GaggleAMP

Boost Organic Social Views with Gaggle

Kommentare: The experience with the customer representatives is very responsive and very understanding. If they don't know, the support was good. But there's not much technical help we really needed.

Vorteile:

I am a huge fan of GaggleAMP for our company. We regularly produce social posts for our employees to share on their social platforms. With the introduction of Gaggle, I was able to get them to posts with daily consistency allowing for more organic views. You can incentivize posting through rewards. You can also track ROI based on CPC value.

Nachteile:

We wish we could give users the ability to get regular daily emails, but with the option of what to share from a week's selection. Right now we just have the ability to share what we want them to post that day. Also, sharing to Facebook was tricky because the Facebook API doesn't allow the automatic link sharing, the links came out funny on some timelines. But that's not really their fault.

Exceeding Expectations

Kommentare: Our audience reach is outstanding. It is fun to tell our headquarters that we use a simple program that expands further than all our corporate social media accounts combined. It is also great to hear other colleagues from different parts of the world raving about certain individuals who are constantly posting on accounts such as Twitter and LinkedIn. Little do they know that those users are taking 30 seconds per week to schedule those posts. Our users look like heroes in the eyes of our customers.

Vorteile:

GaggleAMP is easy to use, grabs the attention of customers and consumers we could never reach even through paid advertisements, and makes our users stand out above the competition. All the statistics are easy to access and there are so many options from which to choose. After searching around for competitors of the program we realized even if there was one, it would not compare to that of GaggleAMP. The team at GaggleAMP is always willing to assist and reach out to help expand our platform. GaggleAMP and its team is truly unique and outstanding.

Nachteile:

The most difficult part of GaggleAMP is explaining the program in an elevator speech. It's difficult to make a sales pitch on it in 20-30 seconds. If I want to grab my colleagues' attentions and get them on board with using the program, then I must give visual representation of the program and truly explain the process. Another "con" is the lack of app for administrators. Because our sales teams are divided by regions and countires, I like to make groups for my GaggleAMP users. This allows the posts to be different and not look like everybody shares the exact same thing. Unfortunately, there is no app for the admin and if I am using my phone, it's difficult to create all 4 posts, with images and links, and share or schedule it on GaggleAMP because I have to use the desktop mode. At first, we believed the price was too high, but for what we receive, it is well worth it!

Evan Review

Vorteile:

The Auto-Amp feature makes it very easy to amplify our corporate messaging

Nachteile:

Don't like how we can't get an 'activity' report by member. That's the question I receive the most. As a whole, I wish the reporting dashboard was cleaner w/ more visuals. Also, when manually adding an activity, there are lots of similar options ('Photo' 'Share' 'Retweet' etc.) so it's not clear which option is which. Would recommend cleaning up the dozens of posting options there are.

A Solid Social Media Tool with Superior Customer Support

Kommentare: Overall my experience working with the GaggleAMP team has been great!

Vorteile:

Lots of pros. GaggleAMP is a go-to social media tool for companies looking to boost employee and channel engagement. The tool itself is fairly easy to use and manage, and there are many different Activity Sharing options available. GaggleAMP offers tag-based reporting, which is super helpful when running campaigns or social engagement contests. Customer and Account Support are superior - very responsive and willing to help when any issues arise. They have a great team!

Nachteile:

Not many cons. However, when dealing with software, and software updates and changes for that matter, there are bound to be a few minor issues that pop up. My only qualm with the Gaggle is the interface could stand to be made more intuitive in certain areas. Customizable (and croppable) images in the Manager's View would be a good improvement, and it would be cool to be able to see what the actual post would look like before sharing with your employees. Also, the amount of time it takes for a submitted activity to hit peoples' inboxes can vary at times (from a few minutes to a couple hours sometimes).

A great solution to amplify content

Kommentare: Overall a great experience, our sales rep was great to work with - [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] - he set us up with a trial and really helped us make it successful so we could prove the value to our executive team. I've worked with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] when I used the product at a previous company, he is very knowledgeable about the product, and consultative in his sales approach, which is so appreciated. Using the product overall is great. We are being more cautious about marketing spend amid COVID, so this tool has really helped us amplify the content and research our team is producing at a low cost when compared to things like paid ads, PPC, etc.

Vorteile:

- Helps us leverage employee networks to amplify our content / research. With the social landscape being so crowded in B2B tech space, this is incredibly important to expand our reach. - Reporting and ability to see the ROI on impressions / CPC at a glance is really helpful. This is great to share with execs who want to make sure technology is being used and paying for itself. - It is really easy to use, very intuitive, almost no training needed for admins or users - LOVE the Slack integration. Makes it so much easier to stay on top of challenges. - Leaderboard helps incentivize our competitive team... the ability to layer on actual prize incentives is great, something we will do overtime. Right now we are just using for bragging rights and it already works.

Nachteile:

- With social network APIs getting tighter on what you can do through integrations ... there are some limitations, i.e. you have to actually go to FB to like / share content, for LinkedIn, users actually have to type in their own post when sharing, which is good in that we have more authenticity in posts, but does make it a little more challenging to get our employees to share content.

Making it easy for participants

Kommentare: Because participation levels among employees was the most important aspect of this program, I selected GaggleAMP. It is just so simple to use. Sales reps are only "distracted" for a minute or two each day, but are posting important and well-read content as a result.

Vorteile:

I thoroughly compared six different platforms and selected GaggleAMP because it was the most simple to use for employees. Compliance/participation levels tend to drop off in these programs after the novelty has worn off. So I selected the platform that allows users to post with just one simple click. Users who want to edit the text to make it sound like their "voice" they still can do it quite easily. It's the best of both worlds!

Nachteile:

The administrative side of the software had fewer features than some of the other platforms we reviewed. The layout seemed less intuitive and a bit more "dated".

Get results quickly

Kommentare: I have brought Gaggle Amp into two separate organizations I have worked for and it has worked flawlessly both times. We have seen exponential growth on our social media platforms and increased engagement from our team members. This has led to wider market exposure and improved website traffic from social media.

Vorteile:

The software is very easy for end users to engage with. They can go to the platform directly to customize their postings and overall experience or they can post directly from daily emails they receive in their inbox. Posts are continuously put in front of them so they don't have to take extra time out to think through posting, they just have to select the ones they want to promote.

Nachteile:

The analytics are good, but only go so deep. Depending on how much you want to drill down into activity that may not even be an issue.

A Big Contributor to Rising Follows & Engagement

Kommentare: We are very pleased and blown away with the difference that GaggleAMP has made for our increase in LinkedIn followers and overall engagement rate! We would have missed out on so much had we not tapped into the networks of the very people that work within our organizations.

Vorteile:

It serves as a great hotline for our employees to know about the latest and greatest content at our company. And encourages them to share what they otherwise may have looked past before.

Nachteile:

I wish there was a little more room for custom activities (offline tasks) as well as manual point adjustment to award for said offline activities/rewards, such as in-person events and special gifts for birthdays and such.

Has improved our employee and customer engagement greatly

Kommentare: Quickly being able to share social posts on LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook has made it so that our employees are so much more likely to spread the word about our company. It also allows employees to maintain company standards and expectations.

Vorteile:

It is so simple for employees to share messages on social media, Twitter sharing can even be automated. This allows us to quickly get out different articles, news updates, and press releases and reach a broader audience. Employees can also share what they feel is important to them, and not feel obligated to share what they don't want to. You can schedule out posts on your social media or simply click to share. Our employee engagement has improved greatly!

Nachteile:

I wish you could automate more than just Twitter posts. It'd be nice to automate Facebook, Instagram, and more.

Super useful tool

Vorteile:

I like that I can set the account to automatically post the links I socialize to the entire gaggleamp user base within my organization. I don't need to go into social media, and then take the second step of going into Gaggleamp. It automatically happens.

Nachteile:

Sometimes the posts don't work as planned and I'm not sure why. I also wish that the user experience (the people in the gaggle) were easier to set up because people complain about receiving each social post at a time but there's a way to set it up to get them daily or even weekly but users don't set it up that way. They think it's difficult to do. No matter what or how I tell them to go in and adjust, they resist.

A Great Solution For B2B Company

Kommentare: Overall, GaggleAMP has been a very productive and valuable resource for the digital marketing team.

Vorteile:

GaggleAMP makes it very easy for a large group of employees to share company social media posts to their own personal pages. Instead of hitting the "share button" on the social platforms themselves, GaggleAMP allows for members take the official company content and publish the post as their own post. This can all be done in 1 click. This helps bridge the gap as a B2B company putting a friendly face to the content instead of a company page logo.

Nachteile:

There are not enough customizable options when it comes to distributing content. Ideally as admin, I would like to be able to tag content using automated rules, then push this content to certain employee groups. This way, employees in our education department only see education content. The backend tracking settings/Google Analytics integration does not have nearly enough features for it to be useful.

Gaggle review

Vorteile:

The ease in which our Gaggle members can share posts. I also appreciate the support of our account team. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has always been available to answer questions or provide training to new users/admin.

Nachteile:

I find it difficult to customize the message shared by the administrator. We would prefer that our users personalize the message in some way and I don't think it's as intuitive to do so.

Great way to engage workforce

Vorteile:

Love how easy this product is to use and how much marketing budget we've been able to save through social amplification and employee advocacy.

Nachteile:

Some things are inherently easy to find - I also wish there was an easy way to be told what may be a good way to integrate growth of advocacy.

Great Product for Increased Visibility

Kommentare: In this modern age of social media, this has helped to expand our brand reach.

Vorteile:

This platform makes it easy to increase the social media reach of our brand and products through easy access to corporate sharing of posts. While there is a learning curve for both users and administrators, once you overcome this learning curve, sharing a post is as easy as a few clicks. I like the scheduling option as well, so that you are not overwhelming your connections.

Nachteile:

From a corporate standpoint, if you are all sharing the same or similar posts, it can be overwhelming for those that are connections with multiple people in your company. Also on a platform like LinkedIn, your likes are also shared with your connections, so if you share and like the same post someone else in your company shared, it can get pretty repetitive.

Set it and forget it

Kommentare: Company and customer service is great to work with. They are quick to get on the phone to help troubleshoot.

Vorteile:

My favorite feature is Auto AMP. Connect it to your company profiles and the posts automatically get "amped" to your social advocacy group. Extremely easy to use.

Nachteile:

There are a few features that are a bit more confusing to use. But, as we mature, I plan on flexing those features.

Great tool for amplifying your social media voice using influencers

Kommentare: Our experience has been great. We've elevated our people as thought leaders, we've been able to track sales opportunities back to it and it's very easy to use

Vorteile:

I've used GaggleAmp at other jobs as well. It allows us to position our internal leaders as thought leaders in their social media networks. It's very easy to use

Nachteile:

I'd like for it to be able to allow for multiple 'activities' from each account, i.e. someone can like and repost something rather than just having the choice of one of those

GaggleAMP for the win!

Kommentare: Overall, GaggleAMP has been extremely easy to use and based on the numbers shared by our marketing team helped extend our social media reach exponentially.

Vorteile:

Ease of use is hands down the best feature of GaggleAMP. It is both easy to recommend articles for the admins to share as it is to share them on social media platforms. It's also fun to track your points versus your colleagues.

Nachteile:

As far as functionality I really don't have any complaints. Perhaps a function to limit how many people can reshare a certain post as we have had customers occasionally complain about 'oversharing' and 'overwhelming' LinkedIn feeds.

Great software for encouraging corporate wide social media use

Vorteile:

The ease of use that GaggleAMP provides has been extremely helpful in onboarding a number of Sage Intacct employees to use social media for the first time, or to encourage active social media users to publish and promote more of our corporate content.

Nachteile:

The FAQ section could be a bit more robust -- I often get the same questions from employees that are not found in GaggleAMP's knowledge center unfortunately.

Love this employee advocacy solution!

Kommentare: Great experience overall - and when I have any questions I know I can reach out and get a response quickly.

Vorteile:

And so does my team... I was hesitant about purchasing and getting the sales team to buy in and use it. But GaggleAMP is so easy to use that they tried it out and almost immediately started seeing results! Higher engagement and increased reach on their social networks - and as a marketer, I saw greater brand reach as they used it more and more. Great solution - I have and will continue to recommend it to others.

Nachteile:

Nothing - we've had a really great experience and I haven't had a need to complain about anything.

Make it easy for your team to all have a consistent voice for your company

Kommentare: Our sales and CSM team needed a consistent voice for our company. Few had time to post things, and not all were in agreement with our company's "voice." This saved us all time, gave the company a consistent brand and voice, and still allowed us to be thought leaders in our community by posting well thought content.

Vorteile:

As an administrator, I aggregate the content, and the team just clicks to schedule it. What our users like best is they can post from an email, or schedule their week out. I also like that they can suggest posts for us to use-- keeps them feeling like they have a say in our social posts.

Nachteile:

I am not a fan of the new layout or of the suggested times to post. So I switch back to the Classic format, and it seems more intuitive.

Easy to use and increased engagement

Vorteile:

As the account admin, I like the automation features. Everything I publish on social media automatically notifies our users. All of my team members appreciate how easy it is to like, comment and share our social media posts and our post engagement has increased exponentially which has increased our impressions.

Nachteile:

I would like a notification about users with low engagement.

No one target your audience like your sales team

Kommentare: Real value for money

Vorteile:

Helps you to create digital engagement from our sales people with just a few offer from our side.

Nachteile:

GaggleAMP has a Mobile app version for members. I miss a mobile app for admins

Achieving Social Reach is Easy with GaggleAMP

Vorteile:

This software makes it simple to share company news and promotions internally for amplification across many social media accounts for our Sales teams. We've been pleased with our engagement, reach, and tracking metrics from this software.

Nachteile:

The UI is a bit clunky, and the provisions for multiple administrators (for different teams) are minimal.

Great product for employment enagagement!

Kommentare: It's been awesome!

Vorteile:

I used Gaggle at my previous company and knew I wanted to bring it to Valassis. Its always been a great tool and the ease of use for the admin and members is great!

Nachteile:

I have nothing bad to say. Support has always been great and easy to get in touch with and the product is easy to use.

Perfect tool for encouraging your employees to share content on LinkedIn

Vorteile:

It makes it easy for our recruiters to share branded content with their LinkedIn networks

Nachteile:

Nothing I can think of - it is the perfect tool for what we were looking to achieve, which was to increase the frequency our recruiters were posting on LinkedIn
