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 not used any other platforms similar to Birdeye.

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.
ReviewTrackers
Chose ReviewTrackers
Although I only demoed BirdEye, ReviewTrackers was a better solution for our organization.
Chose ReviewTrackers
This is the only tracking service I have used other than relying on the emails from the review sites themselves.
Chose ReviewTrackers
New Brand was a LOT more expensive and really didn't provide much more than what Review Trackers does. They did, however, have a "heatmap" that highlighted popular words used in reviews. That was helpful to see a snapshot of what types of things people are reviewing on our …
Chose ReviewTrackers
I haven't used any other websites similar to review trackers. Once we started with Review Trackers, there was never any need to look into any other companies for this service.

We looked into using a website called Real Review Tracker that seemed to have a similar setup - but did …
Chose ReviewTrackers
We selected Review Trackers because it is easy to use and doesn't spam you with any emails you don't need. We always know what is going on with our clients!
Chose ReviewTrackers
We did some internet searches for a product like this and we found that review trackers had what we were looking for. I was able to call the day I decided to move forward with the product and arrange for a demo. I signed up the same day and am very satisfied with the outcome.
Chose ReviewTrackers
I prefer the design layout and overall functionality over Sprout Social.
Chose ReviewTrackers
We switched to Review Trackers because they simply were a better fit for our business needs and fit to our agency review platform versus creating a method we had to follow.
Chose ReviewTrackers
Haven't used any other products.

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

If you're on a tight budget, Review Trackers is a great choice. There are a lot of expensive solutions out there, but Review Trackers is very affordable, even for small businesses. Make sure that Review Trackers will pull reviews from sources specific to your industry. I'm in the automotive industry, so Review Trackers will pull reviews from Cars.com, Edmunds, and other auto specific review sites.

Pros
  • Their customer service is always very helpful and ready to give you the personal attention that you require.
  • They connect many different sources and funnel them straight to you so you can easily capitalize on multiple platforms and information streams.
  • They are constantly innovating and improving their systems with real-time feedback from their customers.

  • Ease of tracking - everything about a review is on a dashboard.
  • Easy to respond - at the click of a link, we can respond immediately.
  • Ease of Reporting - reviews are able to be filtered and reported.
  • Reliability - we are able to see reviews come in at a timely manner.
  • Informative - we can see where the reviews come from even when the same review is pasted on several directories.

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.

  • Implementation was a bit of a pain. I personally had to do a good bit of work to ensure that all web properties were being tracked for each entity.
  • Sentiment analysis is still in beta.
  • Menu navigation doesn't always make sense.

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.

No complaints. For a great price, we get exactly what we need out of it. Templates for review requests, as well as the ability to monitor the requests coming in and what our patients are saying about our services. It also gives the patients easy access to a direct link to review sites.

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!

It was super easy to access the dashboard and view everything that was going on. I also love the review request template ... it's great at the end of the week starting to see reviews come in.

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.
Read full review
They are always there when I need them, and there has never been an issue with the support team. They are prompt with their responses and always very polite and eager to help me out. I also frequently have them asking me if there is anything additional they can do, which I greatly appreciate

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.

New Brand was a LOT more expensive and really didn't provide much more than what Review Trackers does. They did, however, have a "heatmap" that highlighted popular words used in reviews. That was helpful to see a snapshot of what types of things people are reviewing on our restaurants. They lost their contract with Yelp towards the end, but didn't offer us any sort of discount for no longer pulling Yelp reviews for us. That was the last straw. We get a ton of Yelp reviews, so having to find those ourselves while still paying top dollar for the platform was ridiculous

Return on Investment
  • One stop shop for Reviews are great, it saves marketing department time and money on if they were all separate.
  • I'm not sure about the surveys yet due to integration.
  • Listings is very easy to use with updating this saved us money compared to competitors.
Read full review
  • ReviewTrackers has met each expectation we have set with ease. We've been able to maintain a more visible presence in the public review space, showing our past and potential guests we are engaged and take their feedback seriously.
  • We are able to set goals for our properties to try and receive a higher score year over year for specific platforms and this wouldn't be possible without ReviewTrackers ability to have the entirety of each property's historical data.
