What do you like best about the product?
The whole organisation can read company news and reports and can share them on their social media, which does a lot of intent generation

What do you dislike about the product?
Not sure, if its how our platform is setup, but i can only share content on a few social sites

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To get educated and keep up with company news as well as the industry reports we work on and when all employees share the same topic on social handles, this helps to create brand awareness

I like how easy it is to upload things into Bambu. I like the featured feature and the ability to see how many shares things have.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish you didn't have to be an admin to go back and edit something, has been a nuisance for us. Also wish there was a way to see all stories.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping us get more views and engagement on our content.

What do you like best about the product?
Bambu allows our team to stay connected to many auxiliary social sites & curate one content stream that's both relevant & engaging. This allows our brand to have one presence online and enables me to shape the influence of my own brand. Bambu ensures that I never have to struggle thinking about a social post that isn't relevant to my core audience that I seek engagement from.

What do you dislike about the product?
Bambu's interface is simple to use. Within a few clicks, I've already selected my content & posted accordingly. At this moment, there are no recommendations or dislikes with this product. It's simple & does what I hoped it would.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bambu helps with grass-roots marketing engagement from all individuals interested in maintaining their personal brand on social while providing them the opportunity to align with the direction of the corporate brand. It's not required but the benefits have been measurable - more eyes on our brand from personas that many on our team already actively engage with in sales cycles. Word-of-mouth marketing helps infiltrate tight-knit social circles where a lot of business either gets its wings or never leaves the ground.

I like that Bambu is easy to learn and navigate. It is not overly complex and works seamlessly. I never have trouble logging in or using the platform. It is a really good tool.

What do you dislike about the product?
We have Bambu set up to share to Linkedin, Twitter, Facebook, and share by email. It would be great if Bambu could share to even more services. Although this might be specific to how we have it configured.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being at a company that is growing very quickly and that puts out a lot of marketing activities and thought leadership content, it is crucial that we have a way to organize articles/posts about our announcements and leverage our individual employees' professional networks to disseminate information.

Make sure your employees are reminded that the tool is available to them and when there is new content available on the site!

The ability for our company to write posts for our employees and share them across social channels. It assures that our social posts are consistent throughout the company.

What do you like best about the product?
This is an easy to use tool, and is good fun to review the Leaderboard across our departments & teams as well as scheduling out content shares/social selling features throughout any given week.

What do you dislike about the product?
It seems a bit "hiding in plain sight" to create a unique, new story or share. This could be brought more to the forefront, rather than precanned content that our Marketing team has provided.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting eyes on insight data / partnering with our Marketing team - who views my content, etc. I like the ease of scheduling cadenced social shares to LinkedIn instead of needing to log in daily and make this part of my routine. The "Set it and forget it" mentality works well with Bambu!

What do you like best about the product?
The platform is easy to navigate, and there isn't much of a learning curve.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sprout does not allow sharing to Instagram; it does not have an option to share original content, only reshares. There are minimal insights to be gained beyond LinkedIn and Twitter, and even then, only on reshares. Invites expire rather quickly, which causes problems onboarding new members.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
This might work if you want full-time employees to share company updates periodically, but it is not effective for a brand ambassador program.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We attempted to streamline our brand ambassador program with Bambu, but it has not been effective.

I love how user-friendly it is and how you can send newsletters directly from the platform. you can even integrate it into slack and send updates on new posts into different slack groups.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn't say I like how it is separate from Sprout Social. I know they are working on integrating it better, but it is a hassle as two platforms. Even the analytics is seperate.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great tool, and within the next year, they should have it more integrated into SS, which is the main issue right now.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem I am solving with this is employees are no longer posting on their own and using the wrong messaging. Benefits: Employees seemed more engaged with Bambu than other advocacy platforms.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are making it easy for people to post on their different channels without them having to put much effort into creating their own posts. This gives the company more wide spread awareness the more that we share.

I love how easy to use the tool is. In just a short 15-minute company-wide session, employees were onboarded and already using the tool with no problems. As the Admin, it was very simple to set up and maintain. Also love the ability to create teams and share relevant content per department, industry, role, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
Cannot tag companies or user profiles when drafting post copy to be shared with employees.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brand awareness and content distribution. The marketing team did not have a strong lead generation strategy through content distribution, and many times great content would be wasted just sitting on the blog and not being shared in channels, communities, forums, etc. Through employee advocacy, content was widely shared and the employees were also building their own brand that was aligned with where the worked and the industries they knew best.

Benefits include the ease of use for not only those creating the posts but also those resharing it.

What do you like best about the product?
Very simple and easy to use, which means greater adoption. Users don't get sidetracked with unnecessary functionality.

What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a bit messy. There is no clear way to organize your content that makes it easier for the user to understand what they are looking at without going in and reading. The reporting and broadcasting capabilities are relatively limited. No full view of company social + advocacy activities.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are other more expensive options out there that are more robust. Consider budget vs. capabilities requirements.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Before Bambu we were unable to track the impact of employee advocacy or even who was posting. Now we have a centralized view of our employees activity, great reports for the impact of their shares, and it creates a centralized place for all employees to go and share content.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Simple, minimal, and intuitive dashboard makes social sharing easier. The leaderboard has photos and it encourages people to be more involved. Gamification is key.

The leaderboard only shows sharing - they should also provide the option to show engagements / clicks. Showing only shares encourage thoughtless sharing and borderline spamming.

What do you like best about the product?
The concept and the pricing are both great. Having the app for the employees is also helpful.

What do you dislike about the product?
The scoring is wrong. Sincerely. It's the total number of followers multiplied by the number of posts. Given the algorithms, there's no way these numbers are correct. Ex: We had an employee get her tweet retweeted by an account with a significant number of followers but she didn't get a bump. On top of that, there's no real way for users to contribute content. Top admins have to approve what is submitted but even that has to be in a certain category. Also, everything has to be done in the app. So if your employee can't like/share/comment on a post and get points.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ask yourself what you're truly looking for. Gamification or easy access to social posts? Bambu is more so beneficial for the latter at this point.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has helped with overall audience acquisition and website traffic. This and awareness.

The Bambu platform offers a simple way for our team to share social media content and engage with their followers.

Every person I have engaged with has been knowledgeable and has gone out of his/her way to assist. They have ensured our success with the product.

My favorite thing about Bambu is that it allows us to connect and share brand messages consumer to consumer through the employee advocacy platform. This capability removes the fourth wall in social media communication. While our messages remain the same, the initial touch point is more familiar.

What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't a lot that we dislike about Bambu. If there's one thing I could change it would be the ability to use custom messaging in the weekly content newsletter. Other than that, everything is seamless in the Bambu platform.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Bambu is a simple way to get your employees engaged in company messaging. Likewise, it helps employees by creating tailored content to help them curate their own social platforms.

What do you dislike about the product?
After you've scheduled a social media post, there isn't an easy way to see which posts are scheduled for which days/times. You need to click into the scheduled post in order to view that information.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure that for each post, you provide a number of options that your employees can choose from. Its a little weird when everyone posts the exact same tweet.

Increasing employee advocacy to help improve our social presence and brand awareness.

I like how easy it is to curate content. The variety of ways that we can share is also a big highlight for me. I think my favorite thing is being able to upload ReTweet links so our employees can easily share tweets with the click of a button.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish we could share videos. I think that is really the only major content type that is not supported at this time.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Bambu is very useful if you want to ensure your employees are sharing the best content from your company at any given time. I have been blown away with the superior customer service from our rep and their support team to any bugs are addressed quickly and that we have all the tools we need to make using this product a massive success for our business.

Ease of use, the clean user experience, and how quickly you can roll Bambu out in an organization.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to see an Instagram integration. So more of a suggestion than a dislike. There is really nothing I dislike.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sign your agreement and get started with Bambu immediately! We saw an ROI in three months when comparing the price to paid social media placement with traditional native advertising outlets and PPC.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bambu allowed our sales team to become active on social media with on-brand messages. Previously they did not have the time and did not feel comfortable sharing anything on social. It also allowed us to bring in other business units and start breaking down barriers within our organization at a tactical level that we had previously been unable to do. The information sharing that is now going on between department because of Bambu is credible and the social media impression power keeps growing at a pace that is faster than we could ever have ever accomplished on our own.

What do you like best about the product?
The Bambu platform is extremely clean and sleek. Our teams needed very minimal training to feel comfortable with the tool because it is so intuitive and easy to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only part of Bambu that is somewhat challenging is that it's difficult to switch between and admin role and user role. It would be great to be logged in as a manager, but be able to switch to a "member" view to see what our users see.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The team at Bambu is one of the best I've encountered in the social space. I've worked with a lot of companies, but the Bambu team is responsive, helpful and knowledgeable. They also take suggestions very seriously! We've already seen updates made based off of suggestions we've made.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest thing we've solved is simplifying our employee engagement program. Bambu gives our employees confidence in the content they're posting and makes them feel more comfortable talking about our company on social media.

It gets our content in front of our current or potential customers by using the social media account our employees already have. Through this we increase the exposure of our curated content with every Bambu share.

We would like more customized reporting so we can pull data the way we would like.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Work closely with your Bambu contacts to learn tips and tricks on using the system as well as getting buy-in from leadership and employees.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bambu allows us to get our custom marketing content in front of more potential customers. It also enables our sales staff to become thought leaders in our industry without working harder to do so. We have seen massive impression increases on the 3 major social media platforms that we could not achieve with our business accounts alone. Our blog visits have also increased using Bambu due to the sharing of that content.

We use Bamboo within our agency to have competitions where we can see what departments can gain the largest audience by posting FB/Twitter/etc. happenings to their friends and followers. This means they can post across multiple social media accounts from one quick login and the exposure our company gets through all of this sharing is just great!~

What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to be able to post across all of the social platforms from one dialogue box/window... but I understand the limitations of the program.

The User Interface is clean and simple, making it easy to use as an admin as well as a user. The platform's features are instinctive no matter what level of comfort you have with technology and social tools. I like that I can review metrics on both who's sharing and the content being shared.

What do you dislike about the product?
The single thing I'm not using much is the Facebook post direct share feature. It doesn't "look" like the Facebook post when you're reviewing the available stories list in the platform, so it's less appealing to share.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We produce so much content in any given month that it's hard to share it all without constant emails to the team. So, the weekly digest coupled with the ease of sharing makes it so much easier for our team to see what's being produced.

There is nothing to dislike about Bambu. They are a great partner to work with. If there are certain features they don't offer currently that you are looking for, most likely it will be coming in the future. They are always adding new features.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Their customer support is amazing. They truly want to see you be successful and will assist in alway they can to ensure that you are.

I love that even our least tech-savvy users are able to use Bambu easily. It allows us to share news and insights with our agents so they can share what's most relevant to their own spheres.

What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to be able to add multiple Facebook accounts (A page and a personal profile.)

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you can, start with Single Sign On, rather than switching to it after rollout, but the SSO is worth it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
During busy market times, real estate agents don't have a lot of time to curate content to share with their spheres on social media. Bambu makes it easy for us to provide them with high-quality, locally-focused content. It allows us to support our agents' social media efforts and empowering them to be more pro-active on social media.

What do you dislike about the product?
I think the implementation strategy could have been defined a a little more clearly leading up to the roll-out.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have employees all over the country who are constantly asking where our content is and what stories CDK has to tell.

Make sure that you have a programme to get people involved in this before you try to get the company involved.

I wish that impressions/reach was based on actual reach and not simply the number of followers. Honestly though the things that I've disliked in the past have been resolved through updates. The team pays attention to what users are requesting and adds features.

Easy to use for administrators and end users. Bambu support takes suggestions for improvements very seriously and have been great to work with as the product is always improving. The analytics are very good and you can divide them by tags, teams, etc. They've recently added a way to share images natively for Facebook and Twitter, which is awesome.

What do you dislike about the product?
Bambu doesn't currently integrate with their social media management tool, Sprout Social. They are in the process of hopefully making this possible.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
We researched many employee engagement platforms and Bambu, for the price, is the best among them. We've been on the platform for about a year and a half and have added another company to the program due to the first company's success. Great group to work with.

We use it to share our brand content with employees and contractors so the can easily share messaging through their own social channels.

What do you like best about the product?
A very intuitive user interface makes it very easy to learn for widespread adoption. Integrations via Zapier are also helpful in curating content into the platform from RSS tools like Feedly.

What do you dislike about the product?
As a system admin, it would be nice to be able share stories that have been curated into the platform on your company's corporate social media page instead of your personal pages. At the moment that is not possible, which requires maintaining several different systems for social media management. Full disclosure, we do not use SproutSocial as a social media management platform. Integration between Bambu and SproutSocial is getting tighter and we may consider moving over in the near future.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
They are currently working in tighter integration between the flagship product (SproutSocial) and Bambu, as well as introducing more gamification features.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Leveraging our employees to share approved content has yielded better results than some of the more traditional advertising we've invested in previously. The month after we implemented this platform in December of 2016 we saw a 930% increase in website traffic / month which is still trending upwards in April of 2017.

What do you dislike about the product?
While this isn't the best practice, I wish there was a way to autopublish some posts to social media; sometimes its hard to get my team to follow through and this option would eliminate that. I also wish there were more detailed analytics (i.e. click throughs). Would be especially great if it had a HubSpot integration.

The people behind Bambu, from sales to account/tech support are amazing. They've deftly handled some challenging requests from our side, and have been great communicators with our team along the way. They seem genuinely interested in partnering with us and helping us succeed.

What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much to dislike here. A year ago, their product was lacking some features that other competitors had, but they've caught up since then.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our social media presence has been transformed by Bambu. Our corporate feed is richer and more diverse, and we're pushing less corporate content as our employees take the wheel.

What do you like best about the product?
When using Bambu, I like the ability to see aggregated content from my social channels and I could then decide what I wanted to share and when. Having a digest of sorts saved me a lot of time.

What do you dislike about the product?
Overall, I did not have any issues with the platform and I enjoyed using it.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would say run a pilot with a small group of individuals to gauge user adoption before purchasing the product.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to get our leaders to share more content and become more comfortable with social media. We often received the response of "I don't have time" "I don't know how this works" but after a few trainings and realizing all it required was 10-20 minutes a week to develop and maintain a stronger online presence, they were in. Content is key for any organization and the SME should be the one promoting the content in the channels.

What do you like best about the product?
The product itself fills a niche need within the industry, and it's simple and intuitive for people to use. You don't need to be a social media expert to be part of an influencer program.

What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of communication options from Bambu itself. There is no way to break down who should receive a digest email on what days at what times, nor is there a way to customize or personalize newsletters. This would greatly improve the communication functionality of the tool in my opinion.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to connect with our internal influencers and give them a platform to engage with the outside world. Prior to using Bambu, we had no centralized system or way to connect with our many sites and socially savvy employees.

Easy curation and automatic share counts

No control over incorrect usage from team

Recommendations to others considering the product:
The key is to set the right expectations with your employees. If you aren't seeing the results you want it isn't because of Bambu.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We no longer have to manually review and count up employee sharing. The main feature of our advocacy program is the points behind it and company morale.

Nothing yet! We just launched the program internally.

What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can provide suggested share text for articles curated in Bambu to make sharing as easy as a couple of clicks for staff! We've seen great participation in employee sharing with the implementation of Bambu.

What do you dislike about the product?
I wish Bambu would integrate more closely with Sprout Social. It would be nice to be able to curate articles and share text for both employees and our corporate accounts at the same time!

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Bambu was an easy choice. Not only is the tool well-designed and easy to use, they have phenomenal customer service and account reps that help from planning, to implementation, and even content curation services!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our staff is the most valuable resource in the company. We know word of mouth is much more effective than any advertising campaign will ever be. To be able to have our staff amplify our messages in the form of thought leadership articles, blog posts, and product and company news is invaluable!

This platform offers a simple way for us to share with our followers online and cultivate content.

The features and functionality continue to evolve, which is great, but also a little confusing as when you're finally used to a portion of the site, it changes.

I wish I could see everyone who shared and not just the top 5.

What do you like best about the product?
A few things: I love that it is created by Sprout Social because I am a user of that as well and have had a great experience. Even though the two are not connected currently, I think it is something that can happen for the future. I also love how easy it is to use. While they offer training for your ambassadors you really don't need it! The function to create different groups to send articles to is great as well because we have a ton of people globally and it is easy to put our execs in one category and sales team in the other.

What do you dislike about the product?
I would like the ability to have your users who are not admins be able to send content to admins to curate. Working for the marketing team at an event company, we have a ton of events that we attend with different sales members at both. However, the marketing team can't be there. If our users could send the admins suggestions for posts to distribute it would be great to take it out of email and make it easy for the locals in that area to share.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking to get your company involved with marketing and promotion this is the perfect tool for you. Easy to use, engaged team, and they will be able to support you in whatever way they can!

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are getting our team members involved with sharing our content. Our company is known to be thought leaders in the industry and the best way to spread our message is with an active and engaged community. Bambu has helped us to get our team members on board and keep them in the loop on what content we are sharing. It also limits the fear that someone is going to push out a message that is unfavorable, because you have the ability to put a default message it.

What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much to dislike! I have been extremely happy with this product, especially with the updates ever so often that are making the product better.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have been able to get more employees aware and involved with content that we are producing and are able to push out more content to our audience.
