      Insight and Analysis

      From a professional on Gartner Peer Reviews (2018): Overall comment: “Pros:  1. Initially it looks complex to configure but with gradual efforts, we are able to understand the complexities and it is smooth now. 2. Does the work. We use it to perform the categorization of text based on pre-defined dictionary.”

      Cons: 1. “Onboarding a new customer and giving complete overview of services etc. are very poor. That needs improvement. 2. Categorization of text is based on key words and few settings around key words. This can also be implemented easily using database or programming language. There is nothing new and niche.”

      What do you like most about the product or service?: “Utilizing our own configuration for text categorization. Its giving flexibility.”

      What do you dislike most about the product or service? “All key words given for categorization are matched exactly. There should be a way where synonyms, lemmatization should also help in identifying the correct category and which is not happening at this time.” (Lemmatization usually refers to doing things properly with the use of a vocabulary and morphological analysis of words, normally aiming to remove inflectional endings only and to return the base or dictionary form of a word, which is known as the lemma.)

      From a professional on G2 Crowd reviews (2018): What do you like best?  “I evaluated seven sentiment vendors, and found Semantria to be the best at scoring sentiment. This was for retail. In addition, I like that you can adjust the phrases to score the sentiment more positive or negative. Some phrases are clearly negative for some industries. The word “honor,” for example, may be deemed a positive word, but for retail, it’s often in a negative context. With this engine, you can push this phrase along with another words that are within X proximity to be more negative. For example, “honor your price matching!” Or , “honor your agreements!”, is often customers complaining in retail and you can polarize that to be more negative. I think their sentiment scoring is more accurate than their competitors.

      What do you dislike? “The phrase/entity engine needs to be built out more.”
