It is great for managing multiple poster's social media accounts. I currently have four clients whose social media campaigns I manage. Heropost allows me to set up groups for each client so that I can schedule posts (of all different types of media) for their specific social media mixes. This is a terrific feature and makes my job a LOT easier.
Zoho Social excels at multi-channel social media management with intuitive scheduling and analytics. The platform integrates seamlessly with CRM, enabling personalized customer engagement. Best suited for small-to-medium businesses managing multiple social accounts. However, advanced AI-driven insights and competitor analysis features could be enhanced. The reporting dashboard is comprehensive but could use more customization options for enterprise teams.
I wanted to use the ability to have Zoho queue the posts, but I wanted to choose the start time of the first post for a few days in the future and I did not find an easy way to set that.
I wish there were a box with a cheat sheet of the sizes that each social media platform allows for it's video and pictures in the dialogue box for posting so I can be sure to choose appropriate content.
I do think it's a bit expensive, especially for my needs, but I like the ease of use. I will continue to do what I can to get this service discounted until I can no longer afford it.
Zoho Social is the BEST! I have found the perfect solution to social media marketing! It is extremely affordable and I highly recommend it! Create a post once and post it to 5 or more social media platforms! LOVE IT!! :)
Heropost is ALMOST perfect! Content creation, scheduling, posting and analytics are all right there! The ONLY drawback that I have found is that two of our main social media networks are not currently able to connect to Heropost, due to some API changes. I REALLY hope that these can get worked out. If they do, this rating goes to 10!
The reason behind assigning this rating stems from the software's remarkable ability to seamlessly integrate intricate functionalities with an incredibly user-friendly interface. It strikes an exceptional balance between sophisticated features and ease of use, making it a standout solution in its category. The software's attention to user experience, coupled with its comprehensive project tracking capabilities, has undoubtedly left a positive impression. This rating reflects my appreciation for how effortlessly it empowers teams to manage projects, collaborate effectively, and achieve their goals with utmost efficiency
I have not needed support for Zoho Social. This comment requirement is confusing to me as I must find text to fill the requirement of a minimum of 50 words. There should be a non-applicable button that allows either user to skip a question or then require a shorter explanation like in my first sentence. Geez, now I have to give a rating while never using the feature.
These other apps like Hootsuite and Metricool are way to over priced and are glitchy to say the least. HeroPost seems to me to be the most solid and reliable work horse in the game. I use it daily and my team use it daily and it never lags or breaks. I would have to say that the heropost user interface is just fantastic
Zoho Social is a great social media management tool that allows businesses, and individuals, to manage multiple social media accounts, schedule posts, track analytics, and engage with followers. It competes well with other social media management tools such as Hootsuite, Buffer, Sprout Social, Agora Pulse, and Hubspot. Zoho Social stands out for its integration capabilities with other Zoho applications and affordability for small to medium-sized businesses. Each tool has its own strengths and weaknesses, and businesses should evaluate them based on their specific needs and goals. The biggest fallacy for Zoho is its restriction on scheduling tools on the free plan who have social and personal needs. I believe this can be circumvented by Zoho periodically making an advertisement to one's feed.
