Hootsuite enables me to be sure that I am consistent and regular in my social sharing. By scheduling all my posts I am always on time and am sure that my followers are kept up to date and informed
Can't find much I don't like! It always meets my expectations
Analytics are very important in my job. By knowing what ois working best (and what isn't) I can be sure that I'm providing content that is valuable to my readers
I love how easy it is to schedule. Especially the calendar view. I also love the recommended times to post, that saves a lot of time for us, since we're a marketing agency. I also love the reporting. I can pull up a report 5 minutes before a meeting and it will seem like we took a lot of time building it out. It's also super easy to teach other people how to use.
Sometimes the accounts disconnects, and I feel that there is not enough notification about that.
It's solving the issue of manual labor. I don't want to hire someone to exclusively be posting manually every day. It makes no sense. It also makes analytics easy, showing my clients a wholistic view of their digital presence.
It's so easy to use and cuts my time in half when posting on all of our social media accounts.
I haven't ran into any issues since being a customer.
I can complete the tasks of posting to all of our social media page in no time. This is beneficial because I have so many other duties to complete and it helps out alot.
I love how I can schedule things ahead of time and how many accounts I can schedule for postings. It's made things much more convient so I can schedule things for my account a month in advance if I wanted to. It was so hard before to post things manually and set time aside, now I can save time.
I think it would be more convient to be able to shape things into a format for Instagram when I schedule things for Facebook and Instagram.
It's helping me keep our social media pages active and up to date with the latest things happening.
Hootsuite enables me to push information to various Social Media containing vital information.
I have found no dislikes regarding the use of Hootsuite.
Hootsuite is a quick way to hit various Social Media
My favorite part about Hootsuite is how EASY it is to use!! Everything is in an easy-to-use layout, and the analytics are more than easy to read. It's so easy to pull what I need to in a report and export it very quickly.
In my opinion, the only downside to Hootsuite is the price.
Hootsuite solves the problems of getting analytics from each platform. It saves so much time when going through the approval process.
being able to analyze against competitors
posting stories on meta-platforms is hard.
It's hard to make sure I have all my analytics. And that I'm posting regularly. It's nice to have them in one place.
The most helpful thing about Hootsuite is the planning capabilities along with the analytics performance measurements. It has helped us make more strategic decisions.
I wish we could schedule stories on Facebook.
Posting when we are not in the office. Trying out different posts, and seeing what works based on Analytics.
simplifying and scheduling social media management.
I can not schedule content simultaneously on different social media via mobile.
Timing and making content and 100 other things.
The best Assistant and guidance to post on social media. I use it to schedule posts on my blogs on LinkedIn. It is a very productive tool!
Having the student version, there are some limitations of AI tools to use and a limited number of scheduled posts.
Schedule posts in advance and guidance
I enjoy the ease of making posts for our agency each week- sometimes I am short of time to make organic posts so I can always rely on the stock posts for our company to schedule and plan for the week ahead. It is easy to implement our seasonal message, the customer support is fabulous/ I use Hootsuite weekly and sometime daily- the number of features I can use to personalize my message are endless and I have not had a problem even after one year integrating our company message during differen campaigns.
I have not found any real downsides yet after a year of use.
I can stay in touch with all of my agents social media sites and keep the information fresh on a weekly or even daily basis. I go to one site ( Hootesuite ) and I am instantly connecting with our customers on 3 different platforms. This even feeds into our website and helps to keep that content fresh and on the top of the search results.
The platform is easy to use and intuitive for those who are not familiar with the program. Schedule multiple e-mails at once and track conversions all in one place. Data pull is easy to register your ROI.
Having to edit each individual social platform once the message has been launched in the program.
I have no issues that Hootsuite is solving. They just make posting and managing social easy.
As a small business, we market on multiple social channels, Hootsuite allows us to do it all at one time! I do a video, I upload it and then pick five (5) different account types to launch it too all at once.
I do not like that we can only do 1 Twitter account at a time..Boo..
It gives us the ability to speed up our promotions as well as to post to 5 social accounts at one time multiple times a day.
The easy posting interface, the calendar views, the AI feature (don't use a ton, but when I do it's been very helpful), the "duplicate" feature as I promote training and like to post on weekends, evenings in addition to the business day. Helpful not to redo it from scratch each time.
I honestly cannot think of anything at the moment.
To be able to post to all three platforms in one shot, to view the calendar at a glance to see where I have "holes" in content, to plan out in advance my social media calendar while allowing for last minute additions as things invariably change.
I am currently managing 15 different accounts so time-saving is one of the most important keys to maintaining each profile. When I was introduced to Hootsuite, it was a breath of fresh air. Notifications. messages, analytics, and scheduling on one platform have been fantastic. It is safe to say I use Hootsuite each and every day. Anytime I needed help, the customer service has always been great as well.
My absolute only dislike would be that sometimes my Facebook notifications don't pop up. Sometimes even if they do come up, it is not until later.
Managing each profile on one tab rather than many open tabs on my computer & wasting time clicking around.
