Why Is a Competitor Analysis Platform Critical to Your Business?

In order to outperform the competition, you need a competitor analysis solution that can help you understand the competitive landscape and your audience. 

  • 90% of Fortune 500 companies practice competitive intelligence. (McKinsey)
  • 72% of business leaders say that their organizations will be vulnerable to market disruptions as technology makes it easier for new entrants to enter the market, meaning there is always a new competitor to keep an eye on. (Harvard Business Review)
  • On average, 88% of the data companies have is unused, leaving businesses without critical insights on their internal operations — as well as competitors. (Forrester Newsroom)

"Every two weeks we use Meltwater to review what our competitors are doing both nationally and worldwide. We can see if they launched a special promotion and discover if we had any share of voice within this digital domain.
