Recommendations to others considering Sotrender:

Try it, you'll be pleased you did. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sotrender solving and how is that benefiting you?

Right now the company I am working for are starting from scratch social media wise so there's not much to address at this early stage. However, I will return for sure.

I came to Sotrender for help with another company I was looking to work for but I didn't get that job, I got this one instead.

I think there's a very good chance that including my Sotrender presentaion during my interview helped me get this great new job. That's pretty good benefit!

I can see the Sotrender system being very useful for marketing individuals to present to their bosses and for marketing companies and agencies to present to their clients. It provides a great professional confirmation without spending hours putting Slideshows or PowerPoint presentations together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Turning enormous social media data into comfortable charts and direct recommendations"

4/5

What do you like best about Sotrender?

The best thing about Sotrender is definitely the human intelligence behind the machine. A few outstandingly competent people met and joined their social science and computer knowledge to develop a tool that is not only efficient in processing a gigantic amount of data every day, but also does it in a smart way, producing results that can really explain what and why people are doing in the tracked social media channels.

I am a frequent user of Sotrender in many of the companies I work for. Having some difficulties with the User Interface, I contacted the authors and currently work with them as an occasional product/UI consultant.

And I can only hope that this front side of things, currenly still a little bit imperfect, will eventually match the ingenuity of what resides under the hood. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sotrender?

The User Interface could use some improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sotrender:

It's really important to think about and define the problems you need to solve with Sotrender. Most likely Sotrender will be able to solve them, but just blindly jumping into the free trial might not let you learn that clearly enough.

If you are considering Sotrender, remember that there's always the Sotrender's competent customer care team that can help you identify the chances for your specific business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sotrender solving and how is that benefiting you?

Optimizing the social media presence for e-commerce sites and apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"That's what I was looking for!"

"Excellent tool and helpful reports"

5/5

What do you like best about Sotrender?

I run a social media agency and work for corporate clients like Nestle Poland, L'Oreal Polska and Polpharma.

We've been using Sotrender in our agency since the very beginning of this tool and we're finding it not only helpful but absolutely necessary in our every day work.

The data are shown in a very clear, comfortable and also esthetic way, the reports are easy to review, download and ready to send to our clients. We especially value the ability to compare the data of our clients' brands and competition, as it's useful for setting KPIs, monitoring competitors' actions and also is a very useful insight during the preparation of strategies.

We also had a chance to use special, dedicated analytical reports prepared by the Sotrender team and those I can also recommend as a source of deeper insight into the social media landscape for brands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sotrender?

We'd love to have the possibility of exporting the reports also directly in form of a Power Point presentation the way it's possible in tools like AgoraPulse.

I don't like the brands' Response Rate indicator as I see it as misleading for the clients (it only counts replies for the posts shared on pages' walls) but since I know that Facebook mechanism doesn't allow better statistics we need to work on what we have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sotrender:

You need to try the brands' comparison tools in order to see the most useful features :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sotrender solving and how is that benefiting you?

Sotrender makes our monthly reporting way easier, helps us to set valid KPIs for our Clients, monitor competition and manage immediately and comfortably all necessary statistics for Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. It saves our time and allows access to important for us social media landscape overview. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Social Media Analytics tool for agencies"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Sotrender?

There are two main reasons we chose Sotrender in WhiteBits.pl agency:

1. Clear UI & friendly UX - which make our work quick and easy.

2. Competition comparison - in our practice we compare our clients social media accounts performance against industry competition on a regular basis. Sotrender helps us being up to date and make decisions in almost real-time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Sotrender?

There are minor UI limitations and some times app could work faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Sotrender:

As far as social media analytics tool are concerned you should consider whether indicators are clear and accurate. Sotrender has for example it's own Interactivity Index or Relative Interactivity indicators and you should decide if it shows the value you are looking for.

The other thing is pricing. Sotrender charges "per brand". Some other tools charge "per account added". Choose pricing that suits you best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Sotrender solving and how is that benefiting you?

Part of our business offer is social media analytics and reporting. Every month we prepare general report on social media activity for our client. It is based on Sotrender's data and visuals.

We also observe competition performance and compare our KPI with them. So basically Sotrender data shows us and our clients whether our efforts go in right or wrong direction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
