HootSuite: For All Your Social Scheduling Needs
What do you like best about the product?
HootSuite allows me to monitor and control several different social channels all from a single location.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the design of the actual platform...the colors and such. Sorta dull.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to seamlessly schedule social posts across channels from a single location.
Fairly Simple Social Media Manager
What do you like best about the product?
Hootsuite makes it easy to post simultaneously to several different social platforms. It saves the time of having to reload websites for all the different pages I manage. Also saves the time it would otherwise take to type and re-type captions.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could see a preview of how links would appear on Facebook. You don't get a preview, and it's always a surprise to see if an image (never mind the correct one) will be featured. Also, I would like to be able to slightly tweak the captions for different social media networks without creating a totally different post.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to work 9-5 and still get posts out during the early morning and late evening hours.
Nice free feature, Platform is a bit confusing
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to post to multiple social media platforms
What do you dislike about the product?
The inability to post directly to communities or groups which make up 80% of our marketing tactics.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mass General Reach
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Hootsuite has recently announced more issues with customization links with Facebook and others. This is a not a good sign that Hootsuite is heading in the right direction. Ease of use is required and this takes it down a whole notch.
Hootsuite for Social Monitoring and Posting
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can aggregate a number of social profiles into one tool and set up feeds for each. It's also easy to post to multiple platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that the analytics are limited especially for certain channels like Instagram.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to monitor, post and analyze our social media activities through this one tool, which helps simplify the need to monitor separate sites.
Get the job done, but could offer way more
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to set up stream to monitor activity on various channels. Ability to post to various accounts and channels.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limit to how many tabs you can have, and how many streams you can have within a tab. Reporting is awful and does not give you analytics you need, the exported report document takes up a single metric per page. Does not report on reviews.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My team manages Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Instagram and LinkedIn accounts for over 250 clients. We use Hootsuite to post to these various channels so we don't have to log into each one every day.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Hold your sales rep accountable. Our oversold us and promised us many things only to find out later that Hootsuite is not in a place to offer to develop the things they promised.
Solid enough for your basic SM org needs
What do you like best about the product?
It was great tool at the onset of SM for aggregation and monitoring. It kept all of my keyword searches organized and was rare to experience any bugs or mishaps. Great for those with a lot of personal twitter followers to keep your twitter feed from becoming a cluttered nightmare.
What do you dislike about the product?
It didn't adapt enough to the evolution of SM. Plus I just didn't need it anymore at my current position. Im sure it is still a solid product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was great tool at the onset of SM for aggregation and monitoring. And it was also great for live opinion gathering.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
make sure it will cover the full scope of your needs...they were an OG but there are a lot of options available out there these days. Do the research.
It doesn't always work smoothly.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that it has everything I need to look at right where I need it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes posts do not go through or send, and that's frustrating to have to enter and re-enter over and over again. It's not the most reliable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It can hit a wide audience.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just prepare yourself to make and re-make posts when they don't send when they're scheduled to post.
Functions well, but a bit clunky.
What do you like best about the product?
I like having the ability to quickly schedule future posts across all social media platforms at once.
What do you dislike about the product?
The user interface is lacking in fluidity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've been able able to produce a lot more content with the time we've saved publishing it.
Easy to Use Social Media Calendar
What do you like best about the product?
Posts to multiple social media platforms and allows you to see all upcoming and past social media posts in one dashboard.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I have issues with it being unable to post a scheduled post on LinkedIn, although when this occurs they immediately send an email.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This saves time and allows us to post outside of business hours and when users are on vacation or out of the office.
Useful and Free
What do you like best about the product?
It allows me to program posts cross-platform. This is for media posts or just words. For the free account you may have a limited amount of social platforms connected, but honestly it is hardly the case where you need to program that many at a time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The creation of the posts can be tedious. I think that having a way to upload a CSV file for the posts would increase the speed thus making it a bit more powerful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having someone stuck to a computer at all times in order to answer posts as well as posting new content every day is not very feasible. With Hootsuite you are able to combine all that into one single Dashboard and have multiple people look at it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are looking for a free or cheap platform and you don't need something very powerful (honestly, most don't) then Hootsuite is perfect!
