Efficient management of social media campaigns while noting pricing challenges

Automation tools have improved workflow efficiency and offers AI features
AI manages customer interactions really well, and the flow becomes easier. The best part about AI is its analytics. For example, if a customer has been with the product for past five years, it provides insights into a customer's buying behavior and past issues with the company. This data is important when dealing with a customer on a call or another channel. Sprinklr's automation tools have improved workflow efficiency for our customers and made their life easier. he integration is better than before because they are really focusing on what they're doing now. Some of our colleagues even moved to Sprinklr from Aethela, and they are really building it up in a better way.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"HootSuite has an AI engine to suggest trending topics related to our business. The engine works really well and comes up with excellent suggestions for more posts."
"It has a social media presence outside of the hours people are able to devote to an organization."
"The main improvement HootSuite offers is allowing my organization to run social media campaigns."
"The most important feature of Sprinklr is its high availability since it is a cloud solution."
"Everything is integrated in one platform."
"Sprinklr provides an in-depth, comprehensive solution akin to Salesforce for social media, offering a 360-degree cover with numerous options."
"Customization and custom rule engines are highly valuable, enabling the creation of custom rules tailored to specific needs."
"The interface is the most valuable feature to me."
"The scheduling feature is, of course, key just so I can do it in one sitting, plan out the month, and be ahead of everything."
"This single-pane-of-glass approach enhances efficiency by consolidating social network interactions on one dashboard."
"AI manages customer interactions really well, and the flow becomes easier."
 

Cons

"Last I checked, you can't schedule Twitter threads where each tweet is a reply to a previous tweet."
"The company should reduce the pricing to make it easier for companies to deploy to larger social teams."
"The interaction and integration with our CRM should be improved, especially to ensure security with on-premises solutions and to be suitable for banking environments."
"Their support team should opt for phone calls over emails to resolve issues faster."
"The support system is a major drawback because there is no live chat system for immediate issue reporting, leading to delayed resolutions."
"Sprinklr should consider not charging for everything. Services such as premium support and onboarding should be part of the deal."
"Sprinklr could be more drag-and-drop friendly."
"If I compare Sprinklr with NICE, people still opt for NICE. This is because they are not as confident with the use cases of Sprinklr, even though Sprinklr is trying to improve."
"Customer service needs improvement, especially in problem-solving rather than just stating why issues exist."
"There could be more videos on how to use Sprinklr."
