Fun and easy tool for scheduling
What do you like best about the product?
I love the Hootsuite Academy-- I have learned so much, and it has really helped boost my portfolio and has improved our organization's content strategy.
What do you dislike about the product?
For a while, the Instagram feature wasn't working very well for us. It's improved a lot, and it saves so much time to schedule those posts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've struggled to maintain a consistent presence on social media, and scheduling all of our posts at once through Hootsuite has really made a consistent presence a more realistic goal.

Hootsuite for multiple accounts
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that Hootsuite allows me to manage multiple accounts is great! Not only am I able to include multiple social media platforms, but multiple accounts within the same platform. That piece is incredibly important.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've been using Hootsuite for a long time. I dislike the changes in plans over the years. However, I love some of the features that have been added here and there with upgrades.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Social listening is the biggest item we solve with Hootsuite. Using the streaming columns really helps keep track of virtual events with specific hashtags being tracked, and with following lists.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Use this for monitoring hashtags and @mentions when it comes to social listening. It will make life so much better! Whether just beginning or managing at the agency level, Hootsuite is a great tool that will help make your digital footprint a success.

Be patient and just go for it :)
Perfect for scheduling your posts
What do you like best about the product?
With this program, you only need to know what you want to publish in the future, schedule it, and then you can focus on other work. It has many possibilities and you can edit everything to your liking. One of the best things is that you can republish things you have already published since everything is saved. Or you can edit already published content for similar continued publications for a specific product or campaign, for example.
What do you dislike about the product?
The experience with the Instagram RSS is not fully adapted, although it is noticeable that they try to implement it daily.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Schedule posts for the short and long term, they can be edited at any time even after being published. You have everything organized and you can republish it since it is saved in the timeline.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend it to those who need to schedule their RSS posts daily. They can be done long-term and it has never failed me.
Program the RSS and forget about it
What do you like best about the product?
When I schedule new posts for the upcoming days on social media, I can relax and focus on other things. It's very convenient and supports many platforms. Additionally, it allows you to introduce shortened links and analytics.
What do you dislike about the product?
The compatibility with Instagram is not entirely good, the automated feature does not work as it should. Other than that, very well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
You can have the whole week or the whole month ready with what you want to publish on social media for one or several companies. Extremely useful if you are dedicated to online marketing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't search much more, try it and you'll surely like it. Besides, it's free. I recommend it 100%.
Easy as 1, 2, 3!
What do you like best about the product?
What I liked best about Hootsuite was the way I can write one post and add a photo, schedule the post, and it would go across all of my social media accounts. This saved me a lot of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I disliked is that the posts were truncated and could not see them image thumbnails.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I worked for a major publishing company and we used Hootsuite to blast out our scheduled posts and save time by doing all of the work in one sitting.

Save time and headaches by using Hootsuite to set up and schedule your posts and tweets in one sitting!
The most popular and easiest to use Social Media management platforms out there
What do you like best about the product?
Hootsuite is one of the most versatile tools out there in the market. Starting from it's free package, you will find yourself covering all the essentials you need for your day to day operations when it comes to social media. The columns/tabs interface is what sold the product to our team compared to all the other competitors we tried.
In addition, the ability to connect multiple profiles, create columns to listen to important topics and team communications and messaging (paid feature).
The free plan also allows you to schedule up to 30 posts, and if you need more, upgrading to any of their paid plans is as cheap as 1$ a day.
As we had many clients to handle and our team required a lot of collaboration, we were under the team plan. it was easy to setup an automated monthly report that goes to the client, which saved us tons of time, and the team collaboration features allowed us to assign the right roles and exchange messages, assign tasks and customer inquiries (tweets and comments) to one another with ease.

What do you dislike about the product?
While Hootsuite covers the essentials you might need for your day to day social media, it lacks much in-depth analysis, listening and reporting features.
In addition, it does not have cross-platform profiling, and does not have features to help you setup competitions or gather/mine data easily.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
I'd always start with the free trial, understand the features and see if they meet my requirements. Many of the social media management tools have similar features and cover your essentials, so it down to you to select your best tool based on your financials and the kind of features you are looking for.
Synchronization of social networks
What do you like best about the product?
The ease and speed of publishing and synchronizing posts across social media platforms. The ability to schedule the timing of posts and the effectiveness with which it is done.
What do you dislike about the product?
It should have a higher level of advertising for the efficiency it provides.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The management and synchronization of my social networks, which allows for optimizing the time invested in them.

What isnt to like about hootsuite?! It gives you everything! from an amazing social media marketing tool to educational resources hootsuite has it all!
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, I truly love this product. The things I dont like stem from the individual social media platform rules and policies. I would love to be able to use this to schedule instagram stories or multuple pictures on instagram in the same post

Social media marketing to college students

Spend less time posting across social media with Hootsuite
What do you like best about the product?
I LOVE that I can see my feeds from my dashboard in Hootsuite. I don't have to leave the site to respond to Tweets, leave a comment on LinkedIn or reply on Facebook. Additionally, I like that you can create streams for certain hashtags and mentions, which makes it so easy to monitor when people mention you, your product, your industry or a hashtag that is relevant to your business.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's some features that are disabled unless you pay the monthly rate. On the free plan, for instance, you can only schedule 30 posts at a time. It also limits you to two social media platforms on the free plan. I wish they would let you add three platforms and keep the 30 post limit.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I do a lot of freelance communications work and I also have a regular "day job" so I don't have a lot of time to head over to every platform and post throughout the week. I can set aside an hour each week, plan out and schedule my posts. It has saved me so much time, also, the analytics built into the site allow me to see how posts are doing, so I know which subjects and types of posts my audience responds to best and adjust the types of things I post accordingly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's the best social media management site out there. I have tried Buffer, Tweetdeck (when it was functioning), dlvr.it and they just didn't compare to what Hootsuite offers. It's free to try and you can always upgrade to get additional platforms and benefits.
