Comprehensive Social Media Management & Analytics for Teams
Efficient Social Management with Room for Improvement
Centralized social media management has boosted collaboration and streamlined university reporting
What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Sprout Social is as a system administrator as well as a content creator. I manage all of the access for the entire university and provide support to all units, as well as push forward our own internal department initiatives.
I use Sprout Social in my day-to-day work by leveraging the Smart Inbox to stay engaged with prospective and current students, the publisher to leverage the calendar for scheduling across many social media platforms, and reporting to indicate strategy going forward.
How has it helped my organization?
Sprout Social has made a huge positive impact on my organization by centralizing social media efforts in a way that the central university relations team can have a better view on what's happening across the university to report off of, as well as creating more of a community space around social media marketing and best practices. I run Q&As and office hours with our Sprout Social customer success manager to keep people engaged and really grew from zero engagement to people being very excited about the prospect of learning more about Sprout Social and how it can work for their department.
While I don't have specific numbers, I know from being close personally with the digital strategy team that the time they have been able to save when pulling together these metrics across the university has really skyrocketed in their capacity and ability to report on these kinds of things.
What is most valuable?
In my opinion, the best features Sprout Social offers are the Listening and Smart Inbox, which are definitely the most important features for my work and the university that I work for.
The Listening and Smart Inbox features stand out for me because they have definitely helped the team by saving money in having to use outside third-party tools, so having it within the platform already connected to our data is a huge time-saver when it comes to Listening, along with the AI features that have been recently rolled out to determine trends that may not be as visible by manually looking. The Smart Inbox helps by allowing us to track all messaging that's coming into a single platform.
What needs improvement?
I believe Sprout Social could be improved by having more integrations into different platforms that aren't as popular in North America but are in other world markets, something like WeChat, as an example.
I chose 8 out of 10 because everything that Sprout Social offers in the package that we have is super helpful, but when it comes to continuing service and improving it without costing more monetary investments in Sprout Social, we're at a standstill in our growth.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Sprout Social for just about three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Sprout Social is stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Sprout Social's scalability has plateaued at this point; once you have ramped up to all the platforms, it plateaus out to becoming your day-to-day work.
How are customer service and support?
The customer support for Sprout Social is amazing. I could not say more good things than I already do about Sprout Social's support. They are great people who always want to help get your issues solved, and I have only had good experiences.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I did use a different solution previously, but it was on a department-by-department basis where they chose their own platforms. Generally, it was platforms such as Hootsuite and Buffer, which are platforms that offered free options but with fewer integrations to different tools such as Listening.
How was the initial setup?
I was not involved in the purchase process, but as far as I know, it was directly through Sprout Social.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that if you could speed this up, that would be great, but the costs are very vague when it comes to Sprout Social and they do not have a set cost per seat, which is really confusing. There were definitely a lot of issues with billing regarding how Sprout Social bills, and that actually is my biggest issue with the platform. Your invoices are so vague and confusing that it makes it really tough to reconcile with our accounts payable team. There is minimal detail about what has been purchased, and that was a really big blocker for a while, trying to figure out how to get the accounts team on Sprout Social's side to give us something that we could actually prove what we're purchasing.
What other advice do I have?
My advice to others looking into using Sprout Social is to definitely recommend working with your customer success manager, or someone similar if you have them, to align on what your institutional goals are with the platform, and then leverage the resources that Sprout Social has available to understand the features and leverage them.
I think Sprout Social is a really great platform. I feel that they are on the right side of history in supporting political issues that are happening around the world and not supporting in a way that would make people want to leave the platform, which has been great for me to see as someone who has worked as a system administrator. I think it is a really great platform that is always being improved upon, which I think is super important with the way technology is moving these days. I have always been super happy with the product itself. I would rate this review an 8 out of 10.
