    CoSchedule
    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.

    I would be less inclined to recommend Visually to a colleague now than I would have in the past. In the past, highly skilled freelance programmers and designers were more able to get matched with potential clients. Now, things have to go through Visually and creators cannot post their independent work and get matched up independently.

    Pros
    CoSchedule
    • Best time to post is great at updating to when we get the most engagement by platform
    • Requeue tool to slate out additional posts for a given piece of content is a huge time saver
    • Aggregate analytics tool shows us a peek across our posts on a given platform that's actually easier to read than the platform itself

    • Staff picks were a great way of sifting through many pieces of content
    • It was easy to share things uploaded to visual.ly to other social media channels
    • There is an awesome amount of content on Visually

    Cons
    CoSchedule
    • The platform seems sluggish as of late, likely as a result of the robust amount of data we are entering and the number of filters we're creating.
    • Social media scheduling exists, but we do run into publishing errors more often then we'd like.
    • Task templates when updated are not retroactive, so when you create projects for an entire year and then change a template, you need to go back and change them manually.

    • There is a bias towards infographics (as opposed to 'real' data visualization)
    • It is not very clear the path between how people who need content get matched up or find creators
    • Interface was redone too often

    Usability
    CoSchedule
    The interface is very intuitive, from setting up social profiles, to posting, to tags, to optimizing for best day/time to post. It's super easy to scan the aggregate analytics. The calendar is very easy to grok at a glance, and the more advanced functionality is intuitive to set up.

    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.

    CoSchedule
    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.

    I would recommend other design studios that specialize in data visualization and infographics before visually for a few reasons: - small design studios have an emphasis on the creators (who is part of the studio), whereas Visually is more of a black box because you don't know who is creating your project - Portfolio is okay, but not great, there are many other studios with better looking portfolios One way that Visually is better is that it has an impressive client list and quicker turnaround and maybe more streamlined feedback loops.

    Return on Investment
    CoSchedule
    • It has saved me about 1 hour per day to keep things organized from Asana to WordPress.
    • By not having a functioning Google Doc import feature, it costs me about 30 minutes for each blog post to copy paste all the content, images, etc.
    • By bundling too many features into their plans, many of which we don't use (e.g. social media scheduling), we lose a little ROI because we are not using the full feature set. We use and prefer Buffer for social media, so when CoSchedule raised their price $40+ per month on features we would not be using, that hurt.

    • Was helpful in attracting clients when I started doing data visualization work
    • Cost was minimal - it was free to upload and took little time
    • I have been unable to attract clients lately from visually, so ROI has gone to 0
