Percolate is the only software I used so far, which allowed me to create marketing campaigns.
Chose Percolate, now part of Seismic
Percolate and Falcon have many similarities and provide many of the same features, however Percolate felt a bit more robust than Falcon, although it does come with a higher price tag to match. Both platforms are excellent for content approval workflows, content scheduling, and …
Chose Percolate, now part of Seismic
Social publishing tools are very good, better than competitors. Percolate is constantly adding new features and functionality and can manage the workload and storage that Domo can’t.
Chose Percolate, now part of Seismic
Everything is better than Percolate. It is better than the free version of HootSuite.
Chose Percolate, now part of Seismic
Percolate provided a more robust portfolio of offerings in the social space. We felt that although Percolate was not the cheapest, that it provides the most value to our social strategy and has been instrumental in getting us to the place we are now.
Chose Percolate, now part of Seismic
Percolate has much more functionality than Social Studio. Social Studio is really only meant to be used as a social publishing platform. Percolate does social publishing much better, has a great file management system, has a calendar for more than just social, and has the …
Chose Percolate, now part of Seismic
The free version of Hootsuite does not support the approval process so that did not work for our organization. Percolate was much more user friendly than Spredfast, has a more streamlined calendar view, and has more reporting features for data analysis. The approval workflow …
Chose Percolate, now part of Seismic
I was trained on Percolate from the time I started my position.
Chose Percolate, now part of Seismic
Three major areas separate Percolate from the competition in my POV:
  • They view themselves as truly, an all-in-one SaaS model. Other large, enterprise platforms, like Sprinklr, have the old a la carte approach to their platforms. Everything is extra. Every new addition or …
Chose Percolate, now part of Seismic
I have used tools like HootSuite and trello to manage social media and different tasks and activities respectively. Trello is a great tool to keep track of your projects and campaigns. Unfortunately, Percolate is not that sophisticated. Percolate is slow compared to trello and …
Chose Percolate, now part of Seismic
Percolate is more robust and user-friendly than other tools we've used. The collaborative feature in particular was very attractive, and made it stand out for us against products like Sprout Social. The photo editing tool is also very useful and superior to tools that are …
Chose Percolate, now part of Seismic
The main features that attracted us to Percolate were the editorial calendar and the multimedia database. Additionally, the ability to take content beyond the usual social channels and interface with Wordpress AND bring in (paid) third party content made the purchase choice …

Chose Sprinklr Marketing
We are also using Modern Engagement and both products combined together give us a perfect overview of paid&organic media performance.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
This tool was much easier to implement and understand for my team.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
Sprinklr is a more effective solution in terms of campaign operations for larger networks who operate at scale.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
We are using different platforms for different clients. It depends on how the client's budget and what they can invest in their reporting tool. Sprinklr is the most complex, biggest, and most customizable. We say if Brandwatch is LEGO Duplo, then Socialbakers is LEGO Classic …
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
We selected the Advertising product because we were using the other products listed. I personally haven't used the Modern Care product but the customer service team loves it. I like using the Research and Engagement tools more as they feel less time-intensive to set up and use.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
There are none, otherwise we would have switched.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
I definitely prefer the native platform ad managers over Spredfast. They are much easier to use and saves me time and frustration. I usually just give up with Spredfast after I get so many errors that I can't figure out. I never have to worry that my ad is not running when I …
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
We use each of our tools for distinct projects and Sprinklr is the main social tool that we use, primarily because of the 'social listening' component which allows us to see where the conversation is among our competitors. This is critical in developing our positioning on …
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
I used Social Bakers in the past, but at this moment we use Sprinklr, and I like the platform.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
Not part of decision making. Sprinklr was already implemented when I became involved with the platform.
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
I've only used the free version of Hootsuite and Sprinklr had many more functions than that (though Sprinklr was paid so not really and apples to apples comparison). HubSpot was more of a web content tool with social plugins which were fine but nothing special. Sprinklr was …
Chose Sprinklr Marketing
Sprinklr is above and beyond all other platforms currently on the market. No other platform meets the capabilities.

Very useful for the management, planning, and programming of all social networks, as well as marketing campaigns. One of the best tools to make life easier for community managers and automate daily tasks such as content publishing. It is my favorite for managing my clients' networks.

Sprinklr Modern Marketing is a great tool to gauge the competitive landscape on certain topics that your company may want to be known for. It is also great at indicating the share of voice % based on the amount of mentions in the social landscape. Linkedin API has many limitations though which is our most important social platform

Pros
  • You can schedule all the planning done for each social network, with the date and time you want to publish, without any inconvenience.
  • It has many templates of campaigns and content for social networks, which facilitates the work and the workload of designers and community managers.
  • The management of the marketing campaign is very efficient, as it monitors the progress, performance, and progress of the campaign also presents a complete statistical report that helps to improve the plans and strategies used.

  • Allows you to share and suggest pieces of content to other entities within the organization.
  • Has great reporting with lots of filters to drill down to the information you need.
  • It's easy to schedule posts and see them within the planner so you know you have your week or month covered. It's also easy to move things around if you need to reschedule something to a later date.

Cons
  • Data is a mess. So unreliable. Takes so much time to create a concrete report.
  • There is no ability to export anything. No calendar PDFs, no data Excel sheets, nothing.
  • No paid management functionality.
  • Hated their listening tool abilities relative to other tools I've used.

As we have grown to implement Percolate with more and more people within our company, we have also run into more features we'd like to see in the app. The Percolate team has been extremely understanding about these requests, and even visited our offices to sit and listen to exactly what we are looking for. Assuming these new features make it into production with them, we'll definitely stay with Percolate for the long term

Very responsive team, always ready to jump on a call or provide any other ad-hoc support, both for the central team as well as for the markets. I appreciate the opportunity to organise onboarding calls with the markets when we identify any needs in terms of trainings/upskilling

Rarely has a company shown this much support during implementation. This almost got to the point where it was too much hand holding. Sometimes, social teams just want the keys to the car so they can drive it themselves instead of waiting on someone to drive along with them...

Alternatives Considered
Three major areas separate Percolate from the competition in my POV:
  • They view themselves as truly, an all-in-one SaaS model. Other large, enterprise platforms, like Sprinklr, have the old a la carte approach to their platforms. Everything is extra. Every new addition or component comes at a cost and does not automatically update your license. Percolate has a different approach. If it is an update and it is good for the platform, you should get it. Therefore, they update the tool OFTEN and always evolving the functionality.
  • Which leads to my next point, Percolate wants to build the best-in-class social content management tool, period. Therefore, they are not chasing ways to upcharge you with new functions and modules. They focus on their core product and make it better and better.
  • Lastly, the pricing is simple and easy to understand. The cost is the cost.. no hidden details. Good luck getting that transparency with platforms like Sprinklr or Radian6.

Return on Investment
  • Percolate has made it much easier to communicate between teams and has provided a return on investment in that area in particular.
  • Percolate also helps save time because you are able to schedule social media posts across channels easily.
  • It has also been an easy way to work with remote team members, which is very helpful.

  • Measurable and easy to see clicks and actions taken on ads lends to a positive or negative ROI depending on the call to action.
  • As far as the cost of the tool, it's good to manage and control many users so I'd say this is a positive ROI.
