Sprout Social

Businesses can manage social media engagement through SproutSocial software. Three main functions: publishing, engagement and analytics through which Sproutsocial enables social communication with their customers and prospects. SproutSocial offers integration with Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Google+, Zendesk and UserVoice. It is one stop solution to handle and operate your social media activities.

Sprout Social provides really nice reports and statistics, It would be nice if they include LinkedIn in to their reports as it provides reports for FB, SproutSocial should also provide report for LinkedIn, It will be very helpful B2B to sales team. It is bit expensive than other few other social media management softwares like Hootsuite. Apart from this two, I found it very nice and easy to use software.

SproutSocial provides various features like social media management, social customer services, and social media marketing. Through this software you can publish your stories and post to social media and increase your engagement with people around your region or globe and it provides analytic based on the interaction and engagement you have with people. I like the reporting feature most, it provides various detailed reports like engagement report, Group report, team report, FB reports or other social channel report, Trends reports and comparisons.

Sprout Social is a tool that could help make your social media team (and potentially your marketing team) to be even more effective as it includes social media management, task management and team collaboration. Undeniably, the 3 things mentioned are the most essential things in maintaining your business' social media presence.

Not that Sprout Social is very limited as I know that these features are also just the things your social media team would need but, considering looking at its features and aligning it with its pricing package, one could say Sprout Social is a bit expensive. I hope there's a way to work around their price :)

Overall, Sprout Social is good for social media management. However, it might be important to note that although this is a good tool for social media management, this does not mean you'd be able to have better social media value by subscribing to it (common misconception). The value of your business' social media account(s) and the engagement of your audience is all up to you and your social media experts.

Sprout Social does a great job in converting the flaws in other similar software to its advantage and making it convenient for its users in using them. Its possible for us to assign our accounts to others without the need for revealing our login credentials. So its makes it easy for social media manager to look after several accounts without asking for the clients credentials.

Sprout Social doesn't provide vast options in adding social accounts like Pinterest, Instagram which are used widely. It's a disadvantage in using Sprout for managing a lot of social pages. Even it integration with LinkedIn isn't great due to its lack of efficiency in managing the profiles and endorsements, etc. Its has its own barrier in using it and it may hinder the business that is trying to tap the market with all kinds of social platforms

I have been using Sprout Social for almost a year but i haven't realized any hinder with its platform even though it doesn't support widely known social media. Since I'm a new start up couldn't able to hire a person to manage digital marketing so till that I may not realize the loss of a single social media engagements value. It's common with new startup and grown companies in accepting their undedicated resources with entire social media channels or with a single social media channel.

Sprout Social helps in having social media marketing tool. It works properly and manages the relationship between employees and customers. Sprout Social is my choice for social media marketing. It enables positive communication and works effectively. There are hundreds of social media options for firms. Sprout Social is a solution for medium and small sized firms specially.

With all best features there is a problem with price as all of the features worked well and gave me positive result but when I buy it I found it expensive one. Sprout Social is helping me now for having a positive social media marketing and creating a very beneficial relationship with consumers. I am reaching to many employees by having Sprout Social.

My feedback for Sprout Social is satisfied as after having it personally I found it reliable and helpful during my social media marketing. I have small firm but need social media marketing at higher levels. I was trying hard before with extra time but now it is more easier for social media marketing. Sprout Social is lovely and medium plus small sized firms can use it more efficiently. I will rank it 4 out of 5, Just because o the pricing feature.

It is easy to use. That's a credit to how the designed their interface. I was able to figure it out. My colleagues were able to figure it out. Multiple profiles were easy to handle for different campaigns and we were able to see the bigger picture and the smaller picture nicely filed together. There was that single moment of insight where I finally realized that I actually understood social media. Our engagement with our followers made it a truly unique and special moment for our company; and that has made it possible to make it where we are.

We really didn't have any "worst" part with the software. I couldn't really say the same for others out there. I really disliked some of the aesthetics of the platforms we needed to use. Twitter changes a lot of things for the worse and Facebook is a headache to navigate; but Sprout makes things simple and easy. No headaches, no struggles, and no having to worry about how things are being changed in different social networks unless it impacts how we share things.

I know "idiot-proof" may not be in common vernacular, but to be entirely honest I didn't understand social at first. Our team is just a group of three people trying to make a living in design work. When we started to understand a need for being on social, I drew the short straw and was tasked with setting up our "social presence". I didn't understand it at first. The process became "sign up for a lot of software and see what works". I had tried a lot of different things. Connected our social accounts to a lot of different applications. It wasn't until I found Sprout that I was really understanding how to use "social". Twitter was the biggest thing for our business. We saw how our creations could positively impact people in their daily lives and how our customers appreciated what we did for them. We focused on making a statement with our designs rather than "just creating something", and Sprout enabled us to really express how we felt about what we made and highlight how others felt about that. For our customers, this was the most important thing.

Sprout Social is a social media management software tool based online which focuses on four main relevant components to help social media marketing efforts including monitor, engage, measure and grow. Pricing for Sprout Social starts with a free trial with no credit card necessary. Paid plans utilize tiered features starting at $59 to $99 per month, per user to $500 per month for three users with white label branding, advanced analytics and more. I also like that you can quickly integrate an entire help desk system such as Zendesk or UserVoice into your account quickly. You can save in drafts so you're not forced to publish anything offline though that's always a good idea. I like the team calendar function which gives you an overview of team wide scheduled messages. The smart inbox is probably the coolest feature about Sprout Social which features a main activity stream containing all details about your social media marketing campaigns in your account dashboard. The collaboration tools are quite solid inside your account along with the ability to store contact information like customer relationship management software. You can also view complete histories between agents and staff with fans, prospects and customers. The reporting is quite good and have read the Twitter analytics are some of the best in the market, though I'm still doing my research to learn for myself. I really like the user interface in this software. I find it to be stylish and super easy to use. There is a lot going on at times but you can move around your account quickly and find everything you need easily. Sprout Social does what it does very well which is social media management. It allows for fan, prospect and customer engagement through a few major social media platforms very easily. The mobile capabilities are good you can check messages and stats, view histories, search keywords, manage your social media feeds and even publish messages from any device where you have an internet connection. The ability to track brand mentions across the entire web as well as the integrated social media channels is great and that is a feature that differentiates it from others. I like the idea of engaging fans and brand advocates using this software. Currently, it seems like a contact manager and help desk rather than a sales tool. But this may very well suit businesses do not sell via social media but have the need to manage customer support and care for the brand by being able to keep tabs on it online. I like that I've heard the Spout Social support team is very good but haven't had to contact them yet, and I like you can export important data and information from the software, too.

The integrations possible with sprout social seem limited. There is not an ability to close the deal if you want to sell directly from the platform integrated to Facebook ecommerce for example. It seems the best use of Sprout Social is to monitor brand mentions and provide customer support and it does that all very well. They clearly have nailed down a market that doesn't necessarily sell products or service via social media but have only the need to respond and monitor their reputation this way. It syncs to LinkedIn but I don't see any reporting available for this account. Sprout Social is a bit more expensive than other platforms I've tried. One review I read the person mentioned you get what you pay for and that well may be true but that depends if you find the value of the software to be include all that you need in the first place. If you're using this as a sales tool in my opinion there are better software solutions available that include management tools as well for less cost.

I really like how easy Sprout Social makes it to correspond with fans online and to monitor the brand and take care of it in real time. I believe Sprout Social could extend it's specialization to help grow the bottom directly with ecommerce functionality integration or social media landing pages, or social contests. With contests you can raise awareness for the brand and not just respond to it's mentions but that's just my opinion. I still recommend Sprout Social as long as you don't need to maximize your bottom line using social media channels.

Sprout Social is yet another great social media management software that has great tools for bloggers and online brands. The best thing about Sprout Social is the detailed and customized social insights that they provide for your social channels. Also, they have very simple pricing plans that makes easy to pick depending on your needs.

There are a couple of things that Sprout Social needs to focus on in the future updates. One of them is the social CRM tool that is available in packages for small businesses. This could be made more comprehensive with industry specific addons.

If you are a blogger or a small/medium brand that has most of it's customer engagement going on in the digital spaces, I think you should pick Sprout Social. The reason you should pick Sprout Social is that it provides great insights on competition and lead generation within your specific niche.

You can use Sprout Social via your desktop or on your mobile devices (iOS and Android apps).The reporting feature is solid and provides you with information about your activities. Sprout Social is also suitable for teamwork. Such functions as The Sprout Queue and ViralPost give you the opportunity to download content and check that messages from you get sent on the right time and reach their recipients. The support team for Sprout Social is efficient and responsive.

There was no LinkedIn report until recently, and now no connection to Instagram and Pinterest as far as I know. These platforms are more and more popular, so it's a flaw, but it will hopefully be fixed soon. Another thing that bothers me is that there is no opportunity to quickly switch between different accounts on the mobile app. It's very critical for me as I use the software for several organizations.

Sprout Social is a social media management platform designed mostly for businesses of size. It focuses on three essential functions: publishing, engaging and reporting. The software has proved to be extremely popular and effective for organizations that are preoccupied with their social media performance and have a lack of administrators to fulfil the work. Sprout Social gives you hints on people you should try to connect with, who can mostly influence your brand and who you should give priority to. The functionality of the software is very high as well as its level of customization. Using Sprout, you are able to control the access to your account and set some limitations for certain users. The post scheduling option is a plus. There is plenty of learning information on the Sprout Social website including webinars which I find extremely useful.

Sprout is incredibly functional and customizable. I want the how I can monitor the reports. I really like the ability to see what is currently trendings, what hashtags are popular and who are our brand advocates.. and its easy to see because of keyword notifications. So I can make better insights to develop my strategies and to see what I need for better marketing.

There is a missed opportunity in building a Sprout community for us as customers to advocate for the brand and feel a deeper connection to the company. Sometimes the results missing some data that I need and important, but can easily find out on Google. But the support is good and can quickly solve the problems.

This software helps you keep track of all your messages without losing any opportunity. It will notify you about the customer’s reactions. it also gives the result in no time, so you won’t miss anything important this also great for monitoring topic so you will always in trends. And last but not the least the tasks module is awesome. If you have the budget to use SproutSocial, I would highly recommend it.
