Hootsuite Simplifies Social Media Outreach
What do you like best about the product?
Scheduling social media posts: I honestly haven't had time yet to use a lot of the other features, though I do glance at them from time to time (such as the ones that show our mentions by other people and organizations), but I use the scheduling feature constantly. It's a great way to plan. Plus it stores previous posts so I can re-use them on occasion.
What do you dislike about the product?
You still have to sign in to Instagramt to approve every post you schedule on Hootsuite each day, which adds extra steps.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Planning and posting meaningful social media outreach is time consuming and it's rarely done well on the fly. With Hootsuite, I plan my posts a month at a time, so not only can I sit down and get it all done in one day, but I can also create patterns and see that visually, which helps me make smart choices about communicating our brand and messaging in a strategic way over a period of time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I watched a tutorial on Youtube and it was a really helpful way to get started. I definitely recommend doing that.
Still my top choice for convenience and ease of use
What do you like best about the product?
I can monitor and participate in relevant Twitter conversations across multiple businesses and topics from one handy interface that is pleasant and easy to use. Keeping the search streams open allows me to follow chats, conversations, and conferences across multiple industries.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could manage more of my social networks in a truly engaging way, but I know that part of the issue is the restrictions placed by those networks. I see that the Facebook page activity stream is going to be better, but my audience isn't really going to Facebook for content (local government).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a microbusiness/consultant, it can be hard to remain visible and relevant in your industry. Using Hootsuite streams for social listening and getting into conversations when I can keeps me up to date with what's going on. Hootsuite makes it easy for me to represent myself, my businesses, and my clients with separate content and conversations in a VERY manageable way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Think about how you are going to use the product, and whether you'll be committed to using the available features.
Great beginner's scheduler
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to map out social media content is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a bummer that more analytics tools aren't built in to Hootsuite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm solving a completely lack of social media content, and we're receiving the benefit of increased social media engagement and sales.
great variety of options, but a little too confusing to use if you don't need all the bells
What do you like best about the product?
I love best that you can have different feeds and make groups for your twitter followers
What do you dislike about the product?
took me a while to get the hang of it at first
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
had too many different social media accounts and lost overview, hoot suite brings everything together
**Hootsuite does not post, it just plans**
What do you like best about the product?
I like the planning part of the app, though social media handles like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter all have pre-planned posting capabilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Starting out with Hootsuite, I thought the planned post plan where you put in when you'd like it to post, would actually post to your Twitter or Instagram. It does not. It only sends you a reminder of when to post that content.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I'm gone and someone else is taking over the brand strategy endeavors via Hootsuite, it's easy for them to sign in and see what my plan was for that day or the following.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a great tool for planning if you're an over-planner like me! It's also great to show your team the planned posts before posting them.
Great tool for social media management
What do you like best about the product?
Hootsuite is a great social media management tool. Minus some occasional minor glitches, I would highly recommend it as it allows you to schedule, monitor and manage a large number of brands and social networks. I especially like that you can schedule multiple platforms at once and that you are able to schedule directly on pages thanks to a Hootlet Chrome extension.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally, Hootsuite is glitchy, especially when trying to mention a person or brand in a tweet or Facebook post. It either won't let you select the right one and will get frozen or in the case of Facebook, is unable to find pages with titles that are longer than a few words. Another glitch is that occasionally a scheduled post will fail.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Social media management and social listening
Time effective and hassle free.
What do you like best about the product?
That you can pre plan post and not have to worry about what you are going to post each day of the week.
What do you dislike about the product?
The service has jumped in price but still is reliable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Marketing and content creation for real estate.
Best free option
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Hootsuite is free, easy to use and has a clean dashboard. It separates out your accounts and gives you multiple columns to work with so you can see what you've scheduled, favorited, what's on your home feed, etc. The list feature is also nice if there are a group of people I want to interact with; that way I can just see their tweets/posts live in the columns.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish keywords and searches could be more refined. Sometimes I have a broad keyword but it shows up in thousands of spam accounts and my search doesn't do much for me. I dislike that it doesn't have that option and I wish it could be used more to help me find content to share and engage with.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can easily engage with my targeted audience and schedule posts for throughout the week, saving me enormous amounts of time. It's so nice to know that I am pushing out content and don't have to pause during the day to do it myself!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't forget abut the two-factor authentication on Instagram. Other than that, Hootsuite is pretty easy to navigate.
Great Collaborative Tool - Lackluster Reporting
What do you like best about the product?
Leveraging the tool with a larger (10+) person team of social content creators has been a simpler process using HootSuite. The role-based user permissions seem to work well and we have a process that effectively manages the process from start to finish.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest challenge we have faced with HootSuite is the reporting functionality. While I can see how it probably meets 90% of their customer needs it lacks the nuance necessary for complex businesses that have multiple go-to-market strategies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This tool was put in place almost entirely for process improvement. Reduced overhead upon our social media administrators and a streamlining of our time to market with key messaging.
