All social media in one platform
What do you like best about the product?
I like the flexibility Hootsuite brings me to manage all the social media I use to work with my clients and personal accounts.
What do you dislike about the product?
In fact, I have not experienced any issue regarding the daily use I have with Hootsuite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can schedule all my publications when I'm off the office or traveling.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try buying a personal account if you have more than 3 social media accounts.
Very useful for synchronizing and organizing social networks!!!
What do you like best about the product?
I really like Hootsuite for how practical it is to save work and to be able to focus on future brand posts, being able to get work done in advance. Similarly, I like the number of platforms it has for scheduling posts, it has a lot of variety and is quite useful. The free version really encourages you to get a premium account, I like that. It is very intuitive in terms of the analytics it offers and data collection, it is very realistic and the data is all in real time, which allows for much more specific and real tracking.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have had some issues with account reconnection, meaning that it often disconnects from one of the social media accounts and doesn't post on that platform, even when nothing has been posted manually on the social network, and I think that should be something to fix since it is vital for many brands to have all posts on time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hootsuite has greatly benefited me and made my work as a Community Manager easier. Managing three accounts can make it difficult to maintain the essence and organization of each brand, and this is precisely where Hootsuite has benefited me. This software has allowed me to synchronize and schedule the brands' posts, the days they should be published, at what time, and on which social networks. It allows me to keep everything organized and consistent across the social platforms that the brands manage - which are Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram - maintaining the aesthetic of each network. I have saved a lot of work by using the software, as I can schedule posts for the weekends and not have to worry about them. Similarly, Hootsuite is so comprehensive that it has benefited me by providing analysis and data collection, allowing me to monitor the brand's position on social networks and understand the impact the posts have had, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend Hootsuite, it is really practical, intuitive, and dynamic. It is very useful for keeping track on social media as well as for maintaining synchronized aesthetics. It is very easy to use and implement in work life.
Great product, needs more capabilities
What do you like best about the product?
This software does a great job of what it sets out to do. It allows you to schedule your social media quickly, and not spend all day on it. It also allows you to look through your calendars of posts, see fans interacting with your accounts, and even interact without actually going to the social media itself.
What do you dislike about the product?
Once, I had an entire several weeks worth of social media disappear from Facebook, and it was basically resolved by logging in and logging back out. This is an insane amount of lost productivity and it took me reaching out to Hootsuite to even realize it was a problem. They should have preemptively warned me about this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hootsuite allows me, as one person, to manage every social media account for a television show from one place. My job's number of responsibilities would be totally impossible without software like this, so I am very thankful that Hootsuite lets me schedule in advance, and most of the time have confidence that my social media is running well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Hootsuite is a great tool in general, but you'll always run into some issues. Sometimes it bugs out for a day here or there, and there are a few features on each platform that it's lacking. For instance, Twitter polls, Facebook distribution settings for videos, etc.
Great Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Everything you need to run multiple social media accounts all in one place. Especially love the ability to schedule posts to Twitter, Facebook pages, and Instagram. The feeds are all chronological which is a big plus now that Twitter and Facebook force popular posts on you instead of chronological ones.
What do you dislike about the product?
A little bit of a learning curve and not all social media platforms work with it, but that is the individual platforms fault not Hootsuite's.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling posts so that time and energy isn't wasted everyday on social media and doing it all from one place allows us to see when and where each post is going at a glance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There is a free version that will allow you to give it a try or even continue to use it if you only have a few social media accounts. Give it a try. We use it for multiple accounts and social media platforms.
User Friendly
What do you like best about the product?
Hootsuite is very easy to use and fun. It enables me to keep my audience (students, alumni, families) up to date with events and activities at the school.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Re-share feature is no longer available from IG to Facebook.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Hootsuite to schedule posts while on breaks from school. It allows our students, families and alumni to keep up to date.
Great for managing multiple social media outlets
What do you like best about the product?
Hootsuite makes it easy to draft posts, set them up for a later date, and free up your time. You want your business to appear relevant and in the now, but you don't want to have to be there to post about something every single day. Drafting out your posts and dedicating one block of time a week/biweekly/monthly etc can help ensure a consistent image and save you lots of time! I love it for managing multiple pages and avenues as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you want to post on Instagram and utilize hashtags but DON'T want those hashtags on Facebook, there doesn't seem to be a way to use one picture and post different captions for different media sources but still posting at the same time. Seems to have to be set up twice. It's a small hassle and keeps me from utilizing the full functionality of the system. I also am a free user of this program, and I manage social media for multiple businesses so currently haven't found a way to get any of those businesses to take on the cost of the software. The jump from free to paying is pretty steep for what it's doing, in my opinion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Maintaining relevant social presence without taking up too much personal time- also posting on Instagram from a computer is a nice bonus even when not drafting out, but just wanting to make a post
Easily manage your social media channels
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to schedule out posts for my social media business accounts. I can add photos and shorten links for tracking. I do love how I can manage messages, mentions and hashtags right from the same page.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do have trouble integrating some Instagram accounts. It takes me many tries to get the accounts linked.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Definitely a time saver!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Time saver!
Right-hand man!
What do you like best about the product?
I love how vast Hootsuite is. You can use Hootsuite for social media analytics, posting, sharing or blogging, measuring your performance, content management, I can go on for days. I downloaded the mobile Hootsuite app for Android to my cell phone, as well as added the Chrome extension to my browser.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am actually having one issue currently with content that posts to my company Facebook pages. When I use the AutoSchedule feature and this includes a little backlink that will send clickers to the desired location - my problem is when I use this feature for Facebook, it does not include the Owly Link. Only on Twitter does it include the link. I contacted support but he was asking for a screenshot and at the time I was unable to further assist him with the information he needed. I will revisit and contact support at a later date.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Hootsuite across multiple platforms including my cellular device and my desktop computer via the Hootsuite Chrome extension. I use the tool to share, re-blog, post, and create content. I also love the ease of measuring your analytics. No new vocabulary to learn or fancy gimmicks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend adding Hootsuite to the budget if social media (content) managing is in your line of work. They take loads off your shoulders with their easy-to-use extension, mobile app, support bot, help desk, and AutoSchedule Feature. Also the different Streams you're able to use or create can come in handy.
Clean platform, stellar customer support.
What do you like best about the product?
I like things that are intuitive and easy to master, and Hootsuite is both of those things, most of the time. I'm also blown away by their customer service. I've had both billing and technical concerns addressed clearly and promptly, via email - just super easy and efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel like initial setup is a little clunky but really that's so not a big deal because once it's the way you want it, it's awesome.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Because I can schedule my posts for all different platforms, I can really figure out which audiences I want to reach when, and then can easily execute that plan. Hootsuite enables me to plan, seamlessly, without wasting time on the logistics.
Excellent
What do you like best about the product?
The best aspect of Hootesuite is the ability to schedule posts well in advance of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unless you pay for the unlimited plan, it is impossible to gain access to as many accounts as needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Dealing with timezones
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Best tool for international clients.
