Simply Measured (discontinued) vs. Social Report

Simply Measured is great for people who do not want to spend too much time analyzing their owned social channel data but instead want a short and sweet snapshot of the your brand's performance. It is less appropriate for people who want to easily manipulate their data in many different ways.

If you want to really understand your social media, track how well it's performing and monitor how well you're reaching your goals and KPI's then Social Report is the best tool available. It is also particularly useful if you work in a team and need to grant and control access to your accounts to team members, produce reports for senior management and clients.

• Customer service analysis has been extremely useful for determining sentiment and adding context to real time crisis situations.
• Convenience of pulling data for all social channels at one time is extremely effective in making decisions in real time and to compare against other channel performance. The cross channel export minimizes a great deal of time for exporting data. Nearly all social channel data is available.
• Reports are extremely user friendly, visual and easy to export. Also the ability to see the raw data and to have it for historical reference is great.
• Key insights generated in the dashboard page help add fast context for performance.

• Bulk upload of social media posts

• I wish I could download the entire reports as a jpg.
• More often than I'd have liked, I had to re-authorize my accounts.
• It would be nice to be able to move the graphs around to reflect my client's individual needs.

• The UTM feature works really well for automatically appending your social media updates with Google tracking. I would just like a little more control over a couple of the fields. A minor thing quite personal to me really.
• I dont believe it has a mobile app.

For my current client, it's not right - they would not be actionable with the data to really need this tool. For my past clients, I would suggest they stay on it and i think they would agree.

The interface is very simple and organized around the core elements of the platform : the reports.

Extremely fast response and they go above and beyond without asking. The support team has provided me data beyond our limit before and it was not an issue and not an extra cost, really good business support.

Very supportive, personal and informed. They really want to understand the problem and often solutions become features. Great support

Very good implementation.

Customer service and the sales team is what was a key seller for us. We didn't feel pressured to buy something we wouldn't use and they we're able to listen to our needs and give us what fit for us. We've tried hootsuite but it's was too much out of the box

I used Hootsuite alongside Social Report for a long time, over the last couple of years though I found myself using Social Report more. Today it is the primary choice for social media management. I value the fact that reporting is not an expensive add-on and that the customer service is so personal. It could be argued that the streams / columns layout of Hootsuite gives a social media manager better view of topics, influencers and channels but in my experience very few companies work at this level of sophistication. They want ease and success. Social Report gives you that.

• Tumblr was a huge channel for us but so opaque. Simply Measured really helped us start to understand how to better interact on the platform.
• Being able to work backward and identify potential influencers who were already talking about our brand was a great time saver and value.

• Social Report has a feature that allows you to place tracking code on your website. Your social media updates can then be attributed to conversions. This is very useful for monitoring conversions from your activity.
• The Evergreen and scheduling functions of Social Report allow you to work effectively and efficiently. Taking informed actions based on results, leads to greater success.
• The reporting tools and features save time right across your organisation, which also contributes to the ROI of your digital marketing activity.
