Hootsuite is best Social Media posting tool available

  • April 27, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like how hootsuite's dashboard has been setup. Its is much more simple than that of competition in rignite which I also tried. Hootsuite also offers a wealth of training tools for new marketers to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the stream setup function I would prefer a single stream setup for all media similar to rignite in this regard. I don't like to the post to instagram feature now that Instagram requires you to use a mobile phone to upload to instagram. Because of this setup I always have to be available via my phone to post.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to post to all my social channels simultaneously with ease. The dashboard for scheduling has saved me from tons of individual posting dates. And with multiple clients using social this is a life saver.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend improving the Instagram integration in hootsuite. I would also recommend a better price on the agency subscription. If there is a desktop version of hootsuite I have yet to find it and would prefer that rather than the online version.

What do you like best about the product?
Multiple users at once, able to monitor multiple channels at once, basically a multitasker for the already hectic social media manager.
What do you dislike about the product?
The fact that is not as effective as others, In certain platforms we cannot add certain attachments, be sure to do it manually or go back and edit...then again, double the work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
simple social media content posting for the everyday task.
Can schedule content for multiple days.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
This is great for small businesses. It is easy to use and track the different channels. Also, great when managing and levering social media content.

No dislikes so far. I've only been using the software for 3 months now but I'm satisfied so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Regain your time!

What do you like best about the product?
the ability to schedule way ahead on posts. i can match my inspirations with the times that people would see them. much more effective than the random 2am post. if it were not for hootsuite i would miss my target audience entirely. also since scheduled posts are not instant, i do not run into the issue of putting the toothpaste back in the tube, i have a little time if i need to fine tune the message. also for quick thoughts, i can get them on schedule before other projects cloud the thought at hand, its just the way that producing on social media should be.
What do you dislike about the product?
not as reliable to tag others from hootsuite. it does not seem to be a firm replacement for posting including other business and individuals as using the other social media platforms direct interface. but this is not a deal breaker for me.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
timesavings, hands down. dont get mired into comsuming all the content of others, i can focus on what i have to publish and move on to other projects. I dont get sucked in to the debates of others which has no bearing on the outcome of my business. i get to promote myself and get out. keeps the distractions of social media out of my focus while still getting my message out to the world. less time is spent on social media allowing other things to get done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
try it, especially the scheduling, and you'll never use anything else.

Easy to use and helpful.

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I found the site easy to navigate and use. There are handy tutorials available to walk you through the process of creating posts, setting them to auto-post, or post in advance. I'm able to link all my social media accounts both personal and work associated ones. It's not often that I have a glitch or issue with posting.
What do you dislike about the product?
I did have an issue with billing. I sent an email to the team and received a quick response and break down.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I haven't had any business problems with it. It's benefited me in a lot of ways because it's super easy for me to do. I can take just an hour a day or even two if I want to and have a week's worth of postings set, scheduled and ready to go. I check daily to make sure that the posts have gone through.

Great product

  • April 25, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like it because because you can schedule posts for different social media sites for free. You can also monitor trends and different hashtags. For instance, I want to stay up-to-date on industry trends. For instance, I work with learning disabilities. I want to know what news is surrounding #learningdisabilities, #adhd, #autism etc. I also schedule my tweets and facebook posts through hootsuite. I use it for both my personal and professional work.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have anything to complain about other than when you scroll over the area to schedule a post. I hate that if you accidentally scroll away (without clicking), the scheduler goes away which is annoying. Also, I wish I could filter what I'm monitoring. For instance, I work at a learning disabilities focused nonprofit in the US. However, when I do social media monitoring for learning disabilities, a lot of information comes out of the United Kingdom because of Mencap. I wish I could filter out UK posts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think we aren't solving "business problems..." It's just making life easier by scheduling posts for two of our social media sites at the same time. Yes, I can schedule our posts directly on Facebook, however, you can't on Twitter. So why not save time and do two social media sites at the same time?
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's free and it's easy. If you pay, you can have more features, however, if you are using this for a small business or for your personal life, then you shouldn't need to pay for it.

Great Product to use for social media!

  • April 25, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It makes it incredibly easy to schedule social media posts for the future and the program will post for me. It condenses links so you can keep character count low for platforms like Twitter. I can monitor my scheduled posts, my profile, my feed, my events, where we have been mentioned and so much more!
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally, the program doesn't post. I would guess every 1 out of 500 posts do not get posted. For Instagram, I dislike that it doesn't post it automatically. You have to go through the Instagram app to do any filters you want and copy your caption into the text box.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can spend an hour scheduling social media posts and not think about them for the next week or two. Instead of checking and posting social media everyday, I can spend a solid chunk of time and schedule everything out in advanced

Hootsuite is amazing for managing social acccounts

  • April 25, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Hootsuite for years and it is one of the best products to manage multiple streams for an account as well as manage the social for multiple accounts.
What do you dislike about the product?
The layout is a bit clunky, and I wish it was native, not just browser based!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building influencer relationships, and in the past we have done this to cross promote marketing collateral.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Absolutely give it a shot. There are few other products at this pricepoint that do the same.

Hootsuite for Social Media Scheduling

  • April 25, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about using Hootsuite for scheduling and monitoring was BY FAR the bulk uploading option for Twitter (and Facebook)
What do you dislike about the product?
There really wasn't anything that i disliked about Hootsuite.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As I states above, monitoring and scheduling social media was made so much easier while using Hootsuite. Being able to bulk upload and then see all of the market posts on one page was extremely helpful.
