Synthesio, an Ipsos company (acquired 2019) offers social monitoring and engagement tools. Synthesio competes with major listening vendors like Radian6 and Sysomos.
A point of differentiation is that Synthesio offers a mix of technology and human analysis. In their view, human analysis is required to validate and interpret the data.
Customers are large, particularly French, brands.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I have used Synthesio for the brand's needs. It was mostly when it became compulsory for the brand to have a strong social media impact and presence. Social media monitoring is getting really important for brands who focus on consumers & their complaints. We were looking for a tool that can help us resolve this issue.
Pros
Social Listening
Social media monitoring
Social accounts hygiene
Brand safety & health
Consumer engagement
Cons
It really works well. It provides an overall marketing solution like other tools in the market.
Cost should be a little bit decreased as it is a big pain point for brand managers to go with a tool with high costs.
Synthesio has a lot of potentials but the sales reps were not good at selling it. I think it only happened to me, maybe others may have not faced this problem.

The dashboards are just ok. I think there could be a lot of improvement on the visual look of the dashboards. That being said, if you're just into the data. It works great.
