Great features like creating a calendar for posting (for all those who work a lot with social media). You can track and measure trend metrics in real time. There is also an online chat, you find it in the settings (gear icon) if you are authorized. Finally, you can contact technical support by email. In addition, you can call - the US number is listed at the bottom of the site.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The features are limited and the user interface is more sparse, as is the addition of more analytics data to search through and an improvement in their code for the app because it doesn't work when you tried to open it on a phone, it's common when updating activities easily. If something needs to be updated, we have to delete the old ones and then add them back in.

Being a very simple platform to us Sprout has helped us with growth at the level of more publications and social analytics with a good level of depth.
