Likelihood to Recommend Tailwind is perfect for a small marketing shop where you simply need to be able to queue up Instagram posts. It works for Pinterest as well, but that's not a platform we use very often. It is very helpful to be able to plan out and visualize an entire IG series of posts in advance, and very few other scheduling platforms work with Instagram's API these days. I haven't delved deeply into the analytics tools, but I believe they would be very useful as well for a larger organization.
Read full review I found [Viraltag] offers great value for money. Especially, it allows you to just manage one account for all media social media platforms namely Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, Facebook Pages, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Tailwind (another great social media posting tool), on the other hand, only allows 1 account for 1 social media platform. This implies that we have to pay more! However, [Viraltag] has been responsive to users' requests, and it is constantly improving its features over time.
Read full review Pros The extension for Chrome and Safari has been EXTREMELY helpful. Through research and continuing education, we frequently see information we'd like to share with our audience and the extension has made this so easy. The SmartLoop feature is great for times when we get busy and may not have the time to add new things to our queue. I know even if I had zero time to devote to social media that day, I was still active and getting information to our candidates. Interface is extremely user friendly. A lot of time these programs that are supposed to help us and bring ease to our workload are so complicated and intense that they cause more stress than they relieve. This is not true with Tailwind. Tailwind is easy to use and truly does take a load of stress off us as an organization.

I do not want the link to be the first thing people read. The Tailwind Create is fun and helpful but still hard to use. Read full review While the more costly arrangement offers Google examination, this is just insufficient for a business to see genuine commitment with our posts. Visual investigations with charts, which are standard on numerous different arrangements, are just accessible in the top estimated plan at VT. Read full review Usability I have found Tailwind to be very helpful in generating our overall social media goals consistently. We are thrilled with the way we are able to easily post and pin as well as look into the insights for more in-depth knowledge. It is an easy-to-use addition to our social media.

Read full review Support Rating I have received wonderful support from Tailwind. Recently when I was on their new Tailwind Create and was looking at their site photos, I had a question and I received an answer in less than 24 hours. They have also been receptive to comments and ideas to make the product better and they used some of the ideas as well giving us a discount for the help.

Read full review Alternatives Considered At this time our marketing team does have and uses both
Hootsuite and Tailwinds, but for Pinterest and blog management/analytics, Tailwind is superior. We chose tailwinds based on the excellent reviews and also the need we had to manage our creative outlets better.
Read full review We don't use
Hootsuite for Pinterest and we don't use Viraltag (much) for Twitter, Instagram or Facebook feeds.
Read full review Return on Investment Definitely an ROI - We have increased our clicks on our website due to traffic from Pinterest, primarily from our Smart Loop. We have increased Pinterest following due to our intensive use of Smart Loop, which has led to #1 (increased website traffic). Organization and time management has been a massive advantage of utilizing Tailwind. Because I can set Smart Loop and not worry about it, I can dedicate my time to other areas of the business.
