Considered Both Products
Parse.ly
Chose Parse.ly
Parse.ly provides clearer insights into what stories are performing strongly in real time. Its interface is more user-friendly and it is easy to compare different time periods, titles or author statistics. Chartbeat had a website overlay to show where readers are going on site, …
Chose Parse.ly
Parse.ly excels in providing detailed insights into how users are interacting with specific pieces of content, allowing us to make data-driven decisions about content strategy and optimization. Its real-time reporting also provides us with immediate feedback on the …
Chose Parse.ly
Faster feedback and quicker visualization than what Google provides. However, it obviously can't get as specific or in-depth as Google Analytics
Chose Parse.ly
Doesn't come with an integrated overlay like Chartbeat, but is more intuitive (just) than GA. Seems more accurate and detailed than Chartbeat but less than GA. It's my go-to for day-to-day traffic engagement but monthly I'm more likely to look at in-house GA-generated reports.
Chose Parse.ly
I have not used or evaluated any other platforms similar to Parse.ly.
Chose Parse.ly
Parse.ly is way better because of how much more user-friendly and intuitive it is.
Chose Parse.ly
Parse.ly is the most comprehensive interface and system.
Chose Parse.ly
Have nothing similar to compare it with.
Chose Parse.ly
Parse.ly gives a more detailed look into how content is performing, versus the overall site metrics provided by Google Analytics.
Chose Parse.ly
Firstly, I didn't make the business decision to use Parse.ly. I'm just an employee using it. However, the first thing you notice is the change in appearance. Parse.ly's dashboard looks far more complicated than Chartbeat's and the black, white, and green theme [are] not as …
Chose Parse.ly
Parse.ly has very rich products and market use in media for content analytics. [The] dashboard provides [a] holistic view on the overall site visitor's information and what needs improvements. [The] dashboard is divided based on sections, author, posts, pages, etc., on the site …
Chose Parse.ly
Adobe Analytics is our organization's "official" data source and provides a much more in-depth feature set and customizable reporting tool. It's much less user-friendly than Parse.ly but can provide more detailed reporting. Google Analytics is used by my organization as a …
Chose Parse.ly
I used Google Analytics for years. I loved it and still love it. Google Analytics isn't as robust as Parse.ly and doesn't have some of the same capabilities, nor do I trust the data as much. But Google Analytics is still really good, and it's free. If I were at a …
Chose Parse.ly
Parse.ly is far more user-friendly than Google Analytics, which feels like a developer's tool by comparison. Parse.ly feels like it is designed for ease of access and use. While analyzing trends is more difficult in Google Analytics, it is straightforward in Parse.ly. Google …
Chose Parse.ly
I've used other web analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Baidu Analytics, and SiteCatalyst.
Chose Parse.ly
I use then in tandem; where Parse.ly lacks, I go over to Google Analytics and vice versa. Sometimes I need to look deeper at referral sources and that is where Parse.ly isn't as strong, especially if I am looking at a bigger set of content.
Chose Parse.ly
We used Chartbeat, which wasn’t as user friendly.
Chose Parse.ly
Parse.ly works better than Google Analytics. This is mainly due to its simplicity whereas Google Analytics can quickly become quite complicated with a lot of moving parts. Parse.ly, on the other hand, is quick to learn and understand while also providing a lot of information.
Chose Parse.ly
Parse.ly offers a more friendly user experience, with better ease in navigating the software.
Chose Parse.ly
Parse.ly is easier to use and more self-explanatory than Google Analytics. The site essentially explains itself upon visiting it. Chartbeat was quite good but I believe Parse.ly provides more granular details on web traffic and gives the user more insights into how and why …
Chose Parse.ly
Parse.ly is easier to track and to understand for me than the features that Google Analytics offers. Nonetheless, graphics seems to be more complex in Google's environment, which [I feel] can be a weakness for Parse.ly in the case of Data Analysts. Although, both are used in …
Sprinklr Insights
Chose Sprinklr Insights
They are not included in all the things. It is integrated with different AI technologies. I like working with the Sprinklr team and building my own dashboards for new initiatives. The insights presented about the market are unmatched. See what people say about my brand or …
Chose Sprinklr Insights
I think the Sprinklr user interface is simpler than Brandwatch. The knowledge portal helps immensely to find out solutions. I really like the fact that there are many options available on Sprinklr to play around with and experiment with. Such a trial and error approach provides …
Chose Sprinklr Insights
Sprinklr is the best tool to analyse and understand the progress of your business
Chose Sprinklr Insights
Talkwalker is a similar platform, which we use predominantly for social media listening. Where Talkwalker excels is through its image recognition, where its robust AI model has been finely tuned to capture uses of our brand in the real-world, going beyond purely text mentions. …

Chose Sprinklr Insights
The ability to create, visualise, and analyse the effects of digital advertising and social media marketing initiatives has been a highlight for me. Customer service was a breeze to work with, and it helped me to be more productive. It maintains note of every interaction. It …
Chose Sprinklr Insights
We previously used Khoros Lithium and had way less reporting opportunities and a less advanced language recognition feature. User settings and routing has been more difficult to build and it was less user-friendly. In regards to reporting, Sprinklr provides way more options …
Chose Sprinklr Insights
We selected all 3: Modern Advertising, Modern Engagement and Modern Research as all these combined answer our needs best
Chose Sprinklr Insights
Sprinklr provides more features and capabilities than 95% of these other products. For an enterprise, Sprinklr gives the ability to continue to grow without sacrificing much in terms of functionality. We only use a fraction of the Sprinklr platform, but that piece is better and …
Chose Sprinklr Insights
Sprinklr is the best platform I've used. It's the most reliable, and presents endless insights that help towards our company success & understanding. The other platforms are not as advanced & do not provide us with all the tools, information & numbers needed.
Chose Sprinklr Insights
Sprout Social is on its way to being a competitor, but Sprinklr reports are just so much easier to customize, which is imperative for our reports -- especially when it comes to Sentiment and overall accuracy of the volumes we take in. SS's UI is great for accessibility, but …
Chose Sprinklr Insights
Haven't used other tools, have started with Sprinklr Research
Chose Sprinklr Insights
While I wasn't involved in the selection process, I believe the main reason Sprinklr Modern Research was chosen as our social listening platform was that we were already using Sprinklr as our social scheduling tool. This way, we would have all of our social tools under one …
Chose Sprinklr Insights
Gives our teams a quick and easy way to analyze AI-enriched historical data and key insights across social and digital sources. Works best in collecting data across multiple digital channels and leverages it to drive creativity, efficiency, growth and competitive advantages.
Chose Sprinklr Insights
Very similar offerings, the decision was largely made on price and perceived levels of customer service on top, together with some testing of the UX.
Chose Sprinklr Insights
I was not directly involved in the process of reviewing system options, but have found that Sprinklr meets the needs of our different departments that use it and makes it easy for all to collect, interpret, and share data within one system, even though they have different areas …

Likelihood to Recommend
For people working in online media, or digital content creators, the platform could help them understand their audience and allow them to interact with them in a user-friendly way. Since the digital media industry is booming, Parse.ly can allow the user and the content creators to meet each other's demands and reduce redundancies and bombard the users with unnecessary content.

For an event, when you need to check whether it was well-received or not; you can also check some demographic stats that are very interesting. You are also able to make quick reporting out of it and share it easily with your stakeholders. Very helpful in this situation.

Pros
  • Real-time metrics are great and help us decide what content to follow up on.
  • Audience segmenting is key, helps us determine where we're strong and where we're not.
  • Historical metrics are also helpful in helping us see what readers come back to overtime, which drives decisions about what content to devote more resources to producing.

  • Product Insight — Being able to add in our products so we can have positive and negative insights.
  • Community Insights — We were able to watch out community and see what they were talking about.
  • Crisis Monitoring — Being able to have dashboards that would monitor for crises across the internet.

Cons
  • Traffic source. I would like to be able to find the exact social media page a view comes from. Now I can only tell which platform.
  • I would like to be able to compare traffic more than one year ago. Now I'm limited to one year.
  • Some more customization of reports (or maybe more training).

  • More sources! I'm waiting to be able to listen to Tiktok specifically
  • Needs the ability to listen to responses around a particular post via url
  • Listening tends to go down a lot; not so much that it's impossible to work but it always tends to happen when I need a deadline turned around quick

Likelihood to Renew
Cost is always a factor when considering any renewal, so we will always see how that compares to other offerings, but we have been pleased with the functionality from Parse.ly. Importantly, it has engaged news teams, and writers can easily assess their own performance--it is not just a management tool. This wider take-up makes it more likely that we would renew.

Usability
The Parse.ly platform is very user-friendly and easy to use. User management is simple, and reporting setup only takes a few minutes. They provide very helpful documentation for implementing the scripts on your site and have great customer support to help with custom development such as implementing their content recommendation engine.

Sprinklr offers an extremely intuitive platform, which supports the creation of dashboards with an array of your own chosen widgets. This means you can have an extremely simple or complex dashboard, depending on your audience.

Support Rating
Seems to be more bugs than I encounter in Google Analytics, but Parse.ly is always very quick to answer my questions or fix something. It seems like most of my issues are due to communications around my requests being outside of the package we pay for with this tool (i.e., only two years of data).
Read full review
It is easy to submit a ticket when technical support is needed, and we have a wonderful rep who is very helpful with keeping in touch with us regularly, but the in-app "support" features could use some improvement. Sprinklr Reporting/Analytics is not overly intuitive. It could benefit from some additional user support guides, walk-throughs, or even just updating the "Glossary" so that more of the items in it actually have a listed definition.

Alternatives Considered
Parse.ly excels in providing detailed insights into how users are interacting with specific pieces of content, allowing us to make data-driven decisions about content strategy and optimization. Its real-time reporting also provides us with immediate feedback on the effectiveness of content changes, which is particularly important for content-heavy sites that need to iterate quickly.

Talkwalker is a similar platform, which we use predominantly for social media listening. Where Talkwalker excels is through its image recognition, where its robust AI model has been finely tuned to capture uses of our brand in the real-world, going beyond purely text mentions. Aside from this, the UI of Sprinklr, and the ability to sit alongside all other aspects of the platform which we use on a daily basis, makes it an easy-to-use feature for platform users.

Return on Investment
  • Sometimes in meetings our editorial director will point out stories that didn't perform well. To us, that means readers don't really care about the topic, so we'll pivot away from writing about that in the future. That might not be "business objectives" though.

  • Negative impact: due to many issues with social media accounts being disconnected we've been losing a lot of time trying to fix that with the support team. The issue persists despite our efforts and every week there are several SM accounts that are being disconnected from Sprinklr
  • Positive impact: improved analytical insight
