Chose Opal
I've used Percolate and it's said to be a competitor of Opal, but in reality, it's a tool I've struggled with. It's fine for day-to-day scheduling and publishing, but lacks the flexibility and functionality of Opal. Opal really feels like it was built by storytellers where …
Chose Opal
I have used Kapost, which has a better editorial calendar sharing functionality for non users, but which is not as good for social, content planning or publishing.
Chose Opal
Opal is the most streamlined and visual of the options I've seen. In a high-speed industry where collaboration platforms MUST work quickly and be highly visual, the platform's attention to UX is a game-changer.

Chose Sprinklr Social
Sprinklr appears to be priced between the 2 however, this is no support (apart from logging support tickets/issues) so it's not like for like.
Chose Sprinklr Social
Sprinklr Social provides exceptional customer support services and comprehensive training sessions, enabling us as users to fully maximize the capabilities of its tools. Also, the way Sprinklr Social can be adapted according to each client makes it one of the best social media …

Hootsuite, is good and has good content management analytics in it. Sprinklr has better organization features and content review management flows.
Chose Sprinklr Social
Sprinklr met our needs as well as seemed to be a better fit with our directions for the year.

Sprinklr is a lot more compatible across multiple platforms and reporting is significantly more streamlined. This helps prevent agent overlap and the ability to add approved responses within the tool saves time and revenue. The ability to create listening queues is very helpful …
Chose Sprinklr Social
Sprinklr Modern Sales & Engagement stacks up [well] against its competitors because it has all the features and functionality [a] team could expect from this application. And not just that, it has been updating the application and deploying the latest features frequently that
Chose Sprinklr Social
I have used Spark Central in the past, but when compared with Sprinklr [Modern Sales & Engagement], it should be more developed and match the expectations of the end users of the tool. I have seen Sprinklr doing a great job when compared to Spark Central as soon as my …
Chose Sprinklr Social
I personally have not engaged with other companies like Sprinklr.
Chose Sprinklr Social
We like the interface and the options to add additional modules to Sprinklr. We are happy with the product and will continue to use it. Out of all the social CMS options out there, it truly is best in class. If budget allows one day, we would love to layer on Social Listening.
Chose Sprinklr Social
Sprinklr is a far superior tool that has more breadth and more tools under a unified platform. The listening, reporting, account management, advertising, content management was a lot more developed than the other companies we vetted. I spent weeks talking with various companies …
Chose Sprinklr Social
I am only working on the system, I don't control the contract, but Sprinklr is a very good system that does the job well.
Chose Sprinklr Social
At the time, Sprinklr was cutting edge, plus Sprout gets pretty pricey the more accounts you need to update and doubly so, the more people you need to give access to.
Chose Sprinklr Social
Sprout Social and Hootsuite are both MUCH more user-friendly. The Sprout reps have been amazing and help with everything!
Chose Sprinklr Social

Chose Sprinklr Social
As I mentioned earlier, I enjoyed SproutSocial best, however, you are forced to use the publishing module if you want the paid module. I don't think the modern engagement module is bad, but it is not user-friendly and makes it difficult to engage with users. Plus, you can't …

If a team can afford to pay for Opal and dedicate resources to properly onboard everyone and maintain organization, I'd absolutely highly recommend it.

Any large organization that is looking to have an effective social media presence and achieve outcomes through advertising would be benefited by using Sprinklr [Modern Sales & Engagement]. The system allows a streamlined way to see how your audience is responding to your posts and advertisements online. It would not be well suited for a company that is not engaged with a social media presence.

Cons
  • I would love it if Opal integrated social publishing into their tool.
  • It would be beneficial if at least some basic analytics were brought back into the tool so we could then review content performance within the same tool as creative teams.
  • I've felt like at times the process of creating and sharing presentations was a bit tedious. It'd be nice if was a bit simpler.
Read full review
  • Overall, Sprinklr rewards users to do a lot of digging on their own to get to the more in-depth functionalities. For instance, the asset manager feature leads you to a dashboard with all the content you ever published but doesn't tell you what to do next or how to organize it
  • Sprinklr offers basic social listening features, but it is much more limited than other pure social listening players like Crimson Hexagon or Brandwatch. It is perfectly usable for a quick search but I wouldn't recommend it as your sole social listening platform

I really do feel that Sprinklr is the most complete enterprise social media program. It covers everything you would need to do to run a strategic social media program. On top of that, the success managers are really the best. Our success manager goes above and beyond for us and has been so helpful to us with setting up some very specific repots and profiles. Paul (our CSM) has been great about keeping us up to date on the latest features and functionality as well as helping us set up innovative dashboards as need

The user interface, training via Sprinklr university and detailed articles on almost every topic in the knowledge portal make Sprinklr a complete package.

Sprinklr Modern Engagement is great for workflow and approvals, especially between teams or in-house/agency relationships. It is not well suited for smaller businesses or companies that have one account per platform. It seems like the functions would be too robust for a small business to handle. If there was an SMB version that would have got a 10 from me.

I've used Percolate and it's said to be a competitor of Opal, but in reality, it's a tool I've struggled with. It's fine for day-to-day scheduling and publishing, but lacks the flexibility and functionality of Opal. Opal really feels like it was built by storytellers where Percolate feels like it was built purely by an engineering team.
