Chose Piano Amplifier
I inherited SocialFlow at my new job. We used FocialFlow at my last employment but we moved to Buffer as it was more dynamic, cheaper, easy for larger teams to use, and had a better calendar function. The same can be said for Later, which is also superior to social flow in my …
Chose Piano Amplifier
We've also evaluated HootSuite and Sprout Social, and we used both in the past. SocialFlow is superior in its content system for creating, editing, and publishing posts. It's ideal for a team of our size. The cost is fair. It was overall the best option in all of the categories …
Chose Piano Amplifier
Hootsuite allows for timing and managing multiple accounts but it doesn't optimize -- simply 'timing' a tweet doesn't mean it's going at the right time. It's also kind of an awkward platform and I find the search tools confusing sometimes and clunky.

Buddy Media neither communicated as clearly nor offered answers with the clarity SocialFlow did

SocialFlow is good on paper but in my personal experience it is clunky, doesn’t do what you want it to, and their support team doesn’t take your issues seriously. I wouldn’t recommend this if you work on tight timeframes as it has a scattergun approach to posting on Facebook. I would like to think that my experiences are due to me not having thorough training, but I am not sure if this is the case.

Pros

  • Unique algorithm does not just 'time' posts, it helps determine the optimal time for posts to be distributed. Its why all the major publishers like NYT, WSJ, Conde Nast, Mashable, etc. use SocialFlow to distribute its social content.
  • Dashboard gives insight into which posts perform best.
  • It's streamlined and simple and not overly or unnecessarily feature-laden.

SocialFlow stacks up against others by : 1. Event registrations, participation and promotions, companies highlighting their sessions, speakers, and delegations of different countries drove the event-specific volumes 2. Using Twitter as the primary platform and mainly constituted mentions around registrations, participations, promotions of sessions/panels, and opinions on the same 3. Discussions around the event’s annual themes, the new ‘Davos Manifesto’ and posts expressing delight for being invited, participation confirmations, and comments on different sessions/panel promotions drove the positive coverage 4. During-Event and Post-Event periods saw companies shift their focus to highlight sessions and panel discussions aligned more toward business-driven themes
