Great tool to control your social media in one place
What do you like best about the product?
Can control and monitor various social media platforms from one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be limited in what you can do. For example, cannot automatically post to IG for you. Certain # of accounts allowed for free version only.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saves time when posting to various social media channels. Can easily track your feeds from one page.
Enterprise Social Media Management
What do you like best about the product?
Hootsuite has an excellent user experience, mobile app, and is quite extensible. For enterprise use it has top-notch security features such as drafting vs publishing privileges & 2-step verification for publishing on selected accounts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Development has been a bit stagnant the past few years. There are not any glaring flaws that are left unaddressed, but for the cost of an enterprise license one would expect more regular rehauls.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The Hootsuite platform has allowed me to contribute a team's worth of work in organic social while not having to dedicate my entire work week to it. During my 3+ years of handling the company social presence, we have not suffered a crisis or security issue, and this is largely due to our reliance on Hootsuite. While I find myself fighting for the budget every year to justify this tool, comparison shopping alternatives regularly prove Hootsuite to be the best value on the market for enterprise social media.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check to see if any of your existing software vendors have a suite and if they offer competitive pricing. Despite having systems from Oracle & Salesforce, neither of those competing solutions looked as fully featured and were priced well above what we pay for Hootsuite.
Convenient posts scheduler
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that Hootsuite allows you to schedule posts on social media sites. We can schedule as many posts we want and so far they have all been posted without a single glitch or error. It also gives you an alert when your Twitter characters have exceeded which let's us edit the post, thus helping us identify such posts while scheduling. I also like the social media streams that show up on the dashboard. This makes it convenient to see what posts have been popping up on my timeline on a single screen. The best part of it is, Hootsuite is also available as mobile apps which makes scheduling posts even more convenient.
It has also social integrations for all major sites such as Facebook, google+, Twitter and LinkedIN.
It has also social integrations for all major sites such as Facebook, google+, Twitter and LinkedIN.
What do you dislike about the product?
Hootsuite is a great platform and has many social media integrations, and there is absolutely nothing I haven't liked in it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage a number of Facebook, google+, and twiiter accounts for many of my clients and I also used to post for them twice a week. Logging into their individual accounts one after another, and posting the same content, was a lot of hassle and time consuming too. With Hootsuite all I had to do was to the link the 3 accounts I need and schedule the posts on Hootsuite. The rest will be handles by Hootsuite. It will be published on my preferred sites on the mentioned date. this task which took about 30 mins a week, only took me 30 mins a month with Hootsuite. This was a convenient software as well helped me save time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Hootsuite is an easy and convenient app to schedule your posts on multiple social media sites. You can also use the mobile app to do as you go.
Hootsuite Overview
What do you like best about the product?
I like how it easy it is to monitor several social channels off of one platform. Scheduling content is also very easy!
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't anything I particularly dislike, but I do think assigning social posts can be tweaked. I sometimes get lost between assigning a social post and knowing where to relocate that particular post.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am on top of scheduling social content way in advance. I like the ability to map out posts, optimize their posting time and then keep track of their engagement after being published.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
To get the full benefits of Hootsuite, I recommend syncing multiple social platforms to the site. If you monitor more than one social feed, Hootsuite makes it easy to keep track of everything.
Seamless Tool, Better if Upgraded
What do you like best about the product?
Great for small businesses streamlining social media marketing and analytics into easy steps.
What do you dislike about the product?
Multiple features require payment, such as additional reports and URL shorteners.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving the issue of not being able to track social media. Benefits include better analyzing which posts gain the best responses, and capitalizing on them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Easy to use, but may be cheaper options.
Gets the word out for me!
What do you like best about the product?
It's so easy to use, and gets my information out quickly over multiple platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any problems with it. It does everything that I need.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Spreading the word about my services.
Great for medium-to-large volume companies
What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoyed using this suite of software, but right now it's not cost-effective for our company. There is a good possibility we will go back to it in the future, though.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's got a slightly steeper learning curve than some others.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're working to streamline our social media so we can be more productive on other fronts.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely a great tool for those looking for an all-in-one option. Just too much for our needs right now.
A Very Helpful Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Hootsuite enables me to schedule posts in advance so I can set them up and go on to the next thing. This has been a very effective way for us to communicate to our community. Our church has a reputation in our area for being excellent with social media. This can be largely attributed to the work we are able to do with Hootsuite.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be helpful to be able to replicate posts that we have already created. I do believe, however, that this is a feature of the paid version. That said, the product could be more streamlined as it is somewhat cumbersome when creating multiple posts that either share content or date frequency.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hootsuite was vital in enabling me to work ahead while I was on maternity leave, advertising for several weeks without being dependent on my presence. This was a tremendous benefit for our community as my absence was not felt as greatly in our church's communications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend Hootsuite. It makes our communications so much more effective, without much extra work on our part.
Hand app to use but not the be all and end all
What do you like best about the product?
Hootsuite allows me to see in one fell swoop what is going in my social media accounts and multi-post amongst them. Super handy when needing to get some important messages out there.
What do you dislike about the product?
The amount of times a well composed and super hash tagged post for instagram has gone missing in the ether between my computer and my phone is ridiculous. I'm not sure what precisely happens and it doesn't happen all the time but I just WISH Hoostuite had a failsafe for sent posts that weren't received by the device. A place to save drafts or something!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing multiple social media accounts in one place is super useful. Rather than logging into numerous accounts you can login to one thing and view what's happening and post from one place. Very handy!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For all that Hootsuite can be a bit clunky from time to time it solves the problem of managing multiple accounts in one go. It allows me to craft my social posts in a more user friendly space than often the phone allows (on my computer instead) and I can monitor what's happening within one window rather than multiple. Be aware that sometimes posts can go missing, especially between hoot suite and instagram which can be a royal pain if you have carefully crafted your post and it goes awry. Not to mention Mac's new global copy and paste which seems to conflict with this ability as well - fun times!
Hootsuite is fantastic!
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to post to all our social media sites at one time, and I love being able to schedule many posts in advance. It's a HUGE time saver!!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really.... I think the whole platform is fantastic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Saving time by scheduling, for example, a week's worth of social media posts in advance.
