Act-On vs MeetEdgar

ACT-ON is a very powerful marketing automation tool that we decided upon after much research. It allows a great deal of work in segmentation, customer behavior analysis, etc. However, at $600/mo plus the $450 a month for the Salesforce CRM that we used with it, it was too much expense and, as a very small company, we were not able to take advantage of the features. Support is TREMENDOUS with this company and that goes a long way. We're dropping Act-On for now but if we grow to the size of a company that can afford a full-time marketing person and who can devote the time necessary to utilize all the great tools, we would definitely look at them again.

"Nothing Saves Time Like Edgar Does" What do you like best about MeetEdgar? I love that you can setup campaigns to recycle content on a custom schedule. The schedule is visual and you can see what category of content is going to go out and when. The queue is easy to manage and add content. It also pulls in data from my website's news feed to make it easy to remember to create posts for it. I love that it will analyze the copy on a link and come up with suggestions for posting.

I also find it frustrating that I can't customize the content across platforms in one post. For example, if you want to tag twitter handles in a post, you can only set that content to go on twitter. You have to do a separate post for the other outlets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering MeetEdgar: Use the free trial as much as possible to make sure it will work for you before committing to a paid plan. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is MeetEdgar solving and how is that benefiting you? Not enough staff to keep social feeds active. Meet Edgar helps me keep my social feeds active while recycling content throughout its lifecycle. It frees me up to work on other things since social media is only one very small part of my job.
