Hootsuite
What do you like best about the product?
It is nice that you can connect twitter, facebook and the idea of instagram.
What do you dislike about the product?
Instagram is not a direct link. You type your message in Hootsuite, it sends a message to your phone and you still have to manually publish it to the instagram account from your phone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The business feature allows you to map out what messages go when. This has helped with each of the campaigns we are working on. Also, having analytics readily available in a programmable, downloadable format is extremely helpful.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are solely using twitter and facebook, this program is excellent. If you wish to also incorporate other feeds into your social media campaigns, you may look into other options.
Hootsuite; Just Alright
What do you like best about the product?
Hootsuite has a clean design that allows you to have an eye on all of your feeds at the same time.
Its scheduler is also helpful in staggering posts and all in the all, the free and basic versions provide the usability you might need for an organization with very simple social media requirements.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is an absolute nuisance that Hootsuite is not enabled for Instagram. The reminder it provides is ridiculous and needs to be improved. In today's social media world I should not have to use more than one system to fulfill all my content management requirements. I also would like it if you were able to manage Company pages on LinkedIn using Hootsuite.
I doubt I'll be with Hootsuite for much longer at this rate.
I doubt I'll be with Hootsuite for much longer at this rate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hootsuite provides the very basic problem of posting across several channels. It is a time-saving benefit, but considering that Facebook itself is enabled for scheduling even that is no longer a plus for what our organization needs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make a thorough assessment of your organization's social media needs before choosing Hootsuite. If you won't be posting across two or more accounts and you use Instagram and LinkedIn more often than Facebook, Pinterest or Google+ Hootsuite might not be the program for you.
Use it every day
What do you like best about the product?
I set up a dashboard for myself so that I can see exactly what I want to see on social media. Then when I log in once or twice a day, I can review the posts I need to see, and schedule the posts that I need to share. It keeps social media from taking over my life.
What do you dislike about the product?
Usability isn't always great. I've gotten frustrated trying to reorganize my dashboard before.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
manageable social media marketing
Hootsuite review
What do you like best about the product?
I like that after I do a post, it will keep posting for me months and even years later. I'm all about optimizing all of my efforts, so I like that the work is spread out and will continue to work over time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't love the layout, i think it's a bit confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I realized the importance of setting up a campaign once, and letting it post for me everyday. It frees up a lot of time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great place to make your work load lighter with social media posting!
Complete tool for social media
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can monitor multiple social accounts in a multitude of ways. For example you can keep track of #s, mentions, and @ replies for a single account, all on one screen. I also like the analytics features. I struggled to find a service that would let me control the time frame of the reporting to my specifications. Hootsuite allows you to toggle the timeframe as well as eliminate some social networks from the reporting.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that you cannot schedule Instagram posts without needing to go in and manually post them. I know this is something to do with Instagram, but Hootsuite should try to work something out with them. I don't like that you cant upload videos that are longer than 1 minute for Instagram. Once it gets to my phone, I will be able to edit the video to a shorter length -- I don't have the ability on my computer. I also wish the posting window was more user friendly -- it keeps disappearing when I move my mouse away.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows multiple people to post to all of our business platforms without overlapping on scheduled posts -- you can see what is scheduled when and by whom.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you use different avatars for each social network -- the dropdown can be a but busy at first glance and having different icons really helps users quickly identify social networks.
Useful for Twitter
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can combine tweets and shoot them out from more than one account at once. I also like the feature of splitting posts. In addition, I like that you can see multiple incoming tweet streams for your various accounts.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike that this platform only works for Twitter. I have used Social Newsdesk in the past, which lets you use Twitter and Facebook, but it still wasn't a great program. I prefer HootSuite. If they find a way to include Facebook, I would use this for work often.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Becoming more efficient

Useful for Twitter
Hootsuite is best Social Media posting tool available
What do you like best about the product?
I like how hootsuite's dashboard has been setup. Its is much more simple than that of competition in rignite which I also tried. Hootsuite also offers a wealth of training tools for new marketers to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the stream setup function I would prefer a single stream setup for all media similar to rignite in this regard. I don't like to the post to instagram feature now that Instagram requires you to use a mobile phone to upload to instagram. Because of this setup I always have to be available via my phone to post.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to post to all my social channels simultaneously with ease. The dashboard for scheduling has saved me from tons of individual posting dates. And with multiple clients using social this is a life saver.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend improving the Instagram integration in hootsuite. I would also recommend a better price on the agency subscription. If there is a desktop version of hootsuite I have yet to find it and would prefer that rather than the online version.
Simple and convenient
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to see all your social feeds, as well as hashtag feeds, in one organized place is extremely helpful. I also think that the free version of Hootsuite is perfect for small organizations like my own -- no need to pay for an exorbitant amount of accounts.
What do you dislike about the product?
The inability to schedule Instagram posts. It simply reminds you to post on Instagram; it doesn't automate scheduling for IG. They give a valid reason for this but it is still inconvenient nonethless. The free version, I will say, is limited because you cannot see all your analytics. I still stick to the analytics in Facebook and Instagram. I don't use Hootsuite's analytics. I would also like to use the Organization feature, but I cannot, as I need to upgrade my plan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Through Hootsuite, I have found multiple fake accounts of the institution I work at. I was able to make sure these accounts were shut down. I also engaged a larger community by constantly monitoring the #sierracanyonschool feed. We have also become more active on Twitter, and have been more able to engage with folks via Twitter.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
My experience is limited to usage for smaller organizations, but I highly recommend this product.
Hootsuite is a very helpful social media tool.
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you can manage multiple platforms. I do social media marketing for 4 different companies and this helps me to consolidate each of them.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that Instagram has to be separately authorized. I wish it would automatically post like it does for Facebook & Twitter.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to custom schedule posts is very helpful to me, so I am able to plan ahead. That way if I have a particularly busy day, the sites do not have to suffer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I love the scheduling function!
Great. Love it
What do you like best about the product?
The publisher function of the tool that allows you to prepare your posts in advance
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have mobile access to all the features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
excellent to help me implement my social media strategy
