    CoSchedule is great for businesses or agencies who need an overview of all their marketing efforts, and who want to establish collaboration between multiple departments. The calendar view is one of the best we've worked with and makes it easy to see exactly what's happening. There is some slight clunkiness when it comes to admin-related tasks, and a few things aren't easy to find, but there's great support.

    Hootsuite

    I think Hootsuite is a great starting platform for anyone who is looking for a tool to help schedule content on multiple social channels. I think it's a great tool to help with distribution and keeping on top of comments on those social channels. It's also a really great platform for anyone on a budget because their free version is really robust for what it provides. However, Hootsuite does not have the best reporting platform (when I used it anyway), and if you're managing multiple brands, it's tricky to add several accounts that you manage in one account.

    • The product has a really interactive media library which is very helpful even when we are out of images.
    • Customer support of this tool is also very understandable and interactive due to which the experience goes very smoothly.
    • It would not be wrong to say that the usability of this product is one of the greatest strengths of Hootsuite.
    • With this tool modification of scheduled posts is just so simple and easy to do which yields great results as well.

    Cons

    CoSchedule Marketing Suite

    • The import Google Doc to WordPress functionality never worked successfully or reliably for me. So I just manually copy and paste Google Docs to the WordPress editor instead.
    • The social sharing counter was not that helpful, because it only counted Facebook and Google+. Who uses Google+ anymore? Plus, now they don't even show the social counter in the monthly calendar view. so you can't see the numbers without doing some extra digging.
    • In the monthly calendar view, some titles get cut off if they don't wrap cleanly in the day's box. So I would make it look cleaner instead of having words broken up by a hyphen.

    • Influencer recruitment - we would like to be able to research potential influencers to join our program.
    • Poor reporting and analytics within each platform within the Pro version.
    • Somewhat expensive for the functionality provided.
    • Only 1 user account provided in the Pro version.

    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.

    The layout of horizontal columns for each stream or search is a very cumbersome way to display information. There isn't an easy way to sort, filter, or otherwise re-organize the streams to limit the current view to relevancy. This is one of the primary reasons why we plan to move to another platform.

    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 didn't have to use their official support, but I can say that they put out a lot of content online to help users. Their YouTube page has quite an array of tutorial videos explaining how things work and how to get the most out of their tools. If you're struggling, before picking up a phone or blasting off an email, try searching for your problem on YouTube or their forums.

    Overall support is very good. Whether it is about giving demonstration, giving a hands on for features, & functionality, Hootsuite customer care team is always up for it. I remember an instance where I was pretty new to use the hootsuite and so asked the hootsuite team for help. With in 1 hour, they assigned a person who gave me complete demonstration of application and helped me in overall functionality and usage of it

    Would rate it a 10. We received two hours of online training and it was of very high-quality. HootSuite also offers HootSuite University which is an extremely comprehensive training portal with self-paced quizzes, training webinars and videos, best-practice papers, product certification, and access to a network of external experts. This is a fantastic resource.

    One person of the organization must take the time to understand the product throughly. Next that person should work with the Hootsuite team to maximize the architecture of your platform and mitigate any problems that may crop up. Also, if a team members voices a concern or is having a problem roll your sleeves up and help them if not it can kill support for the product and end any chances of a renewal. Lastly, set aside enough time to allow for training and refresher training. Solve all problems ambiguity can not be permitted

    CoSchedule Marketing Suite

    CoSchedule provides collaborative planning of projects. The calendar view is very well designed. Meetings and tasks can be scheduled and tracked easily. Whatever is being done, no matter how big the task/project is, it gives a bird-eye view of everything. Additionally, it also integrated very well with WordPress. Their customer service team is also very helpful.

    Hootsuite is a budget-friendly option for us because it has a free version. I know that the other social media management software is more powerful, but they are also a lot more expensive. We've used the free version and been happy with the benefits it can provide. It's also pretty intuitive and user-friendly, so not a steep learning curve, just jump in and start working.

    Return on Investment

    CoSchedule Marketing Suite

    • Probably too early to tell for certain but it is definitely value priced right now. Fully developed content management platforms are running in $15-$20k per year range and more. You can get into a CoSchedule solution for $
    • Team has found it easy to sign on and review tasks so this is a big time saver. More could be done to enable Guests easier access to content they need to review
    • It's way faster that other scheduling apps we have tried. The fact that it runs on a cloud based app or inside your Wordpress app is a real plus. Auto save feature also means you don't have to remember to save your content.

    • This product has a direct correlation with our ability to post blogs so without this tool, we would have not been able to post much.
    • It has made so many tasks so quick and prompt that it has altogether saved a significant amount of our time.
    • Their customer support is pretty consistent and that is what I really like about them.
