Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between DSMN8 and Ploy?

DSMN8 and Ploy are both employee-led content platforms, but they solve different problems. Ploy is a 100% video-first app built around campaign-driven, employee-generated content. It’s well-suited to consumer-facing and retail organizations building their brand around moments like product launches or store openings. DSMN8 is built to run employee advocacy as an ongoing, structured, company-wide program: LinkedIn content, AI personalization, executive influence tools, with enterprise-grade analytics, security, and support.

Is DSMN8 or Ploy better for building an executive's personal brand?

Ploy’s video-first, campaign-based model isn’t built around executive thought leadership. DSMN8’s Executive Influencer tools and Boost Post feature are purpose-built for this — letting leadership publish LinkedIn content with Personal Voice AI (or their teams using Delegate Access), rally employees to amplify it with one click, and see the impact.

Does DSMN8 support video content as well as written posts?

Yes. DSMN8 supports multi-format content so employees can share whatever resonates most with their network.

How do I know which platform is right for us?

If your priority is campaign-based, authentic video content — especially for retail, frontline, or consumer-facing teams — Ploy is purpose-built for that.

If you’re running (or want to run) a structured, ongoing employee advocacy program with LinkedIn content, executive influence, internal comms, and enterprise-grade reporting and security, DSMN8 is built for that.

Some organizations may use both, depending on the initiative. Book a demo to talk through your specific use case.

Can my team share content through DSMN8 without being logged into a work computer?

DSMN8 is a cloud-based platform. Employees can log in and share content from anywhere. DSMN8 also provides an optional mobile app, making it easy for employees to stay active on social media, whether office-based or not.

Does DSMN8 support Single Sign-On (SSO)?

Yes, industry-standard SAML SSO is supported by DSMN8, including but not limited to OKTA and Azure systems.
