Amazing Content Research tool!

Having BuzzSumo means having an advantage over your competitors since it makes a lot of tricky things easy to track and research about.

PROS

BuzzSumo is definitely one of the best content research and analysis tools that I have used. I've used it for the mentioned reason and apart from that it also has useful features that let you scan backlinks and perform research related to your competition. As a digital marketer, tools like BuzzSumo are definitely great to have. Not only is it simple but it packs a lot of power and functionalities. The time you spend using BuzzSumo will be the time that will get you the highest ROI when you are planning your campaign. All you need to do is enter the relevant keywords you are working with and there it is, all the stuff you need and with all the filters, toggles and other stuff, BuzzSumo proves to be a great tool overall.

CONS

BuzzSumo does have a bit of a learning curve but once you get used to it and learn how to use it correctly, you will be able to take full advantage of it. Also, I wish they work on the pricing and bring it down a notch to make things even sweeter.

BuzzSumo

I mostly use them to monitor different brands and how media talk about them, if there's a crisis or a viral news that impacts business.Also, to keep up with the latest news about fashion, tv, sports and other topics of interest.

PROS

BuzzSumo is a great tool for grouping all the news available on sites, blogs and Youtube into different categories.

CONS

Sometimes it gets too repetitive with the same news showed through different portals. It should have a way to group them under the same title using AI features.

A great tool I don't use often

It's fine as an augment to my existing monitoring solutions, but it doesn't offer enough breakthrough functionality or quality to justify purchase as a standalone service - for me at least.

PROS

The monitoring functionality seems strong and it's probably the most authoritative of the many sources I need to check every day.

CONS

A lot of the value that it delivers seems duplicated by my existing PR and news monitoring services, and free services like Google alerts.

BuzzSumo: The Best Tools For Anaytics On Facebook & Search Alerts

Overall, I have yet to meet a tools as powerful and comprehensive as BuzzSumo. They are unique. Use this tool. You will not regret. Worth every single penny.

PROS

I can't contain my enthusiasm on this great tools of BuzzSumo: The ability to search for meaningful and top scoring Facebook content with just a keyword. I was also impressed with the keyword mention tools, that i if someone mention your brand on the web, you get an instant notification via email.

CONS

The pricing: A great tool but not readily available to anyone.
