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 Talkwalker by Hootsuite
Sprout social seemed like a really great tool, but a lot of the features on Talkwalker were more what we were looking for in terms of reporting and the deeper listening software available. Social listening seemed more new to Sprout Social so we wanted a product with more …
Chose Talkwalker by Hootsuite
Talkwalker only stacks up against these other paid products in one sense: It is the only free tool with any degree of functionality. If you need a more accurate and precise listening tool, Talkwalker isn't the best option. However, if you aren't ready to take on a monthly …

Chose Talkwalker by Hootsuite
For our needs, Talkwalker is the best 'all-rounder' in the market. Some of the other platforms focus more on certain media types (social in particular) or specific geographies (western markets or English speaking markets). Talkwalker covers all media and all markets very well. …

Talkwalker's ability to instantly search two years of past content (versus 30-60) days for most competitors is a convincing argument for clients such as PR agencies who often need to look back at 2 years of a prospect's coverage for a new business pitch

User Testimonials
ContifyTalkwalker by Hootsuite
Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Talkwalker is well suited for big companies and agencies that are looking for a long-term solution to keep track of the industry and/or their brands and key competitors. While setup requires a bit of dedication (especially in terms of custom filters and tags), once it's done, the tool will give the user a lot of flexibility to analyze the conversations and find the relevant results that answer the business questions. Companies just looking for a tool to track a short time period, or simple things like Twitter hashtags, won't take advantage of the full capabilities of this tool. Therefore, they could feel frustrated when comparing the outcomes/usage versus the costs.

  • A recent update has made adding filters to the dashboard far more convoluted than necessary.
  • Many metrics are displayed as "3.4M", it would be great if you could hover over that number to see the full "3,371,000".
  • The tagging feature is buggy and often needs to be done twice to tag the mentions applied in the rule.

Performance

Talkwalker gets the job done at a basic level. It performs regular indexing of existing webpages and tracks the instances in which a particular brand or company is mentioned. Especially for being free, this is an awesome resource. However, it should be said that this product does not perform nearly at the level of the paid options.

They are very helpful, but can sometimes be a little too quick and not explain things in as great a depth as we would like. They have great staff and programs, and we don't really have any other major complaints. Support is very responsive and helpful when need be.
