Hootsuite: An easy to use, helpful software
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy how user friendly Hootsuite is. It has many different features but has tutorials to walk you through easy step.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really wish Hootsuite had some scheduling capabilities for Instagram stories.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hootsuite helped my company optimize our time with easy scheduling capabilities. Scheduling multiple pages at a time is something FB scheduler doesn’t allow so that was a main benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have a small amount of pages to manage, this is the platform for you. If needing it for 5+ pages, that’s when complications arise.

The fact that we can schedule posts for as many platforms as we want.

Sometimes the posts don’t post on time or the right day.

We don’t have to post on social media everyday.

If you’re thinking about it, get it! Makes managing social media so easy!
Great Social Media Management Platform for a Budget
What do you like best about the product?
If you're on a budget, then Hootsuite is great for that. The free version gives you the ability to manage more social networks than other big name social media management platforms. The paid version is also more reasonable than others with tons of features. Plus, they're always adding new features. Lots of options, but I like that you can add a lot of networks even on the free version.
What do you dislike about the product?
They have options like other platforms which allow you to schedule posts on a calendar and recycle content, but it's not as good as other platforms. However, they're constantly improving and adding new features, so I expect it to only get better with time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I first started with Hootsuite, I was on a very limited budget and just looking for a free solution. Hootsuite gave me the ability to manage multiple accounts for free. Eventually I needed to add more accounts, so I upgraded to the paid version. But they're a great platform to start out with, especially if you're managing multiple social media accounts for yourself or others. I also now use them for a team with a client, which makes it so easy to share and schedule content between myself and the client.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're looking for a free or cost effective social media management platform that allows you to add plenty of networks and is packed with features, then Hootsuite is the way to go.
Great, cost-effective social media scheduler
What do you like best about the product?
Hootsuite is simple, more cost-effective than most social media schedulers, and I love that the calendar allows you to see which media each of your posts is going out to simultaneously. It also allows you to drag and drop posts on your calendar, which makes for easy re-scheduling (as opposed to other programs I've used where you must open each post in order to re-schedule). Their new publishing time suggestions are a cool feature, too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hootsuite so far does not support carousel posts/multiple photo posts for the Instagram feed, which means I have to schedule any post of that nature using Facebook Creator Studio. It would be great if they could add support for that function so that I can keep all my posts in one place.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hootsuite has helped make my social media scheduling more efficient. It is much faster and easier to use than Facebook/Instagram's native scheduler, especially when I need to re-arrange my content calendar at the last minute.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Fantastic and easy to use platform! Just make sure your pages run on business accounts so that you can have automated publishing enabled. Their webinars are also great, too.
I have used Hootsuite managing several clients accounts and now using it again. I love it.
What do you like best about the product?
I like how fast the integrations are. It doesn't take forever to connect accounts and post.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think there is a learning curve that is unavoidable. I find I am back and forth a lot reading instructions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to post on multiple social media platforms for more than one company.

Hootsuite could allow for better reporting.

Best solution for social media management
What do you like best about the product?
It is an ideal software for scheduling and creating posts in advance for various social media platforms. The free plan includes the ability to schedule up to 30 posts is good for beginners to try the software. The calendar feature is great help to figure out the best time to post.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a limitation for posting from Hootsuite. You are only allowed to post for your company page, you cannot schedule posts for your private profile. There is not an option to publish posts directly to Facebook stories or Instagram stories which is being used more for advertising nowadays.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Streams tool on Hootsuite is best. We can sort all our posts by categories which helps to analyse the different metrics of the posts. Free basic plan is very useful for small business to get started with very less budget for social media management. It keeps the business well organised and saves time from posting daily to social media.
Hootsuite Enables Multi-Channel Promotion in an Organized and Optimized Fashion
What do you like best about the product?
Hootsuite is very easy to set up and get started with. I have been a loyal Hootsuite user for probably almost ten years now, since my college days when I used it to manage my university's television station channels. Years later, I have used it for various professional endeavors, whether it be to manage social media networks in beauty, wholesale fashion, or technology. Hootsuite accommodates B2C and B2B marketing initiatives. The plans are on-point for today's social media manager. You can easily get by and be effective with the free plan, but the paid plans are also valuable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes my messages fail due to misconnections with various social media networks or the file size being too big, like with video. Luckily, though, I get alerts right away when messages have failed so I can take action to post them manually. I can even do it on my phone. The app works for me!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is easy for me to deliver a consistent brand identity and messaging via Hootsuite. I log in every day and it takes me very little time to get my messages for the day across, edit any existing scheduled promotions, and gain insights into each campaign's effectiveness. The Analytics Dashboard has definitely improved over the last ten years with Hootsuite. There are deeper insights and integrations that help me realize what I'm doing right or what I can improve upon. I can communicate with my audiences better.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a social media management platform that is easy to get started with and provide key metrics and analytics to help you excel with your social media efforts, this is a good one for most companies. However, if you'd like even deeper insights, I may advise something more complex. Hootsuite goes beyond the bare minimum, but for more advanced social media marketers, you may use something in addition to Hootsuite to compare metrics or supplement what you get out of this platform.
