Very Customizable to your needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes messages don't get sent, but you don't know until you look at the social platform. I have had experience where I am not notified about an Instagram send out. I do not like that I don't receive the invoice at a decent time every month. Not Hootsuite's fault but not being able to view the Instagram home feed to regram anymore is not ideal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Time saving with scheduling and seeing analytics on what is working and what is not.
Such a time/life saver!
What do you like best about the product?
ease of use, accessibility, organisation, the platforms available
What do you dislike about the product?
the font size could be larger, or have a scroll over to preview.

overall planning for social media and marketing strategies. When everything is planned in advance it makes it that much easier to be prepared for what is ahead in the coming weeks.

Social monitoring, scheduling and analytics tool
What do you like best about the product?
Multi stream view for monitoring, scheduling tools and analytics
What do you dislike about the product?
Analytics are not very easy to understand, and most available only through premium service...yet its not premium data they are analyzing. Also when posting to twitter the content does not carry over properly (i.e. photos, links)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling needs and multi network monitoring. Scheduling tool is a huge benefit.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Utilize it but find what works for you
I use Hootsuite ever day.
What do you like best about the product?
I love the fact that it's free. I love the fact that I can schedule tweets days, weeks, and months in advance. I appreciate the basic analytics that are provided to free users.
What do you dislike about the product?
When I copy and paste the title of a news article along with the URL to the piece in to the box on Hootsuite that allows me to schedule tweets, it takes a few seconds for me to be able to see everything that I just pasted into the box. I find it irritating. Also, the pop up box that appears when I finally succeed in shortening a URL appears directly on top of the box where I'm still trying to compose my tweet. Grrr. On occasion, tweets that I've scheduled in advance are sent out without the links that I've shortened. Once again, grrr. Copy and pasting Twitter handles into Hootsuite is now a pain that Hootsuite is linked to Twitter so that when a user starts typing "@TwitterHandle" it turns blue and links to the Twitter account. I don't know every Twitter handle off the top of my head. I want to be able to copy and past them in without having to retype them to make sure they link to Twitter.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage the social media for a few different entities that operate globally. I can't send out tweets at all hours of the day and night. I need this tool for scheduling tweets that go out at all different times to reach followers in time zones across the globe from Dubai to Seoul and Beijing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I can't believe that any company or organization isn't using Hootsuite. I recommend it to all of my affiliates and clients. Take advantage of this tool that allows you to communicate with your customers, clients, and partners 24/7 wherever they live around the world.
Hootsuite User Review

I love that I can schedule social media posts ahead of time with Hootsuite and that I have the option to receive an email when the posts are sent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Every now and again my posts don't push out to my social media networks.

HootSuite saves the day!
What do you like best about the product?
HootSuite makes scheduling social media content super easy. The Link shortener works within the dash and helps you save precious characters in tweets. Great for collaboration. Easy to use content calendar/manager.
What do you dislike about the product?
Analytics need some work. They are good, but some of the bigger platforms offer more in-depth insights. Occasional hiccups with posts going live.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to collaborate. Free accounts. Manage social media and content easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start out with the free level before moving up, unless you absolutely need the enterprise level. The offer training and even have a social media academy, which is very helpful to beginners.
Great Time Saver!
What do you like best about the product?
It's so easy to schedule a whole month of social media post in just one day. It's such a lifesaver, and gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing that it's finished. I can also add in posts, move posts, and delete posts in advance if something comes up. It's a fairly usable dashboard, and the streams make it easy to check that everything has posted on time, that the photos are all there, and that my media platforms are all consistent.
What do you dislike about the product?
The dashboard is fairly usable, but when I hover over anything in left column, there are so many pop ups that I can't see anything around it. The app, which I have on my phone to publish to Instagram, is a bit tricky sometimes. If I'm scheduling a post through the app, the 'send' and 'schedule' icons are really close together, and a couple of times I've ended up sending out a post that I meant to schedule for a later time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm able to create and present a consistent and streamlined promotional campaign across multiple social platforms at once. I don't have to be tied to my desktop; I can post Insta posts on the weekends from my phone with a quick reminder. Hoosuite lets me have complete control over what gets posted, and when. I am also saving time by being able to upload and schedule a month's worth of post in one day. It frees me up to complete other tasks!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Definitely worth a try. The free program includes three social platforms, which is plenty for a company (or person) just starting to create a social media campaign or branding campaign. It may feel a little clunky at first, but after a test post, everything is pretty clear. There is also a good help section onboard, and Hootsuite is popular enough that you can get additional help via the internet at large. You're not going to risk anything by trying it, but you will get a major reward.
