## Reviews

### "Falcon.io Review" — 5.0/5

> **Rob** | *25 August 2021* | Market Research | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Great program to publish and schedule your social media content - especially if you have a lot of content to publish.
> 
> **Cons**: It is very similar to other programs- but somewhat more expensive.
> 
> Very good experience. It helped to get our social media scheduled and publish on time, without having trouble forgetting any important posts.

### "Brandwatch is super powerful and well rounded." — 5.0/5

> **Jeb** | *11 December 2024* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We love all the integration with the different platforms we use but especially WhatsApp.
> 
> **Cons**: There was nothing wrong with Brandwatch for us. It was just a little more then we needed. We are a small business and don't need so much power.
> 
> Brandwatch was great to work with. Not too difficult to set up and a joy to use. The data we got from our testing was magnificent and info we didn't know before.

### "Brandwatch: Useful Tool, Predatory Business Practices" — 1.0/5

> **Chris** | *9 March 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Brandwatch used to be a solid analytics \&amp; social listening tool. The dashboard was well-structured, reporting was comprehensive, \&amp; sentiment analysis was useful. It offered valuable insights into brand perception, competitor monitoring, \&amp; market trends.&#10;&#10;At its core, Brandwatch is a powerful tool, but no level of analytics justifies the kind of predatory business practices I’ve now experienced.
> 
> **Cons**: Deceptive renewal tactics \&amp; a customer-unfriendly approach. Brandwatch quietly slipped an auto-renewal clause into what was a manual renewal agreement, locking us into another contract cycle without explicit consent.&#10;&#10;Previously, contract renewals were handled with an account manager reaching out—but now? No heads-up, no automated reminder, just a silent renewal \&amp; a big invoice. When challenged, they deflected with "standard practice" excuses, despite past renewals being explicitly manual.&#10;&#10;If a company relies on fine print trickery rather than product value to retain customers, it speaks volumes.
> 
> I was a strong advocate for Brandwatch \&amp; regularly recommended it to peers \&amp; leadership groups. That ends today.&#10;&#10;This is a textbook case of short-term financial gain at the cost of long-term trust. Great tool, terrible ethics. There are better analytics platforms out there that don’t resort to legal landmines \&amp; deceptive billing tactics to keep customers on board.&#10;&#10;Would I recommend Brandwatch now? Absolutely not. Would I ever trust them again? Not a chance. Sies.

### "market leader and first mover since 1999" — 5.0/5

> **Michele** | *24 September 2021* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 100% flexibility and scalability. it can be used by any type of user and it can scale to any company size and need
> 
> **Cons**: to leverage it at fool capacity it require some serious skills in query wirting
> 
> always available to solve issue or arrange product training.

### "Take the time to explore" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *20 March 2020* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The best thing for me is their customer support. Falcon is a very robust software and it takes time to learn it. Having a person available at all times to answer your questions is a very powerful feature and one I've taken advantage of multiple times. They are always available, even if it is to help you locate a specific thing in your dashboard.
> 
> **Cons**: Probably the mobile apps. Since the software is so robust, there are a bunch of different apps that you need to perform all the different tasks. I think this is useful if you have a big team but our team is small, even thou our client is big and having so many different apps makes it quite annoying when trying to manage.
> 
> I am very impressed, I wasn't very famliar with it when I started using it but I'm starting to see the power of it. The learning curve, like I said, is a big one but there is a lot of help and resources available to navigate you thru it. I wish I started with the tutorials, like my CRM suggested but I hoped it would be fairly plug and play so that's my bad.
