Why look for a Shield Analytics alternative?

With Shield Analytics winding down, the question is who can fill their shoes when it comes to analytics, and also how to keep all the LinkedIn data that you saved there for years. Here's what to keep in mind as you plan the move.

Limited features

When it comes to Shield Analytics, it was an awesome analytics tool. But it didn't offer support for writing, previewing, formatting, or scheduling your posts, so you always needed a second tool for the creation side. Now you have a chance to bring both halves into one place instead of stitching tools together.

No support for pages or groups

Shield was built around a single personal profile. If you also post from company pages, run LinkedIn groups, or look after a few people's profiles, you had to work around that. AuthoredUp covers personal profiles, unlimited company pages, and groups in one account, with separate analytics for each, so a team or an agency sees everything in one place.

Your history needs a new home

With Shield winding down, your posts and metrics need somewhere to move. AuthoredUp imports your Shield export so your history comes across instead of resetting, and our step-by-step migration guide walks you through it. Export your Shield data while your account is still open.

Separate from where you post

Shield lived in a separate dashboard you opened to check your numbers. AuthoredUp runs inside LinkedIn through the Chrome extension, so you preview, format, schedule, and review performance without leaving the tab you post from. Less switching, fewer logins, the same workflow.
