Hootsuite - My Command Center Time Saver!
What do you like best about the product?
Being the sole person in my department responsible for two institutions, its important that I can go to one place and have all of the social media marketing at my fingertips. I can plan for peak times to get my message out and I can set future postings for when I'm busy doing other things.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although I am now used to it, when I first began using Hootsuite I found that it was a little daunting to have so much on one page. There is so much going on and very little white-space. It took me a few weeks to not feel 'stressed out' every time I had to use it, but I always considered it a 'necessary evil'
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There is always so much to promote, whether it is a new paper, research achievement or an event. There is always so much going on that has to be done in a timely manner. I work in conjunction with the University my institutes are connected with and so its important that we don't look like we are falling behind on reporting. I use Hootsuite to cut down the time it takes to post across the board and I'm darn lucky I have it! Tasks that would previously take an hour to complete are done in less than half that time. Its a life-saver when I'm busy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Whether you are an individual trying to take care of numerous accounts or a professional working for a business or institute, this product is something that keeps you organized and up to date with everything you need. The fact that this is free makes it all the better in my opinion. Its a straightforward way to look at all of your social media and for someone who has to take care of 4 plus accounts, like I do, it's my go-to software on a daily basis.
What would I do without it?
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can schedule a post far in advance and forget about it. The dashboard is also really easy to read and simple to navigate. I can type out a post once and have it post on several different social media platforms.
What do you dislike about the product?
When you schedule a post for Instagram, you still have to go into the app when the time comes and copy/paste the post into Instagram. So you really can't just schedule it and forget about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I spend way less time on a day to day basis posting on social media- I can schedule it all at one time. I can easy browse and respond to posts from all different social media platforms all on one screen.
Love Hootsuite
What do you like best about the product?
Hootsuite's very easy to use, and it lets you manage multiple social media accounts right from your browser for very easy use. I use it every day to schedule tweets and FB posts.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it also had some more automated features, like Tweetwheel where you can arrange for the same queue of messages to be shared on a rotating basis.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Social media, scheduling tweets, etc.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely check it out and try the "free" version first to make sure it's right for you.
Multiple accounts in one window
What do you like best about the product?
When maintaining multiple social media accounts and having the responsibility to update it regularly it can becomes such a great hassle. Hootsuite plays the vital role here, I can see all my social media accounts in one window and the best is yet to come, I can even post on multiple accounts from one window.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a limitation to the image capacity and size when uploading. There are problems encountered when posting pictures on Instagram through hootsuite otherwise it is one of the best applications for multiple account management.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When am in deadlines to make regular posts on the social media and to post in multiple accounts it is a trouble navigating from apps to apps. But hootsuite alone helps to post and maintain my social media in a perfect way.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The best application if you are using for maintaining company websites
Perfect for busy Social Media Marketers
What do you like best about the product?
I love the layout and the design, it is perfect for viewing streams in an organized manner and helps centralize every account I have to manage. I can schedule posts for a week in advance and it really helps so I don't forget to post something. I love the app for my iPhone because it helps with posting to Instagram, it sends me a little reminder and just like that its posted.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I don't like is sometimes it doesn't allow me to tag people or pages from there and I have to manually go in through facebook to do it, but other than that it really has become my right-hand man in my daily job operations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving time management and being able to effectively post at different times every day rather than the same time or forget to post all together. When you have 15 different accounts to post to like I do daily, it gets hard to remember which ones I have posted to and I haven't.
Great social scheduling platform
What do you like best about the product?
Hootsuite is an easy-to-use social scheduling platform for Twitter and Facebook. A paid premium version allows you to have multiple seats. Easy to add link and photos/videos. Can view week/month at a glance views. "Suggestions" in beta was great! The analytics are good, but not life changing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's a little wonky with refreshing and saving drafts--nothing too problematic though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving scheduling social media across channels across multiple users.
Keep track of all accounts in one place
What do you like best about the product?
Loved this free tool that keeps track of multiple accounts in real time. You can also connect multiple users so more than one person can monitor at a time
What do you dislike about the product?
The free version has only basic functionality
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeps track of social media interactions, hashtags and accounts in one place. Helps me communicate quickly with social media users
Great Tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's a low-cost solution that anyone can use
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently having problem integrating with Facebook
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Social media calendar
Convenient, Easy
What do you like best about the product?
I like to use this product to schedule tweets and shares throughout the year. Very convenient.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes scheduled tweets and shares get lost in the stream. Sometimes this site crashes when I need it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving the time it takes to regularly tweet and share via FB
Great price for posting, scheduling and listening across dozens of social media platforms
What do you like best about the product?
Listening! there are lots of scheduling platforms, but Hoot suite allows you to monitor hashtags, words and people that makes it infinitely more easy to track campaigns. With the purchase of AdEspresso they are completely knocking all competition out of the park
What do you dislike about the product?
Why do they charge more for basic reports and graphs?! It is seriously all automated and getting what I need for me and clients has to be made so much more difficult. Other companies offer this for less than what they are asking, but I d 't want to be in different apps
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For me, the 2 big ones are scheduling one post across platforms and into groups, and 2) monitoring specific campaigns
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just get started adding your accounts and groups. When you can send one post to 10 different spots saving you an hour - you'll be done!
