Brandwatch: King of Customer Satisfaction

G2 Crowd Social Media Monitoring Grid Reveals Brandwatch Earned Highest Customer Satisfaction

NEW YORK, March 27, 2014 — Brandwatch, one of the world’s leading social media monitoring and analytics platforms, today announced it has earned the highest customer satisfaction ranking in G2 Crowd’s first-ever Grid for Social Media Monitoring.

Brandwatch dominates the industry when it comes to customer service, having been named a High Performer in the G2 Crowd social media monitoring report. G2Crowd verifies all its reviews through certified LinkedIn accounts, providing honest and in-depth reviews from real customers, which gives social media monitoring professionals substantiated peer opinions. Earlier this year, Brandwatch was also cited as a Strong Performer and earned the highest ranking in the Customers sub-category in “The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Listening Platforms, Q1 2014″, a report released on January 22, 2014 by independent research firm Forrester Research, Inc.

The G2 Crowd report’s findings show:

• 97 percent of users rated Brandwatch 4 or 5 stars
• 92 percent of customers would recommend Brandwatch to peers
• The Brandwatch support offering was rated at 93 percent
• In feature comparison, Brandwatch’s social listening capabilities were rated highest, at 95 percent

Of the nearly 40 social media monitoring products listed on G2 Crowd, the 8 ranked products each received 10 or more ratings and reviews to qualify for inclusion on the Grid. Satisfaction rankings are generated from the 45-question user reviews, and market presence is calculated from vendor size, market share, and social impact. Based on a combination of these scores, each software solution is categorized as a Leader, High Performer, Contender, or Niche.

“We’re thrilled our customers have ranked us highest in customer satisfaction in the G2 Crowd Social Media Monitoring Grid and report,” said Will McInnes, Brandwatch CMO. “Brands crave social media monitoring technology that can pinpoint the conversations that matter, in real time, and a company that will stand by its product and provide expert support. That’s Brandwatch.”

Their pricing, the way you can backdate data, the full Boolean query flexibility, and the fact there is ALWAYS something new coming in the tool. Since we have been a customer I honestly think there have been like ten major new features added to the platform, per the request of customers like me.” Logan Lawler, Practice Leader for Social Media Services Practice, Dell
