CrowdTangle allows me to see how our organization's Facebook and Instagram posts do compared to a wide competitive set. Based on that, we can make decisions about programming and social framing. Seeing what posts are "overperforming" has been an invaluable asset and gives important insight into what's working in our social media strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CrowdTangle? I wish CrowdTangle had a historic overview. I can see which posts have been overperforming over the past six hours, but I can't go back further than that. Sometimes the day is busy and I forget to look at how a specific post has done shortly after it posted; when I do remember to check, it's too late for me to know. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering CrowdTangle: I would recommend setting up your dashboard so that you can quickly see at a glance how competitors (or any other news organizations you track) are doing on Facebook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CrowdTangle solving and how is that benefiting you? CrowdTangle is an important competitive analysis tool that allows me to quickly get a broad overview of other news organizations' social posts and performance.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CrowdTangle? There aren't too many things that I dislike about CT.

It is so helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CrowdTangle solving and how is that benefiting you? I'm realizing more what content I should be sharing in the moment.

"Best data intelligence platform out there" 5/5 What do you like best about CrowdTangle? It practically takes all the backend data from facebook and other platforms and makes it visually appealing and easy for the user the search through it using OCR and other methods that are not usually accessible to everyone, these do help in Fact checking, trends analysis and other matters related to data intelligence, no other platform has similar features. Filtering options and the intelligence sections is quite intuitive in terms of you will find what you are looking for defiantly, the pre made lists by the platform makes your life easier to know mode in specific about media outlets, governmental and other lists that are pre made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CrowdTangle? I can get bit complicated with all the features and data, specially the huge number that you will get. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering CrowdTangle: There is tons of platforms out there that does somehow the similar matters, but crowdtangle is unique and it's features and access to information cannot be replicated, hence I only recommend crowdtangle over others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CrowdTangle solving and how is that benefiting you? Trends analysis, fact checking and rumors tackling. We use the platform to assure our findings in terms of rumors tracking, fact checking and trends analysis with influencers and the depth of reach of a certain rumor, in which all the results are done in seconds without any delay, with an exportable file for sentiment analysis and other means of analysis.

I mostly use the platform for the Intelligence tool for weekly/monthly recaps across Facebook and Instagram. It's a great tool for seeing top performers and trends over time.

I find the Intelligence dashboard easy to use with a pretty seamless interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CrowdTangle? Beyond just engagement data like comments, shares, video views etc, I wish there was a way to see traffic data as well. It would be helpful if there was a "link clicks" tab that was tied to Google Analytics that would give some topline sessions data across social platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering CrowdTangle: Crowdtangle offers a quick and easy way to monitor not only your social platforms, but others as well giving you a pulse inside the industry on social.

Social Media Coordinator Public Relations and Communications Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/11/2021 "Great tool for competitor tracking and analysis" 5/5 What do you like best about CrowdTangle?

I like the filtering options, and I also like that you can find content as it is gaining popularity. I also like that it is now free! That was not the case when I began using it at Curiosity.com. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CrowdTangle? The downside for me is that it took a while to understand to be able to use in a really meaningful way. The platform allows for such deep research that is very helpful to a niche user, but it took me some time to be able to utilize in that way and I felt I was just scraping the surface of content. The dashboard can be a little intimidating as well and just a little confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CrowdTangle solving and how is that benefiting you? I am solving problems like finding trending content without having to spend hours looking through Twitter or landing upon trending content just by accident. That is a big problem for me as a social media manager --- I spend so much time of my day scrolling through feeds to try to get a feel for what is happening, but CrowdTangle takes the time out of that and shows me the upcoming popular content that is most relevant to me and my industry. The benefit is that it saves me time and helps me find content I would not have otherwise found. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 12/30/2020 "CrowdTangle is the all in one trend and virality checker tool made ever" 5/5 What do you like best about CrowdTangle? The best thing which I like is the Competitor comparisons and real time trend which it provides with option to filter by language, location, and category of your own choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about CrowdTangle? The priority thing that CrowdTangle should solve is to focus on filtered results in languages other than English. The language based results other than English are not relevant and should be addressed on priority. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is CrowdTangle solving and how is that benefiting you? Daily trend checking and weekly/monthly competition tracking are few things that is solving our problem on regular basis.
