Credit where it's due
Sprout Social describes itself as a provider of social media management software, and added Social Customer Care in 2024.
The problem isn't Sprout. The customer journey got bigger.
The core distinction
A social inbox is excellent when the problem lives on social. But customers now reach you everywhere, and enterprise customer service needs every conversation to become a ticket, a workflow, an SLA, an escalation, a quality score and customer intelligence.
Sprout describes its customer service as omni-channel with a focus on social, with integrations to leading care platforms for broader service.
Sprout helps brands care for customers on social. Konnect Insights helps brands run customer service across channels.
The journey
Customer experience grows in three stages. Each one builds on the last, and Konnect Insights takes you through all three at your own pace.
Sprout is strong at the first stage. Konnect Insights was built for the journey across all three.
