CRITICAL

“Strong on specific channels, but overall experience is poor”

3.0
May 11, 2018
Overall, Sysomos was very strong in terms of capturing mentions on specific channels, but leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to other channels. User experience on the channel, particularly on the Analyze function has a lot to be improved, as it is not as intuitive. Servicing from the accounts or client success team is also a big room for improvement.

    Sysomos - best listening tool for a beginner

    4.0
    May 20, 2019
    Sysomos was the best tool I used as a beginner in Social media analytics. It's very easy to use and very user-friendly. It helped me in my starting career as it's the easiest and most efficient listening tool. Boolean query setup was the most important and useful part. Overall data fetching capability of Sysomos is best.

    I Feel it is a great tool for social monitoring. But of late the change in User interface and the functionalities made me give a lesser rating. I feel the older interface was easy to use and simple. the newer interface is a bit clunky
