DL Doug L. President Public Relations and Communications Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/5/2016 "Excellent social/digital analytics tool!" 5/5 What do you like best about Rival IQ? Benchmarking our clients' performance (we are a small digital agency) against their peers, competitors and others in their "landscape" is amazingly useful and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Rival IQ? I wish "self-reporting", meaning reporting on one client for that client, were easier and more comprehensive. You can isolate a client by tagging them (or others) but the whole concept of landscape falls apart in a one company profile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Rival IQ: Great for comparing one organization's digital presence against others. Not so great for one organization tracking its own progress against itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Rival IQ solving and how is that benefiting you? With RivalIQ we can show clients how they "stack up" on social/digital against their peers or competitors. This is certainly an important part of our strategic planning and counsel. Plus we can benchmark progress against our goals for the client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Social Media and Community Engagement Lead Non-Profit Organization Management Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 7/5/2016 "The best platform you've never heard of" 5/5 What do you like best about Rival IQ? RivalIQ gives us the chance to benchmark our social media efforts against our competitors. We're able to see what is working for our peers, who's doing what, and allows us to export our findings in workable form (powerpoint, pdf, etc), Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Rival IQ? Not much...I wish it would allow you to benchmark more than just social. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can easily see spikes in our competitors social networks and make a good guess as to what caused the spike and replicate on our channels. We are able to easily track growth across platforms, assigning value to certain campaigns in an efficient way. Tracking brands that have the same target audience as us allows us to really understand our customer interests outside our product offering. Then we get to promote similar lifestyle experiences and content, knowing that it will be appreciated by our followers. Since using Rival IQ we have grown our total social reach by more then 150%. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Rival IQ? There really isn't anything. The only thing I would want is to integrate a posting feature like Sprout Social so we can switch to using one single platform for posting, tracking, mulitplatform response and analytics. Adding in new platforms in the future will be critical - periscope / snapchat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Rival IQ: It will save you so much time aggregating data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PK Peter K. Marketing Strategist Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/24/2016 "Excellent for Competitor Research and Impressing Clients" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Rival IQ? Its value comes in its competitor research. You can easily see the campaigns they're running as well as their top posts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Rival IQ? The price unfortunately, the monthly price is steep for small companies. Also for this price, it feels more like an additional than a stand-alone product. There are some metrics and integrations I would like to see more of to show our clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Rival IQ: Use it for competitive research as well as hashtag research. Being able to search a custom date range is also helpful on the paid version. This is extremely helpful when pitching clients as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Rival IQ solving and how is that benefiting you?
