Schedule Your Social Calendar!
What do you like best about the product?
I leave for 2 months every year at my job. But I can still manage the social calendar (at least with posting). This makes my life so much easier. Love that Instagram is included.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't really dislike anything.. I used to hate that it didn't include Instagram. That would be my only gripe.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Posting while on vacation!
Does the trick!
What do you like best about the product?
Hootsuite made managing 4-5 social media sites that my company used very easy. Rather than having to login to every site, paste the post and upload the media or images again, this site lets you post to any and all of your sites in one step. Want to post different things? You can still do that simply by selecting each site.
Viewing our feeds became simple by having them line up all on one screen. When someone messaged us, we were alerted here. This made it 1000x easier to keep on top of incoming questions/posts with a very small team.

What do you dislike about the product?
As someone who was new to this type of a offering, it took a bit to understand how to use it and get all of our sites reconnected in such a way that Hootsuite could benefit us. Definitely a struggle at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Social media management and tracking.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Affordable and simple solution for social media management.
Hootsuite Frees Up Time
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of scheduling posts to Twitter and between multiple accounts really frees up a lot of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The free version I was using was just right for me, however they recently made it so you could only schedule up to 30 tweets at a time. While we do now have to pay for the ease we had before, it seems as thought it's worth the price.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have limited resources being a nonprofit and this really helps us better utilize our time. It also helps us upkeep the cadence of posting on our social spaces whereas before we were sporadic in posting.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think if you're not a huge organization the new $19 a month plan will work fine. However, you will have to purchase the more expensive plan if you need more than one user. I believe that plan is $99 a month.
Simple to use
What do you like best about the product?
Simple for our small-scaled museum to keep track of multiple streams.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it was possible to have a few more streams at the basic plan--nonprofits utilize programs like this because we simply don't have the funds to do otherwise, and it would be nice to be able to use it a bit more.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Able to quickly monitor multiple feeds. Scheduling of posts cuts down on our time spent as well.
Free version is now more restricted
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Hootsuite is the ability to schedule posts and forget about them. I like that I can see all platforms in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that now the free version will only let me schedule out 25 posts. Also, the app could use a lot of work. One time when I opened the app and made changes, it deleted everything from my desktop account. Also, many times my scheduled posts won't post. It's also very hard to search for specific accounts within the system. For instance, I will want to retweet something from a partner's account, but unless the just tweeted it so that it shows up at the top of the dashboard, I can never find it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use this as my social media schedule.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
We're about to start looking into a paid version of Hootsuite because the free version only allows 20 or 25 posts to be scheduled. I'm sure that's the goal of Hootsuite is to get you to pay for it, but now after using them for 5 years I will be shopping around. It works well but it's not so great that if I'm going to pay for something I wouldn't double check other software. Plus, with Facebook's updated scheduling system, I now use that since I can get so much more targeted with my posts than I can with Hootsuite. So do I really want to pay for something that I'm only using for one platform? That's the question I will be looking into in the next couple of months.
HootSuite is Helpful for Metrics and For Posting to Several SM Accounts Simultaneously
What do you like best about the product?
HootSuite is free, is a good intro to looking at social media metrics, and for posting simultaneously to multiple social media accounts. It also shows you both your Twitter feed as well as all of your posts. It makes it easy to manage spam posts to your account.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not intuitive how to best use HootSuite for analytics. I'd like to see a demo - like a video that shows you how to best utilize HootSuite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I used it to track metrics on Titter: Followers, retweets, etc ...
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a nice platform to use if you have knowledge about how to best use metrics.
Quick, intuitive Social Media scheduling
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can schedule across multiple platforms at the same time - we use Facebook and Instagram and are usually posting the same stuff there.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface is a little clunky at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Streamlining our social media presence.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The interface takes some getting used to but is overall easy to use and really convenient.
Great for Getting Ahead
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to schedule multiple social media actions across a variety of providers.
What do you dislike about the product?
The scheduling limitations with the freemium model.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Coordinating social media and staying organized.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for scheduling social media posts especially if you are a one-man-marketing show.
Great for managing a lot of accounts
What do you like best about the product?
It's really affordable for managing so many accounts. It's easy to use and view multiple accounts at a time. It links with pretty much every kind of social media platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that I can't duplicate a post. There isn't a way to view past posts that include images. You also can't create a posting schedule with set times that posts will be scheduled. All other platforms I've used do allow posting schedules.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a social media manager, this is a huge help for managing multiple accounts for multiple clients, for an affordable price. I would have to sign up for multiple accounts of other platforms in order to host this many social media accounts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're managing a lot of social media accounts it's a no brainer to use this platform. If you're just using it for your personal business, I'd search for something else. It's a great way to keep track of all communication on your platforms. You're able to see mentions, and recent posts on the dashboard.
Makes social media management easy!
What do you like best about the product?
That you have all social media accounts in one place and have the ability to manage them simultaneously. Also, that you can schedule posts ahead of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
You don't get all of the Twitter features (posts you may like, posts you may have missed).
