Really great for customers that have experience with chatbots and want a powerful platform that is continuing to evolve. It has been one of the most accurate platforms for generative AI responses and has great tools for administering the platform in a scalable manner. The tool has greatest utility for companies with existing knowledge bases that can be leveraged and with a team that can dedicate resources to continually evolving the implementation to take full advantage of the tool.

If you wish to reduce stress of managing multiple social media handles from a single place, you can use Hearsay Social. Hearsay Social helps you analyze, automate, schedule posts and even give ideas for posts. Rather than multitasking, one would obliviously choose a single place to track your posts. It also fares greatly as compared to its competitors. It has a great interface. Very easy and simple to use.

Facebook Business Manager is also good however it has some limitations like it's very difficult to remove an ad account, we cannot schedule shared posts and the user interface is a bit complicated and not user-friendly. I like the user interface of Hearsay Social. I find it very simple and easy to use. Also, it has all the features that you might require in Social Media Management tool.
