WHY PLATFORMS SWITCH FROM ENSEMBLEDATA
EnsembleData is a developer tool. Datashake is enterprise infrastructure.
EnsembleData is a solid entry point for developers who need quick access to a handful of social platforms. But if you're building a product that your customers depend on, you need more than five platforms, no published SLA, and self-serve documentation.
Datashake covers 150+ sources, delivers review data as a core product, provides dedicated technical onboarding, enterprise uptime SLAs, and managed pipelines that evolve with platforms automatically.
Bring every public voice into view
Facebook, X, Bluesky, Trustpilot, Google Reviews, Amazon reviews, and 144+ more – not in EnsembleData, all standard in Datashake.
Keep customer dashboards live and accurate
99.9% uptime SLA. Dedicated customer success. Managed pipelines. EnsembleData has none of these.
Review data included
65+ review platforms in the same API as social data. EnsembleData has no review product.
Switch without stress
150+ sources. Not 5
Every EnsembleData source plus Facebook, X, Bluesky, 10+ fringe networks, 65+ review platforms, 50+ e-commerce sites, employer review sites, and local sources. One API.

FAQs
Your questions,
answered
What data sources does Datashake cover?
150+ sources including public social platforms, 65+ experience and review platforms, 50+ e-commerce sites, employer review sites, and local sources – all through a single API and one normalised schema.
Does Datashake cover review data as well as social data?
Yes. Review data is a core product alongside the Social Media API. Both are accessible through the same API, same schema, same contract. No separate integration required.
How does compliance work?
Datashake collects only pre-login, publicly available data – no authentication needed, and no private accounts accessed. Five-plus years without a legal or compliance incident. Full audit trails and methodology documentation available on request.
Can we search for conversations we don't have URLs for?
Yes. Datashake supports keyword and Boolean search across sources – not just URL-based retrieval. You can discover relevant public mentions by topic, keyword, or filter without knowing which profiles or pages they appear on.
How quickly can we go live?
Most platforms complete integration and launch within weeks. We provide dedicated technical support through POC, configuration, and go-live.
What does the benchmark trial include?
We run your actual search parameters against our infrastructure and return real results. You can compare coverage directly against your current provider.
