Additionally, the vendor says TrackMaven is the only marketing analytics platform that gives marketers the ability to do both across all of their digital channels. TrackMaven’s marketing analytics platform integrates with all the tools marketers are already using to measure their performance — including social networks, web analytics providers, and all major…N/A

Chose Simply Measured (discontinued)
Simply Measured has a much better interface than Sysyomos, by a long shot. It also is more robust in the ability to manipulate and cut your data depending on what you want to see.
Chose Simply Measured (discontinued)
For the value, Simply Measured made sense for us. Our social efforts were still fairly young and we wanted something that would let us show value and get more spending budget. That said, if I had unlimited cash, I would have loved to have used Sprinklr. The company is trying to …
Chose Simply Measured (discontinued)
Simply Measured has more in-depth reports than other tools in this category. Other tools may feature a lower price and are easier to learn. Others focus on only one channel, let's say Twitter. Simply Measured is comprehensive, extensive and has the depth to match. It's one of …
Chose Simply Measured (discontinued)
Convenience is massive and provides a lot more data that we use than some of the other platforms in one place and also it fits in easily with our statistical programming.
Chose Simply Measured (discontinued)
Simply Measured just does such a great job of taking the data from our social accounts and making it accessible to the end user.
Chose Simply Measured (discontinued)
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.
Chose Simply Measured (discontinued)
Used most of the higher end data tools like Radian6, Viral Heat, Sysomos, etc. This tool is really not a direct competitor - kind of unique in what it does and reports.
Chose Simply Measured (discontinued)
I wasn't involved in the selection process of Simply Measured or the other analytics tools that I have used. It was by far the easiest tool that I have used. Adobe Social's reporting was lackluster in my opinion, particularly for the cost associated with it. Sendible is another …
Chose Simply Measured (discontinued)
Simply Measured can provide more details and export automated reports, but Crimson Hexagon does not have the same cost structure so many more monitors can be afforded to be set up.
TrackMaven
Chose TrackMaven
TrackMaven is easier to use and has a better interface but we still use NetBase for other specific requests.
Chose TrackMaven
I can't imagine ditching TrackMaven. It's a MUST HAVE. Better than pretty much any vendor that we use.
Chose TrackMaven
I inherited TrackMaven, as it was already being used when I started working here, but I really like it! It's much easier to use and has an incredibly fast learning curve so I feel like I'm using all of the features of the tool right away. The customer support team is very …
Chose TrackMaven
I don't have much experience with other competitors. I've been very happy with using TrackMaven. I think the team at TrackMaven has been really great in taking the time to make sure I understand the platform and that I am getting all of my questions answered. The staff is super …
Chose TrackMaven
TrackMaven is head and shoulders above the other products I've used. Again, cleaner and more friendly UI. Plus the data seems to be more accurate.
Chose TrackMaven
I have personally used HootSuite and have interacted with many alternatives. There is no comparison. HootSuite and similar products simply aggregate your social media feeds into one platform and allows for scheduled-postings. TrackMaven takes data above and beyond to deliver …

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 your brand is looking for understanding competitors and normalizing data across disparate follower counts/footprint size, Trackmaven is great. Users need to understand the power of Boolean logic. TrackMaven needs dedicated users and time spent in building reports in order to understand how to use it.

Pros
  • 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.

  • Tagging and filtering features in the real time activity feed
  • Customizable email alerts when our content or the content of others go viral.
  • Visualizer provides a bar, line or area graph that can easily be exported as a CSV, JPG, PDF or SVG.

Cons
  • 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.

  • For the foreseeable future. TrackMaven is focused on measuring social sharing. We wish it also captured information about pageviews and monthly unique visitors -- the kind of data that lives inside Google Analytics -- or integrated it through an API. It would be exceptionally helpful not just to have all those metrics in one place, but also to easily measure correlations between them.

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.

More than likely, yes. This is a company with people I trust that offer an exceptional product.

Return on Investment
  • 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.

  • Paid Search & Social - TrackMaven has given us the ability to develop smarter social advertising and reach our audience with the right messages
  • Account Analytics - the account overview we receive in TrackMaven of our own social media accounts is duplicative of what we already get through other software
  • Funnel Analysis - If we can better see which efforts are paying off with leads, at a granular level, we can use our social spend budget more wisely
