Great tool for Social Media Research **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Judah M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 30, 2023 **What do you like best about Sherlock?** Very good at finding and verifying user handles on social media pages. I like that it allows loading the data from JSON objects both locally or from online sources **What do you dislike about Sherlock?** Python 3.6 is required, but that is not a problem because of the features it offers. The main issue is that there is no GUI for it, so many people won't really use or enjoy the features Sherlock "investigates" Since it's open source maybe one day we can all join in and build one for those that fear the terminal. **What problems is Sherlock solving and how is that benefiting you?** Verifying and validating data online for research work and personal curiosity. ### 2. Sherlock Score Review **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Freddy A. | CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2022 **What do you like best about Sherlock?** Sherlock allows you to manage your Segment data into "groups" or "companies". If you are a B2B SaaS, this is perfect to analyze in both ways: users and companies. Alerts give you the right information in the right moment. For example: Know the moment when an account is getting cold, is perfect to avoid a future churn. **What do you dislike about Sherlock?** Sherlock has delay showing your data. It is not in real time and this could create some bias if you don't validate if your data is updated. Also, Sherlock does not have date filters **Recommendations to others considering Sherlock:** Sherlock allow you to manage your Segment data into "groups" or "companies". If you are a B2B SaaS, this is perfect to analyze in both ways: users and companies. Sherlock has a lot of tools to understand your users, for example: You can score your users and accounts based on weight of your transactions. Using their alerts allow you to be updated with customer behaviour. It is so important to know when a user is going to cold user, because this is the right moment to take action. On another way, knowing the right moment when a user get activated and what transactions are key to replicate to another. **What problems is Sherlock solving and how is that benefiting you?** Analyzing customer behavior, creating a segments of users, scoring them. One of the best features is that Sherlock allow you to measure into accounts and users. This has a big benefit if you are a B2B SaaS ### 3. Sherlock "A tool that hunt usernames from Social Network" **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nikhil K. | web application security researcher, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2022 **What do you like best about Sherlock?** Best thing is that it's an open source tool for hunting social media for usernames.It supports Mac, windows and Linux operating system.This will work only with Python 3.6 and higher only.So to run this command line tool you need Python 3.6 or higher must be installed. **What do you dislike about Sherlock?** As this is terminal based command line tool only and there is no GUI, so it is less attractive and little bit difficult to use.If lower version of python is installed it will not work. **Recommendations to others considering Sherlock:** Very much recommending to others **What problems is Sherlock solving and how is that benefiting you?** During the Vulnerability assessment and username enumeration we are using this tool,and as this is open source tool so only required permission from stack holder for use this tool. ### 4. Great Tool for User and Account insights for SAAS businesses **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 23, 2020 **What do you like best about Sherlock?** I like that we can set up scoring profiles very quickly based on existing events and properties for BOTH Accounts and Users. The other awesome addition is that it handles Account and User activation separately. **What do you dislike about Sherlock?** They are adding features quickly based on feedback so when we have any issue usually they solve it in a reasonable time frame. **What problems is Sherlock solving and how is that benefiting you?** We have a stack with Appcues / Hubspot and we had issues to identify the different user segments in a consistent way. Now we can set up the profile in Sherlock and all tools using the same profiles and segments. ### 5. Must-have insights for a SaaS business **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Wijnand M. | Member Taskforce Search, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2019 **What do you like best about Sherlock?** Having an at-a-glance overview of both account and user-based engagement with a smart scoring system (that you can influence), and also having these insights when it comes to activation and product adoption. Also loving their brand new Sherlock stories feature. Also loving the Intercom connection. **What do you dislike about Sherlock?** We still have to set up the alerts part of Sherlock, so it's mostly up to us to get more out of this feature, but it would be great to have some default alerts ready there that you can customize, so it's less work. They have a Salesforce connection, but as we use Zendesk Sell as CRM, we would obviously to have a connection for our CRM as well. **What problems is Sherlock solving and how is that benefiting you?** Keeping track of the activation of our trial accounts and the engagement of our customers. ### 6.

And I love the direction they are going with Sherlock. **What do you dislike about Sherlock?** They seem to be doing too many things at once, but we have a similar approach ourselves at Survicate and it is starting to pay off. **What problems is Sherlock solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Sherlock to track user engagement and product adaptation on an account level. Scores are associated with Intercom and we automate communication and tasks based on them. ### 7.

Specifically, you can't configure a score based event properties which would be super helpful to build the most accurate score for us. **What problems is Sherlock solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tracking user and account engagement. Communicating that engagement throughout our company. ### 8.

Their insights are unlike anything we've seen, and help us accurately identify users based on their interactions with our SaaS app. Their support is fantastic, with a team ready to help with any questions. **What do you dislike about Sherlock?** While it gets 90% of the way there, there's still a few bugs and things missing. They're making progress though, and are on the right track. **What problems is Sherlock solving and how is that benefiting you?** Sherlock lets us identify which users are succeeding in our trial and which need assistance. For our subscribed users, we can see which users and teams are our best users which is information that feeds our marketing and sales efforts.
