Dynamic Signal is a great tool if you're looking to start an employee advocacy program. We used DS to roll out our program internationally with no issues, We were able to set up separate leaderboards, streams, accounts, etc and easily manage the program in one place. The interface is easy to navigate as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not much to dislike as the platform pretty much had everything we needed to run our Employee Advocacy program with little upkeep. As with any technology we'd sometimes run into little bugs like keeping some feeds connected, but nothing major. I'd say the biggest challenge in running an advocacy program is getting the teams excited to share information and to really adopt the program and its goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the ability to send broadcasts to our user base, and the ease of use on the user side isn't too bad. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Images regularly don't work with users share to LinkedIn and Twitter. We've pointed this out to Dynamic Signal several times. Sometimes they blame it on us, other times it's a "known issue" that they're troubleshooting, but they haven't followed up as promised. And their pricing has drastically increased since we last signed a contract with them, making renewal a tough sell, especially with known issues that impact functionality.

Dynamic Signal makes it really easy to share the content that our marketing and other teams produce. It's an easy reminder and a 3 click process to help spread the awesome content that our team creates. The tool makes it really quick to find content relevant to my network as well as share the daily blog or whatever our marketing team is looking to push to social on a certain day.

Not much, I basically use it to find content my company wants us to post- it's fairly straight forward. It's not super easy to tag people on LinkedIn/Facebook- that could be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Intuitive for both users (setup and general use) and the account managers loading content/managing the tool. Most users haven't had to come back to marketing with questions on how to use the product since implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Reporting capabilities are definitely there, but not as user-friendly as I'd like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Love how intuitive the tool is for Content Managers and Members. Creating posts is incredibly easy, pulling reports gets easier as you become more familiar with the tool, and sharing content is simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not a fan of the customer success team. When new features of the tool are released, we have to discover them on our own and reach out to our rep who then tells us more about the feature. Instead of being proactive about how a new feature will affect our social strategy, the team is reactive to our initiation of a conversation. Big feature upgrades affect our strategy and workload immensely, and valuable time on projects have been lost because of mistakes made from our rep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With it's ability to update team with regular content to post on social media it helped letting so many people about us via trusted friends and resulted in good number of leads. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We used it for a the dedicated purpose mentioned above and didn't go in depth about, so I can't think of any disadvantages! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easiest way for employees to share content & helpful in boosting our brand's presence on line. We actually track traffic coming from our Dynamic Signal posts and can attributes major press hits, website traffic, and leaders to content shared vi the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While it's been very positive, there is also a lot of room for improvement. I think the user interface for users and administrators could be simplified and improved. I'd love data within the app to be better so we can drill in better to details regarding content, users, and impact over time. We also think the webapp is much better than the mobile app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Like that I am able to send out content to my LinkedIn and Twitter all in one centralized area. Also, love how it keeps points and compares to others in my company. Gets competitive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Really nothing. I do wish it could just push all content that's uploaded without me telling it to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The alert system that is built into Dynamic Signal is awesome. I am alerted via email, mobile, and Slack about any particular post that needs to be shared. This feature allows me to share at basically any time that the request is sent out. I like the main feed view of the platform also, it is very easy to see all of the posts in an easy view, with pictures and copy. Another amazing feature is that my administrator can set text that includes hashtags and the ability to tag people. A lot of my posts would go out without copy if it hadn't been pre-populated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't really dislike much about DS. The only problems I have had are that it constantly logs me out of the system and that it loses connection with some of my social accounts and then has to be reconnected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Compared to our internal sharing methods that we replaced with DynamicSignal, it is significantly less time consuming and we are seeing far better results. The addition of a leaderboard has really motivated employees Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The mobile version is not very admin friendly, and I don't love that suggested share text has to be Twitter friendly because it really limits you. Sometimes the on boarding emails go into employee's spam, which just requires a little more effort from the admin to get them all signed up, but I think that is probably an issue with our email settings and not Dynamic Signal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I liked the ease of use for sharing content out to your social channels but also that you are able to customize your copy to reflect your own opinion or learnings that you found interesting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I disliked that when I wanted to customize my copy for different channels (Twitter or LinkedIn), it always automated to copy to Twitter and I would lose my pre-written copy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the fact this simplifies sharing articles across multiple social platforms. It saves a lot of time by having everything in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am not too sure what the point system means but its not really a dislike. The point system just shows to our managers what activity we are having outside of calling, and emailing. So it really just makes my activity as a sales represent easily trackable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Support for multiple platforms (mobile, PC)
Easy to post/share articles using smartphone or desktop/laptop Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Mediocre documentation (aesthetically pleasing, not very comprehensive)
Lackluster customer success - they provide very limited support and are more interested in sales
Reports don't really provide much information to help me make better decisions
Limited integration with third party products Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Dynamic Signal is an easy to use platform to promote posts, article and news within an organization and utilize the power of employee's social networks to spread news. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The tool was slightly more complicated when connecting Company-profiles, but very easy and straightfoward to connect individual networks Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love the leader board and the push alerts. It's so intuitive that I think adoption across a large enterprise would be easy to accomplish. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Dynamic Signal is quite pricey but I personally think well worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This platform is highly customizable and great for managing a large, diverse group. Different audience group, different content streams, different contact settings - all of these features allow for managing a large program while keeping content delivery and reporting nimble. The reporting features are also very robust. In fact, they are the most developed I've seen in a program management platform. The account team for our platform was wonderful, answering every question and helping to upload items to the site. The account team assigned to us even provided access to a BaseCamp site that had step-by-step instructions for launching the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The backend on the site in complicated, I had to rely a lot on customer support to help upload items and answer question. A small item, but the disclosure hashtag setting is not customizable across platforms and streams. Users also complained that the WIndows app was buggy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Dynamic Signal makes it easy to promote social posts about your organization, which in turn helps drive awareness of your company's brand and news. In most organizations, the most social savvy folks usually reside in marketing, and after that perhaps a few sales reps looking to be thought leaders, and HR looking for new talent. Beyond these departments social sharing seems to be less commonplace. Dynamic signal gives everyone tan easy to use way to socially share like a pro. New job postings? Check. Thought leadership articles? Check. Company news? Check. Everyone from the CEO to the admins can represent your company in with style and grace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There should be a better way to gamify the system. While it has point levels, there doesn't appear to be a well though out way to control or use them. If you were to say "whoever has the most points at the end of the quarter wins X" people could just rapidly share the same post spamming their networks to win. This would be abrasive and pain a bad picture about your company. It would be great if some thought was put into this part of the product to see how to make it more usable for incentives.

Dynamic Signal makes it easy for employees to share out company news in just a few clicks. Employees can choose to share via a web browser or a really slick mobile app. I personally like the mobile app as I do my sharing on my morning commute. The ability to smart schedule is great as Dynamic Signal will automagically share you post on LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook at the most impactful time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Really hard to think of something as Dynamic Signal is really awesome. Ok, here's a couple... Would be good to have a bit more granular control over which specific posts get pushed out to which specific employees. Would be good to add other social channels like Reddit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It makes it easy to link individual social media accounts in order to share corporate news with the click of one button. I love how Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn are all right there on the same page, and the social shares can be tailored to each medium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes I have to re-type my credentials for each social media account. This is really not a big deal, however. Would be nice to see other avenues added, like Instagram. Or maybe that's available but it's not one that our company uses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For users, it's incredibly user-friendly. I'm not an administrator, so I can't say how easy it is for admins to upload the content. I also like the gamification component. I'm competitive, so I like to see my ranking compared to everyone else - not sure if it encourages me to share more, but I like to know where I stand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One of our primary reasons for getting Dynamic Signal was to encourage more employees to share content more frequently. It doesn't incentivize sharing. This could be how our company uses the platform, but I can't say for sure as a user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to share company news easily and shareable with the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some of the customization is hard to handle and setting up different messages for specific channels should be an easier option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
