Hootsuite

  • January 23, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Hootsuite is great. It makes it extremely easy to post on several accounts at once and schedule those posts. I also love the fact that you can view your post on each social media account all at once. This is extremely helpful especially since you don't have to go back and forth between various accounts to see posts.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing that I would like from Hootsuite is the algorithm for posting on various social media sites. Does it matter if you schedule your posts? Will you get more views if you post directly on the site? This info is probably available, but some kind of algorithm when you are setting up posts would be great. Or a list of key words to use in post.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am the only person that does all of our marketing and social media. It makes it easier for me to handle all of this on my own.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I definitely suggest anyone handling more than one social media account use the app. It helps you schedule out your posts and the free resources are also a great help. Recently, I used the social media planning guide in order to create a plan for the new year. It was extremely helpful and now I feel that our social media is on the right path.

Love Hootsuite!

What do you like best about the product?
I find that Hootsuite is one of the easiest posting tools. With my pro account, I can post to multiple platforms at once and that is very helpful timewise.
What do you dislike about the product?
The bulk scheduler is still a little difficult to use. I haven't used it in a long while so I'm not sure if it's changed since, however it would be nice if there was a pre-set template that you could just drop your text and pics into instead of having to put them on an excel sheet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The problem of not having enough time to post to multiple platforms is solved for me with Hootsuite.


    Marketing and Advertising

Hootsuite is a good, inexpensive option for brands with multiple social channels

  • January 23, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the ability to schedule things in advance, obviously. The ability to schedule posts across multiple platforms with a single click is really useful. The ability to view analytics for different platforms side by side, and to export them, is useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the user experience could be improved.

I'm not a huge fan of the way the publisher is set up, it's hard to visualize and it's easy to schedule things for the wrong time or send instead of schedule if you're not paying attention. And they use the same icon for the 'schedule' button as the 'calendar view' button which is annoying.

Everything looks pretty messy as a general rule.

I personally found the analytics at the lowest price point to be unimpressive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving issues regarding time constraints, continuity of brand message across platforms, and allowing a double check before publishing to maintain brand integrity.


    Public Relations and Communications

Hootsuite is great for teams!

  • January 23, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We use Hootsuite to monitor our social media pages -- whether that be for clients or for our own company's social media channels.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the dashboard could be updated at some point -- it's not super intuitive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can see all sorts of behind-the-scenes stuff wit Hootsuite, which helps us create stronger content.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it out -- it's great!

Hootsuite an easy way to plan social media across multiple platforms

  • January 23, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy of use, can schedule multiple posts at one across all the platforms
What do you dislike about the product?
instagram integration is subpar - although it does not seem there is a better solution on the market
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it can be very time consuming to post on multiple sites, we are able to schedule far in advance and easily review - this helps us to prevent errors and to ensure the whole team is on the same page.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Better instagram integration would be a game changer

Great tool, clean interface!

  • January 23, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the "set it and forget it" flexibility of being able to schedule out content for multiple channels. It's a good product for the price. I've had the experience of using a paid subscription (not teams, just two different pages to support), and I've also spent significant time on the free version. I always recommend Hootsuite to people who are new to self-promotion and seem to be spending all their real-time on their platforms. Enjoy your life: spend less of it live-posting!
What do you dislike about the product?
Slack on Instagram full size update, and the run-around for posting images to Instagram. If Hootsuite could get permissions to allow for a post directly through their app, rather than having their users merely send reminders and still require another action on their phones, it would be a breath of fresh air.

Additionally, the pricing structure for teams doesn't seem fitted well to the individual needs of businesses. There's a whole different pricing chart on the business landing page vs. the landing page for a user with Hootsuite in their history.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping on top of multiple channels on multiple platforms.

Cheap and easy to use

  • January 23, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the interface that helps to manage the products. It's very simple and that's what we need here. I found some tools to be overcomplicated and often full of issues... Hootsuite is a reliable piece of software that just makes the everyday life easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing right now. But there were scheduling issues in the past. I and my team published the content for the entire month for all our clients and it disappeared a few times... sadly we lost one of the clients, as we didn't work over the weekend, but the content still should go out. Nothing got published as the tweets disappeared and it was quite important as they were running an event...
There also used to be some issues with publishing, where content was scheduled and appeared as scheduled (or sent), but it never appeared on the account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We provide social media management services for overwhelmed business owners, who don't have time to post and engage with their clients and prospects across SM regularly.

Basic Product, Good to start, but not great when wanting to grow.

  • January 23, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This is a great, free monitoring tool. It does a good job at basic monitoring and scheduling. This product is very easy to use, and very easy to setup. I would highly recommend using when starting to seriously manage Social Media for a company.
What do you dislike about the product?
The reports and data available, does not actually help with fixing business problems. This product needs better in depth reporting across all content. A stronger API with Google Analytics would be very helpful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Finding out what income is coming via Social Media is what we are trying to solve, because it allows us to keep growing and doing our job.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product for limited monitoring on Social Media. We left for a different product because it did not give us data on how social was driving our business.
