Sophisticated software
What do you like best about the product?
Sprout Social still remains the top social media management software for publishing. The formatting is perfect and for professionally managed accounts, that is paramount.
The social listening tools help you bring value to stakeholders.
I also enjoy the published post reports to visually see which pieces of content perform the best and the ability to toggle between KPIs.

What do you dislike about the product?
For the cost, I think there are too many limitations on what kinds of data we can pull. I am not pleased about the most recent price increase.
Also, TikTok and Reels is still not fully integrated and I have to manually publish that media from my phone.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I depended on high quality reports to provide value for my clients. The pullback on Meta analytics is killing me at the moment.
Pleasing, but could be simpler.
What do you like best about the product?
I like the look of sprout social, because I think it's more modern and nicer than Hootsuite. I also enjoy the amount of reporting and the way the graphs are designed.
It's also nice that I can easily create Advocacy posts from within the social window, or if I've already posted something, so just push the post to Advocacy.

What do you dislike about the product?
I really reeaaaalllly dislike that we have to enter in a one time passcode every. single. time I login. Sometimes I'm logging in upwards of 10 times a day, and it's extremely annoying. Could you just do the one time passcode once a day? Just feels unnecessary.
I wish I could simplify the menu. The main reason why I use Sprout is to schedule and plan social, so I'd like Publisher to be first, and I'd like to get rid of the extra options and features that I don't use.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed a platform that would allow me to schedule my social media, look at performance, and connect to my employee advocacy program. By being able to have everything in the same place, it saves me time and increases accuracy. I'm able to post more often, and optimize those posts by looking at a social calendar, and selecting to post at the most optimal times. I also like to be able to see what types/topics of posts are performing best, which I can do by using tags.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to manage media data easily

Why We Switched from Sprout Social to SocialPilot
What do you like best about the product?
The listening tool in the Sprout Social solution is one of the better ones in any social marketing solution. The engagement and analytics are on par with the other major players in this space. It is easy to set up and use. THe time to learn the platform is minimal.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing structure maxes out at ten profiles unless you have an enterprise plan and the professional plan at $149/mo on an annual plan (or Advanced at $249/mo) is quite expensive when considering that only ten social profiles are available. The standard plan has fewer features and is limited to five social profiles, and is $89/mo. Compare this to SocialPilot, which has 50 profiles available for $50/month. The features are comparable except the more robust listening tool within SProutSocial.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sprout Social addresses the needs of larger organizations. As most do not have more than ten profiles (for the organization), it meets most companies' requirements. However, from an agency perspective, it is price prohibitive with the profile limitations. Other solutions are better priced and have similar features available.
Good program
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to schedule reels. When not using in-app sounds, being able to schedule reels is very helpful
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't choose music for reels, meaning I have to upload them separate from the app
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Makes monthly planning so much easier having everything in one place
Great but pricey
What do you like best about the product?
I love Sprout's integrated calendar so you can see everything that is drafted or published in one place. Being able to have the entire team collaborate in the same place has been very helpful. It's much more in depth than other platforms I have used in regards to social media scheduling.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though Sprout is very thorough and a great platform, it is extremely pricey for non-profits. Luckily, the reps were able to work out a manageable discount for my organization, until realizing the premium analytics were an ADDITIONAL cost that is out of our budget. I wish that was made more clear and/or just included in the price for a professional plan.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It wasn't a problem, but it is making it easier for my team to collaborate and review each others' work all in one place, so it streamlines our process. We are also able to see the improvement in real-time.
Used Sprout Social for a Couple Months so far...
What do you like best about the product?
Easy and quick and useful for collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish that I could see a feed for comments/feedback under the "Needs Approval" tab.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy communication between our communication/marketing team and admin team of our organization.
Great starter social management tool!
What do you like best about the product?
The platform itself is very user-friendly! The reports are easy to read and build and the asset library is a lifesaver! The tag library and scheduling is great for us being a company with hundreds of locations.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are quite a few limitations Sprout has that caps the long-term possibilities with the platform. Limited API connections, inability to bulk delete, and account management is spotty.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bulk scheduling, reporting, and a large asset library. Being able to schedule content out at optimal times is a game-changer for our company. The reports also allow us to tell a social media story that simple and digestible for those that aren't in marketing.
The platform is great, but the customer service is very difficult to get in touch with.
What do you like best about the product?
Automation! Employee Advocacy and scheduling abilities are my favorite.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customer service/support doesn't reply, so it's hard to troubleshoot or get responses. Some reps throughout the process have been better than others. Wish there was more customized purchasing and pricing options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling, tracking and scaling our social media and employee advocacy
