Hootsuite vs. Kontentino

Hootsuite is best suited for organizations with less team members & loads of work to be done. The scheduling comes handy with such tools as it takes a lot of bandwidth of a person when posts have to be posted manually. It is less appropriate if a team member has bandwidth for daily posting.

Kontentino can play a crucial role in your organization, if:

1. You were struggling with internal collaboration. With Kontentino, you can transfer all those processes to the platform.
2. You didn't know how to onboard people well. With checklists, it's easier than ever before.
3. You need a great social media planner. Here it comes.
4. Your clients have no time to accept your posts. With Kontentino, they can do it with just one click and it works wonders for us.

• Scheduling of content. The ease of use for Hootsuite's planner abilities is top of the industry. It is simple and effective in posting content to different channels and accounts.
• Analytics are superior on Hootsuite. Their custom reports allow you to view very specific KPI's that you can adjust for each channel or account. The reports are also exportable to be used for others in the company.
• Inbox management. The inbox manager is superior to any in the industry. Hootsuite allows you to tag certain phrases or keywords to better filter messages based on importance or topic.

• Easy to use
• Everything in one place
• Fantastic customer service
• Helpful innovations

• One thing that's frustrating is when trying to change the date/time and having to go into each individual post to update it is a lot. With other calendar tools, you are able to drag and drop the post in the time you want it OR there is a pop up that allows you to change the date/time without having to go into editing the actual post.
• It would be nice to have different calendar tabs for different brands. Instead of seeing all the brands scheduled posts on one calendar.
• There needs to be a content library to house all the creative files so it's easier to choose and upload.

• There is nothing I could mention here! Kontentino saved our life.

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.

Hootsuite is a powerful and versatile social media management platform that streamlines scheduling, engagement, and analytics. However, there is room for improvement in user interface intuitiveness, pricing accessibility, and advanced analytics customization. Enhancing these aspects could further elevate its value and overall user experience.

I just like Kontentino. It is intuitive, easy to use, and easy to manage.

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 can manage all of my accounts on one site! It's absolutely amazing!
The dashboard is helpful to see how you are doing as well. Still
getting to understand the analytics and may need to reach out for help

Their Customer Support is excellent and something they could train other companies in. Quick, helpful, fun... All thumbs up!

Very easy to teach and learn

The online training is decent; however, it takes a lot more time to search for answers to my questions. Having a training session with a live person was much more effective as they were able to quickly address the business needs I have.

• Combination of vendor and internal. The vendor bumped up our account to the Enterprise version (quite simple and easy) and then set up our organization and team structure. We then had to log in and set up team members and assign members to social media accounts. This was pretty easy to do as they have a great user interface. We simply had to drag and drop people into the correct team giving them access to specific social media accounts.

With Meta Business Manager, you are limited to posting on Facebook and Instagram. Whereas with Hootsuite, you do not have these limitations and can post beyond these two platforms. I do enjoy using Meta Business Manager. It has some of the same features as Hootsuite and there's no cost in using their social posting features. They also provide analytics as well. But since they are limited platform-wise on where you can post we kept Hootsuite.

Kontentino also offers a collaboration platform that you can use both for internal and external communication. We needed such a tool to improve the communication and onboarding process, and Kontentino works great. Kontentino manages all of the types of LinkedIn posts so that was also a huge YES for us. Also, our clients really liked it so we decided to use it for longer.

We are only using in marketing and have been able to scale.

• For our organization, all ROI was on time saved and efficiency: for creating posts, for scheduling and publishing, for interacting with users, and for analyzing performances. It all comes in one place and this makes a very huge difference in your workflows. We would say that Hootsuite went beyond our expectations on this front, for example with the dynamics UTMs and the media library. Saving time was the main reason why we wanted to purchase the platform and it did not disappoint at all.
• The ROI in time was also fast to get. The learning curse is very short and this is also an important element. Benefiting from the platform did not take long to be experienced.

Incentivized

• Helped us create more publications on social media channels and get higher engagement rates due to more publications.
• We are focusing on our business core instead of small processes.
• Given us a higher ROI.
