Sysomos
Sysomos offers innovative social media monitoring tools that deliver actionable data. Sysomos MAP and Heartbeat enable new levels of social intelligence. Sysomos helps you monitor, analyze, gather insights and ultimately, make the decisions that allow you to create better products and services for your customers.
Both HootSuite and Sysomos are, at their core, tools designed to help you manage the ever-expanding and often bewildering universe of social media. They allow you to schedule posts across various platforms, provide you with analytics about your social media performance and deliver reports that make you feel like you're doing something incredibly important, even when you're not entirely sure what that something is. Both are made for businesses that want to pretend they have control over their social media presence, which, let's face it, is probably an illusion.

Now, if you were to look at HootSuite, you’d find a tool that's been around since 2008, originating in Canada and is primarily aimed at businesses, agencies and individuals who think managing multiple social media accounts can be a hobby. It’s the tool for people who like things simple. You can schedule posts, assign tasks to your team and monitor social media mentions, all while wearing a coffee-stained T-shirt. It’s user-friendly in the way a favorite old sweater is user-friendly, with all the features neatly tucked into one interface.

Then, there’s Sysomos, which has been floating around since 2007, also from Canada, but with a decidedly more serious attitude. It’s not interested in just posting updates; it wants to understand the deeper meanings of the universe—or at least the deeper meanings of your brand’s online mentions. It’s got some heavy-duty analytics and sentiment analysis tools for those who really need to know what people are feeling about their brand. This is the tool for the more meticulous, data-hungry types who thrive on insight, not just engagement.
