What do you like best about the product?
We used AddThis for years without an issue until we lost years of likes.

What do you dislike about the product?
AddThis have damaged our social proof and our site ranking. Our website has lost hundreds of likes for our blog posts since September. At first, AddThis staff told our company they would need 4 weeks to resolve the issue. We patiently waited 4 weeks, contacted them again, and they said it was taking longer than usual. Every few weeks we email AddThis support and each time they had the same response. We are working on it. Two weeks ago they responded saying they would reach out to Facebook about their endpoint issue. I have since spoken to other companies having the same issue. We built those likes over a decade with our hard-earned marketing $ and writing efforts and the AddThis social buttons have cost us dearly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As above. It was good for social like buttons until we lost them.

None, unless you like fiddling with code.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need this program it will help you tremendously.

What do you like best about the product?
It's simple to setup and its dashboard provides a lot of insights. The easier and nicest way I found to let my visitors share our content and follow our social networks. And it's free!

What do you dislike about the product?
That's not my case but in some sites the buttons cover parts of the website, disturbing the navigation. Most of the times I think the fault is on the site itself but I'm not sure.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having a useful floating social sharing tool and follow button on all of my pages.

What do you like best about the product?
That it can easily be incorporated into your website. I like the analytics very much. I like being able to let people share what they see.

What do you dislike about the product?
That you cannot control the layout of the text better, or the size of the banners. I wish there were more background images offered instead of the young and hip. I wish that you could time the banner to close after a few seconds.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to use and implement right away

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to see what is popular with customers, and work with the landing page to optimize it if there are no sales, but lots of visibility.

What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use and to embed the code on my website. Like how you don't have to continually re embed the code, but it automatically changes on your website as you change it in the admin panel. Saves a lot of time and frustration!

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, enjoy the software and all of its features

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Social media presence with my medical recruiting jobs and candidate attraction

What do you like best about the product?
The widget is a powerful tool, it allows me to analyze data from social sharing and cross my campaigns, allowing me to know if my actions are reaching the segments I'm looking for. On top of that it is easy to use and allows you to make it available to the team. Great for UX teams and marketing people.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only problem is that in the free version removes some tools that could be released with some restrictions, as is the case of button customization. But at no time is this a problem for the use of other free-to-use tools.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of the problems solved was the constant creation (and maintenance) of new tools for sharing analysis. Also, with the AddThis I can cross-mine my data with Google's campaigns, effectively showing my content as well as email marketing campaigns.

What do you like best about the product?
I liked their pitch. their data seemed to be strong based on where their pixels are placed and how many sites they are collecting data from. I like their ability to run the data the collect in a self service capacity . their merge should help with some improvements down the road.

What do you dislike about the product?
performance was not strong and the sales rep was CREEPY. performance on the data did not hold up to their promise. the set up was not easy and extremely delayed. Had syncing issues between DSP and Add This.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
After getting acquired, they gave up. Add this does not have a strong self service platform and i need to rely on sales reps to build segments correctly . I had problems syncing their data to dsps as it took way longer than i had expected it to take based on how long competitors take to both build pools of audiences and port them over to a DSP on behalf of my client. Find less sketchy sales reps who are familiar with data as an industry.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
i am looking for stronger data to target newer users in their platform. Fresh data allows us to target the most appropriately and give the most relevant ads and also collect the most relevant users bases

What do you like best about the product?
We are quickly able to add this tool to our webpages and it's very user-friendly. Different versions that we can embed make it very convenient for our different site needs.

What do you dislike about the product?
The price structure per clicks and engagements is not preferred. Wish there was also more customization abilities.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely check it out. Worth the investment to at least see if it fits your business goals. Very easy to use.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're easily able to add social sharing elements to our web pages to encourage our audience to share.

What do you like best about the product?
AddThis is an affordable tool for adding and tracking social sharing to your blog or website. My team uses it for a variety of different things, but I primarily focus on the social performance of our content and AddThis allows me to easily do so. I love how simple the dashboard is and how easy it is to export CSV files to compare week over week performance.

What do you dislike about the product?
AddThis meets my needs, there isn't really anything I dislike about the product. More social sharing features would be a nice addition, like the ability to create a click to tweet directly within the tool with customized verbiage.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a simple and intuitive tool to track your social content sharing, this is the one for you. It's easy to use and isn't too obtrusive on your blog. You can also customize the look and feel of the buttons to something that suits your blog style.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're trying to encourage and track social sharing on our blog. Since adding the AddThis buttons, we've seen an increase in the amount of social shares from our website.

What do you like best about the product?
The plugin of addthis is easy to implement on the website and allows to add sharing features to all pages in a quick way. We customized the design of the buttons, and we are also able to set the title, description and image that addthis should use (we used the Open Graph protocoll). The dashboard is easy to use and I can analyze main KPIs. I also receive email alert in case I can a spike traffic on the website.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some customization are only available in the pro version, and I would like to have more KPIs on the dashboard.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The contents of my websites and blog are easy to be shared and I can have control on the contents that get a good number of shares.

What do you like best about the product?
Its easy to use. You dont have to learn different API or expert in source code development

What do you dislike about the product?
It should have more control over some of the API's

Recommendations to others considering the product:
More social networking control on the plugin.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is making sharing of my content of my blog easily. I dont have to develop code for each social networking site and user can choose from variety of the social plugin.

What do you like best about the product?
Great looking and relatively easy to install tool. Every website definitely needs a social media sharing/following buttons, so this free tool is a great choice.

What do you dislike about the product?
The installation could have been easier. Apparently, I was missing some step in WordPress, but that wasn't really explained upfront, so I had to contact customer support. Still, for a free tool - great!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In this day and age, you can't really have a website that doesn't have any social sharing/following buttons - this is an easy way to fill that gap.
