transparent, and easy to navigate. There are not a lot of upsells baked into it either. The customer service is also very responsive when we hit a …
Chose Birdeye
Did not other products beside Birdeye. This was recommended to us by a friend of our CEO.
Chose Birdeye
I feel like the social tool is way better than anything that Hootsuite can offer. Very user-friendly. Customizable to each clinic. Listen tool where you can do some social searches on things going on in your industry.
Chose Birdeye
We have a lot of reviews for our business from Trustpilot. They are also a great company to work with. What we appreciate about Birdeye over Trustpilot is Birdeye pushes our reviews out to Google and not just on their own site.
Chose Birdeye
Used Clio Grow and Lexicata before. Birdeye is much more user friendly but lacks all of the substantive features.
Chose Birdeye
We have not used any other products similar to Birdeye.
Chose Birdeye
Podium also has issues with account management and customer service. They are comparable but Birdeye has a better review request interface and reporting than Birdeye.
Chose Birdeye
Birdeye was more adaptable to the franchise structure. We liked the look and feel of Birdeye review-gathering emails. Listen360 had features that were innovative, but not quite right for us. We also found their emails less user-friendly.
Chose Birdeye
Our choice of reputation management platform came down to two contenders, Birdeye and Listen360. Ultimately we chose Birdeye because of their ethical review gathering process. Listen360 had review-gating built in as part of their process, which is against Google's terms of …
Chose Birdeye
We have never used any other platform like Birdeye.
Chose Birdeye
I have not used any other software prior to Birdeye. I was always managing manually in google sheets.
Contify
Chose Contify
Contify allows customization and helps me develop my own watchlist where I can just add a bunch of companies to different lists and it'll start tracking them for me, it will also allow me to structure the dashboard as per my business hierarchy whereas, Crayon is focused more …
Chose Contify
Contify has provided my organization with powerful features increasing market intelligence by offering email alerts, user management, taxonomy generator, and custom feeds that help us make informed decisions. It increases the capacity for in-depth investigation starting from …
Chose Contify
Prior to Contify, we didn't have the insight that we do. With a lack of time, we were unable to collect the competitor data and updates as doing it in-house is a nightmare. If you were to manually track all information, updates, social media, etc., so much of your time would be …
Chose Contify
Contify has the most helpful feature. It enables me to search for competitors on various websites and social media. Almost all of the information we need is readily available to us. We get actionable intelligence

For businesses that have customers or clients or patients with several different locations, Birdeye is essential to help with the reviews and messages received through Google and other platforms. For businesses with only 1 single location, Birdeye could still be useful but wouldn't be as essential as it would be for other businesses.

In terms of features, Contify is the best. It is used to
locate competitors across a variety of web properties and social media
platforms. It uses AI to track information on customers, competitors, and other
industry segments. Another benefit I've found is their analyst team's
willingness and ability to develop specific taxonomies for my industry. It
enables us to collect and share data across the company. I believe that
automatic tagging is still a viable option for learning and can be made even
more effective.

Cons
  • The sentiment feature is just okay. It requires custom adjustments and time to understand where it is working well and where it is not in order to get the most out of it, while other features require very little user input.
  • Social listening needs work. I often receive notifications for unrelated terms because of their similarity in spelling to my organization's name, so I don't use this feature.
  • Birdeye could have more built-in features to create digital content from the reviews.
  • Birdeye could also have additional reputation tools to strengthen GMB listings and to combat negative press. Review listings and rich snippets in search are great, but having a tool that measures and helps to improve overall brand health/search results would be amazing. My CEO isn’t looking at what is going right. He looks at what is going wrong. We may have thousands of positive reviews on Google, but the bad article with false information is still showing up on page one of search results. That makes for an unhappy CEO.

I think it is a good tool overall, there are some hiccups but what program doesn't have them. I think we should be notified of more things, specifically broken integrations. There have been instances where I don't notice for MONTHS a client it's having requests sent out because they are organically still getting reviews.

Usability
The easiest program I've ever used in the medical field. Just one click to send a review and easy data entry to add customer into the system. The Birdeye program is actually fun to use and no prior skill is necessary!

Support Rating
The customer support is usually very fast in getting someone connected with you to figure out a solution. Sometimes the communication following up on how they did can be a little much, but they are just practicing what they preach and doing what they know best. People are usually very friendly and knowledgable also.

Our choice of reputation management platform came down to two contenders, Birdeye and Listen360. Ultimately we chose Birdeye because of their ethical review gathering process. Listen360 had review-gating built in as part of their process, which is against Google's terms of service. We wanted to be very careful to gather reviews in an ethical way, and Birdeye was better for our needs.
