Pros

  • Content policy scanning: You don't have to do a site search for a particular phrase you want to change or erase. Instead, you can create a policy and rescan your site and Monsido will find it for you.
  • SEO issue monitoring: The prioritization of tasks is accurate and focussed on the customer experience rather than feeding the Google algorithm.
  • Customer service: Any questions are answered promptly and fully. They always check that you are happy with the resolution before closing the ticket.

Cons

  • The performance tracker is still a relatively new product (still in Beta at time of writing) so it will be interesting to see better guidance on how to use this monitor.
  • Writing content policies relies on regex knowledge which can be daunting for a new content manager, so a more extensive list of examples used by other organizations might be useful.
  • The knowledge base can be difficult to navigate when looking for an issue. Clearing older posts might make this easier to search.

Most Important Features

  • Accessibility tracking
  • SEO tracking
  • Content quality assurance

Return on Investment

  • It is an expensive tool if it isn't being properly harnessed, so some can struggle to see the worth.
