Read full review Oktopost is great if you have several Social Media profiles you want to manage and want to schedule and post all your things in a simple interface. They have a great calendar view that shows everything that is coming up and you can easily move or change postings with a few clicks. It is also good for managing a single account. It has all the features I need for our single account markets, like campaigns, tracking, scheduling, etc. I think if you are trying to manage a very large number of social media profiles it might get a bit difficult. There are tools more suited for that than Oktopost that may be easier, but Oktopost would still work.
Read full review Pros Neontools stands out for displaying all our relationships and social accounts on a single page. Neontools is great to use for Instagram bios and other social media profiles. We can use Neontools to change our URLs and use custom domains instead of domain names. Read full review Auto-poster feature that allows scheduling of posts to be made in relatively short time. Calendar view has a great UI with easy to use drag and drop and editing features. Message assets can be saved per campaign without having to re-draft them for repeated promotions. Good reporting via excel export and dashboard overview Great customer service and support! Including response rate and implementation of requested features Read full review Cons It would be wonderful if Neontools showed a more modern user interface to the eye; the current one still seems a bit opaque. Read full review Sometimes there were bugs in the user experience, but they seemed to be quickly addressed. They didn't seem to have experience dealing with large-scale company use when integrating with Eloqua information. We had a lot of issues with false data or form submits showing up. Read full review Likelihood to Renew I give Oktopost a 9, as a 10 means NO improvement is needed, but all platforms must iterate and improve. Hands down Oktopost is the B2B marketing leader in the social and content marketing world. They are also very quick to work on things and make the experience better for users. I would say I was a very early adopter of Oktopost and have seen them grow into a very useful tool and also a great company! I am VERY excited to see what they will do next to make our B2B marketing jobs more efficient and results producing! Thanks for helping our business close 10 accounts from LinkedIn in the last year! And that is up from ZERO the year before NOT using Oktopost.
Read full review Support Rating When I have sent in questions to support, I have received answers pretty quickly and they were helpful. However, I would like to see more information on the support page rather than having to contact them directly.
Read full review Online Training There is a lack of online training videos or documentation. They have a long list of FAQ's but I would prefer a quick YouTube video instead.

Read full review The integration with SalesForce and Marketo was the number one reason we went with Oktopost. It wasn't until after I got inside and got my hands dirty that I saw how great Oktopost was. The analytics reporting is sensational. It allowed me to easily pull reports to organize for my marketing department.
