Likelihood to Recommend	Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus) Firstup is a well-suited solution for companies that would like to spread brand awareness and get employees to be their number one ambassadors. Employees like to share/brag about the company they work for so why not use them as a driving force in spreading brand awareness! Incentivized Anat Hazanchuk Sr. Social Media and Content Manager Read full review	Pingboard Pingboard is very much suitable for new employees to understand the organizational structure and who is handling what. This gives them the freedom to approach the right person for any work and it saves a lot of time. Also, the platform is very much convenient and secure which allows us to share it across members Incentivized Sumesh Gansar Product Marketing Manager Read full review
Pros	Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus) Intuitive, easy-to-use templates for posts, newsletters and email notifications. Consistent upgrades and innovation that keeps the tool current with other apps.

Cons	Firstup (Dynamic Signal + SocialChorus) We'd love to see a calendar added that would show key upcoming dates. It would be awesome if the Message feature had a drop-down directory you could scroll through vs. requiring you to type a few letters before the potential names came up.
