Impressive Insight in One Platform
What do you like best about the product?
We love using the Smart Inbox feature! It allows us to closely monitor all messages and comments in one location. And having multiple campuses and ministries, with many social channels, it's so easy to keep an eye on what our community is saying. The listening feature has been a game changer, and helps us to find trends in conversations so we can create relevant social content and marketing plans.
We have been able to increase our audience engagement tremendously using Sprout Social. While we used to only post a few times per week, now we're able to see where our audience is and at what times, for the most effective content. The publishing platform is super helpful since we have about 18+ social media outlets we are posting to each day; LOVE using the calendar view. There are so many social media channels to keep an eye on, it's nice to get a birds-eye view of what's going on each week/month. And make sure each channel isn't competing with each other.
Sprout does a lot of the analyzing work for us; so we have more time to come up with ideas and create engaging content!

What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside would be the cost. It is expensive compared to Hootsuite etc. but if your company can swing it, it's worth every penny! It has so many more features than other platforms.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had difficulty engaging our audience before Sprout. With the analytics feature, we are able to break down what people engage with the most: what types of photos, carousel vs. text images, etc. We are also able to see what times are best to post for each platform... this has helped so much!
Sprout Social has made it remarkably easy for me to manage content and analytics in the same place.
What do you like best about the product?
The scheduling abilities and the easy access to post performance is what I like best. It has helped me stay organized, especially with the many different social platforms and pages we have throughout our organization. I also like the ability to duplicate posts because it helps other users utilize my posts for other Facebook pages, since we have so many. I also like the suggested times for posting. I base posts off of the 3, 4 and 5 star times that I would otherwise not know. I love the updated analytics that allow me to customize my report.
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not dislike much about Sprout. I would like to be able to schedule carousel Instagram posts and to be able to accurately see the analytics of boosted Instagram posts. If there were any way to implement story scheduling in the future that would also be extremely helpful. S
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sprout Social has helped me realize which posts are doing well and which are not. I have realized benefits of tracking. I have also solved the problem of lost or disorganized assets with the Asset Library. This gives each member of our team access to the things I have created and posted for their respective pages.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sprout Social really has it all, especially if you have a lot of pages to manage. It helps keep everything in one place and the organization is well thought out.
Very user friendly with a lot of tools to improve your social presence
What do you like best about the product?
I love the reporting. being able to see real time reports and engagement rate allows me to understand how our company is doing socially and if we need to adjust our messages to meet our own metrics.
What do you dislike about the product?
Every once in a while, I will make a post to LinkedIn with a video that schedules and appears on the calendar, but once it is deployed, the post goes away in Sprout's calendar.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Able to post to multiple pages. This saves time and is easy to use.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it. It has helped transform and analyze our companies social media.
Top notch
What do you like best about the product?
Always innovating and great customer service.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is really nothing I dislike. I would still like to see a view where I can see multiple columns someday.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling on a global scale and analytics.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I have been using Sprout since 2009 one of their earliest customers at two global companies. For the price and ease of use no one else has given me a reason to leave.
Perfect for Our Needs
What do you like best about the product?
The convenience and ease of posting across all networks with the insights on posting time that Sprout is so well known for is what I would consider the best part of Sprout Social. I've had jobs where I've had to log into each network separately and manually do all the posting. It's a huge chore and not the best way to work at all in my opinion. We have to manage five accounts, and that's just too much without a solution like Sprout in place.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I don't like, and this is the platforms' fault and not Sprout's, is that working with video can sometimes be a bit tough. I would love to post multiple videos to Facebook, but they don't let me. I would love to post longer videos to Instagram, but for standard posts, you can't. I can't blame any of that on Sprout. Otherwise, my list of complaints about the platform is empty.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My teammates and I are able to collaborate and to do so in a time-efficient way. That collaboration was done before through emails and outl oud conversations which are easy to lose track of and quite possibly forget. That, plus the reporting functionality, is what sets Sprout apart. I don't know that many other platforms have the reporting capability that Sprout Social has. When it comes time to present to management, everything I need is a few clicks away.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would say it's the best of what's out there and getting better by the day.
Incredible social media management tool - if you can afford it.
What do you like best about the product?
The analytics on this platform are AMAZING. It also is a great scheduling program and content platform. It also has a CRM tool that allows you to track your history with different customers on social media.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was too expensive for us to keep using long-term.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used it to speed up our social media posting and reporting process. We also were considering using it to host our 100+ local area Facebook Pages and have our moderator team use it, but it did not end up being cost-effective for that use.
Super easy social media management
What do you like best about the product?
Sprout Social has a great interface, and I think it is one of the best social media management tools I have used.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really haven't had any problems with Sprout Social.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sprout Social makes it incredibly easy to manage many social media accounts at once.
Marketing Specialist
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can schedule posts ahead of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish I could edit my pictures right on the sight for Instagram. I have to post Instagram mostly from my phone app
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No problems accept the Instagram piece. It saves a ton of time not having to go into each social media format to post.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You will love it, it saves a ton of time. It is very efficient and easy to use.
So easy and streamlined!
What do you like best about the product?
I love being able to post on multiple social media platforms at once. I don't have to go to multiple sites to queue posts - it's all in one convenient place! I've also found the optimal post times feature to be incredibly helpful. I used to spend hours researching the best times to post on social media, but Sprout Social automates this process and caters it to my specific audience. It saves me so much time! I also like the calendar layout of the publishing page. Having a visual element to see when I have post schedules is incredibly helpful for ensuring that I keep up with our established content calendar. I can see gaps and opportunities for posts, all laid out in one place.
What do you dislike about the product?
Because I submit posts for approval by my supervisor, it can be a bit confusing and hard to rectify when one of my posts doesn't get approved by its scheduled time. The notification that the post wasn't made is hard to find.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've been able to greatly increase audience engagement with our media through Sprout Social. While we used to only post once a week, now we're able to increase the number of posts we make, thus increasing our audience. When we conducted a big day of fundraising a couple weeks ago, we were able to seamlessly make multiple posts throughout the day. This encouraged people to check out our fundraising page multiple times, therefore increasing our total number of donations!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I've found Sprout Social to be extremely helpful regardless of industry. Any company or organization you work for that balances multiple social media platforms will benefit from this platform.
Sprout is the best!
What do you like best about the product?
I love that you can monitor all of your brand's social media platforms as well as tracking brand perception and overall analytics
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish sprout had a Facebook moderation feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we have realized the importance of social media and how it can shape a brands perception in the mind of the consumer
