ActionSprout Reviews & Product Details

ActionSprout was intended for cause-based organizations to be able to be successful through social media. ActionSprout was a unique niche in a platform that helped nonprofits with social media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike most about ActionSprout is that it could not sustain the changes and challenges that happen with social media and is no longer available for use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple & efficient, great for beginners. This is perfect for someone without lots of time to spend managing Facebook, and it keeps it looking professional even when I don't always have the professional eye. I love that it tells me my highest performing posts and suggests when to use them again. The metrics for data and engagement and reach are so informative and are vital for a nonprofit.

Can only control Facebook, no other apps. I wish I had the same platform for Instagram or Twitter, but for now we're able to reach a large audience on Facebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Able to utilize more than one social media at a time. I did not have to log in to multiple accounts to publish images or information, could all be accessed together. My favorite component to this software was the ability to save & schedule posts for a later time. The feedback was very effective, learning why a post received more or less views.

This program is user friendly however customer service could be more helpful. Sometimes concerns /questions had taken awhile to be resolved. But with the advanced options I was able to resolve most issues through the trouble shoot option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Love the ability to create actions native to Facebook, so people don't have to be sent outside Facebook to do things like make a phone call, sign a petition, RSVP to an event, etc. Unlike Facebook's Events, you can download info on who RSVP'd really easily.

Also love the ability to track ally organizations and see what of their content is performing well, so we can amplify it by sharing on our channels. Ability to track performance of our own content as useful too, but there isn't as much in terms of reporting as we would like for that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kind of pricey, and if you aren't using it for the actions, it probably isn't worth it.

If you want to have your followers take action on social media, it's one of the easiest plug and play options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to use and very easy to get others to use - especially Facebook frame feature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Requires a lot of troubleshooting on the behalf of the organizer, so maybe not the most intuitive for people who aren't good at computers, would stick to using ActionSprout for younger organizations and audiences Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to quickly see what performs best and report on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Formatting can be a little clunky. 10/10 otherwise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Take action Is Easy to use and navigate Through. You can use it on any device or computer. It makes life easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a lot of information to go through so it might be a downfall for some. Also the pictures on the screen are limited to for our the visual learners. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ActionSprout is aimed at non-profits. It makes it easy to curate and post content to your Facebook pages. If you have just been thrown into the social media pool, this is a good way to learn to dog paddle. Scheduling and posting become very easy tasks, something you can get done on Monday for the rest of the week. Best of all for non-profits, basic functionality is FREE! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It only allows you to post what others have posted. Creating original posts is in the works, I understand, but for now, it's basically you promoting other people/organization's posts. Which of course can lead to synergy if you have non-profit partners in your list. But you still have to manually post stuff you created that you want to "go viral".

The actionsprout team is incredibly responsive and offers tons of free wisdom and advice. Tons of functionality for things like sign-ups, petitions, contests, donations, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of what you can do in Actionsprout you can do better in Facebook - asking for donations is a good example. Their default notification emails are also over-the-top. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the Sproutlet feature. We like to curate for our audience, but we also want to make it easy for them to take action. With the Sproutlet tool, you can make almost any link on the web actionable while still adding value by curating content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish the tagging feature worked better in the Inspiration section. I want to keep an eye out for the highest-performing content on Upworthy's page for instance, but only as it relates to climate change and the environment. I thought I could do that, but the functionality isn't great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
