For a growing business like us it's social media appearance is very important. Further, we also got to have a watch out for our competitors. We need to save time from switching from windows to apps, mention is the solution to all these.

Pros

Mention is the best app when you are concerned about the social appearance of your business. You can get to see how often your brand is spoken of, and the relevant activities of your social media handle. It is very easy to use and affordable. You can also have a watch on your competitors through mention.

Cons

I cannot get any past information in mention. It took me a while to figure it out, you can see data only from when you signed up. There is no major drawback that concerns me.

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.

Pros

I do not know what magic crawlers or algorithms they use. But it WORKS and it is accurate.
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.

Overall, Mention was a helpful tool to better understand how listening would work for us, however, it did not end up being the tool for us once we required additional mentions. If you are a smaller business with less mentions occurring online as you start out, I recommend using the free version of this tool to better understand how listening can work for you and if you like the tool, they have packages you can buy as your business grows.

Pros

Mention makes it easy to find out what people are saying about you. We tried the free version when researching possible listening tools and found it helpful. If you are a smaller business, this would be a great way to start the listening process without investing in expensive software or spending unnecessary time Googling and searching yourself. Regular reports also make it easy to stay up to date on your mentions without having to continually login and check manually.

Cons

We did quickly use up our available mentions and ended up going with a different software that, for us, was easier to use, cleaner looking and a better value (in part because we combined it with our analytics package).

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!

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.

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

Allows you see all mentions of your brand, or any other keywords or phrases that you want to track
Great value for money
Easy to filter mentions to focus on one channel at a time
Shows each mention as it appears on the referring page

Response from Mention

Thank you so much for the nice review. Really appreciate you sharing how easy you find to filter mentions and identify the ones that need immediate attention.

In a previous job I spent a lot of time evaluating and testing social monitoring tools. There are some great ones out there for a lot of different use cases. If you are new to these tools I recommend starting with Mention, it's quick easy and really straightforward. A lot of the other tools are not. You can also create one alert for free so there is no risk.

Pros

I love the daily email update that doesn't require me to remember to check into the tool everyday. I want a tool that helps me out and doesn't add to my workload.

Great tool to monitor your brand and keep track of your reputation online. Also enables us to respond to mentions in a timely fashion.

Pros

This offers a simple way to track where your brand name is being mentioned – so you don't have to keep Googling yourself to find out.

Whenever someone does talk about your brand, Mention sends you an email so you can follow up. You can also check the dashboard to get quick daily digest of your mentions and decide how to handle them. Flagging spam or irrelevant mentions has been particularly helpful.

Cons

UI could be optimized more for easier scanning and better navigation on smaller screens. The price is also a bit steep for small businesses but there is a free account you can use if you're just a small company and don't need anything too advanced.

Mention is a very efficient tool for PR pros who are in charge of brand reputation and issues management. It is very useful in catching online mentions that can be an issue starter. And being able to see it early on can help avoid turning these issues into a full-blown crisis.

Pros

For quite a long time, I’ve been relying on Google alerts to help me scan the internet for any mentions of my brand. Subscribing to Mention has been one of my company’s best decisions as it gives you more comprehensive results in scouring the internet with brand mentions that can either be good or detrimental to your brand. It has a great and easy to use dashboard. It also has an advanced notification system that delivers quality alerts straight to your inbox. I also like that it can also scan Twitter for brand mentions, leading to a more prominent media article that I always miss in Google alerts.

Cons

It can be a bit laggy at times, but somewhat manageable. You would also need support from their rep during the initial setup to train you on how to use and maximize the app’s full potential.

It's a really good bit of software. I just wish they'd introduce an 'unlimited mention' pricing tier, and make it affordable.

Pros

It's a social listening tool, so it monitors mentions of your brand, your competitors and even your market on social media. It tells you who's talking about your areas of interest, and what they're saying. This makes it easy to start a conversation with potential leads or influencers.

But the feature I like most is the ranking of influencers for a social term - this helps you target your PR to the most important influencers.

Cons

It can be expensive, and the price is difficult to justify if you're a small business.

The easiest tool to monitor media

Reviewed on 2019/01/18

Pros

When I started my work 3,5 years ago I tested a lot of media monitoring tools and Mention keep being the best so far. The first thing - it's clear and easy. The second - it lets me reply on Twitter mentions without leaving the app - it saves time. The third - I can see in the right side of the app what's inside the mention so I can see if it worth my attention without leaving the app.

Cons

I don't have any cons in mind. Maybe the fact, that during these 3,5 years I've been using it the app missed some articles that turned out to be quite important.

You cant catch everything that's happening on the Internet around your brand. This is what's Menion for. It helps you find fresh mentions and discussions of the topics you're interested in, so you're always updated on the most recent development.

Cons

Pros

Well, I do receive timely and regular notifications from this platform. It also provide a score out of a 100 as to the strength of the source.

Cons

The intelligence provided by this platform is sadly flawed, as it tends to report on any names similar to my brand, and cannot distinguish the phrase match to my brand. It perhaps needs some AI to provide more accurate social listening. Equally, it misses noise about my brand across social platforms.
