Bazaarvoice Ratings & Reviews vs EmbedSocial

Bazaarvoice Ratings & Reviews helps brands and retailers gather customer feedback and show it across online shopping channels. Shoppers can submit ratings, reviews, questions, photos, and videos for multiple purchased products using multi-product forms. Review Highlights uses natural language processing and industry-specific sentiment analysis to summarize review themes as pros and cons. The described displays are photo-first, mobile-responsive, and designed for SEO. Insights & Reports provides analytics on user-generated content’s sales impact, sentiment, and product innovation opportunities. Brands can distribute reviews through Bazaarvoice’s retailer network, while retailers can receive content from brands in that network. A Shopify integration synchronizes a storefront’s product catalog, order data, and customer feedback. Enterprise clients have access to a package of APIs, including Conversations, Response, Mobile SDKs, and Webhooks; Response API use requires Enterprise, application development, and substantial technical resources. Essentials lists collection and display templates, reporting, and standard support. Advanced adds Questions & Answers, text-message review collection, and dedicated Client Success support. Enterprise includes expanded platform flexibility and premium Client Success offerings. Pricing is available on request.
