What do you like best about Talkwalker by Hootsuite?

I have been using Talkwalker for more than 3 years now. I like the depth the tool can go into bringing results. Even when a nano influencer or small media website mentions your brand, Talkwalker's web crawlers don't disappoint you and show you the results. In almost real-time.

The email alerts are a huge time saver too. I don't bother signing in unless it is necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkwalker by Hootsuite?

Nothing matters for time being. They redesign their dashboard and website recently and that's cool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Talkwalker by Hootsuite solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping an eye on how healthy your brand's digital reputation it is. Monitoring your customer's reviews the bad and the good so you can use the good as testimonials and improve the services so you avoid future bad reviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Talkwalker by Hootsuite?

Easy to set up an account. That's it. Yep. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkwalker by Hootsuite?

Trapped. Easy to set up, impossible to get away from it. Ugh, you can't delete your account without going through a 3rd party request, which still hasn't worked. Users can't delete accounts in settings, zero ability to control your account. Results include every job posting on the planet. In other words, if you want an alert for ICH Q9, instead of getting information on ICH Q9, you get every single job posting that lists ICHQ9 as part of the job, which =every quality professional on earth.

What problems is Talkwalker by Hootsuite solving and how is that benefiting you?

None. Seriously. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Talkwalker by Hootsuite?

Talkwalker has some of the best visualizations of any social listening tool, as well as dashboard creation and curation. In recent years, Talkwalker's updates have improved and expanded on these visualizations to tell a compelling story about trending topics and sentiment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkwalker by Hootsuite?

Talkwalker isn't without its glitches. Tagging in Talkwalker can be slow to update, without notifications when tagging is complete, and delays in updating new tags to the filters section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Talkwalker by Hootsuite:

I would recommend Talkwalker to those using it to monitor one brand with several different products and campaigns. Talkwalker may not be as easy to organize for agency work, especially when pitching with fast turnaround new business requests. For agencies, Talkwalker Quick Search is a valuable tool that can supplement agency work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Talkwalker by Hootsuite solving and how is that benefiting you?

One component of social listening many analysts are chasing is the tracking of viral conversations. Talkwalker's virality mapping is a strong differentiator in social listening. Its cross-topic comparison also makes analyzing different products more accessible than ever. Dashboards are simple to understand when sharing with shareholders.

What do you like best about Talkwalker by Hootsuite?

The thing I like the most is Talkwalker's free search feature, that allows you to get quick insights from large sets of social data without having to pay the large sums that social listening tools usually cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkwalker by Hootsuite?

Having used other social monitoring tools like Brandwatch, Crimson Hexagon and Mention, I think that Talkwalker it's pretty similar to other tools and suffers from similar faults, like a steep learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Talkwalker by Hootsuite:

The first and most important recommendation it's to try first the free search feature to get a hold of Talkwalker and to see if the info that it provides it's the one your company is looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Talkwalker by Hootsuite solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use social listening to showcase clients the State of their industries, companies or some hot topics.

We also use the clouds and maps features to address the importance of certain issues in keynotes where we are panelists and want to make some points of view stronger with the use of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Talkwalker by Hootsuite?

Analytics-focused abilities. They took real care to provide meaningful ways of presenting the data that's available on social.

Robust visualization and drilldown capabilities make it easy to share the data to stakeholders internally and externally. Many visualizations are available for each widget, with thoughtful options such as applying log scaling to the data in cases of erratic charts. All of the visualization widgets are interactive and allow you to drilldown on sentiments and topics.

Dashboards are enjoyable to create and share, allowing for browser access. Report generation into PDF and Powerpoint formats are also appreciated.

Managing data and topics are also easy, there's a consistent query syntax that's used throughout the platform and can easily be used.

Documentation is also extensive in their help guides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Talkwalker by Hootsuite?

It can still be rough around the edges. Some error messages are difficult to decode, but client success managers are very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Talkwalker by Hootsuite:

Try it out. They were very willing to give us trial access to the platform for assessment. Also, if you don't need deep analytics and tracking, you can take a look at their Quick Search solution which is also very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Talkwalker by Hootsuite solving and how is that benefiting you?

Keeping track of client brands reputation online, and conducting social media sentiment research. A few of our services are based on this platform as a source of data.

We're working towards creating API connectivity to extract data that their engine is capturing so we can use said data for reports created on Tableau. Data captured is from most relevant online channels, except for Facebook and Instagram where no tool can actually go.

As mentioned previously, the web dashboarding ability has been a boon, as it makes it easier to convey and share the data to our internal teams as well as external clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
