What do you like best about the product?

Hootsuite makes it easy to schedule all my church’s posts and stay connected with our people.

What do you dislike about the product?

It seems like they’re in the middle of switching the look of the site, and I don’t like having to switch between old and new looks. Doesn’t affect my usage of it at the end of the day though.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Staying connected well on social media, but not having to be on the clock every time I need to post.

What do you like best about the product?

We like the organized Hootsuite design. It is very easy to access the file editor, and import audiovisual material for the publications that we will program. Its automatic programming system is very broad to publish at long time margins, and can be integrated to Foursquare

What do you dislike about the product?

We dislike a bit that it is difficult to get social networks added in the search engine. This happens when there are many clients attached to the platform, and it is confusing to get them. Your publication schedule is not very customizable, and we do not like that the number of devices to work with is so low

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

There were problems mainly with the management of networks and with the tracking of analytics, Luckily Hootsuite is much more detailed in this regard. We also had problems finding a platform that would allow the constant engraving of drafts for the information. Hootsuite has given us all this and more

Recommendations to others considering the product:

We recommend the use of Hootsuite for all types of advertising equipment. It is excellent to keep our work in networks properly organized. In addition, its function to edit previously scheduled publications is excellent for correcting errors

What do you like best about the product?

It does exactly what it is supposed to do.

What do you dislike about the product?

How it does practically everything. Everything about the user experience is frustrating. I'm sure some things, like losing connections to accounts, isn't entirely their problem, but it happens so often that they should be blamed to some degree. Everything feels glitchy. It's as if they have never actually used the product they built.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Unless you absolutely NEED Hootsuite for social posting, I would look for something else.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

It's such a frustrating experience, I would strongly suggest finding a solution that is comparable but costs less, or has a more refined user experience.

What do you like best about the product?

I like that with Hootsuite you can program all your content to be published in different social networks at the same time. It is really easy to use with just a couple of steps you manage to publish in all social networks instead of doing it in each social network independently. Of the functions that most like of this tool is its anticipated programming, which facilitates the things if you know that you will be busy and you will not have time to use the tool.

What do you dislike about the product?

Sometimes it disconnects from our pages, which forces us to log in again in each social network and makes us waste time, this is very annoying.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

With Hootsuite we can program our social networks at the same time saving many hours of work. The automation of this tool is really effective, allowing us to schedule content days in advance.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Hootsuite is the easiest way to manage all your social networks in a single panel. If you are looking for automation and good management of your social networks, this is the tool you are looking for.

What do you like best about the product?

As a Hootsuite user for 7 years now, it is by far my favorite social media management software. Creating, optimizing, and posting social media for different platforms, etc. takes a lot more time than you would expect. Not only do you have to craft each post to fit each platform you're posting to you have to choose the best time, use the right hashtags, shorten URLS, and include something interesting (i.e. picture, video, content). Overall, what many believe will only take them 10 minutes, in reality it can take up 2-5 (or more) hours of your work week; even more when you include the content creation for the actual posting. Hootsuite is the best tool for compiling all your social media efforts into one dashboard you can work from and will definitely knock hours off your work week. PROS The best feature of Hootsuite is the time you will gain. Most social media platforms have a scheduling aspect to them but having to manually log in and out of each one, to do so, is not feasible or conducive for speed. Hootsuite provides you with analytics on each of your chosen platforms, located in its dashboard, to help you identify the most optimal time(s) to schedule each post to be sent out; this especially comes in handy for days you know you will be on the go and/or do not have access to technology. You can also scroll through past social media posts, save unfinished drafts, and boost posts for content promos; which will provide you with more insight and/or a better understanding of which of your efforts and/or CTA's are working best. Hootsuite's platform has various analytics and reports you can export so your team(s) can measure things like conversion rates, marketing and sales initiatives, and improvements in monthly social capital. One of the neat things about this platform is the option to purchase additional social media management applications for things like YouTube Analytics and video posting, Wordpress blog analytics and posting, Google Analytics, etc. Hootsuite also provides the option to export reports (including customized reports) on any of the platforms connected to your account, to measure competition, areas of improvement, click stats, and which platform is bringing in the largest amount of traffic to your website/content, etc.

What do you dislike about the product?

One of the cons of Hootsuite is its inability to detect whether or not your traffic is originating from an actual human or an automated bot. This can interfere with your data and make it hard to decipher if the data you have access to is valid or not; this is true for Google Analytics as well. To avoid this, we use a third-party application for visitor tracking (Lead Liaison). You may get notifications that your social network(s) have been disconnected from your dashboard; don't worry, you simply just have to reconnect them. Although I am not sure why this happens so often, I trust that this has nothing to do the security of my account and I always receive notifications when I sign in to my account from a new device, etc.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is imperative for anyone who needs to schedule social media posts and is just really useful to also have multiple people scheduling posts

Recommendations to others considering the product:

The fact that Hootsuite offers flexible plans that even enable you to try out the features for free and then slowly upgrade to higher plans, as per your requirements, makes it a hot favorite among most of the highly popular social network management tools, but over all it’s very expensive for what you get, considering that there’s platforms like Sendible offering the same things plus additional and innovative functionality for a lot less per month!

What do you like best about the product?

I love the functionality of Hootsuite and how easy it is to use when having mutliple social media platforms.

What do you dislike about the product?

I dislike the fact of sometimes like all technology it often logs me out or disconnects me from the different platforms and how your not able to add mutule accounts under one umbrella

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to schedule post to go out duringove events, schedule different post during various times and days of the week for clients.

What do you like best about the product?

HooteSuite helps me to be able to easily access my sites and sites of clients. Scheduling by post is easy enough and I am working with bulk posting in 2019 to reduce the time that it takes to make individual post. All in all it has been fun using this program and I like that it is mostly consistent even through the changes that have happened with Facebook and Instagram.

What do you dislike about the product?

I wanted to create a HooteSuite for a few clients and in turn hopefully get them to start a paid account, but what happened is that when creating the single account for a client it completely erased the information and I am currently unable to get in. When showing this site to the client and I couldn't get in I was so embarrassed and felt that in trying to troubleshoot the reasons why it happened I couldn't connect with Hootsuite to easily get answers. All in all, currently I had to put this client under my account so that I could manage their page. This may look bad to my client and now how can I get them excited about the product. I am still excited about the product so I will keep trying

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

So many benefits in regards to scheduling and consistency of posting and reporting. Keep up the great work.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Learn to utilize the features that Hootsuite provides. They will make life a little easier.

What do you like best about the product?

The Hootsuite agenda feature is highly customizable. It has been very easy to organize our material for social networks, and it is safe against the loss of information (it offers saved drafts). Allows us to edit our posts again even when they are already scheduled to be published

What do you dislike about the product?

It is not as useful to manage Foursquare as it is with other networks. The basic payment plan greatly limits the number of devices from which you can work simultaneously. Hootsuite's added network search engine is complicated to understand

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Because our small advertising agency is growing, we need a service that allows rapid management of social networks. Hootsuite is very direct and quick to understand, so it has helped us significantly with this. Also, it works on the web, so we did not have to deal with installation problems as we did in the past with other similar services

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Hootsuite integrates seamlessly with Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Community managers who focus on these social networks will find that Hootsuite is an amazing tool for managing posts and analytics. We recommend it completely if it is to work with these networks

What do you like best about the product?

It is one of the best social media managing software which is easy to use. It includes free trials which helps the beginners experience all the required features needed and leads them to use further. It also provides tutorial at the dashboard which is clear to understand and use the software. The social media platforms can be pinned or unpinned according to our usage. I personally use three software includes Facebook, twitter and LinkedIn. It makes my work more easier while posting through this software.

What do you dislike about the product?

I personally don't have much negatives as its my favorite social media platform with highly rich features, but I have a suggestion about its cost that is for beginners it may cause little difficult to afford this software as it quite pricey.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Its helping me out in making my work more easier while posting on social medias. I could share the content in one click and post in all my three social media accounts which is certainly an advantage for me. Its scheduling is by pinning and unpinning the social media as per our needs.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I would sure recommend this software for others because they can try free trails. The main advantage is free trials include all the rich features so that beginners could understand more about the software. And for beginners they also provide instructions which helps them guide in right path. I nearly use three of my social media accounts which is well managed through this software and makes my work easier while doing my postings.

What do you like best about the product?

Hootsuite takes all the social media platforms and puts them into one easy to use place on the dashboard. Cross platform content curation is made easy with their intuitive system that allows you to cue posts in advance.

What do you dislike about the product?

It can be too heavy duty for smaller projects that don't require as much power. In that sense it may overwhelm a new team, however it also means that it will scale well when the company grows. For our purposes, we didn't need such a strong system and ended up just posting mainly on our own without the help of a third party.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are solving the issue of Social Media management with Hootsuite.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

Hootsuite just discontinued their analytics! Know before you sign up.
