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.

Deputy Director of Public Affairs at Mississippi Department of Transportation
Centralized social media management has transformed traffic alerts and accessibility reporting
We have such a high volume of social posts that we make, which makes Sprout Social essential for organizing and keeping everything organized on our content calendar. We would not be able to do it without Sprout Social, and it is very easy to use; the user interface is very friendly and intuitive. Multiple people in our public affairs division at the Mississippi Department of Transportation use it, and it is super useful, so we do not plan on switching. The best features Sprout Social offers include its user interface, which is very easy to use. The service does a lot in terms of social media management, and it is easy to pick up to schedule social posts and keep them organized. The AI functionality that helps with accessibility by adding alt text is one of the coolest things about it, and building custom reports for social media analytics is very easy; instead of going into the platform natively for data, you can create custom reports and analyze your social media program easily. The custom reports feature has helped our team significantly because we used to manually pull information, such as reach and engagement for our social media platforms by exporting Excel documents. Now, we can set up a report for each platform with metrics such as reach and engagement rate, and it automatically sends you that report monthly. This allows us to analyze what type of content works best and adapt our social media strategy accordingly. The AI functionality within Sprout Social that I regularly use is creating alt text, which is very accurate and requires minimal editing. This feature is particularly useful with upcoming ADA requirements for accessibility, making our posts more accessible. The AI that generates this alt text is a huge time saver, especially for social media posts that involve many graphics requiring alt text. Sprout Social positively impacts our organization by enabling us to manage a high volume of social media posts efficiently. Managing those posts manually on various platforms would not be possible with the number of people we have. It is a big time efficiency tool that brings everything together and boosts workflow here at MDOT. I estimate that Sprout Social saves our team around 20 hours each week or month compared to doing things manually.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Sprinklr provides an in-depth, comprehensive solution akin to Salesforce for social media, offering a 360-degree cover with numerous options."
"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 scheduling feature is, of course, key just so I can do it in one sitting, plan out the month, and be ahead of everything."
"The most effective feature is the automation of the routing engine."
"I recommend it for entrepreneurs who are wearing a lot of different hats."
"In my experience, the best features Sprout Social offers are the ability to manage multiple campaigns."
"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."
"We would not be able to do it without Sprout Social, and it is very easy to use; the user interface is very friendly and intuitive."
"One of the biggest advantages of Sprout Social is its user-friendly dashboard and clear visual reports, which make it easy to interpret data and present insights to clients."
"I have definitely seen a return on investment with Sprout Social, as it has led to time savings, improved efficiency, and financial returns since not everything had to be manually posted."
"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

"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."
"Depending on someone's needs, based on the price and functionality, I would lean towards no recommendation."
"The pricing of the solution is quite high, rated at nine to ten. The cost should be reconsidered given the capabilities provided by the platform."
"Sprinklr could be more drag-and-drop friendly."
"There could be more videos on how to use Sprinklr."
"Their support team should opt for phone calls over emails to resolve issues faster."
"The support system is a major drawback because there is no live chat system for immediate issue reporting, leading to delayed resolutions."
"My advice to others considering Sprout Social is that I believe it is a good platform to use temporarily for some clients, but it does not scale well for growth."
"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."
"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."
"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."
