Hootsuite Enterprise
Hootsuite is great when there is a team or group that all needs access to the social platforms but would like to have their own various dashboards. It's also useful when used for measuring the impact of social posts that are outgoing. Hootsuite would seem to not be as useful when there is a single person doing all of the posting.

Socialbakers Suite
SocialBakers is great for scheduling content since it allows you to upload content, add copy, schedule it for a time it will get the most engagement and eyes, and pass it along the approval pipeline for your organization. Additionally, the reporting and analytics tool provides a comprehensive overview of campaigns. I do not recommend SocialBakers for community management. The process is too complicated and takes far longer than other tools available

Cons
- Some integrations to social media channels to be improved. For example, publishing photos to Facebook or G+ is problematic. This is important because posting pictures to Facebook has been shown to be the highest performing engagement metric. The issue is that pictures are posted to a single generic photo album and cannot be posted to photo albums specific to our game titles. Photos are posted in a single place and the timeline suffers as a result. In Google + pictures cannot be posted at all through HootSuite. It just creates a link
- No sharing of posts on FB & G+. Posts to FB from HootSuite cannot be shared.
- Some analytics modules need improvement, such as those for Twitter and G+ Follower counts, and Click Summaries. These are issues HS are currently working on.

There's always room for improvement (and Hootsuite is always improving), but overall the product is very easy to use. And whenever we get stuck, they provide pre-recorded tutorials, help articles and/or hands-on training.

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.

Performance is very good considering how much data is being passed back and forth from various social networks (who are likely the bottleneck).

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.

The online training was fine but, in the end, the best way to learn any product is by actually using it.

Alternatives Considered
We switched to HootSuite Enterprise due to the outstanding customer service record and their overall approach to our business needs. They provided us with real-time solutions for problems that had plagued us for months while we were at a competitor.

Return on Investment
- Productivity. Scheduling is great. I particularly like the Hootlet button installed in browser. When searching on the Internet, and I want to promote brand / industry content, I click on the button and HootSuite automatically shortens the URL, pulls in the title, etc. This simple thing is a huge time saver. I don’t have to do any cutting and pasting.
- Also the auto-scheduler is a very cool feature. It’s a set and forget thing which allows HootSuite to decide on the best time to push out a tweet. Looking at re-tweets that catch fire, I can say that this works extremely well. Whatever algorithm they have is very effective. Anything auto-scheduled does better than content that is not auto-scheduled. This is kind of amazing. It also allows you to tweak the time (for example, we may not want posts to go out to close to each other).
