What do you like best about AddThis?

We used AddThis for years without an issue until we lost years of likes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AddThis?

AddThis have damaged our social proof and our site ranking.

Our website has lost hundreds of likes for our blog posts since September. At first, AddThis staff told our company they would need 4 weeks to resolve the issue. We patiently waited 4 weeks, contacted them again, and they said it was taking longer than usual. Every few weeks we email AddThis support and each time they had the same response. We are working on it. Two weeks ago they responded saying they would reach out to Facebook about their endpoint issue. I have since spoken to other companies having the same issue.

We built those likes over a decade with our hard-earned marketing $ and writing efforts and the AddThis social buttons have cost us dearly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AddThis solving and how is that benefiting you?

As above. It was good for social like buttons until we lost them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AddThis?

It's simple to setup and its dashboard provides a lot of insights. The easier and nicest way I found to let my visitors share our content and follow our social networks. And it's free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AddThis?

That's not my case but in some sites the buttons cover parts of the website, disturbing the navigation. Most of the times I think the fault is on the site itself but I'm not sure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AddThis solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having a useful floating social sharing tool and follow button on all of my pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AddThis?

That it can easily be incorporated into your website. I like the analytics very much. I like being able to let people share what they see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AddThis?

That you cannot control the layout of the text better, or the size of the banners. I wish there were more background images offered instead of the young and hip. I wish that you could time the banner to close after a few seconds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AddThis:

Easy to use and implement right away Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AddThis solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to see what is popular with customers, and work with the landing page to optimize it if there are no sales, but lots of visibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AddThis?

Very easy to use and to embed the code on my website. Like how you don't have to continually re embed the code, but it automatically changes on your website as you change it in the admin panel. Saves a lot of time and frustration! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AddThis?

Nothing, enjoy the software and all of its features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AddThis?

The widget is a powerful tool, it allows me to analyze data from social sharing and cross my campaigns, allowing me to know if my actions are reaching the segments I'm looking for. On top of that it is easy to use and allows you to make it available to the team. Great for UX teams and marketing people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AddThis?

The only problem is that in the free version removes some tools that could be released with some restrictions, as is the case of button customization. But at no time is this a problem for the use of other free-to-use tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AddThis solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of the problems solved was the constant creation (and maintenance) of new tools for sharing analysis. Also, with the AddThis I can cross-mine my data with Google's campaigns, effectively showing my content as well as email marketing campaigns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AddThis?

I liked their pitch. their data seemed to be strong based on where their pixels are placed and how many sites they are collecting data from. I like their ability to run the data the collect in a self service capacity . their merge should help with some improvements down the road. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AddThis?

performance was not strong and the sales rep was CREEPY. performance on the data did not hold up to their promise. the set up was not easy and extremely delayed. Had syncing issues between DSP and Add This. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AddThis:

After getting acquired, they gave up. Add this does not have a strong self service platform and i need to rely on sales reps to build segments correctly . I had problems syncing their data to dsps as it took way longer than i had expected it to take based on how long competitors take to both build pools of audiences and port them over to a DSP on behalf of my client. Find less sketchy sales reps who are familiar with data as an industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AddThis solving and how is that benefiting you?

i am looking for stronger data to target newer users in their platform. Fresh data allows us to target the most appropriately and give the most relevant ads and also collect the most relevant users bases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
