The features are great and their customer service is helpful. However, the cost continues to be prohibitive. Pros I love all the detail that Sprout allows you to get into with social analytics. I also love the scheduling features. Cons I just wish it was more affordable. I've now done free trials at two separate companies that have both deemed it too expensive. Review Source RH Richard H. Data Scientist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Overall pretty great, with a few minor issues here and there." August 23, 2017 4.0 Despite a few minor issues here and there it still takes what would be an insanely time-consuming task and allows me to get it done in ~1-2 hours a week. Pros The CSV Downloads, All the info I need in a consistent format so my spreadsheet templates can format the data how I want Cons I do wish I wouldn't crash when attempting to get figures over large date ranges as it means I have to do multiple smaller data grabs and stitch them together Review Source SD Steve D. President Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "We recommend this software of most of our clients." June 16, 2017 4.0 Pros One easy to use dashboard with all of your client's social accounts connected. The best part is, it tracks mentions and growth. Cons The price begins to add up when you have many accounts that you need to connect. Other than that its fine. Review Source SM Sinead M. Digital Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "SproutSocial Flawed System" December 14, 2018 1.0 Poor and unprofessional. Pros The marketing - really paints a picture of something the software is not. Cons Quite a lot. Lack of customer service. Unclear billing. Hidden fees beyond subscription plan. On-going fees and recurring costs with no clear indication of what these are for. Review Source VD Valerie D. Social Media Executive Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A good tool for social media monitoring."

Copywriter Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Geautomatiseerde content posten op social media" February 21, 2023 5.0 Pros Sprout social is de oplossing voor wie niet elke dag of week wil bezig zijn met het posten van berichten op sociale media. Je kan de posts namelijk makkelijk inplannen via deze tool. Zo hoef je je geen zorgen te maken dat je eens een post vergeet. Het plannen van de content gaat heel vlot, één keer proberen en je bent ermee weg. Bovendien bewaar je in de tool een overzicht van alle socialemediakanalen van je bedrijf. Cons In Instagram Stories zijn er nog heel wat mogelijkheden qua stickers, links etc. Die zijn nog niet volledig opgenomen of ten volle uitgewerkt in Sprout Social waardoor je alsnog stories manueel moet plaatsen.

Senior Marketing Strategist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Paradigm Marketing and Design" August 28, 2018 3.0 It's not bad. Pros We like the reporting features and how you can customize them. Cons Some of the nuances of the approval process. Also, we have asked for a few specs to help us make the approval process easier but nothing has been done.

Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "They deliver what they sell" August 30, 2020 1.0 One thing before you hire and another completely different after you start paying. They make you pay in advance and once it doesn't work and you need support, the evade. Pros Seller promises you'll have all you need Cons Don't work properly, support ignores and delay solution, and they don't give your money back after not solving your problem Review Source LS Liv S.

I also would like to see more in-depth customization in the reports, especially for the cost of this tool. Review Source Manuel C. Founder Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool to manage your social profile at an affordable price" May 15, 2018 5.0 Pros If you a small company who works with other independent companies, Sprout Social is an incredible instrument for following and investigating their online social media interaction. Cons Managing messages could be easier. The scheduling and publishing process can be hard to understand for some people and could be more user-friendly. Review Source Morgan D. Graduate Research Fellow Research Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Sprout Social for research work" March 5, 2019 4.0 Pros The software GUI (user interface) is very friendly. You can generate quick figures, like histograms, and find out the peak trend times for words or phrases on social media. Cons This software is not conducive to use as a researcher/academic. It is primarily useful for a small business to see the forums and time periods in which market keywords are trending Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Writer/Content Creator/Public Relations Consultant Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good but not great - Sprout Social" December 4, 2018 4.0 I was the administrator. Pros The ease of resharing previous posts. And the reporting capabilities. Cons It was impossible to get the image that was with the blog post into the queue. That meant I had to go out and search for, download and upload images for each post. That was time consuming and seems like it could be avoided. Review Source JV John V.

July 25, 2017 4.0 Both our follower numbers and engagement numbers increased by large margins after we started using Sprout. We were also able to improve our social listening and provide administration with reports to show that our efforts are working. Pros The Smart Inbox; it allows you see and interact with every social media comment and message that comes in throughout the day, making it very easy to engage with your followers. Cons The graphs within Sprout's reports do not always reflect the data accurately. I have had more success exporting the reports as .csv files and creating the graphs myself in Excel. Review Source AH Andrew H. Lead Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: ### "Sprout Social - Great Value?" April 8, 2014 4.0 I'm currently reviewing social media managers. Sprout Social is the first service I have reviewed and there are definite pros to a service like this. But I'm not 100% convinced of the value for dollar here. Pros Pleasant and easy to use Supports all of the major social media networks Scheduled Posts Great reporting and dashboard Cons Expensive (starts at $59 per month per user) Some features don't seem to have any value add over what the social network provides already. The CRM side of things seemed lacking OR missing. Some marketing claims are impossible to check (ViralPost) Review Source Luis H.

You have access to your social media accounts in one place. 2. You can assign tasks to other users part of your team. 3. You can choose which social media platform to focus on. Cons 1\. You can only add 3 platforms. 2. You can't block users on it. 3. Due to the limited range of platforms it gets difficult if you handle more accounts. Review Source RW Ruth W.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Operations Analysis Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The truly all-in-one social media management tool" November 6, 2018 5.0 Pros Unlike other social media scheduling tools out there, Sprout Social provides more robust analytics and approval workflows to really help you team shine. Cons There really isn't much negative about the tool, it can be pricey if you are a small business looking for streamlining, but in the end the time savings are worth it! Review Source JR Jessica R. Marketing Strategist Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Less powerful than other tools out there " October 22, 2018 3.0 I'd go with another product, personally. Pros I've used a variety of social media management platforms, and Sprout Social offers much of the functionality available in the others.
