Percolate

Avantages

The most interesting thing is that you can find in this platform all in one, it allows you to optimize time and efforts. One of the great tasks that we have who dedicate ourselves to digital commerce is to give the time, this platform allows to carry with each client a concrete strategy that offers results in a short time.

Inconvénients

That they do not finish saying if the price is high, it is medium or it is low, in the best of scenarios, that it is free. For now it is by invitation, we hope that in the coming months they offer it without major limitations, they could include a free version and another pay, that way, in a short time it could surprise the market.

Avantages

First of all I would like to note that working with monthly calendar and assets in Percolate is more comfortable than in Excel, as it was before. Also it is much more easier to download assets from Percolate than via we transfer, as I can download them whenever I want, I can see updates and changes immediately. It's really very cool.
Also last year I suggested to put an icon for each social network somewhere on the side panel and you can see changes, comments of users and etc. by clicking on the icon of Facebook, Instagram or Twitter. I mean that each network will be separated from others. And it was accepted by your side, i really appreciated it. I wish you good luck in future. =)

Inconvénients

Actually i have one.
I would like to suggest you to add, search panel in percolate.
Let me explain why:

There are many pictures are posted every day. But when I want to find and check pictures posted by our(I mean Azerbaijan) malls, bloggers or users, I should scroll all that day to find out what I want. Sometimes I miss the comments or new publications.
It is really uncomfortable. And that is why I suggest you to add search panel on Instagram page in Percolate.

For example:
If I want to monitor Port Baku Mall's page, I write the name of the page in the search panel and immediately see all posts, check the comments and etc.
It will be better than monitoring general posts (from other countries, users, pages) all day.

If you want I can send you a presentation. Thank you in advance.

Avantages

I like the calendar view of creative work that's been scheduled and that its publishing automation. It's nice that it has an AEM, but I don't find that very necessary for my particular work.

Inconvénients

I hate that when a piece has missed its publishing time, it vanishes from the calendar. You cannot use the tagging feature on Facebook due to privacy issues, but that really slows down my work. Cannot add video captions in percolate, must do natively in social/other platforms individually. Does not publish to all social channels, e.g. Instagram. They don't seem to make changes quickly enough to keep up with the industries they serve.

Avantages

Collaboration capabilities and how it allows you to work how you want - via email response, mobile or in platform comment thread, centralized planning, and modern UX.

Inconvénients

No software will fit each organization's needs perfectly - there are always small items that we have to have manual workarounds for - like collab outside of tool for business SMEs. Social platform APIs dictate/limit some of the functionality Percolate can provide. I don't think the mobile option is totally there or intuitive for a number of functions.

Avantages

I loved the fact that you could schedule Instagram posts using the platform. It was also easy to use and made it easy to sign on to the platform and work in it without doing extensive training beforehand. It is also a great organization tool for content.

Inconvénients

The platform was a little buggy at times and sometimes posts were published incorrectly on Instagram specifically.

Avantages

Ability to see multiple streams in one window is a huge plus.

Inconvénients

overall user interface seems a little more complicated than it should be.

Avantages

Synchronized tool to handle multiple social handles, track keywords, and build community through engagements, and analyze social media performance.

Inconvénients

Content asset handling, like images and videos, need to maintained and handled better.

Avantages

The asset manager! Also being able to visually see all of the posts are amazing. It keeps me up to date on planning.

Inconvénients

Issues of use sometimes . Often has issues that need to be fixed. When it comes to loading assets or reloading the page it goes very slow!

Avantages

We can have all the photos of Guess at one place, so we can share everything.
It is very easy to use

Inconvénients

Our asset managment is not loading fast, I have severall problems this week. It only load like 25 photos and then stop the scrolling down.

Avantages

The collaboration features and keeping info in one central place.

Inconvénients

Uploading video files can be slow. Disappointed that it doesn't support all files types as we were told. Would be great if you could export to Excel or Word or PowerPoint files. Also the calendar needs a quarterly and annual view.

Avantages

having all platforms on one screen at my fingertips and the ability to switch brands quickly and easily

Inconvénients

occasional lags in refreshing but is usually fixed quickly without causing too much loss of time and slowing down production.

Avantages

I like that I can comment to the producer in Percolate and not have to email them directly. This is very helpful in saving time in communicating wit the teams that I work with

Inconvénients

That I can not approve a page for publishing. I need to go to each link individually. If I were able to approve a day of the month in it's entirety then that would make my job a little faster.

Avantages

I like the direct links to documents that you get from suppliers when you are working on projects, makes it easy

Inconvénients

I don't like the fact that we have one asset library. I think project should have their own libraries or rather teams should have different libraries which then makes it easy to find things

Avantages

The system was simple and easy to follow. That's about it.

Inconvénients

The design and UI/UX was not well-thought out for project managing larger campaigns. It's easy for simple projects, but for a business organization, not so much. They didn't offer much for robust functionality.

Avantages

I enjoy using this product for our social media purposes because of the flexibility across different platform.

Inconvénients

Onboard training is intensive, but that's just due to all the features. Recommend spending multiple sessions to get comfortable with the product.

Avantages

Organized way to document activity, streamlined process, great way of keeping track of all field work

Inconvénients

With the update, sometimes I have to type things more than once because they do not save automatically

Avantages

It's capabilities to help organize contents to improve brands visibility and also following is topnotch. I enjoyed using all its features

Inconvénients

It's interface can also be improved and that's all I can see as a challenge for now

Avantages

Very easy. Helpful support. I have started to use it for approval of FB posts, now I became an administrator checking global campaigns.

Inconvénients

Eg. the approval workflow was changed (accidently) and the posts that were already waited for approval could not be changed to the modified approval workflow.

Avantages

Flows and tools are robust and therefore very helpful for large organizations with multiple products or channels.

Inconvénients

Tool is large and robust, therefore be careful about onboarding without certainty that you will go into or need all the bells and whistles. Too many tools and dependencies can result in inefficiencies in task completing and time spent.
