Great Social Media Monitoring Tool
What do you like best about the product?
It was a very helpful tool when looking to schedule social media posts in advance. I had multiple posts per day and it was great so I didn't have to keep logging into to each platform to post. I just scheduled them for each outlet, modified the postings and scheduled them for the date/time!
What do you dislike about the product?
For me, I didn't like the dashboard. I found it to be too much. It was an overload of information about people that followed us, who we followed, etc. I would have liked the dashboard to be clean and simple and less distracting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I said above, there were multiple posts to be taken care of so it really helped me save time and check items off my list since I could schedule them all out and then forget about it. The number one benefit for me was saving the time to not have to go into each outlet and post when they needed to go out.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your job is to handle social media, this tool is great for you. The time savings is phenomenal and will help you "set it and forget it!" It will give you the analytics per outlet and per post which is super helpful for reporting on your ROI, engagement, etc.
Hootsuite Review
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can schedule posts out and not have to worry about it after that! The calendar view is awesome because I am a visual person and I can see what is going out at what time. I also love that I can follow other streams on Hootsuite, but not actually follow them on the social media accounts. It's a great way to see what our competitors are doing. The certification videos helped a lot as well because it not only helped me figure out how to utilize Hootsuite to it's full extent, but also the best practices on each social media platform. For twitter and instagram, i love that not only can i search for our streams or other users, but i can add a stream of different hashtags, or when someone mentions us. before, I was going on every couple of days to see who was using our name in hashtags and it was so time consuming.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like Facebook and Twitter, I wish Instagram would post automatically. Hootsuite is also supposed to send a notification to me on my phone through the app when it's time to post on Instagram, but never seems to do so
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
managing what is going out on all of our social media platforms, making sure we are posting every day, and we are saving time by scheduling posts out. I am saving a ton of time!!! I also like to see what competitors are doing by adding their streams as well.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I help agents utilize social media and if they are managing multiple accounts I always recommend using Hootsuite. I love it, I have used it at my last 2 jobs and I will always recommend it
Hootsuite made my life so much easier. It can help you too!
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, you dont need to be a social media expert to master hootsuite. The Webinars are also very helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the support for some social media avenues was little to none.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This gave me the ability to schedule my posts for multiple pages and time zones so I do not have to wake up early to post.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Hootsuite will not make your social media campaigns perfect but it will give you the freedom to create and push content at a high level.
Hootsuite Pro - Powerful yet affordable Social Media Software for Medium-Sized businesses
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to schedule social media posts ahead of time is very easy to use, and allows tracking so that you can prevent overlapping posts or conflicting posts
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost for the analytics module could be priced better/more competitively, but the basic information is included in the pro package level.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Global management of social media postings for our company. We can track who is posting where and when and not conflict/compete with each other. Also, the scheduling allows us to pre-plan and build posts in one sitting and not have to create each post separately on each platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
In addition to the ease of use of posting and tracking and managing posts, Hootsuite provides a treasure trove of educational and tactical information (both paid and free), that provides a wealth of information in not only how to use their software, but also in social media in general.
Hootsuite Makes Work Easier
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can set multiple messages across multiple platforms all at one time. We have 5 individual Facebook Pages for our company so when I needs that cross them all its nice to be able to visit one place to make it happen!
What do you dislike about the product?
I honestly haven't yet come across any issues with this platform or things that i would want to be implemented.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to more quickley post to all our outlets verse doing them individually. This is a huge company time saver!
Great for Social Media Managers
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to schedule posts in advance. You can also create "streams" to see different pieces of information, such as all mentions of your Twitter handle, or all posts you have scheduled.
What do you dislike about the product?
There really isn't anything I dislike about this program. I guess I would say I would like to be able to post directly to Instagram with Hootsuite, but I know the issue is with Instagram ans what they allow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If you are the only one at your organization doing social media, then it can be tricky to ensure that all of your platforms get regular posts. With Hootsuite I can make posts days ahead of time, so that I am prepared for times when I am too busy or out of the office.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be aware that if you use this to post to Instagram, you will still need a mobile device to make the post. What Hootsuite does is create the post and send it to your device (on the scheduled day). But then you still need to make a final click from your device to make the post go live. This is due to restrictions that Instagram has in their API that prevents making posts through a non-mobile device.
Also, be aware that Facebook already has a feature that allows you to schedule posts in advance. Just start typing the post, and instead of clicking "Publish," click the arrow next to it, and select "Schedule."
