Our client said

"We were trying to catch things on social media ourselves most of the time because it was so vast, most of the time we had people coming to us within the organisation saying 'Did you see this?' and 'Did you see that?'. A lot of the time we hadn’t seen it, even though we were doing everything we could to keep on top of it."
"We don't feel alone. It's like another layer of security around us, which in the age of digital and social media is actually quite remarkable to have I think. RiskEye is fantastic.”
"RiskEye manages to capture sentiment and you don't even need to take a step. That's fantastic. That's a great feedback tool for marketing and also for senior management. We get to see on a granular level in terms of the overall sentiment, not just on one main Twitter account but across everything, and RiskEye can capture that."
"In my view, every big organisation needs something like RiskEye. It's so easy to go from hero to zero with a couple of errors on social. We would be lost without RiskEye”
