Online/social media monitoring tools are a dime a dozen across Asia-Pacific. The challenge is knowing which one(s) to choose. Much hinges on what you are trying to achieve.
There are plenty of decent general purpose tools for professional use – each with its own pros and cons. But in my experience there is no one solution that provides consistent, comprehensive coverage across all markets and languages.
