Messy data **Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2024 **What do you like best about SHIELD Analytics?** Filtering analytics by post + having multiple accounts to track on a dashboard **What do you dislike about SHIELD Analytics?** The data is suuuuper messy to actually make sense of. The filtering of dates is very wonky (you click Mon-Sun and it'll pull Tues-Fri for example) and on occassion there will be weekly data missing for key accounts we track. Support reply quickly but it's a pain for a simple use case. **What problems is SHIELD Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tracking performance of personal social media accounts ### 2. Terrible customer support. And overpriced. **Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 02, 2024 **What do you like best about SHIELD Analytics?** It helps me see my top performing linkedin posts/ **What do you dislike about SHIELD Analytics?** Terrible support. The product is overpriced and when I'm unable to access it, I won't be able to get access again for days, because that's how long it takes to get a resolution from customer support. Unfortunately, it's too unreliable. If this wasn't the case, the product is decent. **What problems is SHIELD Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?** - providing linkedin analytics for my personal page. ### 3. Good idea, terribly shady pricing and billing **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michael G. | Independent Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 17, 2024 **What do you like best about SHIELD Analytics?** Being able to see all Linkedin analytics in one place **What do you dislike about SHIELD Analytics?** 1. Not the $8/ a month the website says, but $228 annually 2. Lacks features **What problems is SHIELD Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?** NONE ### 4. Good idea, terrible implementation **Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Antonio G. | Co-Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 18, 2024 **What do you like best about SHIELD Analytics?** The idea of being able to track all your LinkedIn account performance at one place. **What do you dislike about SHIELD Analytics?** The onboarding is complex. You can't simply add team members, but you need to use an external form to add new users to your team. Pretty much every action needs to be done through the customer support. And yeah, if you care about your LinkedIn profile, don't bother with this tool. Got restricted in less than a hour after installing their extension. **What problems is SHIELD Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tracking LinkedIn performance of my team. ### 5. A must for every content creator **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ariel C. | Customer Success Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 26, 2022 **What do you like best about SHIELD Analytics?** In my case, we use it both as a corporate tool and as a personal one. I like that I can review both usages without having to log off and log on. The set of metrics is spot on. Super useful to know what works and what doesn't. **What do you dislike about SHIELD Analytics?** I would love to be able to detect somewhat easier what time of the day is the one that has more engagement rates. I mean, I know the better days, but the hour of posting is key. So far it's the only thing I can think of. **What problems is SHIELD Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?** Being able to determine the kind of content that works best, the one that is prone to get more engagement, the content that doesn't work, etc. The main problem it solves is not knowing what kind of content helps you grow organically. ### 6. Best tool to get hands on Linkedin personal account analytics **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2022 **What do you like best about SHIELD Analytics?** It lets me compare all my posts and see which one faired better. It also shows me which ones had the most engagement rate which is highly beneficial in curating future content. **What do you dislike about SHIELD Analytics?** There's nothing about the tool that I dislike as of now. **Recommendations to others considering SHIELD Analytics:** I've experimented with various tools for Linkedin Analytics, but shield turns out to be the best among all. It's worth the price. **What problems is SHIELD Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?** I was facing difficulty tracking the engagement rate of my posts and understanding what kind of posts my target audience liked better. Shield helped me figure that out. ### 7. Not recommended for scaling businesses. Support is not helpful in anyway. **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2022 **What do you like best about SHIELD Analytics?** Didn't manage to get access because it's rather clunky in all aspects. Probably work better for personal branding, just as marketed, but not great for company. **What do you dislike about SHIELD Analytics?** Everything is clunky. I work in tech myself (a different industry) but this is a very undeveloped tool in comparison with others on the market. The website is hard to navigate and it was almost impossible to get help or training/support from anywhere. **Recommendations to others considering SHIELD Analytics:** Everything is clunky. I work in tech myself (a different industry) but this is a very undeveloped tool in comparison with others on the market. The website is hard to navigate and it was almost impossible to get help or training/support from anywhere. Unable to link to my account, and can't get help/support from anywhere. Can't find troubleshooting documentation on the help center as well. Probably work better for personal branding, just as marketed, but not great for company. Give it a few years before this tool could make it. **What problems is SHIELD Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?** Unable to link to my account, can't get help/support from anywhere.

Full Insights into Your Personal Brand Reach **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kate E. | Content Marketing Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2021 **What do you like best about SHIELD Analytics?** I love that you can see all the metrics that LinkedIn doesn't show you. You can see exactly how well your personal account is reaching the right people. And honestly, I don't know of any competitors. SHIELD is providing a service that I haven't seen matched by anyone else. **What do you dislike about SHIELD Analytics?** Nothing at all! I just wish I could get it comped by my company. I honestly think that personal branding and employee advocacy are crucial to every B2B company's success so every B2B company should include SHIELD in their tech stack. **What problems is SHIELD Analytics solving and how is that benefiting you?** I can see which of my personal posts are performing and which are lacking. More than anything, though, it's just lovely to see my progress and be able to provide some success metrics for the work I'm doing on LinkedIn. ### 9.

The platform goes above and beyond what you get in LinkedIn by providing helpful visuals, comparative metrics (based on the timeframe of your choice), sortable lists and more.
