Easy platform to work with to distribute news to employees mobile devices AND the company intranet.
Access to internal news from multiple devices.
PROSAbility to have internal news available on a personal mobile device and the intranet from a single platform. Easy to work with and integrates with many other platforms and software.
CONSWould like to see just a few more options for customizing displays on internal intranet. Ability to parse stories by a # or keyword, to display a subset of stories from one channel, would be useful. A UX improvement would be the ability carry details of what a user clicked on through the SSO process, instead of clicking a story from the intranet, going through SSO, and landing on their news feed rather than the story clicked.

It's really helped our publishing process, allowing us to better keep our employees updated.
How easy it is to use! It's intuitive, though there are a few things I would change to make it a little more straight-forward in terms of naming conventions. You clearly update the tool often to provide us the best benefits/are using feedback from clients to improve -- it's noticed and appreciated!
CONSThere's room for improvement in the following areas: I'd like access to customize our data dashboards a bit more. In this regard, it would be great to go a level deeper and really understand who of our users are interacting more than others so we can better tailor their experiences. The ability to target via personalized notifications, etc would be incredible as well.

Longtime user
increase in employee advocates
PROSEnables employee advocacy and the basics of social selling. Can easily share to preferred social platforms
CONSReleases are rolled out that then break and remove features actively used. Feature requests and road-mapped items take forever to come out. No search functionality for users. Backend can be very clunky and isn't mobile optimized. Not their fault but no linkedin engagement metrics anymore due to api changes. No versioning for different platforms

It's an easily manageable application that has made company engagement more plausible.
A significant increase in company engagement. We were delayed on launch, but still managed to reach our goal for download and users. Its very convenient to get messages out to employees and we're always trying new ways to be engaging.
PROSI like the ease of access of both admin and user. It's nice to have the multiple options including article, image, link, and video. I also enjoy being able to have multiple admin's for ease of control.
CONSI do wish we could manage channels and content on the mobile device for instances that it's urgent or on the go. Additionally, it would be nice to order the channels in any other fashion beyond alphabetical. Or also the layout of the images. (Portrait vs Landscape)

Typically, the app is great. When making a post though, I think added functionality is needed.
Increases level of communication for our department.
PROSStreamlined view. Easy to post. I think the new updates on how we can add photos and bullets right from the side is nice and eliminates the need of having to scroll all the way to the top.
CONSWhen pasting a post the format becomes skewed. Also, the bar that has all the functions on it should be a side bar that follows the poster as they are crafting their post since it is time consuming and inefficient to have to scroll all the way to the top.

We love our account manager and the program runs smoothly most of the time.
The analytics and ease of use when posting new content; our account manager; email alerts with new improvements and webinars for training.
CONSThe constant bugs that require us to delay email campaigns and other campaigns. The program interface almost changes too much; hard to keep up.

Amazing experience and totally new digital world for our company...
I love that it's easy to use and upload content - publishing an article is so quick and easy! I love it! I love the front end user experience and how it looks, audiences can handpick their channels to follow and set up their own individual experience!
CONSLittle bad to say to be honest other than I wish we could upload videos straight into the header easily...currently not possible!

The Social Chorus team is innovative, friendly and helpful. They're always pushing for "what's next.
It was easy to use and easy to access.
PROSIt's easy and intuitive - for users and program managers. The publishing platform is constantly evolving with new and useful features that make stories more engaging for users.
CONSupgrades to the web platform are a bit lagging; adding a search functionality would be key to improving the user experience for programs with large volumes of content.

Easy to use, easy to publish, fast, reliable, time saving,
The content can be posted instantly and be edited later if needs be. Scheduling is an amazing feature, as are the content emails as it takes some of the workload away from us. Changes/edits are instant. Push notifications are useful. The backspace is easy to navigate. - I can categories the types of publishers, and have as many as we want. Before we had a select number of emails we could have registered to Newsweaver, and each publisher had access to everything. Now I can have multiple publishers who only have viability to the features they need.
CONSThe email templates (e.g. those to increase app engagement, remind people to follow channels ect.) and custom emails are not visually appealing or Vodafone branded. Individuals find it hard to understand that they need to follow channels in order to see the news, we would have liked to be able to assign channels to employees to ensure they don't miss anything.

Positive, supportive, helpful, engaging, useful
The thing I like most about Social Chorus is that the platform is constantly updating and upgrading its functionalities to continuously improve with time. There are so many great features that our team is looking forward to try, including the live webcast, and we are always excited to test out the new & improved features. The support team is also extremely helpful and the platform has fantastic data analytics.
CONSI think there can be some improvements that can be made including: changing the order in which your channels appear, including a calendar widget/function, and having the opportunity to create/update/edit articles from your platform's app on your phone instead of always having to do it on your desktop computer.

SC is a great platform. The more I engage, harder the realization that there's more to explore.
We're yet to roll it out to our employees, but I see great functionality here. Features that bring value to the communication model for orgs like us!
PROSIt's got brilliant functionality. Imagine being able to send emails also from a News App! I like the campaign features as well. It allows you to customize push notifications with the first name, I like that. It's easy to use if you know what every feature can do and what value it can bring to your audience and business.
CONSThe SC knowledge base should be embedded in the studio manager for better utility. Also its not clear at this point in time how to create groups, I did try reading the article on that. But it's not addressing everything. I get an article on how to set an RSS feed, but I do not get to know what I miss if I do not set it, till someone explicitly tells me about it. Thus if there is a user orientation to know what will work better for them, that kind of insights would help. Maybe being pushed from your end to my mailbox once every 15 days - 1 tip that you think can help me engage better with my audience, those analytics would be useful certainly.

PROSthis program is very easy to use! I love the mobile app option, it helps us get the news to our employees quicker!

It's user-friendly and effective
I went from a manual process to this! Totally changed my world.
PROSI like that it is so user friendly. It didn't take me long to learn how to use it, and to teach others to do so.
CONSI can't think of anything but I've not used other tools to compare it to. Perhaps more options for scheduling.

I like how easy it is to post. Also, how large the images are in the post. lastly, its very easy to publish the post to your own Social channels.
CONSWhen pasting the link in the "Link post" the auto-filled text doesn't take. Having to delete the last letter and add back. The App Is a bit slow to publish the post on your own Social channels after launch, after the first publish the app speeds up. -iPhone 7 Plus

Easy to use platform & share content through different social channels
easy to use dashboard to get the messages socialized to certain social platforms
PROSIt's easy to use and get the message out to employees about sharing specific pieces of content. I like how the content is also separated into different categories.
CONSThe software itself is fine, it's getting users to go to the platform to post the content as opposed to copying content & pasting it to their social feeds.

Very positive experience in all aspects...well done Social Chorus
Pros: User friendly, fast access, similar to social media looks & feel, short as twitter, visual support like Facebook, videos are amazing...I can see everything under one place and this is very innovative tool to engage employees with corporate content. Cons: More features to be added to the app like live videos, event survey & poll.
CONSBackend doesn't work properly from mobile devices and it needs to be better utilized for mobile devices.

As an administrator, it is very easy to post and schedule stories.
PROSEasy to post, easy to schedule posts for the future. It is very mobile friendly. It is easy to link to a variety of articles and posts.
CONSI really wish that I could search stories more easily. For instance, it is difficult to find a story in May of 2014 without scrolling forever. I also don't think the display of the image behind the story always looks very good.

Its a great app for internal communications.
Another channel to push communications and a channel that is more convenient than opening a computer.
PROSIts very user-friendly on the publisher end and on the user end its very intuitive. Good for internal communications.
CONSWish there was more ability to customize postings. Some designs are slightly clunky, but sometimes for the type of communications that we're doing, clunky is good!

I like the fact that I don't have to have a company phone to be able to get news and updates anytime, anywhere.
