Handy for multiple account monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use, it's easy to toggle the settings to see what's been answered. And it's easy to switch between multiple accounts quickly. Nice to see all comments from a user, historically.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasional duplicated ad comments, I believe this has been fixed but it was a real pain. Some user pains but overall ok.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
24/7 crisis monitoring, customer service questions, customer service trends, review management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are working with multiple client pages on multiple channels, Sprout is easy to work with.
Sprout Social Tool
What do you like best about the product?
At this point, I have really enjoyed the ability to queue up posts for multiple accounts. This makes it easy to see what is coming down the pipeline for social posts. I always THOROUGHLY enjoy the analytics! They are super in-depth and give you lots of different data points to go off of.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would say Sprout Social is not fully intuitive...I can find it hard to navigate at times. I have had to search for a while to find certain things and felt frustrated I couldn't find the section I needed. This service offers so much that I'm still learning how to navigate all of the tools available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving the problem of being able to schedule social posts days in advance, and having access to analytics helps me determine which types of content perform the best.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sprout Social is an excellent tool for use of Social media planning and analytics.
Intuitive Interface, Boosts Multichannel Management
What do you like best about the product?
I really appreciate Sprout Social for its user-friendly interface and the ease it brings to scheduling and publishing content. Managing content across multiple platforms is particularly seamless, which is something I value highly. When it comes to handling online reviews, Sprout Social makes management significantly easier compared to other larger platforms I have used in the past. This ease of use and capability is a major reason I switched from previous tools like Hey Orca and Later. Additionally, I found the initial setup of Sprout Social to be quite straightforward, with no issues encountered, which was a relief. Overall, the capabilities and user interface of Sprout Social are standout features that benefit my workflow tremendously.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only downside I find with Sprout Social is its high cost, which might be a barrier for some users. Even though the features and interface are impressive, the pricing is a significant consideration. Especially for us, who work in the non-profit space.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Sprout Social to easily manage multiple clients, schedule and publish social content across platforms, and handle online reviews and reputation. It's more manageable compared to larger platforms.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ask for a trial run! That sold us. There's more features than you can think of!
Does what it needs to do, could use minor improvements
What do you like best about the product?
My primary role is writing social posts for an agency. I like the Needs Approval flow and compose windows. It's easy to share work and projects with coworkers on a distributed team.
What do you dislike about the product?
However, the compose windows don't keep up with the changing algorithm/format the posts need to be. Sprout is months behind on changing the send to compose windows to the proper format for LinkedIn and Facebook.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sprout allows us to create social posts and schedule them across many clients. It helps me work with account managers and my fellow writers on ideas and management of posts.
Easy to use!
What do you like best about the product?
Sprout has the typical features you would expect of a social media scheduling took, but perhaps the best feature is the analytics and ability to tag posts and see performance by tag.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish social media listening was included and not an additional cost. I also wish you didn't have to pay by the number of accounts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sprout Social makes managing multiple social media accounts super easy. I love the easy to use reporting and not having to log into multiple accounts.
Easy to navigate
What do you like best about the product?
I like the Calendar aspect of the platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish I could see my whole Instagram feed with new pics included
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Planning, no need to manually post
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Capability to see whole feed
Easy way to draft and schedule social media content in advance
What do you like best about the product?
It's so helpful to be able to draft content ahead of time and schedule it in advance. I particularly love being able to schedule Instagram posts in Sprout Social instead of my phone.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a way to colour code schedule content for my reference. This would help me categorize the type of content I'm publishing. I don't think there's anything that doesn't work properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now, it's a lot easier to have a high-level view of what content is planned for the upcoming weeks/months. I've become so much more productive! My business performance has definitely increased.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I highly recommend it! It will help you to plan out your content and save time.
Sprout has helped us as a team transform our way of working on socials
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to schedule posts through the social tools is extremely important - as well as building sentiment analysis. Without these, my job would be 10x more difficult, as I would be spending a lot more time creating manual reports or manually posting.
What do you dislike about the product?
I believe there is a LOT in Sprout, in that there are many areas I do not use. It can be a little overwhelming at times. The sentiment analysis in particular can be a little confusing, and seemingly no way to remove entries from searches.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to schedule all social posts for a week at once saves a lot of time. Reporting the best performing posts from a topline perspective gives a us a great opportunity to share our wins from a snapshot.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to spend time speaking with the Sprout team, they provide valuable insight
Makes My Life Easy

I wish the platform allowed individual profile tagging for people; suggestions for alternative timezones
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sprout Social has helped us create an actual social *plan* with scheduling out posts; it helps me not have to sign in to each account individually to post the same thing
