"Poor service - features rarely work correctly"
1.5/5
What do you like best about Brandwatch Social Media Management?

It doesn't often work very well at all, but when it does, it can be a useful tool for compiling reports for clients. For example, it lets us know the amount of followers we gained during a specific time period, which is helpful when working out the impact of a social giveaway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brandwatch Social Media Management?

I dislike the fact that it never works correctly - results are inaccurate month on month, and there is always one issue or another. It wastes our team time having to constantly contact support every single month. It's also not very easy to use, as I find that it constantly requires us to refresh channels. We use it frequently, monthly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Social Media Scheduling with Brandwatch, but LinkedIn Tagging Needs Improvement"
5/5
What do you like best about Brandwatch Social Media Management?

I have been using Brandwatch for years to post on my companies social media accounts. I love the calendar view to figure out the last busy days to post so that my posts don't get lost with other posts. I use it at least once a week to post. The platform is very easy to navigate and use, the best button is the copy and schedule so that i don't have to paste the same thing over and over! I have had to contact customer support before and they were fast and kind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brandwatch Social Media Management?

The only downsides of using Brandwatch to post on social media is when I go to post on LinkedIn I cannot tag people, just companies and sometimes even finding companies is hard. It's annoying that you have to use dashes where there is a space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Content Approval, but Brandwatch Needs More User-Friendly Features"
2/5
What do you like best about Brandwatch Social Media Management?

I like that we can send content for approval through an external link. This allows for seamless flow between our team and the client. The clients also seem to have an easy time approving content which has saved a lot of time and back and forth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brandwatch Social Media Management?

Most features on Brandwatch are not very intuitive or user-friendly. It seems doing anything takes multiple clicks, if that makes sense. Having to choose an individual channel every single time I am making a post when I am already viewing that specific channel's content on the calendar wastes a lot of time and has lead to more errors.

"Powerful Keyword Filtering and Useful Dashboards for Efficient Daily Work"
5/5
What do you like best about Brandwatch Social Media Management?

The way I can create a query with unlimited keywords and the same goes to how I can filter using keywords. Dashboard and visualization are also useful. Data segmentation is also useful and allows me to perform my daily tasks efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brandwatch Social Media Management?

Data coverage on TikTok. As TikTok has become more impactful, it'd be nice if the platform allows TikTok other channels tracking. Another thing that irritates me is it signed me out a bit too often. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlines Account Management, Needs Improvement on Media Handling"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Brandwatch Social Media Management?

I appreciate the ability of Brandwatch Social Media Management to effectively handle a large number of social media accounts, which is particularly beneficial in an agency environment where managing multiple client accounts is essential. The platform's capability to centralize account management in one place streamlines workflows, saving time and effort. I also value the scheduling feature, which allows content to be organized and approved ahead of time, enhancing planning efficiency and ensuring timely execution. Additionally, the ease with which content can be shared with clients for review significantly improves communication and collaboration, which is a major asset in maintaining client satisfaction and involvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brandwatch Social Media Management?

I find Brandwatch Social Media Management can be buggy, which affects its reliability. The crop feature is not great, and the software struggles to load videos efficiently, especially given its size limitations. The rescheduling process can be cumbersome, as it requires entering each individual post instead of allowing bulk rescheduling. Additionally, the inability to schedule 'X' threads or Instagram stories limits its functionality for comprehensive social media planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Centralized Asset and Engagement Management in One Place"
4/5
What do you like best about Brandwatch Social Media Management?

It offers one centralised spot to manage the many assets in our business suite. I am able to see comments and DMs to all our pages from one centralised location, and am able to monitor engagement seemlessly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brandwatch Social Media Management?

The apps are not very user friendly and need far more development to refine them. It is also difficult to schedule stories with links, polls, stickers etc via brandwatch and often this has to be done natively Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good Reporting, But Scheduling Falls Short"
1.5/5

Scheduling is very unreliable, and the initial setup wasn't easy at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
