Hootsuite has gotten soooooo expensive in relation to the functionality it provides. The value is just not there compared to when prices were lower for SMBs.

After trying other social media scheduling tools, CoSchedule is my favorite. Like I said previously, it fills the gaps I've found in other tools. I feel more organized with CoSchedule and prefer their mobile app as well.

CoSchedule better supports the content creation and redistribution of content activities. The best thing was that you can get it all automated here, while other tools do not provide with support. I would say CoSchedule is one of the best tools for managing both content and …

Emplifi's support is responsive and quick to act on our requests, which puts them above competitors in my opinion.

In relation to Talkwalker, Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud has a better performance when we talk about our own publications. On the "open sea", TalkWalker has excellent performance and coverage.

Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud is way more all-in-one, has more features and is very innovative compared to Sprout Social. There were a lot of bugs in Sprout, but they could include boosting posts (where it usually messed up, so in that way I understand Emplifi's decision not …

Chose Emplifi
Emplifi Social Marketing Cloud had more options, but it was a long time ago and I wasn't in the finance/ops team who took the decision. Also, the advocacy models are costly, why we are not using them still. I also think that the social listening option/ tool was very relevant …

CoSchedule does more than just content planning, it helps you organize your content, betters your content with headline analyzers, and allows you to organize your work and marketing calendars as well. If your organization is in a spot where you need a well-rounded tool to help with content, marketing, or even task organization, CoSchedule might be the right fit.

- Very well suited to grabbing top-level and more in-depth social performance data, across campaigns and BAU activity. - Not as well suited for moments where you need benchmarking or context of your performance compared with a previous time frame. This can be a bit clunky to go back and forth with as it requires multiple dashboards or consistent manual time-frame changes.

Pros
  • Best time to post is great at updating to when we get the most engagement by platform
  • Requeue tool to slate out additional posts for a given piece of content is a huge time saver
  • Aggregate analytics tool shows us a peek across our posts on a given platform that's actually easier to read than the platform itself

  • Publishing - takes a bit of time, but publishing all content together makes planning and execution much more efective
  • Community - really simple one board collecting of all our social messages makes replying simple
  • dashboards - widgets and customisation allow for multiple dashboards tracking various campaigns and goals

Cons
  • The import Google Doc to WordPress functionality never worked successfully or reliably for me. So I just manually copy and paste Google Docs to the WordPress editor instead.
  • The social sharing counter was not that helpful, because it only counted Facebook and Google+. Who uses Google+ anymore? Plus, now they don't even show the social counter in the monthly calendar view. so you can't see the numbers without doing some extra digging.
  • In the monthly calendar view, some titles get cut off if they don't wrap cleanly in the day's box. So I would make it look cleaner instead of having words broken up by a hyphen.

  • Would love more robust search parameters for labels. ex. search for tickets labeled 'Availability' AND 'United States' but excluding any that are only one of those labels
  • Ability to break conversations into multiple tickets; so labels can be more accurate if the same person reaches out again after 3 months with a totally different question
  • The social account quick view doesn't always load the follower count for people reaching out to us. it makes it slower to manager messages from high level creators

the balance between quality and price si perfectperfect for agency that have many client to manage, because it helps us to save time (we don't have to plan content from every single account, only one click to look at different community and moderate...)it also help the team works: senior can review content direcly from emplifi; labeling DM/comments as done help us to track where a collegue stop and we have to startIt makes the content approval from clients very easy

Usability
The interface is very intuitive, from setting up social profiles, to posting, to tags, to optimizing for best day/time to post. It's super easy to scan the aggregate analytics. The calendar is very easy to grok at a glance, and the more advanced functionality is intuitive to set up.

Since the main use of the Live Advisor is on the website that doesn't have e-commerce capabilities, it has been challenging to attach an specific metric to Emplifi's solutions and their usability in our websites. The Live Advisor is helping us to deliver our unique sale proposition in digital channels, which is great, but it is difficult to assign a higher mark in usability due to the limitation just explained.

Support Rating
I didn't have to use their official support, but I can say that they put out a lot of content online to help users. Their YouTube page has quite an array of tutorial videos explaining how things work and how to get the most out of their tools. If you're struggling, before picking up a phone or blasting off an email, try searching for your problem on YouTube or their forums.

Every time I've reached out to our account manager or even support in general, they've been there. I love the fact that I can always ask for help. Also, the chat function within the tool is helpful as well. It is something I always look for in a solution because when you're in the middle of working, and there is an issue, you can quickly reach out and get an answer.

Alternatives Considered
CoSchedule is definitely a more powerful marketing tool than Loomly or Buffer, which are more dedicated to straight social media scheduling. I preview the calendar overview offered by CoSchedule, which makes it easy to see everything at a glance. PromoRepublic is similar but has the added Canva-type integration, which makes it more appealing to our clients who want to be able to easily put together their own images. CoSchedule is a bit pricy, which can be prohibitive for clients who don't pay in dollars.
