What differentiates Meltwater from other similar products?

The biggest thing for us was their ad-hoc audience reports that took follower data on key competitors and analyzed it via iBM Watson so provide in depth audience reports on online and offline habits, media affinities, etc. of our brand as well as competitors to improve our insights, strategy, as well as giving us a huge leg up on new business. Was a huge difference maker.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The custom audience reports were amazing. Also the sales team's willingness to find a solution and cost that worked with our finances while still meeting our needs was hugely appreciated.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Poor visualizations and lack of additional insight development and analysis on primary data points was frustrating

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Do your due diligence and research 3-4 vendors at least before you come to a decision. Don't be afraid to ask how they differentiate themselves as well as asking about discounts or their willingness to come down to meet your finances or at least to augment the package so you're not paying for what you're not going to use or don't need.

Pros

Reliable
Performance Enhancing
Enables Productivity
Trustworthy
