Salesforce Social Studio
Listen, Analyze, and Interact across the Social Web
How does Salesforce Social Studio stack up as a social customer service offering? Will it help your customer service staff and analysts stay on top of customers' concerns as customers use Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube to interact with one another, and with your company, around your products and your brand? Our detailed evaluation gives Social Media pretty high marks. Among its capabilities are excellent facilities for identifying posts that contain customers' questions and problems and useful, configurable reports that present summaries and trends of social media activity.
We evaluate customer service offerings against our Evaluation Framework for Customer Service Software, which was updated in October, 2014. We’ve been evaluating customer service software solutions for two decades. This report will save you time and answer your questions.
