What makes the SoftwareReviews Data Quadrant different?   
The study involves gathering intelligence on user satisfaction with both product features and the experience with the vendor. Aggregated emotional response ratings are included in the areas of service, negotiation, product impact, conflict resolution, and strategy and innovation to create a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and its product – all from the software users’ point of view. SoftwareReviews calls this insight the Net Emotional Footprint.  
 
Hootsuite Enterprise, with a Net Emotional Footprint of +95, ranked strongly on the ability to publish to social media services such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, and more.
