## Reviews

### "This is an app that is just as essential as a bank account is to a business." — 5.0/5

> **Marius** | *20 July 2016* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I do not know what magic crawlers or algorithms they use. But it WORKS and it is accurate. &#13;&#10;Note though that I can not rate their customer support as I have never needed to use it. Yes they are just that good.
> 
> **Cons**: The free version is limited, but still well worth it for a growing business.
> 
> This is an essential tool in any business of any size that has an online presence and wants to monitor their digital marketing. The best value is in its "early warning" application to lets you manage your online brand reputation.

### "If you work with Social Media and brand awarness then you need Mention" — 5.0/5

> **Ángel Enrique** | *08 August 2019* | Research | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This is a must have tool, you can monitor 24/7 what people is saying about your brand. An excellent tool to attend any brand crisis just in the right time
> 
> **Cons**: Full features may be pretty expensive for small bussiness, still, it worth it

### "Great price for low budget / low priority social media tracking and analysis" — 3.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *09 April 2018* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The price\! Even a college student could afford to pay for their smaller plans out of pocket. They do a good job returning results for distinct keywords ("Grindr" is uniquely spelled with few other off topic themes, "Apple" would require extra care to differentiate between the computer company and the fruit) with some support for more advanced / complex boolean queries. Analytics engine is basic but very good for the price
> 
> **Cons**: You get what you pay for\! While there is a huge need to fill for low cost / low priority social media analysis, this is not the tool for anyone with a serious business need to access / analyze this data although it could be a good starting point for testing purposes, even for large-brand employees. Expect some incompleteness in the data they return, below market analytical horsepower and lingering hunger to dive deeper, most likely with a new vendor.
> 
> Low cost access to social content by keyword search

-----

### "I must have for any brand" — 5.0/5

> **Sam** | *09 July 2015* | Internet
> 
> **Pros**: Allows you see all mentions of your brand, or any other keywords or phrases that you want to track&#13;&#10;Great value for money&#13;&#10;Easy to filter mentions to focus on one channel at a time&#13;&#10;Shows each mention as it appears on the referring page
> 
> Mention is a tool that I use every day - it's one of the first things that I open. It allows me to track any mention of my brand, so that I can respond accordingly and be aware of everything that's being said about my brand, good or bad. Each mention in the list is given a score as well as a flagging system to help me prioritise which ones require speedy attention. I get regular notifications when new mentions come in, so I never miss a thing\!&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;The tool also allows me to mark any mentions that I want to mark as irrelevant or block completely, and the filter can be great when you want to focus on a single channel, such as Twitter.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Mention is great value for money, and while there are other tools out there that provide a similar service, I find Mention to be the best that I've tried\!

> 
> **Pros**: It helps you listen to your audience perception through social listening.&#10;&#10;Its a cloud based solution so no issue of installing, maintaining server
> 
> **Cons**: I didn't come across any disadvantage of it yet
