Need a good social media monitoring tool

I need social media monitoring tool, any recommendations?

If your brands are enterprise level, Hootsuite has extremely impressive, but expensive tools.

Rival IQ is the best for keeping up with the competition.

Rowfeeder is slick for pulling in hashtags and the like to comb through.

Meshfire's doing interesting things around finding influencers and creating Twitter lists for you, but depends on size and scope.

Sorry was in a hurry to get this posted before my tea break

We want to keep an eye on our brands & company for mentions and negative social media activity, also need to keep an eye on competitors.

Not quite so interested in the analytic stage of the moment.

We are busy growing a major brands and haven't got time to do it manually.

Thanks

We use Sprout Social here at Moz. I agree with Bryan and Josh, though, that we'll need a bit more information about what all you're trying to do.

Can you be more specific?

• What social media platforms do you want to monitor?
• What are your key points of interest regarding analytics (meaning, what do you want monitored and to what detail)?
• Are you running campaigns, advertisements, etc. that require monitoring through the software/tool?
• Do you have any other guidelines, restrictions, or specifications for your needs?
