What did I do before SOCI??

PROS

The range of abilities is unmatched. I was able to drop 3 other service providers and save 25% on monthly expenses by switching over to SOCI.

CONS

In comparison to other softwares, SOCI is still newer so waiting for certain features to come available was an earlier issue but not anymore. This software has fully matured.

Vendor Response

We are so glad to hear our software saved you so much, thank you!

It's Improving

I love my rep. She's very responsive and helpful, but we have had trouble with the techs in the past. Features improve every month or so, so I'm still hopeful. I don't know how much SOCi costs, so I can't judge the value.

PROS

I like the organization of all the clients and all the platforms.

CONS

There are still a lot of kinks and there are not enough features. I still need to use the platforms themselves for too many things.

Reasons for switching to SOCi

I'm not sure, they switched about a month before I was brought on.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your honesty, Briana! Your feedback is vital to our success so we appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review.

Awkward at best

SOCi is almost awesome. For some businesses, perhaps smaller ones, SOCi would make posting across apps simplified. For my multi-location purposes, however, SOCi doesn't quite do all of anything, resulting often in frustration.

PROS

I manage Social Media for 4 stores, in 2 states. SOCi makes it easy to create 1 post and have it deploy on a certain date/time to either one store, or the stores in a state, or the entire group. Customer Service inquiries are always timely and polite.

CONS

SOCi is NOT a one-stop shop for social media management. You can post to Yelp, but not respond to reviews. You can respond to reviews on GMB, but not post. Emojies do not exist in posting anywhere. Conversations are clunky. Reporting is unreliable. Any posts made natively aren't captured in any way, but you HAVE to post natively sometimes because there is so much SOCi can't do. It would be great to even have 1 point of contact, like a dedicated customer service rep, but instead you email the onboarding team, and get a different person each time.

Vendor Response

Dee, Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback. We are disappointed to hear that you've had difficulty with the platform and sincerely apologize. We would love to connect with you further on these issues and invite you to contact your customer success manager or onboarding to do so.

SoCi Review - Beginning Use

This has been a great experience so far, it makes me want to publish posts in advance due to ease of use.

PROS

Ease of use and plenty of materials available.

CONS

Nothing that I have noticed yet! It took me a while to tell the difference of hashtag areas but now that I understand what that area is there, for I love it!

Reasons for switching to SOCi

Site was down ALL the time and customer service was less than helpful.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the exceptional review, Jenna! We look forward to partnering with you for years to come.

The all in one digital marketing tool!

Out of all the digital marketing software I've used so far, SoCi is the closest to what I would call "perfect." There are a few flaws, such as the Canva integration being spotty and the Peak Time scheduling feature always posting at 6:00 pm. However, these are potentially user error and as I continue to invest time into the software, these could be resolved.

PROS

SoCi is basically everything I've wanted from other software programs like Hootsuite, Chatmeter, and Mindstream all into one convenient package. Also, it is the first social media scheduling software that I've used that has allowed me to post to Facebook, Instagram, and Google My Business simultaneously.

CONS

There is so much offered, that there is a bit of a learning curve to feel like you're maximizing the potential of the software. Luckily the support staff is extremely helpful and there are many videos offered through "SoCi University"

Reasons for switching to SOCi

Company offered incentive.

Vendor Response

Gianni, thank you for taking the time to write this thorough review! We're so glad to hear that you've seen so much value from using our platform. Also, I'm sorry to hear that Canva and peak time aren't working properly for you. Please reach out to your CSM or our support@meetsoci.com if you haven't already so we can get that resolved for you. Thank you for being a fantastic customer!
