Considered Both Products
Kapost
Chose Kapost
None - I did not look at other competitors or evaluated them. I did hear word of mouth that Wrike is a main competitor and offers a very good product that rivals Kapost reputation and features.
Chose Kapost
Workfront has a lot of great features, but Kapost was the right tool for what we needed at the time. With a team of our size, we had to make sure we weren't biting off more than we could chew and the project never got off the ground. We had to be thoughtful with how we rolled …
Chose Kapost
I've used basic tools like SharePoint in the past as a content repository, but it's not user friendly, not well organized, hard to manage and not well-suited for marketing content (version control issues, etc. ). Get a dedicated tool!
Chose Kapost
ISI listing from Thomson Reuters returns bigger and more narrowed lists. If you need a narrowed list go with them. If you want a large party internal [tool] deploy Kapost, it works just fine. I also have found that the design team behind Aprimo has a bigger design background …
Chose Kapost
Kapost solves many project management aspects of creating marketing content. The automated workflows allow for faster setup of common assets and automatically remind team mates of deadlines and upcoming requests. It streamlines content creation. Hootsuite Enterprise was made …
Chose Kapost
To be honest, I've only joined the team here at SolidFire this quarter (it's my understanding that before Kapost, there was no content management system, though). But in the past, I've used WordPress way more extensively than we do here -- effectively as the in-house CMS. …
Chose Kapost
Kapost is really designed for content production and management, not more broadly for project management like Basecamp and JIRA. It's a very hybrid product that straddles tools: CMS, automated workflow management, DAM (less so, but sort of), and has unique features that make it …

Chose PromoRepublic
I don't think there is a huge difference between the both, PromoRepublic and NapoleanCat. PromoRepublic takes that edge by having more social media networks, where NapoleanCat has only a few social media networks.
Chose PromoRepublic
Radaars basic functionality does the same thing but it’s more robust than PromoRepublic because it has such features as ability to manage chats across several platforms. Further, Radaar offers the ability to post directly to Tik Tok which PromoRepublic does not do. And given …
Chose PromoRepublic
We primarily use Promo Republic for clients who have smaller budgets as the cost for PromoRepublic is less than some of the competing platforms.

PromoRepublic does make it easier to track separate locations/pages that may fall under one company. This can be great for an …
Chose PromoRepublic
I enjoy PromoRepublic and would probably choose it over any of the other scheduling tools I've tried, because of the quick support, ease of use, and other benefits I've spoken about in this review. It definitely makes working with freelancers easier, as creating notes for them, …
Chose PromoRepublic
PromoRepublic is more built for agencies and was also more affordable than Hootsuite and Buffer. Price was a factor in my search, but usability was just as important. PromoRepublic created ease by separating each of my clients' accounts. Can save posts so I could reuse at …
Chose PromoRepublic
Ultimately I selected PR because I was able to get it for a one-time cost rather than a subscription, but now that I'm used to it I couldn't imagine life without it. I've only used the free versions of the other platforms, so my experience with PR is obviously superior. …
Chose PromoRepublic
The post ideas and creator definitely make PromoRepublic more of a one-stop shop. I can create, post, and study analytics all in one spot.
Chose PromoRepublic
Hootsuite is what my office primarily uses and it's good. I just prefer the way you can see all the posts in the calendar dashboard on PromoRepublic and I like that it has fresh curated content for me to peruse.

User Testimonials

I think the filters within the custom fields and custom details is its strongest feature for us. So I would say, the more content you have, the more use you'll get out of Kapost, especially if you need to organize your content in a lot of different ways (as we do for our targeted marketing). We still format edit/publish blogs via WordPress (although we put the draft in Kapost), but blogs aren't necessarily our #1 thing. Perhaps, for people who are really blog-centric, another platform may be better. Kapost is really good, I think, for copy that has a lot of hands on it, and can really benefit from well-structured work flows and a really comprehensive metadata system.

PromoRepublic is excellent for collaboration, such as working with freelancers, or clients who want to leave notes and be responsible for final approval. It's also good for brands who need ideas about what to post on a daily basis, as their idea library is quite extensive. The image creation tool is also good for beginners, with plenty of templates, though it isn't as extensive as Canva. It's definitely a solid option for social media management. Can't think of a situation where it wouldn't be appropriate.

Pros
  • Sets you up with a strategist. You are able to be in constant communication through Kapost with your strategist and send one another working proofs and comments.
  • Unity - it has made all our email campaigns have a similar look and feel. Kapost has shown results on the appropriate amount of images to use and the type of language that works.
  • Stay on track - each person is notified when the role before theirs is complete so they know when it is their turn to act upon something.

  • Generates post ideas and curated content. If I'm out of ideas on content for the week/month I can usually peruse their prepared content to generate ideas.
  • Timed posting based on our current engagement rates. Helps me to decide the ideal times to post to ensure the greatest amount of engagement.
  • Easy post editor. Has a plethora of images and fonts I can use to make an eye-catching copy for our social media.

Cons
  • Search is valuable but the key words seem to take a while for the system to find, I have to use multiple word choices or switch to a specific collection.
  • I think some type of links from search could be useful.
  • Layout isn't the prettiest.

  • I'd like to be able to drag and drop posts to different dates and times from the calendar view.
  • I'd like to be able to duplicate an entire post from the calendar view and drag it to another date and time.

We are using some other systems that might have replaced Kapost, but none of them had the workflow functionality we were looking for. So, we're sticking with Kapost for now.

Usability
The calendar view is a great feature and so are the custom views. It is relatively easy to see a clear view of what content the user is responsible for and then the due dates associated to it. The ability to create and update workflows for the team is easy to navigate and keeps us on track.

The user interface is very straight forward and easy to use. They also make it incredibly simple edit premade post ideas as well as create your own. You can connect all of the basic social media platforms which makes it great for individuals looking to streamline their scheduling process to get more content out

The reputation of the product matches up to its reputation as one of the leaders in the space. I love that you can share and access content at your fingertips from anywhere. The downside is that it does not have the prettiest interface but you can get over this with its functionality.

Return on Investment
  • Kapost streamlined a lot of different processes across marketing.
  • We hope that people are finding assets they need rather than requesting new ones get created.
  • Having a central location for assets has helped to prevent outdated documents from appearing in different locations.
