From Social Media Hell to Social Media HEAVEN!
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to manage all of our social media accounts in one dashboard. When I have a full plate, Hootsuite is a welcome application to my busy day. I can see across all of our social media accounts at once. It allows for a much more engaged team and customer experience. Another great feature is the ability to drag and drop media to post across your social networks.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like more apps and other add-ons to allow for connection to other social networks or more in-depth reporting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time management. With Hootsuite, I am able to schedule an entire week's worth of social media posts. I can schedule for the entire month or year if I really need to! With Hootsuite, I can take an actual vacation.
Easy social media scheduler!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can see everything all in one place- scheduled posts, current posts, my feed, analytics, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that it is not always easy to post- issues with scrolling, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
social media planning and scheduling
Manage NUMEROUS Client Accounts in One Place!
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that you are able to manage everything from one dashboard. It is a user-friendly dashboard as well and allows you to quickly see each client all in one location.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that the reporting was a little bit "beefier." The reporting is fairly basic for the $120/year that I am currently paying, although it is still decent. Oh! One of the biggest things that I wish I had was the ability to view the scheduled posts in a calendar form or an easy way to show clients what posts are coming up. Currently, I am using Excel (Google Sheets) for that and I wish it was all done at once.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently, I am able to offer Social Media Marketing for clients and that is both beneficial to them and to me.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would start with your own personal free account and then build as you need to on it.
Best social media management experience yet.
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to create custom streams with the content needed in order for me to be able to work efficiently is the best.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their mobile platform is terrible. If they think that is an acceptable extension of the web app they need to rethink that solution. I still have to pull out my laptop to truly set up content while not in the office and that is poor thinking on the company's side of things due to the rapid pace that mobile devices are being used.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to engage our audience where they are. It is something that has been difficult when we dealing with multiple team members and multiple platforms that Hootsuite had made easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would say that using hootsuite makes social media management a breeze. It's focused on team oriented usage so it's great for larger organizations but is also built with small teams in mind.
Good features for streamlining social media scheduling process
What do you like best about the product?
We typically use Hootsuite for scheduling (not moderating) and like it well. We use the bulk composer and author RSS feed posting features. Also like the ability to schedule Instagram posts from desktop.
What do you dislike about the product?
We're limited to 50 social networks and 10 users with the pro version, which is not enough, but it's MUCH MUCH more expensive to upgrade beyond this level (last time we looked into it, that is). Plus, we're limited to 350 scheduled posts which is about 2 weeks worth across all our social networks...we'd like the ability to schedule farther out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hootsuite definitely helps to streamline our process and to see what team members do what.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go with the Pro version.
Makes social media easy
What do you like best about the product?
Makes it easy to manage multiple social media accounts and to see engagement.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing I dislike, I think this a great product that is designed to make the use of social media easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used Hootsuite to manage a business' floundering social media accounts. It made it easy to see where they were going wrong.
Hootsuite experienc
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use overall and app capabilities
What do you dislike about the product?
Desktop being different from app and not completely a seamless transition
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduled posts
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get familiar before relying on it heavily
Efficient and Effective
What do you like best about the product?
It allows me to put a lot of thought into my social media presence. I campaign our business very effectively and can create layouts, themes, and exciting images for my social media presence
What do you dislike about the product?
Perhaps the price, but I really don't have any issues!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving productivity problems. How to focus on bigger tasks but still maintain engagement.
Ease of use with an effective interface
What do you like best about the product?
I love that I can manage pages I administer as well as accounts, track keywords, and schedule posts, all from one centralized dashboard. The column layout makes it very easy to track where my engagement is, and to cross-reference posts and followers.
What do you dislike about the product?
I signed up when it was a free service, and felt it was very valuable. However, as the price has increased, I looked for less expensive alternatives for social media management. Also, as you add columns, the interface can appear cluttered, but I consider this a hazard of adding too many things to a dashboard.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had multiple job functions I needed to perform every day, and social media was only one of them - I was not a full-time social media manager or team member. That being the case, Hootsuite allowed me to deliver the quality of work I expected of myself, while being able to effectively manage my time to complete all the other job functions I had in a given day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Evaluate what you want from the program before ruling out alternative, free, options. If you need a simple tool that will allow you to schedule posts across multiple platforms, Hootsuite may be overpowered for you. But if you need analytics and manage multiple pages and individual accounts, Hootsuite is definitely worth considering.
Everything in one place
What do you like best about the product?
We run several versions of our social media accounts across multiple regions and countries and Hootsuite allows us to manage all of these in one location.
I love that we can setup users and assign them social media streams, control what they do and see.
You can also expand use by installing apps to help improve use and expand what can be done from one location.
I love that you can bulk upload tweets via a CSV file allowing us to plan months in advance.

What do you dislike about the product?
My only one thing I find annoying is that on occasion scheduled tweets fail to send and you never really get a reason why. Rare but annoying.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This allows operators to deal with social media in the same way we deal with emails.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have a little patience initially when setting up streams etc as they can be a little tricky.
However, after that, you'll love it.
