Conversation Monitoring

Social Media Monitoring Wiki – 30 Top Monitoring Tools

I’ve been spending quite a bit of time over the past several months thinking about social media monitoring, and the benefits that companies, both large and small, can gain from it. I’ve invested a significant amount of time investigating many of the leading monitoring platforms and tools, and learned there are many nuances to conversation monitoring. I thought others might benefit from my research on this topic. So, I decided to put together a list, not comprehensive but a solid start, of the top social media monitoring tools.

I would also appreciate your help in building on this list. So if you know of additional and worthwhile social media monitoring tools, please contribute to the wiki I have started by submitting additional cases.

If you find the wiki useful, please consider a stumble, bookmark, or digg of this page.

    Great list. I recommend adding a column to describe the services' pricing.

    Thanks for the recommendation Jeremy. I've received many excellent suggestions since I launched the wiki. I plan to incorporate free/commercial type column and perhaps more to describe the specific prices/offerings for each individual product. This is a living, breathing set of data which will continue to evolve as the community needs evolve as well.

    Holy crap that's a long list! But what we really want to know, and I think I speak for all your time-poor peers, is which ones you like and why. i.e. a rating system/spreadsheet with checks and comments. I'd pay for that info. Yes, it's biased, but if you've put that much time into researching them and testing them, that's the kind of bias I can live with.

    Thanks for including us on your wiki, Ken. Your list is very impressive, I can't imagine the amount of time you've put into researching all of these monitoring companies. If you'd like a demo of our new tool, Hospitality, that is specifically designed for hotel chains, let me know: michelle(dot)chmielewski@synthesio(dot)fr. Hopefully we could help make your research on at least one company a little easier ;)
    Best,

    Aref, thanks for sharing. I really like how you visually represented the SMM monitoring tools in the market map. That's given me some ideas on how to better show the SMM wiki data.
