Sprout just makes social media easier.
What do you like best about the product?
Sprout makes it easy to collaborate as a team, work through multiple campaign projects and deliver consistent reporting to our stakeholders. Our team frequently receives updates from our accounts managers and relevant information from customer support.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would appreciate integration between platforms, such as the ability to schedule first comments on Facebook and TikTok like users can do on Instagram.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to respond to people's questions about information we post. This organic feedback also allows us to develop content, such as blogs, FAQs, etc., to increase our content helpfulness and reach.
Solid social scheduling platform with analytics
What do you like best about the product?
My favourite feature is being able to tag social posts and be able to see the performance of posts according to campaign/categories. They recently came out with a new feature where you can schedule posts for multiple platforms at once, and that has also been helpful for saving time!
What do you dislike about the product?
Overall, I find Sprout Social easy to use and convenient. The biggest downside is not being able to tag people on Linkedin that do not follow your company page. As a result, sometimes I have to use the native scheduler instead for certain posts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sprout Social is a convenient tool for me to plan out my social calendar and also schedule out social media posts. It's also great to be able to see analytics without having to go to the different platforms and collate the information by myself.
Sprout Social Improves My Workday
What do you like best about the product?
There are so many different features of Sprout Social that help bring our social media strategy to life. From the scheduling, to the reporting, to the social listening, all aspects of Sprout Social's software is intuitive, easy to use and helpful for all our social media needs. I use Sprout every day and it makes my job a lot easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have run into issues with Sprout not pulling all comments from campaigns into the Smart Inbox.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me track all the comments on all my campaigns, which I would otherwise have to do manually. It saves me a lot of time in my workday.
The best social media management tool on the market
What do you like best about the product?
Sprout Social provides all the tools you need to manage a brand's social media presence. The publishing calendar integrates with all major social platforms and makes it easy to schedule and publish content to various channels and using different media types. On the reporting side, Premium Analytics has saved us — no joke — hundreds of hours, replacing previous manual work by automatically pulling in metrics from all the major networks in a customized report. With the tagging system, we can quickly track how specific campaigns or content topics are performing in a matter of seconds. Finally, the Smart Inbox is our one-stop shop for all the comments and messages we receive, bringing them into a single place from across our different networks. You are able to assign comments to specific users to respond accordingly, hide comments, ban users, and measure sentiment all from within the Smart Inbox.
When we embarked on identifying a new social media management tool years ago, we tested out all of the big ones available, and Sprout Social performed the best in all of our major categories by far. It is an excellent tool and makes a tough job easier.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some limitations on what is pulled into Sprout (link clicks for Threads, Facebook Story analytics, etc.), but those are typically related to API limitations. Once the networks make them available, Sprout is quick to enact them.
I will say, if you are an enterprise client with numerous groups, there is quite a bit of cross-pollination that occurs with the creation of tags and campaigns since they default to an "all groups" visibility. Ideally, these would only be visible within their respective group by default, but users often overlook this, which can create some disorganization behind the scenes.

My Sprout Social experience has been positive.
What do you like best about the product?
The amount of time I am able to save in the content scheduling and reporting process. Incredibly straightforward setup.
What do you dislike about the product?
That there is not a way to filter the publishing calendar by content type, with the amount of stories we reshare daily it can be hard to get a clear picture for the day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scheduling social content across multiple platforms and distilling performance into reports that inform our strategy.
Effortless Social Media Management with Excellent Customization
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how Sprout Social makes it much easier for me to manage a high volume of posts, especially with the ability to customize content for each platform while scheduling at different times. Doing all this within a single screen is incredibly convenient. The ease of customization per post across multiple platforms is the most useful feature I find.
What do you dislike about the product?
I encountered a learning curve with Sprout Social, particularly with certain features such as scheduling options. It wasn't overly difficult overall, but there were areas that required more effort to master.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I find Sprout Social simplifies managing multiple client channels, enhancing post quantity and customization for each platform and scheduling, all from a single screen.
Sprout Social made my job a little easier by assisting me in posting on time.
What do you like best about the product?
I streamlined my operations with Sprout Social and use it to schedule posts for multiple client accounts. The calendar view is helpful in understanding published versus scheduled posts and it streamlines my ability to batch schedule posts to avoid the daily rush. I like that my team drafts posts and I'm the one they send for review and approval before it goes live. The email ping pong game is no longer played and that is a big deal.
What do you dislike about the product?
As a small business myself and having to juggle multiple accounts, I was disappointed to learn that the prices were not competitive. I was also a bit disappointed to learn that I had to work on Story and other layout scheduling. I appreciate the overall assessment, although they appear to me overly general, and I wish I could customize them more to the client’s objectives. It serves well, and even though I am reluctant to say it is the best I could find, I take solace in the fact that I am not the only one being charged for these other features and multiple other reasons.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Without burning out, I am able to maintain my posting consistency across clients thanks to Sprout Social. It saves me the swiveling work of having to log in to various platforms as well as the approval workflows, so my clients and I can collaborate more easily. It takes care of the social content even in my absence, and that saves me multiple hours in a week.
Sprout Social is very reliable, strong, and customer-focused.
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about Sprout Social is that you can report, publish, and talk to people all from the same place. I also love the smart inbox because it lets me keep track of every brand mention and respond without having to log into a lot of different accounts. Also, the tags and campaign tracking let me keep track of very specific themes and events for my clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sprout Social’s mobile app isn’t as user friendly as the desktop version, and I often prefer working on my laptop for a smoother experience. It can also feel a bit overwhelming at the beginning, but once you get a live session with support, the learning curve eases up quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sprout Social saves me an incredible amount of time by consolidating publishing, engagement and analytics in one place and I don’t need to jump between tools anymore. My clients especially value the post approval workflow, which gives them peace of mind before content goes live. Compared to alternatives like eClincher, which I’ve also used, Sprout feels more polished and structured, especially when handling large teams and multiple campaigns at once.
provides comprehensive social media management
What do you like best about the product?
their support team, and robust analytics reports on post performance, audience engagement and more
What do you dislike about the product?
wide array of features were overwhelming at first, especially for us coming from TalkWalker which was a limited social media analytics tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
dashboard is easy to understand for our managers. we also like the notifications about recent post activity as we sign in to the account
Very detailed Platform
What do you like best about the product?
I can really appreciate how many tools Sprout has fit into their platform while still making it very intuitive. I don't usually have much issue finding what I'm looking for despite the many option. I also appreciate the amount of support I've recieved during onboaring. The team has really focused on making sure I'm using the platform to its potential and it's been very easy connecting all our social media accounts to the platform. I pretty much use Sprout every day now.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't been using Sprout long enough to really find anything that I dislike about it. The only thing I have to compare it to is Hootsuite, and even though I still really like Hootsuite, Sprout is much more beneficial for what I need from this type of platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sprout is making it much easier for me to understand the industry my company is in with its social listening skill. I wasn't very familiar with the industry before, and what is important to our audience, but now I have a better idea and can keep watch on any important news or trends.
