I love the white labeled, comprehensive reports I can present to clients with just a few clicks. I also couldn't live without the many automations they offer and then finally I like that my clients can have their own access to their Social Report projects.

False advertisement. I tried contacting them numerous times to see what I was missing as it advertises itself to provide a rather in depth report and they ignored my calls, emails, and messages. If you check with the BBB they have a D+ rating.

It could support more social networks. Also Google+ functionality only allows you to post to a page rather than your profile.
