Sprinklr is one of the most powerful enterprise platforms on the market.
It was built to manage large-scale customer experience across many channels, bringing publishing, listening, customer care, and analytics into a single, highly controlled environment. For global consumer brands handling massive volumes of customer interactions, that level of control makes sense.
But B2B social works differently.
As social media becomes a strategic go-to-market channel for B2B teams, many organizations discover that enterprise CX platforms like Sprinklr introduce more friction than impact. Complexity increases. Adoption slows. And connecting social activity to pipeline and revenue becomes harder, not easier.
This is why many B2B organizations choose Oktopost over Sprinklr.
Why B2B teams outgrow CX-first social platforms
Most enterprise social platforms are designed around customer experience at scale.
They prioritize:
Centralized control
Broad channel coverage
Heavy governance
Complex workflows
Sprinklr is a strong example of this model. It is built to support large volumes of customer interactions across marketing, customer care, and service teams.
B2B social, however, has a different job to do.
B2B buying cycles are long. Influence is spread across multiple stakeholders. Engagement often happens quietly, over time, and across both brand and employee channels. Success is not measured by response volume or speed, but by credibility, trust, and revenue impact.
As B2B teams mature, they need social platforms that support:
Focused social execution
Broad internal adoption
Employee and executive advocacy
Clear visibility into the pipeline and revenue impact
CX-first platforms are not built for this. Oktopost is.
Sprinklr is built for enterprise customer experience, not B2B social execution
Sprinklr positions itself as an all-in-one customer experience platform. Social media is one part of a much broader offering that includes customer care, listening, and analytics across many channels.
This breadth is powerful, but it comes with tradeoffs.
For B2B teams, social is not primarily a customer service channel. It is a marketing and revenue channel. It supports awareness, thought leadership, demand generation, and account-based marketing.
In Sprinklr, B2B social needs are often diluted by CX-driven priorities. Workflows are designed to manage scale and control rather than speed, flexibility, and adoption. Simple actions often require multiple steps, approvals, or custom configurations.
Oktopost takes a different approach.
It is built specifically for B2B social execution. The platform helps marketing and revenue teams run effective social and advocacy programs without the overhead of a full CX system.
When enterprise control slows down social impact
Enterprise control is, of course, required. In highly regulated or consumer-facing environments, it is a must.
But for B2B social teams, too much control often becomes a barrier.
Sprinklr’s strength lies in its ability to enforce governance across large, distributed organizations. However, this often leads to:
Complex implementations
Long onboarding cycles
Reliance on dedicated admins or external consultants
Slower day-to-day execution
For B2B teams trying to move quickly, test messaging, and enable employees to participate in social, this level of complexity can be counterproductive.
Oktopost is designed to balance governance with usability.
It gives B2B teams the controls they need to stay brand-safe, while keeping workflows simple enough to drive adoption across marketing, sales, and leadership teams.
Focused adoption beats broad coverage in B2B social
Sprinklr is built to cover everything.
Oktopost is built to be adopted by everyone who matters.
In B2B, social success depends on participation. Marketing teams cannot do it alone. Employees, executives, and subject matter experts all play a role in building credibility and influence.
CX-first platforms often struggle here. Their interfaces and workflows are powerful, but intimidating for non-specialist users. As a result, social execution becomes centralized, and advocacy adoption remains low.
Oktopost was built to encourage broad participation.
The platform makes it easy for employees and executives to engage in social sharing through intuitive UX, mobile apps, and native integrations with tools they already use. This enables B2B teams to scale advocacy without turning social into a bottleneck.
Measuring B2B impact instead of CX metrics
Sprinklr delivers extensive analytics across customer interactions, sentiment, and engagement. These insights are valuable for customer experience teams.
But B2B marketers often need different answers.
They need to know:
Which accounts are engaging with social content
How social supports lead generation and pipeline
How employee advocacy influences awareness and demand
Where social fits into the broader go-to-market strategy
In CX-first platforms, insights often live in dashboards rather than workflows. Connecting them to CRM and revenue data requires heavy customization and ongoing maintenance.
Oktopost was built to close the loop between social activity and business outcomes.
By integrating directly with CRM and marketing automation platforms, Oktopost allows B2B teams to measure how social influences pipeline and revenue. This makes social media a measurable, defensible part of the marketing mix.
Insights for buying journeys of customer committees
B2B buying decisions rarely involve a single person.
Several people engage with content across channels and over time. Understanding this collective behavior is essential for modern B2B marketing.
Sprinklr’s analytics are optimized for volume and sentiment across audiences. While powerful, they are not designed specifically for insights at the customer account level.
Oktopost brings social engagement together at the account level.
By connecting social interactions to CRM data, Oktopost shows which companies are engaging, which stakeholders are involved, and how social supports progression through the buyer journey. This makes it easier for marketing and sales teams to align around shared accounts and opportunities.
Employee advocacy built for B2B adoption, not CX scale
Sprinklr can support advocacy as part of its broader platform, but advocacy is not its core focus.
For B2B teams, employee advocacy is not just a feature. It is a strategic growth lever. It helps build trust, extend reach, and humanize the brand in markets where credibility matters.
Oktopost Advocacy is built specifically for B2B marketing and sales teams.
It combines:
Easy content personalization
AI writing assistance
Gamification to drive participation
Mobile-first sharing
Native integrations with Slack, Salesforce, Outreach, and Microsoft Teams
Advocacy performance is measured alongside corporate social activity and business outcomes, making it easier to justify investment and sustain executive buy-in.
Oktopost is built for B2B go-to-market teams
Sprinklr is designed to serve many functions across the enterprise.
Oktopost is designed to serve one function exceptionally well: B2B social as a go-to-market channel.
Every part of the platform is optimized for how B2B marketing and revenue teams operate. From governance to adoption, from advocacy to attribution, Oktopost helps teams execute effectively and prove impact.
This focus is why many B2B organizations choose Oktopost over CX-first platforms like Sprinklr.

Drive adoption across marketing, sales, and leadership
Enable employee and executive advocacy at scale.
Connect social activity to pipeline and revenue.
Avoid the overhead of complex CX systems.
Focus on execution rather than configuration.
