Featured Reviews

Leonid Mironov - PeerSpot reviewer
Social & Digital Media Performance, Senior Manager at Majid Al Futtaim
Facilitating data-driven decisions with powerful reporting and case management
The most valuable features are case management and reporting. The Unified-CXM Platform also helps in data aggregation and offers the capability to export data in different formats and integrate it with common CRMs like Microsoft 360 or Salesforce. Additionally, the ability to manage access to the data and ensure visibility to third parties is quite beneficial. The solution allows me to take data-driven decisions and identify gaps within the business by collecting and labeling data extensively.
Joyce Mayor - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Manager at Procter & Gamble
Unified social workflows have transformed reporting, listening, and engagement across channels
The best features Sprout Social offers are exceptional reporting capabilities and an intuitive user interface. I have several colleagues who use it to create posts, and the training takes about five minutes, especially for new users. Excellent customer service and a great social listening tool stand out as well. Aggregating mentions, quickly assessing the competitive landscape by channel, and excellent and highly responsive customer service are key strengths. I love the Sprout Social link feature to connect Instagram users with the URLs I am directing them to, and the flexibility to schedule across platforms in bulk or individually at optimal post times is valuable.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"From a cost perspective, it requires replacing, but in terms of business benefits, Sprinklr provides a very good customer experience, which is the major benefit for us."
"The metrics I track focus on engagement and impressions, and I've achieved high impression rates with Sprinklr, probably around six percent, because it's easier for participants to share and the platform allows users to share posts with unique URLs, enabling coworkers to make posts of their own while appearing organic and thus increasing impression and view rates."
"It is easy to invite advocates in to help with community management, plus there are tons of integrations with other customer support products."
"Being able to use moving images, like GIFs, is important, and multi-language support is crucial, as it allows content in multiple languages and increases engagement and impressions significantly."
"The most valuable features are case management and reporting."
"The interface is the most valuable feature to me."
"The Unified-CXM Platform has enabled cost savings on resources by aggregating data and sorting messages before reaching an agent, reducing the workload and optimizing headcount."
"Customization and custom rule engines are highly valuable, enabling the creation of custom rules tailored to specific needs."
"Sprout Social is the best; it is very good, actually, because I have used Intercom and Zendesk, but when I look at the different software I have used as a customer service agent, I would go for Sprout Social as it is more complete and easy to navigate."
"Sprout Social has positively impacted my organization through time saving, quick reporting, and easy connection to our social media platforms."
"Switching to Sprout Social saved our business and helped us achieve all we needed to achieve."
"Sprout Social is a great tool because it has helped me unify my social media program on a single platform, enables me to track the impact of social media campaigns, and has allowed my support team to streamline their workflows to handle social media tickets effectively."
"Sprout Social has positively impacted my organization by saving us time and effort."
"Sprout Social has positively impacted my organization by facilitating seamless content planning and publishing, allowing us to engage with our clients and the public with well-timed and relevant posts."
"In my experience, the best features Sprout Social offers are the ability to manage multiple campaigns."
"Sprout Social has saved us a lot of time, provided the convenience of a single login to multiple socials, and requires less time for training, making it very easy to use and start using it."
 

Cons

"Sprinklr could be more drag-and-drop friendly."
"There could be more videos on how to use Sprinklr."
"The interaction and integration with our CRM should be improved, especially to ensure security with on-premises solutions and to be suitable for banking environments."
"Sprinklr should consider not charging for everything. Services such as premium support and onboarding should be part of the deal."
"If I compare Sprinklr with NICE, people still opt for NICE. This is because they are not as confident with the use cases of Sprinklr, even though Sprinklr is trying to improve."
"The support system is a major drawback because there is no live chat system for immediate issue reporting, leading to delayed resolutions."
"The solution is somewhat scalable yet requires improvement in pre-existing integrations with CRM systems like Salesforce and Zendesk; the reliance on custom solutions for integrations is time-consuming and resource-intensive, which hampers scalability."
"Sometimes I'll log into LinkedIn, and it won't show the scheduled post."
"I believe technical support must be improved in Sprout Social."
"Sprout Social can be improved as it lacks native support for every social network."
"If you do not already have existing solutions and you are using the platform to help schedule out marketing campaigns, it will not be that helpful."
"Additionally, it does not always support high-quality images or videos, and it is difficult to figure out how to get them into the platform."
"As of now, I have been using Sprout Social for almost two years, but there are some glitches in the back-end; sometimes the posts are not integrated or do not come with the proper details, proper dates, or proper content."
"I wish the ability to tag other Facebook pages was a reality with Sprout Social."
"Sprout Social can be improved because the user experience of having hundreds of channels to navigate can be quite fiddly, especially when trying to bulk post."
"Sprout Social could be improved in several areas. The user interface could be more user-friendly and intuitive for new users."
