Asana has a task list, Trello doesn't. Asana has different views, Trello only has one. The Asana mobile app is amazingly easy to use. Trello can be confusing for some people. Trello is free for unlimited users, Asana requires payment for more users and integrations. Trello also …
I believe Hootsuite is very user-friendly. Not to say the others aren't, but I feel like HS is fairly easy to hit the ground running on content management. I have found Hootsuite's suggestions on content and best times to post are much better than its competitors. I feel like …
I do find Hootsuite to be more user-friendly, cleaner, and includes much more reporting for the price. Sprout Social charges quite a bit more for fewer reports and fewer included aspects, like listening and ads. The interface is more aesthetically pleasing, as well, and seems …
HubSpot and SocialPilot suck they're not that easy to use. Later does stack up against Hootsuite with features already mentioned. They also have more color and branding on their website and I know that's a small thing but I'm surprised Hootsuite is all white.
Our team had a budget of $1000 annually for a social media management tool. We wanted functionality like Sprout Social but we couldn't afford the price tag. Hootsuite was our next best because we got almost all or similar functions of Sprout Social within our budget and more! …
Tried trials of other software and was disappointed compared to Hootsuite.com. Buffer and Later.com had limited functionality. MetaBusiness Suite and MailChimp offer a limited number of platforms you can post too. HubSpot and SproutSocial were extremely costly and geared toward …
Honestly, Hootsuite is the first product that we looked up and signed with. We haven't had a problem and the services and price has been fine so we haven't looked anywhere else. I don't plan on switching unless we have any problems. I probably should look into additional …
Compared to IFTTT it is simple to use and pruposed mainly for social media. You need to have some tech skills if you are going to use IFTTT versus you can be a non geek to use Hoostuite free. If you are a tech novice you can use Hootsuite's tutorials and guides to get you up …
The usability of Asana is broad since it's available in a variety of platforms that are widely used nowadays. I think that it would be great for people who are constantly on the move and switching devices, since it has allowed me to work from my phone, too. I also think that Asana has proven itself to handle a large quantity of work
Hootsuite is a great place to bring all your resources into one system. Instead of using all of the native platforms, you can do most of it here. You can also track analytics without leaving the platform. We are also excited to use the social listening feature.
Through it, we were able to communicate and cooperate with the rest of the team to complete the work in the required manner and at the appropriate time.
Scheduling of content. The ease of use for Hootsuite's planner abilities is top of the industry. It is simple and effective in posting content to different channels and accounts.
Analytics are superior on Hootsuite. Their custom reports allow you to view very specific KPI's that you can adjust for each channel or account. The reports are also exportable to be used for others in the company.
Inbox management. The inbox manager is superior to any in the industry. Hootsuite allows you to tag certain phrases or keywords to better filter messages based on importance or topic.
Because of the way algorithms works, we would have loved to be able to automate making a post with no link and posting the first comment with a link (hello LinkedIn)
We would have loved an easy way to post from a main account and repost the post for other accounts we administrate, for instance a corporate post reposted by individuals for LinkedIn, or retweets from one main account by child accounts
At this time we are satisfied that Hootsuite offers the most of what we are looking for at the most reasonable price point. As the social media landscape and monitoring/scheduling software changes, so do our needs. We re-evaluate our tools semi-annually or as new tools emerge onto the market. If we find at any point that we aren't gaining an advantage, then we are open to switching products.
It is very user-friendly. Takes a new employee an hour to start figuring out how the system works. That's an important factor. You don't want to encounter the issue where employees need a week to understand how the system works. For example, JIRA, I tried using it for a week and I still don't understand the complicated layout. Asana has a simple interface. Once you see it, you get it type of program.
I love Hootsuite. It's a real time-saver and allows me to plan my social media strategy effectively. I'm able to pull analytics and pivot if needed quickly. They listen to feedback and continually implement new features, which I appreciate. One of my favorite new features is the ability to optimize the length of posts. I would give a 10 rating if there were support for LinkedIn groups.
Any outages are communicated in advance and have not been a problem. We let our clients know based on communications from HootSuite. Since we operate 24/7 with multiple shifts, planned outages can interfere with our operations, but we can always work around it.
Hootsuite makes passing on articles from the web very easy- when it works! I have had a number of gliches with Chrome where it does not open properly and the solution (after some toing and froing with support) was to uninstall and reinstall. The support staff are always very helpful (which is great!) but the gliches..... well, they suck when you are already busy!
I haven't had to use their support so I can't rate it. The fact that I haven't needed them reflects the ease of use of the product. I would recommend that any new users schedule a complete demo of the product to ensure that they are using it to it's fullest (there's a lot of useful features).
I can manage all of my accounts on one site! It's absolutely amazing! The dashboard is helpful to see how you are doing as well. Still getting to understand the analytics and may need to reach out for help on this
The online training is decent; however, it takes a lot more time to search for answers to my questions. Having a training session with a live person was much more effective as they were able to quickly address the business needs I have.
• Combination of vendor and internal. The vendor bumped up our account to the Enterprise version (quite simple and easy) and then set up our organization and team structure. We then had to log in and set up team members and assign members to social media accounts. This was pretty easy to do as they have a great user interface. We simply had to drag and drop people into the correct team giving them access to specific social media accounts.
Asana is a top-tier project management software that helps us organize and track projects from start to finish. It allows us to apply tasks/to-dos to multiple projects without duplication, divide complex projects into smaller tasks, and track project progress. It also helps us organize work on Kanban boards or linear lists. It stands out from the crowd in a big way compared to the competition.
We chose Hootsuite over Buffer, Sprout Social, and Later for its comprehensive dashboard, robust analytics, and support for multiple team members and social networks. While Buffer and Later are great for simplicity and visuals, and Sprout excels in CRM, Hootsuite offers a perfect balance of scalability, collaboration, and content planning, making it ideal for our growing needs.
I have been able to evaluate which posts, in general, do well and figure out what types of posts to make (content)
It's been harder however to compare on social medial platform compared to another because it's hard to duplicate a post with a new owly (I think you used to be able to) but more so, you also can't assign it a custom owly link so I can see at a glance which owly link was associated with what platform.
