Top Reasons Why Companies

Choose BrandMentions over Meltwater

1.-BrandMentions picks up way more mentions than Meltwater

At the end of the day, this is why people use a brand monitoring tool: to get ALL the mentions about their brand, and stay assured knowing that they are aware of everything that is being said about them online. Here's a direct quote from one of our clients: Compared to other services, with BrandMentions we really get a nice amount of extra mentions out of it.

2.-With BrandMentions you get access to the historical data no other tools provide

While other similar tools, like Meltwater, are targeting mostly the future mentions, on top of that, BrandMentions is focused on past data as well. Many users need access to their historical data, on the web and all social platforms. And BrandMentions does exactly that: extracts years of historical data to help marketers better understand the past to build their brands better in the future.

3.-All important social platforms are monitored, not just a few

Monitoring all social media channels implies more costs and more complexity and that's why not all tools are offering it. Yet, we choose to make this investment for users from all over the world to be able to accurately monitor their brands. Unlike other tools, BrandMentions offers a solution that helps brands perform social listening by the book on ALL social media platforms.

4.-BrandMentions gives you the full list of people that can impact your business

A reason why users choose BrandMentions over Meltwater or other social listening tools we hear quite a lot is this one: I can finally start thinking about influencer marketing, or I can see all my brands ambassadors, from all my social networks, not just Instagram. Because with BrandMentions you can find the social media influencers to boost your social reach.

BrandMentions vs. Meltwater at a Glance

BrandMentions

Meltwater

MONITORING FOR BOTH BIG AND SMALL BRANDS

BrandMentions offers data for all brands and businesses, regardless if it's a large scale international client or a small local business. BrandMentions does not rely on limited databases, but constantly crawls the whole web to offer accurate and up to date mentions data.

ALL IMPORTANT SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS MONITORED

BrandMentions extracts way more data from Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, Reddit and many other channels. Using multiple data providers, the tool can guarantee that almost no mention is missed, regardless of the social media channel is coming from.

YEARS OF HISTORICAL DATA

BrandMentions is the only tool offering this big amount of historical data. Meltwater offers a maximum of 15 months of historical data. We extract many years worth of mentions data, on both social platforms and the web. While Meltwater is focused on future mentions only, BrandMentions focuses on both future and past mentions.

DATA QUALITY

Collecting all the mentions is a complex and expensive job!BrandMentions crawls the web and uses multiple data providers and APIs to aggregate mentions. By doing this BrandMentions is able to provide a way bigger and comprehensive dataset of mentions. This is for both historical and future mentions.

GENERIC BRANDS MONITORING

BrandMentions has the capability of monitoring all brands, generic brand names included. We can track brands such as Apple (the technology company) or Orange (the mobile phone carrier) better because we provide fine-tuning settings and private one-on-one setup consulting to get your project off the ground.

MOBILE APP

Meltwater has a mobile app available for all their customers. BrandMentions does not have a mobile app yet. There was not enough demand for it, as people use BrandMentions as an analysis and research tool mostly.

NEWSLETTER CREATION

Meltwater offers the possibility of creating newsletters right from the tool. For the moment, BrandMentions does not have this feature, as it wasn't requested by users.

HASHTAG MONITORING

Hashtag usage has significantly grown on social media over the last few years. While both tools offer solid hashtag monitoring, we want to highlight that BrandMentions offers these features on all important social platforms for both historical and future mentions.

SENTIMENT ANALYSIS

Sentiment analysis is done by monitoring all the mentions for a specific brand or product. We look through comments, social media posts, keep an eye on the people that like and dislike your product, and provide all the necessary information to assess the overall brand or campaign sentiment.

SLACK INTEGRATION

Slack integration is available for both Meltwater and BrandMentions. Once you connect Slack within the app, you'll get real-time notifications in any Slack channel.This way you can stay connected 24/7 with whatever you are monitoring.

WHITE-LABEL REPORTING

Both tools offer the possibility to white-label your reports. Yet, what BrandMentions has extra is that the reports can be translated in any language and the customization level is higher.

We know what you’re probably thinking: “you’re talking too much about your own product. You should put your money where your mouth is”. And you couldn’t be more right.

So, here’s what we did: we asked our customers to tell us why they chose BrandMentions over other similar tools. Here’s what we got:

BrandMentions picks up every mention of your brand

on web & social media and pulls it all into one place

We hear this quite a lot from many of our customers: finally I don’t have to worry about missing important conversations about my brand.

In today’s world, keeping up with all the social networks, comments, news and blog articles is almost mission impossible. So having all these data centralized in one place saves you tons of time and headaches.

Compared to Meltwater, BrandMentions reports more mentions, from more sources, faster.

The BrandMentions app picks up a more comprehensive list of web mentions than I have in other similar tools. The quick search module is also very helpful because unlike other tools I've tried you can quickly search any term without attaching it to a project.
