Brand24 vs. HeyOrca

Brand24 is perfect for a company that wants to build up its social media presence. It's great to know when our organization is mentioned online so I can engage with other companies. I like the mobile app but if there was a way to be notified via phone with it that would make it even better.

If you are looking for a great way to create, send for approval, and schedule/post social content, you won't find anything easier or more straightforward than HeyOrca. Especially great if you need multiple people to approve or have multiple social accounts to manage. HeyOrca also gives you a great overview of all social media and an idea of the strategy and how it all works together.

Incentivized

• Tracked negative sentiments
• Had a broad scope of social media tracking thru various popular apps and websites
• Allowed you set up instant triggers to find post that submitted very recently

Incentivized

• HeyOrca has outstanding customer service. Whenever I have a question or issue I contact the HeyOrca team and they respond within minutes. They go above and beyond to help you resolve any issues and communicate to make sure the issue is fixed and everything is ready to go. They also make sure to ask you if there is anything else you need.
• HeyOrca notifies you if any of your posts don't have a valid link or if the post needs to be edited. This is convenient because I can go in, know there is an issue, and then make changes accordingly.
• HeyOrca has an amazing user-friendly layout. My clients love it because it's easy to see and it allows them to comment on any post.

Incentivized

• Pretty weak on its algorithm to determine if a comment was positive, neutral, or negative
• Statistics weren't overly useful for us

Incentivized

• We had some issues with the timing of posts and posts not going out when they updated their platform recently.
• Missing out on posting directly to Instagram (we have to use another platform for this).
• Doesn't support Instagram stories, so we have to denote which ones are for Instagram stories and which ones are for Instagram newsfeed.

We decided today that we were renewing our use

Hey Orca has a lot of really great features, they make the workflow really easy and are extremely available for help with questions. I think there are some minor workflow issues that it could overcome and features it could add on that are available in other apps. It definitely doesn't offer the best analytics and also hasn't offered single image direct publishing like hootsuite does. Yet, it's benefits outweigh those minor inconveniences for our team

Incentivized

Support is really helpful and always giving their best to assist us.

I would start with Mention as opposed to beginning with Brand24. We originally used Mention but the price was increasing year-over-year so we wanted to try a cheaper alternative. We eventually did go back to Mention after Brand24, due to its ease of use and it was also easier to monitor our brand with Mention in the end.

Hootsuite is definitely a popular platform and we used to use it but felt as though it wasn't super client friendly. We had a lot of confused clients that found it harder to understand and monitor their social content. I think HeyOrca does a better job with the calendar layout and features.

Incentivized

• Positive: We can respond to customers in a reasonably realistic timeframe.
• Positive: We get updates from old content that has new activity.

Incentivized

• Sustains our clients due to its layout and user-friendliness
• Doesn't really allow for a lot of SEO work in the platform which doesn't help get clients
