What do you like best about ViralSweep?

Professional quality...its works as promised...constantly improving and upgrading the program.... a plethora of options and integrations....and some great additional features like networking with other contest brands and ability to connect with influencers make this the go-to app. I sspent over a dozen hours reviewing other apps and came back to ViralSweep again and again. Don't waste time doing the research...just go with these guys and get on with life...and business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ViralSweep?

Nothing really...couple of glitches here and there but more often than not they were of my own doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ViralSweep solving and how is that benefiting you?

I manage multiple contest campaigns and lead gen for a number of companies and need an app which would cover all the bases, not just some of them. And, I needed it to work ALL the time and have great CS. Got it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ViralSweep?

Viralsweep platform makes viral marketing so easily with the types of features it has. What makes it also interesting is the proce comparison with most top competitors. It is quite easy to use to be fair also. The amount of other third parties tools or software it easily integrate with is insane. Customer Support is decent too which is a plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ViralSweep?

The little dislike I had initially was how busy the site is because of the successful features it has online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ViralSweep?

The primary upside for me was how user friendly the platform is to navigate as a first time user. I am 'old-school' when it comes to Sweepstakes so there was some hesitation at first to learn something new. However, ViralSweep has thought through all the questions and have the answers right in front of you with various pop-ups, and videos. Additionally, my experience with Customer Support was amazing. Quick to get a hold of via chat, and Aldin was able to patiently answer everything and anything, even walking me through the individual steps when necessary. He was the clincher as to committing to the purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ViralSweep?

To be fair, I have not used the product fully enough to identity any issues. However, I am learning more and more each day. I get a little frustrated with understanding how to identify all the different fields that I can edit and create custom language, custom colors, etc. But there is no risk in making a mistake as you can just retract any edits and continue to trial and error. Plus, the last resort is to just open a Chat with customer service! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ViralSweep solving and how is that benefiting you?

The optimal benefit of ViralSweep is that it allows me to self-create, and self-edit sweepstakes on a short timeline. My team executes 60+ events a year and we often will implement a corresponding sweepstakes. ViralSweep shortens the development time and I can save and utilize many features. So, not only is it saving time but it is saving expenses, thus providing better value to the client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ViralSweep?

ViralSweep was used by our organization to conduct its annual photo contest which consists of dozens of photos which are submitted into five different galleries. Once set up and active it worked efficiently and our members were able to submit photos into the gallery of their choice with no effort. This was the first year we used the ViralSweep platform and the support needed to get it set up and working to our satisfaction was superior, almost instantaneous response to questions about how to achieve our goals. Once set up, our contest worked smoothly. Some features of the program are exactly what we needed. For example, limiting photo submissions to only one per IP address. Same for the voting, only one vote per gallery from an IP address. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ViralSweep?

Viral sweep is a very complex platform and for a first time user, it has a steep learning curve to get everything set up and working as desired. The photo contest required some workarounds to construct our five separate photo galleries with links to each one so they could submit photos. It would have been helpful after the voting on the photos was completed if the voter metadata were accessible on the "Moderate" page instead of having to match the metadata on the "Entrants" to the photos in the "Moderate" gallery.

Our nonprofit organization has an annual conference with an associated photo contest. ViralSweep is being used for the first time to conduct our photo contest and pick winners who are awarded cash prizes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ViralSweep?

How easy it was to use and ease of implementation of a sweepstake contest. The Customer support is awesome. We had a few questions and they answered and even made changes in a couple of days. We use it every quarter to run our quarterly contests. Even though we have a custom ecommerce platform it was easy to integrate. Took our developers almost no time to integrate.

If there's anything I don't like then it is the cost. I'm running sweepstakes not as a business but for my YT channel and I'm not making money with it. It's a bit pricey for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
