Chose Factiva
Each of the tools I have described share the same kind of premise: the main thing they do is source and collect media content. Then to varying degrees they run filters against this content and produce a range of data visualisations and ways of slicing the data and content. …
Chose Factiva
I have used Lexis Nexus and Thomson One. I find Factiva to be the most user friendly of these services. I much prefer Factiva's layout on their website when I search for articles and I also prefer its search builder over Lexis Nexus and Thomson One.
Chose Factiva
I often used Twitter as an alternative to Factiva. Additionally, I used a number of link-gathering resources such as Google alerts.
Chose Factiva
At the time, Factiva was already being used by the company I worked for - they had developed procedures specifically for using Factiva, so there wasn't really an option. I've used Lexis, Westlaw and Bloomberg exclusively for legal research, so there wasn't really an overlap …

Chose Sprinklr Insights
They are not included in all the things. It is integrated with different AI technologies. I like working with the Sprinklr team and building my own dashboards for new initiatives. The insights presented about the market are unmatched. See what people say about my brand or …
Chose Sprinklr Insights
I think the Sprinklr user interface is simpler than Brandwatch. The knowledge portal helps immensely to find out solutions. I really like the fact that there are many options available on Sprinklr to play around with and experiment with. Such a trial and error approach provides …

Sprinklr is the best tool to analyse and understand the progress of your business

Talkwalker is a similar platform, which we use predominantly for social media listening. Where Talkwalker excels is through its image recognition, where its robust AI model has been finely tuned to capture uses of our brand in the real-world, going beyond purely text mentions. …

The ability to create, visualise, and analyse the effects of digital advertising and social media marketing initiatives has been a highlight for me. Customer service was a breeze to work with, and it helped me to be more productive. It maintains note of every interaction. It …
Chose Sprinklr Insights
We previously used Khoros Lithium and had way less reporting opportunities and a less advanced language recognition feature. User settings and routing has been more difficult to build and it was less user-friendly. In regards to reporting, Sprinklr provides way more options …

We selected all 3: Modern Advertising, Modern Engagement and Modern Research as all these combined answer our needs best
Chose Sprinklr Insights
Sprinklr provides more features and capabilities than 95% of these other products. For an enterprise, Sprinklr gives the ability to continue to grow without sacrificing much in terms of functionality. We only use a fraction of the Sprinklr platform, but that piece is better and …
Chose Sprinklr Insights
Sprinklr is the best platform I've used. It's the most reliable, and presents endless insights that help towards our company success & understanding. The other platforms are not as advanced & do not provide us with all the tools, information & numbers needed.
Chose Sprinklr Insights
Sprout Social is on its way to being a competitor, but Sprinklr reports are just so much easier to customize, which is imperative for our reports -- especially when it comes to Sentiment and overall accuracy of the volumes we take in. SS's UI is great for accessibility, but …

Haven't used other tools, have started with Sprinklr Research
Chose Sprinklr Insights
While I wasn't involved in the selection process, I believe the main reason Sprinklr Modern Research was chosen as our social listening platform was that we were already using Sprinklr as our social scheduling tool. This way, we would have all of our social tools under one …
Chose Sprinklr Insights
Gives our teams a quick and easy way to analyze AI-enriched historical data and key insights across social and digital sources. Works best in collecting data across multiple digital channels and leverages it to drive creativity, efficiency, growth and competitive advantages.
Chose Sprinklr Insights
Very similar offerings, the decision was largely made on price and perceived levels of customer service on top, together with some testing of the UX.
Chose Sprinklr Insights
I was not directly involved in the process of reviewing system options, but have found that Sprinklr meets the needs of our different departments that use it and makes it easy for all to collect, interpret, and share data within one system, even though they have different areas …

Factiva is particularly useful when I work on securities litigations involving shareholder lawsuits -- i.e. shareholders who bought and sold shares during a specified class period when the company was misrepresenting, for example, its financials. Specifically Factiva is quite useful in helping me understand what company events were known by the market and when they were known. Factiva has also been useful in helping me on various research studies. It is less relevant for other types of litigation that I work on (i.e. Patent litigation, etc).

For an event, when you need to check whether it was well-received or not; you can also check some demographic stats that are very interesting. You are also able to make quick reporting out of it and share it easily with your stakeholders. Very helpful in this situation.

  • More sources! I'm waiting to be able to listen to Tiktok specifically
  • Needs the ability to listen to responses around a particular post via url
  • Listening tends to go down a lot; not so much that it's impossible to work but it always tends to happen when I need a deadline turned around quick

Sprinklr offers an extremely intuitive platform, which supports the creation of dashboards with an array of your own chosen widgets. This means you can have an extremely simple or complex dashboard, depending on your audience.

It is easy to submit a ticket when technical support is needed, and we have a wonderful rep who is very helpful with keeping in touch with us regularly, but the in-app "support" features could use some improvement. Sprinklr Reporting/Analytics is not overly intuitive. It could benefit from some additional user support guides, walk-throughs, or even just updating the "Glossary" so that more of the items in it actually have a listed definition.

Alternatives Considered
Each of the tools I have described share the same kind of premise: the main thing they do is source and collect media content. Then to varying degrees they run filters against this content and produce a range of data visualisations and ways of slicing the data and content. Factiva's strength lies more in the sourcing of content than in the manipulation of the results (much like the others do with more sophisticated dashboards and visual interpretations). We chose it because of the integrity of its sourcing breadth. It doesn't matter so much about the display of results because the source material you're working with isn't as dynamic as say social media.

Talkwalker is a similar platform, which we use predominantly for social media listening. Where Talkwalker excels is through its image recognition, where its robust AI model has been finely tuned to capture uses of our brand in the real-world, going beyond purely text mentions. Aside from this, the UI of Sprinklr, and the ability to sit alongside all other aspects of the platform which we use on a daily basis, makes it an easy-to-use feature for platform users.

  • Negative impact: due to many issues with social media accounts being disconnected we've been losing a lot of time trying to fix that with the support team. The issue persists despite our efforts and every week there are several SM accounts that are being disconnected from Sprinklr
  • Positive impact: improved analytical insight
