We moved over to YouScan from Brandwatch. Brandwatch started to feel like they had given up on it and were focused on Falcon, their social platform. I have been using Brandwatch since 2018 and the amount of new features and tools they had developed were very low. YouScan feels like the opposite of that. Everyone from the CEO, the VP of Sales, our account manager and everyone I’ve messaged in their support team is keen, eager to help and we’ve so far loved our experience of both the new technologies that YouScan offers. They have a startup mentality and it shows—we’re all super excited about our partnership with them.
