What do you like best about Synthesio?

A good tool for me is a practical tool. The easiness of use of Synthesio is different from other tools on the market, anyone with or without experience in social intelligence and social listening can use this tool and its ready-to-use features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesio?

I think the drawback of Synthesio is the interface: you have to click and click and click to activate some features (for example, how to select a period, set it again when you leave the widget, etc). It's not such a disturbing element in itself, it's just that it can make the smallest tasks a bit tedious. The colors are also quite dull and the shapes very "blocky", everything is in the form of spaced gray "brick". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Synthesio is in itself a very simple tool, with coherent functionalities. We understand what they are used for, what we can do with them and how to go further, when other tools are often complicated for not much. It helps me to move forward in studies and report without worrying too much about the queries, the set up, building a dashboard, etc. We can also test things, like topic modeling, classifiers, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Synthesio?

The comprehensiveness of its searches. Synthesio can collect a couple years' worth of mentions for me to analyse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesio?

Some of its prepackaged analyses: I prefer my own, thanks. But for those who haven't a clue what to do with the data, the prepackaged analyses offer useful insight right off the bat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

My work--as far as it relates to Synthesio--seeks to define the relation between corporate reputation and online mentions.

I've used Synthesio to determine the strengths and weaknesses of social media types for several content themes. I did this by plotting the net positive sentiment against the difference in share of voice between my company and its foremost competitor. The results showed, for example, that questions of ethics are often of paramount importance in stakeholders’ minds. So greater transparency in contractual transactions would be something my company should pursue, since it shows how fair the company is and how good it is at keeping its promises.

Most recently, I have used Synthesio to get a sense of how useful a particular social-network platform might be as a means to connect with key influencers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Synthesio?

The fact that Synthesio has a broad coverages in terms of the social media and web sources, geographies and provides possibility to track data for the past period of time. This is a big plus.

Possibility to sort mentions by interactions, engagement rate etc is also very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesio?

The system of setting queries for the dashboard is extremely complex, especially if we need to cover very broad scope and diversity of the topics we need to track on social media. The dashboard is not user friendly both from functionality and look & feel point of view. Too many features, overcomplicated and not straightforward to find what you need to find. The interface of the dashboard has been changed several times in one year, no proper communication / trainings on the changes. Every time I find by surpise that smth has been changed and I need to learn again how to use it and find info. The new system with Reports - when you need to build each time an individual report, widget by widget is really difficult and time consuming. Analytics should be connected directly with Listening part, so you could do you filtering and look for analytics directly. Instead of you need to build a report, where you need to create every widget, copy paste your query multiple time, adjust time period for every widget etc. If I need to make changes in the report, I have to change again widget by widget, as widgets are not connected between each other in one report. Overall simple analytics can take hours of your time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use it as a source of consumer insights and trends on diverse topics in food & beverages - consumer behaviour & attitudes, habits, taste preferences, ingredients, trends, products and brands in various product categories and countries. We found a way of working with the system to get the info we are looking for, but we needed to allocate dedicated people, who are trained and work directly with Synthesio dashboard, spend a lot of time to search, analyze and interpret the data for our stakeholders. We could not make a roll-out to the broader number of users due to complexity of the usage of the dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Synthesio?

Strong account management, taking a consultative approach and allowing clients to input into the shaping of the tool. Flexible and client-centric set-up process and dashboards created bespoke to our needs. Growing sophistication of the tool as more and more features are regularly added as part of the technical development roadmap. Relevant webinars. The bolt-on Profiler tool in particular is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesio?

As with any social listening tool, the data universe is not perfect. Sometimes there is a bit of over-promise in terms of the level of sophisticated analysis a lay-person can really do using the self-service, vs what some paid for analytics from Synthesio or Ipsos teams would be able to deliver. Some of the features are launched while still glitchy. The automation is still not optimal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Synthesio:

Of the available options, it's a very strong contender. If I were to review other options for next contract, I would focus primarily on included account services in the contract (e.g. what support & analysis is bundled in), rather than technical tool features, since I believe Synthesio's to be market-leading. If you have the sufficient resource, skill-set and head-count to actually conduct your own analysis, this is a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Understanding the scale and content of how real people speak about our category, brands and competitors online. Understanding specific audiences' online footprint in great detail via Profiler (allowing us to create data-led audience pen portraits). Exploring new / emergent categories and behaviours. PR / Crisis management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Synthesio?

The amount of metrics available, the user interface for reports –very similar to a BI platform. The alerting system, topic & subtopic array and Signals module is one of the most significant strengths of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Synthesio?

Data coverage instability. Even though Synthesio collects data from an incredible number of sources, I cannot trust in the absolute data coverage. In fact, in the meantime I don't understand how Synthesio collects data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The main business problems is providing reports and real-time alerts to governments and private institutions related to their reputation and brand health. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
