What differentiates Meltwater from other similar products?
We can work as a marketing group through the software created by Meltwater, its tools seem very intuitive and it does almost everything we want it to do, it is worth mentioning that at the beginning the account configuration was not easy and it took us some time to do it, then when we understood it well we got an excellent analysis for the management team and complementing the productivity of our agents.

What do you dislike most about this product?
They should create a support system or a specialized customer service to the introduction of the program due to the level of complexity in its learning curve which generates delay in the staff in addition to problems such as languages/news that had nothing to do with our sector. In addition to additional prices for each new tool that can be very helpful for us has as always and additional cost.

Meltwater can be recommended for large management companies that can afford its license, because it is a great platform with interface, but the cost is somewhat high, but we are satisfied with the quality of service and ease of use, so there is no real need to change us for another software for the fact that we do a quality marketing management.
