Market study: Social Listening
Choosing the right tool for social listening and sentiment analysis is not easy, because the range of solutions and platforms is very large and difficult to keep an overview of. The selection of software - or even a combination of tools - is the first and not so easy hurdle for the use of social listening,
especially for SMEs.
There are already some market studies, but they are either partly outdated, or they are not suitable for the German-speaking market.
