RivalIQ doesn't try to be everything like RavenTools, and it isn't a management tool with some analytics like Sprout Social. It is a pure analytics package, which is exactly what we needed. Because of this tight focus, they do it better than anyone else.
These products are similar, but don't provide the same friendly interface or analytical view of the social space. Both of the platforms above (Olapic + Track Maven) are great for social media users, influencers, and trend-data, but if you're looking at improving your own …
I demoed this platform as an alternative to Rival IQ and it has some of the similar features but the cost is much higher so it wasn't in our budget. If I had the choice, I might choose Falcon over Rival IQ because the visuals are much better than they are in Rival IQ.
They were really flexible with a project that needed us to plug in a TON more competitors than an existing plan would have been feasible for; we enjoyed the tool enough to keep them on afterward, and even renewed even a year later. They appeared to do competitive analysis much …
Zoho Social is a much easier and integrated tool that accomplishes my tasks at a way faster rate. If you are busy like me but still enjoy running your own marketing this is the platform you are looking for. It Is a real treasure for small businesses and owner operated marketing.
Zoho Social is cheaper and gives more flexibility than Hootsuite in my opinion. Hootsuite is bigger and sleeker in design, but I appreciate the functionality that Zoho Social offers.
Zoho Social's payment structure is much more affordable than Hootsuite. As a nonprofit, we were paying $37.50 a month, and then Hootsuite increased the monthly payment amount, doubling it to $75 a month. As a small, self-funded nonprofit, we could not continue using Hootsuite …
Kontentino is nothing compared to Zoho Social. It's good for their approval flow of your posts but that's like it. They only show the posts and analytics of the posts you published through their platform and not many to no competitors analytics. Hootsuite is good but …
Zoho Social can do nearly everything Hootsuite can for a fraction of the cost. For small businesses like ours, it is a no-brainer to go with Zoho Social which clearly understands the needs of mom and pop businesses like ours!
Loomly is so far the best out of all the platform options. However, Zoho is a strong contender. Loomly has more features. Pricing also comes into play.
I have had to reconnect many of them or just have them bog down and freeze. The only one that doesn't give me problems in Meta, but it only posts to the two platforms. I love that Zoho Social lets me post to so many platforms at one time.
I would say it is right on par with hubspot regariding social media and, in my opinion, analytics. However, the only aspect and caveat that gets me is the analytics compared to hootsuite. If Zoho Social can get the analytics to be as close as possible to hootsuite I would use …
It is great for competitive analysis if that's an ongoing need, and the upside of how it calculates engagement rate is that it's consistent across competitors (even if I think the methodology is flawed). We really only used the competitive data up front, and then sparingly afterward. If you want true impressions/engagement rate for Twitter, Instagram, and in some cases Facebook, then this is not as good.
n a crowded landscape of scheduling software options, this particular solution stands out as a beacon of simplicity and user-friendliness. What truly sets it apart is its ability to strike a delicate balance between ease of use and content flexibility. Unlike some other platforms that may impose restrictions on content size and compromise quality during scheduling, this software manages to preserve the integrity of the content while offering an intuitive interface.
Zoho Social helps us develop posts, and it facilitates the automated publishing, which is vital in sharing the content we want.
Besides, Zoho Social is fruitful in customer engagement plan, where the software manages different accounts, and there is free communications throughout.
Finally, there is social media evaluation, monitoring, and analytics, and all of them brings to us an inference that is accurate and digital.
The Calendar view displaying published posts would be a great feature. You can view published posts displayed in a list, but when scheduling and arranging posts based on a calendar, seeing upcoming posts as well as past posts can be very helpful.
I am enjoying using Zoho Social and I look forward to really unwrapping what it has to offer. I need to be able to essentially offload all my social media posting and work so that I can do the actual work of sewing clothes, which is what my business actually does. This way, I can spend a few weeks making different types of content while also sewing clothes and post the content in a way that builds a story for my business and is entertaining.
I think it provides good value for money, a streamlined, intuitive, user friendly platform, with lots of features I'm still discovering. The social media publishing is easy and effective to use. We would love to see the monitoring feature included in the basic package but for the price you can't ask much more, really
Support is continuous and very helpful. Email, phone, and chat support are always on and someone is always there to help. Your CSR will contact you quarterly to take your temperature and offer assistance or training, if necessary. Feature requests are taken seriously. They share their product development roadmap, which is a major plus.
The guys at Zoho are amazing. They are always in touch and are willing to help. They regularly send support emails to find out how they can help. They send tips and information on updates. When you need help, they don't hesitate to call. Support is really great from Zoho.
These products are similar, but don't provide the same friendly interface or analytical view of the social space. Both of the platforms above (Olapic + Track Maven) are great for social media users, influencers, and trend-data, but if you're looking at improving your own brands' performance, Rival IQ is the best bet.
Zoho Social is more practical. It has the features we need. We just want to share content on our social media accounts and view the post-share stats. The integration process is easy, the sharing process is easy, and these are the key features we need at the moment. Also, we can manage our team and responsibilities by Zoho Social's permission system quite efficiently.
