Factiva vs. TapClicks

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).

When you have multiple platforms you are pulling data from, TapClicks is perfect for you. If you don't have many platforms, or you don't have many clients who need to see their data in real time it might not be needed.

• Putting broad swaths of news in one place
• Organizing information
• Constant updates

• Customizable dashboards: these are easy to set-up and manage and tell a powerful story. We appreciate that they can be exported.
• Import Wizard: it's very important that we are able to include custom data points in our reports through the Import Wizard. After a short learning curve, we are not importing data on a weekly basis for a comprehensive report that not only shows marketing trends, but the business results too.
• Groups and Clusters: The ability to manage client groups and clusters has been vital to how we report out to the client.

Incentivized

• Lengthy setup for searches
• Repeated articles appear frequently
• Unannounced interface changes were unpleasant surprises

Incentivized

• Missing some configuration of metrics, timelines, reporting.
• Bugs happen regularly, though this is offset by quick patches and lots of new features all the time.
• Ability to hide reporting sources and widgets when they don't have any data. This should be automatic.

TapClicks is a must have for our agency clients

TapClicks provides an array of on-demand training videos coupled with account management support to help your organization get up and running. That being said, TapClicks integrates with hundreds of marketing, advertising, CRM, and website analytics third-party platforms, so depending on how many integrations you want to activate, it can be a steep learning curve. Overall, we like the usability of the product.

Our organization experienced a very thorough onboarding process that helped us get up and running with TapClicks. It's pretty easy to integrate or "connect" with other platforms. We have developed a long-term relationship with our Account Manager at TapClicks and we really value her support. In today's world, most technology companies change your Account Manager seemingly almost every year, but that has not been the case with TapClicks.

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.

After thoroughly evaluating multiple reporting and analytics platforms on the market like AdStage, Funnel.io, and Domo, our team felt that TapClicks integrated with the most third-party marketing, advertising, and website analytics platforms while providing very customizable and visually pleasing reporting modules, graphs, and charts. We also were impressed by the TapClicks services offering. We are very pleased with our decision and have no plans to switch providers. By utilizing TapClicks, our agency has been able to close more business, provide better reporting, increase revenue, and scale.
