Our team loves the ability to enter competitive handles and track performance across the landscape. The charts available have been very helpful to the clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Rival IQ? There really is nothing that I dislike about this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Rival IQ: Take a look at the tiered packages they offer when deciding what your client really needs. They offer a monthly fee instead of a full year, so this could be a way to sell it in to clients as a trial if they currently don't use any tools or are hesitant. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Rival IQ solving and how is that benefiting you? One of the biggest benefits that we have found is the ability of Rival IQ to use machine learning to identify which posts our competitors are likely boosting with paid dollars.

I like to be able to easily track my competitors social pages in an easy dashboard and set it up with the information I need. I also like that I can incorporate my FB ads manager into the platform to pull owned ad data in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Rival IQ? I would love to see more functionality with ads from competitors. I know this is not realistic but it would be nice is FB ever opened that up. Also engagement rates are calculated very different than the actual platforms making it difficult to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Rival IQ: If you're looking for any easy way to compare your social platforms against competitors or dig into specific companies for new business it's a great tool. Keep in mind it is only pooling what in on the social page and does not incorporate ad buys from competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DB Drew B. CEO Marketing and Advertising Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/3/2017 "Amazing product for aggregated digital and social analytics, monitoring, and reporting." 5/5 What do you like best about Rival IQ? Product functionality, roadmap, and continual updates to the platform. Their platform is incredibly robust and they are constantly rolling out new features, updates, and advanced reporting and analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Rival IQ? Rival IQ has built in some amazing integrations with social platforms. It's been tremendous to compare multiple accounts in aggregate and against competitors. Their original custom reports section was not very robust, but they have made big improvements lately that have made their custom reporting really great. My only feedback would be for continued work on custom reporting and dashboards, which I believe they are still working on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Rival IQ solving and how is that benefiting you? We use Rival IQ for competitive tracking and tracking our portfolio companies. Rival IQ made it easy for us to aggregate social and digital monitoring across multiple channels and companies into simple, easy reporting.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Robust for social analysis (both for your own client/website but for competitors too), but there's some pretty cool stuff in the "web" section. The alerts give you a list of the changes to your property or that your competitors have gone through, including updates to titles/descriptions, social bio updates, breakout social posts (ie highly engaged-with content), and another report even gives you a snapshot every week of a particular website so you can see changes over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Rival IQ? The SEO section is pulling in data from the SEMRush and Moz API's and if you already have access to these tools, it's not as helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Rival IQ: Rival IQ seems to do everything well, but doesn't specialize in one particular aspect of social media monitoring or anlaytics. If you're looking for a specific use case, you might want to go elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Rival IQ solving and how is that benefiting you? We needed a social analytics and listening tool that integrated insights for clients and their competitors. Rather than pull data from multiple sources, we can just visit the dashboard of Rival IQ.
