Sprout

Avantages

The Sprout service appeared later than most of the social networking services on this list. Nevertheless, Sprout Social is firmly ranked among the best. For example, it’s great that you can create a schedule for sending messages (a great feature for everyone who works a lot with social networks). You can track and measure trend metrics in real time. This will help you find new topics of interest to your readers.
Sprout has a knowledge base with a selection of frequently asked questions and video tutorials with which you can unleash the full potential of this service.
There is also an online chat, which can be found in the settings (gear icon) if you are authorized.
Finally, technical support can be contacted by email. In addition, you can call - the American number is listed at the bottom of the site.

Also, one more bonus, within 30 days you can work with any tariff for free - you don’t even have to indicate your payment card details when registering! This is ideal for anyone who is serious about their security or just afraid that they will forget to cancel their subscription after 30 days.

Inconvénients

If you are planning to start the working week with bulk message downloads, Sprout will greatly disappoint you: you can add only one message at a time.
If you intend to use the service as a tool for managing accounts on social networks, then the prices will seem quite high to you. However, companies and more advanced users will be able to access a number of rare functions - for example, the ability to track specific keywords, locations and profiles, as well as the CRM function, which will allow you to better know customers.

Avantages

I really like how it automatically gives you competitive analysis reports.

Inconvénients

I don’t love the cost but I think it is reasonable for the features.

Pourquoi passer à Sprout

Avantages

Ease of use and clear to track and share information.

Inconvénients

Not as visually impressive as some other applications.

Avantages

Sprout Social is my favorite social media software because it goes in depth with analytics, you can customize your social posts, you can easily organize your campaigns, and it allows you to really dig into your audiences.

Inconvénients

Like I mentioned, there is a lot of custom options within Sprout Social, therefore, it can be a little overwhelming to learn the software. There are many moving parts with the analytics dashboard, so having previous analytics experience is important.

Avantages

I love the Sprout software - it has multi-purposes, is easy to use, and a necessary part of our marketing team to do our job.

Inconvénients

I wish Sprout offered more analytical data for us to dive into.

Pourquoi passer à Sprout

Avantages

The software has focused on the Philippine HR Market. The software is also easy to use and can be customized to fit the specific needs of the company.

Inconvénients

The system has limited capacity in the processes outside the Philippine market which makes this not an ideal solution for multi national companies that has operations in multiple countries.

Avantages

We have always valued the feedback we receive from our customers, but we’ve never had a solid method of gathering and analyzing that information. Sprout helped us on that front and in turn we felt a better connection to our customers.

Inconvénients

I wish there was the ability to offer greater customization or integration with some of our legacy databases.

Avantages

I appreciate that this app allows you to view attendance logs, check your pay stubs, and clock in and out at any time. It also provides paperless storage for personnel profiles and reports.

Inconvénients

Login issues occur on sometimes, but they are minor. The software continues to function properly and serves its intended purpose.

Avantages

The ease of use of the platform was awesome, and it allowed for diverse campaigns.

Inconvénients

We often did not receive the campaigns that we sent and through several campaigns we tried to see if our customers were actually getting the messages by offering free retail-sized products and never got any traction. We also never saw any enhanced traffic after campaigns in store or online. This is something we see often with our email campaigns which are handled through a different platform.

Avantages

I've had a great experience with Sprout. Keeping track of my health and exercising has helped me improve my overall wellbeing.

Inconvénients

There is nothing wrong with Sprout, but sometimes notifications take a while to appear on the platform.

Avantages

What I like most about it is that I can log in to my work using just a mobile phone.

Inconvénients

What I like least about it is that I have to refresh the app to see if I logged in properly.

Avantages

It's another tool that allows you to track employee process without being overwhelmed with having to note employee improvements.

Inconvénients

It took some time to get use to, but was very effective

Avantages

You can actually use this to track your own hours. As an employee in a company who uses sprout for HR solutions I think it is much effective to see your attendance and it is already all in one since your leaves can be requested there and there is so much more to offer such as the payslips, schedule adjustments and more!

Inconvénients

Well, since I used it in schedule adjustment before it almost did not worked out for me since I had an adjustment on the same day but good thing that my manager can overdrive it to his own sprout account to adjust the schedule. But of course it will be great if we also have an access to one so that we can send screenshots for the request.

Avantages

It makes managing a social media presence easy. Everything from planning social posts, scheduling posts, reporting, and more are included in this platform.

Inconvénients

There can be issues with data not being correct in reporting at times, and there are some features you can't get in sprout that are available on social platforms.

Avantages

We use Sprout in the office for filing of leaves and to see our payslip monthly! This is a very helpful tool for HR in the company!

Inconvénients

Honestly speaking, there's no such thing as least important in this software. Just please continue the updates for future purposes!

Avantages

Easy to navigate and they train people before onboarding

Inconvénients

Limited feature and the use interface is so-so

Avantages

Sprout goes beyond regular social management – the thing that really makes it stand out is the reporting side of things. They have a massive amount of pre-created reports, with tons of data available.

Inconvénients

I feel like there is a lot of down time and glitches. I've had social disappear, or scheduled social go out without links.

Avantages

The design of Sprout is simplistic and aesthetically pleasing. It does an excellent job at gathering analytics for sending social reports to clients. It is also great for fulfillment of content services for social.

Inconvénients

The PRICE. Sprout is a great tool but I would not say that it is necessarily the best. It is robust but there are plenty of other options for businesses that would not break the bank. If you have a large company and can afford the hefty price tag that comes with sprout, then by all means do so. If you're a small business owner or a company with less than thirty employees I recommend you try something else before settling on this software.

Avantages

- The gamification mechanisms were really useful in getting mass adoption in my org, made it fun too

- Considering the price point, I'd say it has quite a rich value proposition set, everything from exercise regimes to diet , quite impressive

Inconvénients

- The mobile app seems to be out of sync sometime with the other platforms, could cause some confusion on progress made when they don't correlate

- Some terminology and categories can be consuming to navigate, which is understandable considering their rich feature set, but i feel it could be a bit less ambiguous sometimes

Avantages

What I like most about Sprout is that it gives me the option to update my daily routines such as steps that I take, how many glass of water, daily journal, walking, running, etc.

Inconvénients

I do not have dislikes about Sprout so far.

Avantages

Sprout has been a very user friendly program with easy to navigate tabs on both the desktop and mobile app. The ease of tracking on a daily basis helps to keep my wellness goals in check. Their Custom Service support team is always very prompt and very helpful and by far one of the best I have dealt with.

Inconvénients

The mobile app sometimes has little glitches but they are always on top of it and have the issue fixed very promptly.

Avantages

It really gives you a big picture overview of how to live and track your healthy lifestyle

Inconvénients

Nothing at this time. I have very happy with this product

Avantages

Many companies have instituted wellness programs that have focused either solely or primarily on their employees physical health. After all, a physically healthy employee is more likely to show up to work on time. A physically healthy employee is more likely to not call off. A physically healthy employee typically spends less time at the doctor's office or emergency room for personal visits. But the physical health of a person is but a mere portion of what represents total body health. SPROUT has designed a program that both promotes and rewards mental, spiritual, and emotional health equally with physical health. Not everyone can run a marathon, or even want to run a marathon, but recognizing that rigorous housework is also exercise helps the participants feel involved. This platform helps you to focus on your entire health, not just one segment. Meditation and deep breathing, making healthy meal choices, taking time for yourself with a hobby, or volunteering your time......all of these help comprise the overall health of a person.

Inconvénients

After hearing the issues that were had by my fellow associates with the updated app, I chose to stay with my original app. I would be nice if a video or multiple images could be uploaded to one post.

Avantages

Ease of use and everyday Motivational factors

Inconvénients

There is nothing about Sprout that i do not like

Avantages

The program has made me more aware of exercise , health and wellness. It makes a big difference is keeping on course if you are able to track your accomplishments.

Inconvénients

I was not sure what the areas of "live" and "flow" really pertained to. I was able to get some printed material explaining what the categories meant and how to acquire points for same. That was helpful.
I was not able to pair my Fit bit with my phone to make that step easier.
