It is good that tools are coming to Google+, because I haven't found any internal metrics tools at Google+.

They're in a different ball park really.
Hootsuite for managing social profiles, SumALL for analytics. Klout is best for finding content to share, I'm not 100% sold on their influence metric, although you can use it to find influencers.
These tools in my post are all about influencer identification, for most of them that's all they do and they do it well.
Well worth testing some of them out, especially NOD3x.
