Buffer
It helps me save hours by devoting only half an hour in a month's worth of posting, in addition to that it is quite simple to use. Buffer for scheduling social posts well in advance, but I have begun using it instead of posting natively on the social apps themselves because it makes it super easy to post the same messages to more than one platform.

I wish they had provided analytics for Instagram and YouTube, Then it would have been very great for its users and easy to track all platform accounts in one tool. Other than that I haven't found any other problems with this tool. It's great and has amazing features for Twitter. Would recommend [to] others too.

Cons
Buffer
  • Expensive Analytics: The upgrade you need to access your analytics is quite expensive, and I have come across other tools that provide the same or even more for a lesser priced plan.
  • No Media Library: The one feature I have found on another social media planning tool that I wish Buffer had is a media library. This allows you to upload photos you aren't using right away to have them readily available when you do decide to use them. This is not a feature in Buffer.

I am giving buffer this rating because of a couple issues that it has compared to other platforms. It does not always post to instagram and you will need to go in an manually post. Also, one of the biggest qualms that we have with buffer is the price it costs to have robust analytics

Usability
Buffer
We use Buffer for certain website content that should be shared on social networks, having this tool helps us to do it faster and easier since we can send the publications from the internet browser and the stack of scheduled messages. It is really fast and easy for all team members who share access to the account, so at the same time that we analyze the information that we can share, the message stack is prepared

I would give 10 ratings as before knowing about FollowerAudit. I used to use different tools for different purposes, but with this tool my work has become so much easier and less hectic! It is easy to use and understand and service and pricing is also very great comparison to others.

Due to the huge advancements in AI now, while I still love SocialPilot and have no intention of leaving, I'm excited and hopeful that SocialPilot is working on more AI integrations to build up this platform as a better, well-rounded tool for creators. For example, Beacons is inspirational regarding the all-in-one tools (not the same, nor a competitor, but worth checking out).

Performance
Buffer
Buffer performs well on both desktop and mobile platforms. The one area as I have stated before is that it does not always want to automatically push to Instagram and the user will have to go do it manually. Buffer works very well pushing to other platforms. The instagram issue is the only reason buffer does not get a 10 on this section

Good customer support. Responds on time whenever having an issue and solves it. Communication is also decent and not at all inappropriate. Also haven't faced much problems so didn't need to contact them much.

Implementation Rating
Buffer
We were very satisfied with the implementation of Buffer. We had no issues switching from the platform that we were using over to buffer. Our staff did not even miss a beat when it came to posting content. It was an easy transition and I feel that is something that buffer has really done well. They have an "out of the box" usability platform

Alternatives Considered

I also used Combin which is easy and free to use. However, Combin only posts when the computer is active and connected to the internet. So, posting while you are not actively using your computer at that moment is not possible, therefore Buffer is much more efficient as you can even post while being on vacation without working.
