BuzzSumo reviews

What I like about Buzzsumo is Keyword relevancy, usage, and engagement. Whenever I deal with content writing for my clients, I use Buzzsumo to make sure I have the right Keywords so that my content will be relevant as much as possible.

Maybe it’s the learning curve, even though I’m using it always whenever I write content, sometimes it takes time to know the total power of this tool. Also, the pricing is a little bit high for SMBs and Solopreneurs.

It have al kind of options to search for the most engaging content, than it directs you to the article itself, shows you backlinks.

Not usfull for all industries. IT and very tech savy fields can't really find useful answers there

To fit my budget. Friendly customer support.

Social media integrations are not strong. There are not enough tools for the workflow.

I was always a fan of the Content Analyzer but the new Topic Explorer is awesome! It's great for content ideas based on what people are actually looking for online.

I don't use influencers much so I don't get to use this feature. Who knows? Maybe in the future.

I love how you can use this to increase your SEO and any campaigns for marketing. I have also been able to see which content is working best.

The price can be a little scary to some people - it must build enough value for them to use it.

Buzzsumo is loaded with goodness. For our own content management, it's hugely fascinating to be able to view backlinks, track popularity, and explore new ideas that are taking off in the blogosphere.

It'd be great if more features were free!

The ability to look at social metrics that are hard to find with other software and I like being able to see what is doing well, so that I can make more of that content.

It took a little longer to get a hold of how to use all of the tools, but once I did it worked great.

BuzzSumo offers an easy way to research content from other sites. You can easily research great content ideas which are currently viral. This ensures you get the right content out at the right time.

There is any cons except that there is very limited resources on the free plan which makes it very difficult to test all the features before you purchase.

With today's digital age, maintaining an online presence is necessary and through Buzz Sumo you can research for digital content and find out various influencers that can give you a marketing spark!

Small learning curve but is easy after multiple uses and not difficult to get into. The price also can be a little steep but is worth it if your goal is to revamp marketing and content.

The tool is easy to use and delivers what it promises. They have the most complete dataset to feed your online content marketing strategy.

The subscription prices are very high, making it a hard choice for smaller businesses.

Influencer Marketing plays a key armour in todays digital marketing. Creating content that is trending and viral remains a daunting task. BuzzSumo plays a critical role in filling that gap. It can throw thousands of key words related to your category, trending topics and relevant subjects to create content instantly and get better outcome for your content.

Since this is a unique tool could not find much of gaps to my disliking.

It is a highly versatile software. It feels like a Swiss Army Knife. I use it mostly to find backlinks to the site and to find questions people ask about keywords. BuzzSumo is really to keep up to date on certain topics. The alerts are a great feature. Very easy to customize and offer greats insights into customer behavior.

The value is undisputed but the price of 99$ per month is very high. I think they are just focusing on big companies. As a small company, you have to make sure you make the most out of it if you buy it.

BuzzSumo's alert and media monitoring are excellent. It picks up a considerable amount of media that other services miss. The tool is also intuitive and easily adjusted to cater to changing client needs. The ability to assess the social impact of published media is also extremely useful.

In future iteration, I would like the ability to look at more historic data. Retroactive media monitoring can be a real pain point.

Amazing insights into the most shared content on your topic or keyword. Social impact and going viral is a huge part of modern digital marketing and Buzzsumo proves industry best tools for discovering trending topics. You can also easily find out who the "Influencers" are for your keywords making the process much easier on who to establish networking relationships with that could turn into valuable "mentions" which brings up another great aspect of BuzSumo: Content Alerts, the software will scour the internet and alert you anytime your keyword is mentioned on a website, blog, social media, etc. If you are an Agency this is a no-brainer tool for your digital marketing toolbox.

A little bit pricey for small businesses and solo site entrepreneurs but great value for Agencies & larger businesses (Hows that for a mixed con ;-) )

One of the problems with having an in depth tool with a very complete feature set is that it can be a bit overwhelming when you are new to the buzzsumo service or keyword research in general. So in some respects having a very robust, in-depth research tool which is certainly a positive aspect can also be a bit of a con to first time users and those new to Keyword Research in General. I'd love to see a "Getting Started" interface with the most important features, then be able to toggle on all the features or an "Advanced View". In all fairness, they have a very good tutorial and help section.

Buzzsumo is a brilliant tool that can save you a lot of time, marketing efforts, stress and hassle. It is not even a tool, it is a machine that can get your content strategy back on track and inspire you on a daily basis. I hit the content jackpot not once and not twice thanks to Buzzsumo. Identifying what content works wonders has never been easier, and I can't imagine my everyday work without Buzzsumo.

I am trying to think of any cons, but I struggle to find them. Pricing may be a bit offputting, but Buzzsumo is totally worth it. Also, if it only had a mobile app, then my life would be complete. ;)

I like the custom filters which I can set up for keywords and create RSS feeds out of it. They then go into our writer's RSS readers to ensure the most important stories are on the top.

Not much. I hope they improve their core purpose instead of trying to tackle every other problem.

Incredibly easy to use, especially for people new to or inexperienced with digital marketing.

They recently changed the order columns export to excel, which is kind of annoying.

I like the fact that lets you explore any topic in a certain amount of time. It lets you check the most popular articles which include a chosen keyword, so it makes it easy for you to for example check the marketing trends in 2016. What's more you can use it as a news service, cause it can give you a daily sum up of most popular articles connected with some topic. We also use it to find interesting influencers and journalists to follow on Twitter.

Actually I don't see here any cons. Maybe the only thing I'd add is some better quality of Twitter influencers connected with some topics. Sometimes there're people with a lot of followers, who only retweet others not creating their own thoughts.

I really like the tool, especially the "questions" part. It's really useful for your influencer's strategy and for your backlinks strategy as well.

Maybe too many email alerts but that can probably be configured. Other than that, I love the tool and use it all the time.

Great for research and SEO purposes, I really like it, its simple and easy to use, with a really straight forward interface.

Trial offers very limited capabilities, only for the trial I wouldn't get convinced until a friend show to me how it works

The tool itself allows for a quick insight into the performance of articles on social media - including Facebook which not many social listening tools can provide. It also allows you to deep dive into the drivers of Facebook engagement if published on a public page - super handy!

It’s chinese and kanji Japanese detecting capabilities are sometimes not accurate unfortunately. You also can’t filter by US accurately as it uses the (.us) filter domain - so manual filtering has to sometimes be done.
