Thanks Jason for some very useful information. I'm trying to decide between ScoutLabs, Alterian, Radian6 and ViralHeat so finding this post on Google was a big help. I think I'll give ViralHeat a spin.

Excellent post! Thank you Jason! I was looking for a low-price tool (at least compared with the big players, like SM2 or Radian 6) for my agency to handle a few clients while still providing the necessary metrics to do a good job and your review helped me a lot. Thanks again.

Thanks for sharing, Mike. Can't disagree with your assessment. I wish I had
more time to test more deeply, but thank you for sharing your results.

Thanks Marshall. Great read through your post just now. Lots of information
to digest there. I think we both agree that it's a nice solution, but could
use some work. Still, for the price, it's rock solid. Thanks for diving in a
layer or 10 more than I do! Heh.

Good post. We made a evaluation for a Swiss Brand of Radian6, Sysomos, Viralheat, Scoutlabs and some other. At viralheat many interaction elements were missing. We think it's a nice monitoring tool for US small caps. Some steps ahead of trackur.

But the important concerns from our non-english perspective:
- Language and country includes/excludes where not possible
- Complex queries and filters were hard to set up or not possible
- Important sources/posts where missing, especially important german and swiss blogs

We use Radian6 and Sysomos right now. Scoutlabs is on our watch list, because they are doing a really good job (but US centric).
