Buzzstream ia a very powerful tool, and I used it for a while, but it was not my favorite platform. I found I could do some of the same things on my own in an easier way.
There were too many notifications, too much "noise" really. It seemed like instead of working with other software I was using Buzz Stream wanted to be my only go to.
It is actually a good product for tracking certain marketing and PR efforts. It did solve those issues. However, when using a project management software as well, Buzzstream felt like an extra step.
The capabilities that this software offers
I don't dislike anything about this software
It offers me a lot of easy solutions to navigate things at work and making things easier for our company
Its very efficient and easy to see the social impact individuals have
I have nothing to complain about this site.
Easy to see contacts and their impacts
BuzzStream is a much more streamlined and organized platform than tradition email.
Emails and contact information don't always pull in correctly.
It helps keep track of everything and everyone for our blog.
Web based software, don't need to download. I can have one parent project with several other initiatives going and trust that if we ask for a feature to help us do our jobs better, they'll be receptive to it. We train all of our staff members on this product because it plays such an integral role in our outreach process.
We have about 17,000 writers in the system, it can be difficult to load sometimes. I've also had Buzzstream: Lose contacts Lose data on my email campaigns Freeze in the middle of mass outreach and Creates a culture of spam;
We wanted to promote our content as much as we could to help people find our product, which we believe would be extremely beneficial for them. t has helped me achieve the goals that I was after pretty easily without a ton of effort.
The ability to be on a site and immediatly scrape all the ionfo into this ecellent database - game changing
To set up was quite a project, we are not supper teccy, nor ludites but we nearly didn't perservere, This was 6 months agao and I suspect this has been improved. I am pleased we got there in the end.
Collating outreach, responses and monotoring this in a timly manner.
How easy it is to promote my products and services. When I first started out using the product I thought I was going to be overwhelmed by everything but the learning curve was very small and I was able to get up and running in no time. I also really really like the support that BuzzStream offers. I also really like that BuzzStream's price point is not too high and even small companies can afford it, at $29 a month that will not break the bank.
I have not found anything that I dislike enough to mention in here.
I am solving the problem of getting our product in front of a larger audience by using Buzzstream.
I like the fact that you could add items and easily display them
I don’t like that you have to go through so many steps to get to where you want to go
I am solving the problems of marketing with buzzstream
I like how Buzzstream gives you the ability to organize your contacts into multiple projects. You can also track how and when they were contacted, and send emails directly from the application. You can create multiple templates with interactive elements able to pick up on website names and other information entered into each project.
I wish the organization of the contacts was more intuitive. Sometimes we are reaching out to an individual as opposed to an organization, and I find that templates are not always available across projects.
Sending emails to contact directly from your email can make it difficult to track responses and other communications. Buzzstream helps you organize all of this in one place so that you can qualify contacts and build relationships all in one place.
I like that they are working on a beta Discovery option to help you find bloggers to reach out to. It still needs a little work, but I am sure it will be beneficial when it's rolled out.
Everything is so manual in the system. It can be frustrating because some people use contacts, while others use websites. If you cannot get your whole team to use one process you will have websites with contact info but no people attached and if there are people attached to the website, they can be in a different project and you can't actually reach out without copying and pasting their email address. Also, email templates cannot be updated at once, you will have to create a new template or edit the email every time you want to send it out.
We wanted a system where all our SEOs and outreach specialists could have insight into the outreach process. It has proven helpful because now all stakeholders can log in and view the status of their projects and add/remove contacts as they wish.
It check all the paid links for the website on a monthly basis. We just need to update all the published links on buzzstream and it keep a check on all the links if they are still published or have been removed.
Most of the time its not working and we are unable to contact the bloggers. Also when ever the links are updated for the published links it shows that there is no link but when we check the link it is still there only but it is for some websites only.
Sending the follow-up emails according to it the scheduled time. So it makes it easy for the user and we don't have to go and recheck all the emails inorder to send the follow-up emails.
Ive been using this software for two months and it is very user friendly
This site often crashes and is not reliable
Distribution / realized we have problems
Buzzstream's contact/email discovery tools sometimes work like magic - The info it finds is typically reliable. Also, the combination of outreach and contact management in one app is really valuable, though this is hindered by the app's slow response and bugginess.
Unfortunately, Buzzstream's platform is slow. And I mean REALLY slow. As someone who uses mass email regularly, the fact that even with automation software it can take up to two minutes to send an email (dealing with contact conflicts and custom variables), the platform is far too slow to handle that kind of work. I've also had Buzzstream: -Lose contacts -Lose data on my email campaigns -Freeze in the middle of mass outreach (hours of wasted time) However, one of the biggest draws is the lack of compartmentalization between users on the platform. It doesn't make sense that the account for one company would share any and all information between, for instance, PR and SEO. This makes for conflict and confusion when we're going after different contacts within the same organization, or trying to run white-labeled campaigns for clients.
Buzzstream solves the problem of email management with outreach, with some degree of success. The epitome of a platform like this would be something flexible, fast, informationally restricted by user (if so desired), and powerful for discovering contacts. Buzzstream excels at contact discovery, which was my most unexpected benefit of the platform, but it falls short at providing the email CRM power I'm looking for.
