Which one would you choose for your hotel, why ?

If we had to choose one for our hotel, it will probably be "ReviewPro" because we think that the tools offered by this company are much more complete. First, you can find a dashboard with the most important data concerning the hotel (guest satisfaction, global review index, competition analysis).
Then you can find "tracking" that allows you to see and check the different comments but also select the comments between the bad, neutral and good ones, the langage, the different sources...
In the third place, there is "Task" that allows to create a task and manage it and set priorities. Then, competition, which allows you to compare your results with the competition. In fifth place, there is "semantic", which allows you to do a semantic analysis of different subjects. It alerts you if someone is writing about your hotel and offers a monitoring of all elements. Finally, you find "search", which allows you to search a key word.
