Overview
How each tool is described
Sprinklr Insights
What is Sprinklr Insights?
Sprinklr Insights is an enterprise consumer intelligence platform that analyzes social, digital, review, media, visual, and owned customer data to track brand perception, competitors, market trends, product feedback, location performance, and reputation risks. It combines social listening with competitive intelligence, product and location insights, visual intelligence, and media monitoring in the broader Sprinklr platform.
- Intelligence role: Social Listening, Competitive Insights and Benchmarking, Product Insights, Location Insights, Visual Insights, and Media Monitoring & Analytics bring external consumer and market signals into one research environment. Sprinklr can also combine public sources with internal and owned data such as surveys, CRM, CDP, and other customer-feedback sources.
- AI analysis: Sprinklr AI analyzes sentiment, emotion, themes, images, and anomalies across large volumes of unstructured data. Sprinklr Copilot supports conversational research and dashboard exploration, while generative AI features can summarize findings, investigate root causes, and surface recommended next actions.
- Operational fit: real-time alerts, case creation, routing, and action plans can move emerging issues from listening dashboards into operational workflows for marketing, product, research, PR, and service teams rather than leaving them as passive reports.
- Commercial considerations: Sprinklr has discontinued its Self-Serve products and now directs prospective customers to its Enterprise platform through a personalized demo and sales process. Existing Self-Serve services ended on April 30, 2026, so self-service is no longer an active purchasing option.
Sprinklr Insights is particularly relevant to large organizations that need broad consumer listening, competitive intelligence, reputation monitoring, and AI-assisted analysis connected across multiple customer-facing functions.
Talkwalker
What is Talkwalker?
Talkwalker, now Lumen by Talkwalker, is a social listening, media monitoring, and consumer intelligence platform for brands, agencies, communications teams, and insights professionals. The rebrand reflects Talkwalker's closer integration with Hootsuite, while retaining the same core data, reports, workflows, and integrations.
- Monitoring and benchmarking: Lumen tracks conversations about brands, competitors, campaigns, industries, and emerging topics across more than 30 social platforms and approximately 150 million web sources. Teams can use real-time alerts, dashboards, reports, historical analysis, social benchmarking, sentiment data, and conversation trends to monitor reputation and market activity.
- AI analysis: Talkwalker's Blue Silk AI supports sentiment and seven-emotion analysis, logo and video recognition, speech-to-text, semantic Conversation Clusters, and forecasting of metrics such as mentions, reach, and engagement. Its generative AI capabilities can classify conversations and summarize large datasets, dashboards, reports, alerts, and sudden conversation spikes.
- Consumer and customer intelligence: Public social and media conversations can be analyzed alongside reviews, surveys, support interactions, and other owned customer-feedback data. This allows teams to examine reputation, customer needs, campaign response, product issues, audience sentiment, and emerging risks without limiting analysis to public social posts alone.
- Plans and enterprise scale: Pricing is quote-based, with current Core, Analyze, and Business plans. Core includes social listening, media monitoring, dashboards, alerts, AI summaries, AI Agent access, and LLM Insights; Analyze increases results volume and topic/channel capacity; Business adds substantially higher result volumes, more historical data, additional AI usage, more workspaces, and enterprise governance capabilities. All current plans include unlimited users.
Lumen by Talkwalker is most relevant to organizations that need broad, continuous intelligence across social, web, media, and customer-feedback sources rather than isolated social-media monitoring. Its value depends on required data breadth, historical depth, reporting complexity, AI-analysis needs, and whether the resulting intelligence is used across PR, marketing, consumer research, and customer-experience teams.
