Does it give an option to download reports?

Yes. The reports can be downloaded in excel and word. The reports are presentation ready and come with automated conclusions / insights.

What kind of sentiment analysis does it do and how accurate is it?

We do provide sentiment analysis but we classify them as non-negative and negative. Anyone who has used social media tools knows that automated sentiment analysis provides only up to 50% accuracy. We have spent significant time in building this algorithm and have concluded that if we classify it as negative and non-negative (positive and neutral) we can provide at least 90% accuracy.

Although we do provide a greater accuracy on sentiment analysis we do not believe that this is the USP of our tool as sentiment analysis results cannot replace the accuracy humans do.

What’s the algorithm for sentiment analysis?

People use different tones when they refer to different sectors. For example a word like MNP (Mobile Number Portability) is very negative for telecom sector but may not be true for other sectors. So the phrases in our dictionary are created based on the sectors. We classify certain phrases / words as ‘very negative’, ‘negative’, ‘neutral’, ‘positive’ and ‘very positive’. The algorithm gives rankings based on the match. If it falls in negative, neutral or positive category then there are 2-3 more iterations to identify if it is really negative and then we finally throw the result as negative or non-negative.

Adding phrases and words to the dictionary is an evolving process and as more number of users start using Konnect Social it will get more accurate.

Here's a sample report:
