Chose GaggleAMP
I have run some of the larger, massively scalable employee advocacy tools, which are not as easy to use, have less useful analytics, and are significantly more expensive.

Hootsuite does a good job of planning and scheduling for social media as well as a decent analytics program. However, their usefulness stops there. Hootsuite does not have an integrated feature to automatically pull posts from your website or blog and they do not have a social …
Chose GaggleAMP
A former colleague suggested EveryoneSocial, but I think that GaggleAMP has more industry experience in terms of employee advocacy and social engagement. While it did appear somewhat easier to use, it didn't have all the features and attention to detail that GaggleAMP provided …
Chose GaggleAMP
I wasn't involved in the original consideration of GaggleAMP several years ago, but I am happy with them and have no reason to consider switching vendors at this time.
Chose GaggleAMP
GaggleAMP is perfect for disseminating social media content across a wide range of employees and sectors. GaggleAMP is not meant for a social media management publishing tool. I prefer to have my social media content already created and published on the specific platform and …
Chose GaggleAMP
We looked at the product that LinkedIn offers but it was way more expensive and didn’t have near the features.
Chose GaggleAMP
I haven't used the alternatives to GaggleAMP, it's in a very new category. Alternatives include: Smarp, PostBeyond, and Socialhp.

Securly Filter integration with Google Workspace for education makes it an ideal pairing for K-12 institutions. It has a friendlier portal and more intuitive UI, particularly when retrieving activity logs. The policy customization is also far easier and responsive. That …
Chose Securly Filter
Securly has a huge advantage over network filters when dealing with the past year of at home learning and take home device programs. It works as well as other device based filters, and it's an exceptionally good deal if you were able to lock in reduced pricing from previous …
Chose Securly Filter
Securly [Filter] is designed with Education in mind and the other products I have used are not that way. I had to block porn and adult content on all other setups. Securly has those blocked from the start. Education web-sites are complex and and Securly handles that with ease!

GaggleAMP is well suited when you want to get timely local language content out to folks in other countries/regions, or content for a specific group/department. It is also well suited when you have multiple Gaggle content managers with multiple content calendars. It might be less appropriate if you want to hold multiple Social contests (gamification) with different rules, scopes, leaderboards, etc. for different groups/tags as there is only one leaderboard.

Securly Filter works great in schools with Managed devices, especially if you have a one to one take home program. If you don't have Managed devices, it's possible to work around or disable. If you're not in a school environment, it will still work, but it doesn't seem to be designed with work environments in mind.

Customer service has been good. It's easy to use. It's cost effective. It's a good way to expand your social presence and get your employees more vested in branding the company without spending a ton of money. There are bells and whistles that may be good for other users. I just haven't had the time to use them

Support Rating
Support for GaggleAMP is easily the best customer support I've experienced with any software tool. Our rep, Sam, is dedicated to our account (no bouncing around a call-center bullpen), and is highly proactive and eager to help us succeed. Most of our interactions have nothing to do with problems, but rather opportunities to optimize our use of the tool and set us up for greatest success. GaggleAMP sets a gold standard for customer support!

I don't like giving a 10 since everyone always has room for improvement, and while Securly is doing an awesome job, there is still room for improvement across the board.

Hootsuite does a good job of planning and scheduling for social media as well as a decent analytics program. However, their usefulness stops there. Hootsuite does not have an integrated feature to automatically pull posts from your website or blog and they do not have a social advocacy section either.

Securly Filter integration with Google Workspace for education makes it an ideal pairing for K-12 institutions. It has a friendlier portal and more intuitive UI, particularly when retrieving activity logs. The policy customization is also far easier and responsive. That being said, it does not provide a full-fledged firewall like Untangle NG (nor many of the other useful features from NG, such as simple-to-deploy VPN).
