"Impressive solution "
5/5
What do you like best about Lumen by Talkwalker?

Talk Waller is by far the most comprehensive service we found for social listening and crisis management. We no longer have to manually listen to social conversations and tracking crisis has never been easier. In fact, we even use this software to pitch new projects to our clients.

What do you dislike about Lumen by Talkwalker?

We have yet to find a downside! Of course, the pricing is a bit high. But since we’re an agency it is more feasible split among clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Feature packed and good support"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Lumen by Talkwalker?

Data visualisation looks great and intuitive. Filter works great and allows for nice scaling of results. The versatility of the tool means you need to invest time in learning and getting used to it. It will in turn reward you nicely. We've also been getting good support from our Customer Success Manager, Charu. She delivers on action points agreed during our calls. There are sales talks from time to time but they're done in the context of our discussion and with good intention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumen by Talkwalker?

Social reach data (even for own Pages) is not true reach, but potential based on number of followers, but this could be due to API limitation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"10 month with Talkwalker"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Lumen by Talkwalker?

Talkwalker offers access to a huge variety of data sources and provides a lot of innovative functionality for social listening such as an AI engine that allow us to classify our data The developers constantly improve the user experience and data analysis by frequently adding new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumen by Talkwalker?

Even after using the tool for almost a year I'm still not fully convinced by the demographic information that Talkwalker provides. The amount of information is fairly basic and the more interesting pieces of information mostly come from Twitter and Instagram. Furthermore, there is still limited access to eastern Social Media sites but they are keen on adding more platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A very comprehensive platform"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Lumen by Talkwalker?

The high number of filters that allows for quite precise configuration; the ability to crawl different platforms/media on the same subject; regular updates to offer a tool capable of making the most of the data; the consideration of feedback by the Talkwalker teams to evolve the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumen by Talkwalker?

The lack of flexibility in how to order the results (possibility to group them into different selections, etc.); the cumbersome process of modifying reports (having to modify each widget one by one); the lack of transparency on non-crawled sources; the errors observed in sentiment attribution.

"Talkwalker: a powerful social analytics tool up there with the big guns"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Lumen by Talkwalker?

It's easy to use for all levels (entry to advanced) and serves the needs of our range of global clients. As a Talkwalker power user, it's important for me to have a range of functionality, as this has allowed me to find new and interesting approaches to answering client questions.

As someone who's used quite a few tools on the market, Talkwalker is the one that left me with the fewest questions asking 'it would be great if they had that' as they have so much functionality and have clearly built this with an analyst in mind as opposed to features that just look/sound 'cool' in theory. Also, there are several things I am yet to use, but great to know capabilities are there when we have a suitable use case and continuously adding new features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumen by Talkwalker?

That search results are not infinite and instead capped, but this is a limitation on most tools on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Really useful tool, full of data <3"
5/5
What do you like best about Lumen by Talkwalker?

I like to have lots of different types of data. You can easily compare your requests. Your reports can be personalized and send directly via email. And there is excellent integration with Hootsuite. You can also use the influencer detection tool to identify accounts to target in your paid campaign, especially with Twitter. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lumen by Talkwalker?

Perhaps it takes a little bit of time to set up your account at the beginning. But if you want something perfect you need to do it :) There are lots of available data in the platform so you have to be careful to use just only what you need and not be distracted by all the others.
