What is Brandwatch?

Brandwatch (combined with Falcon.io) is a digital consumer intelligence company, allowing users to analyze and utilize conversations from across the web and social media. With official access to Twitter, Reddit, and Tumblr's firehose, plus data coming from 100 million other sites, Brandwatch's historical archive includes over a trillion conversations, with 501 million new ones added every day. The platform then combines queries and AI to help you parse and analyze the data that's useful to you. From there it can be chopped, sliced, and combined to find insights you can put into action.

"Effective management tool for social media"

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Brandwatch from other similar products?

Falcon.io is better than other programs because it has many features, it also has good support.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It's a breeze to schedule, and I like the calendar view and the ability to swiftly and easily report. New channels may be added much more quickly and easily here than on other platforms.

What do you dislike most about this product?

While copying and pasting content from Facebook to Instagram, the formatting is clumsy, and you'll often have to save and reopen the post in order to make any changes you'd want. Annoying. Post failures are really frustrating since there seems no other explanation for it other than Falcon being unable to post.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

What you are willing to invest is mostly determined by the size of your company. Falcon is without a doubt the greatest scheduler program we've ever used.

Pros

  • Trustworthy
  • Unique Features
  • Efficient Service
  • Effective Service

Great social media publishing and scheduling app

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Brandwatch from other similar products?

other programs are very difficult to use while this program is easier to use.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Aside from scheduling posts, which you can do with any social media management platform, Falcon does a great job of letting you communicate internally with different departments, such as customer service, so that you can do a better job with the engagement part of social media. You can assign comments or messages, leave notes for your coworkers, and have all of your communications within the platform. This makes things run more smoothly and makes customers happier.

What do you dislike most about this product?

If you want to schedule the same post for more than one channel, you can't just click boxes. Instead, you only have to make one post and share it on all of the other channels.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

By a long shot, this is the best SM Mgt platform I've ever used.

Pros

  • Enables Productivity
  • Unique Features
  • Efficient Service
  • Effective Service

Dependable social tool without too many frills

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Brandwatch from other similar products?

Compared to other social management tools I've used, Faclon.io had much fewer "hiccups" like accounts becoming disconnected or posts not publishing properly. It was easily one of the most dependable tools I've used.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The social publishing tool made it easy for team members to collaborate and approve content before it goes out.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I don't have any complaints about Falcon.io

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Falcon.io is still similar to many of the social tools on the market so be sure to compare the small differences before choosing the one that's right for you. If you're just looking for reliable publishing and basic listening capabilities, Falcon.io could be great for you.

Pros

  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Performance Enhancing
  • Trustworthy
