Chose Zoho Social
Before opting for Zoho Social for NextLevel Marketing, we utilized Buffer to manage our digital outreach. While Buffer is a solid tool for basic scheduling, we found it lacked the deep strategic alignment. We chose Zoho Social because it offers a more comprehensive ecosystem …
Chose Zoho Social
That tool is very expensive and each channel has to be paid with a huge amount of money. As a little company it is absolutely not affordable to get that type of social media manager. there are noe pricing plans for small businesses so we had to get rid of that expensive tools.
Chose Zoho Social
I feel that the biggest advantages are the ability to post across platforms and the ease and speed of bulk processing.Frankly, SocialDog has been getting worse over time, and with Buffer, the UI often froze when there were too many bulk processes, which actually made things …
Chose Zoho Social
Easy to use interface and cost efficient along with an ecosystem of products like Zoho Sales IQ, Cliq & Campaigns.
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho beat Hootsuite on price, coming down from the hundreds a month of Hootsuite into something affordable. Being very affordable when paid for for the year. It beat Buffer by being cleaner, and more usable than Buffer in the paid offerings. Generally, the interface and …
Chose Zoho Social
It is very hard to fully compare all four. I used trial versions for 3 and a paid one for the last one. What I do acknowledge is the fact that Zoho Social is integrated with an even bigger platform of tools in a away that social media management can be linked back to the …
Chose Zoho Social
Easier to use and manage, and cheaper.
Chose Zoho Social
Better free trials with Zoho. better analytics and realtime notifications from each platform. more detailed reports. overviews of all platforms at once

We used TweetDeck in the past. Zoho Social is a more complete product with more social media platform options.
Chose Zoho Social
I have not used any other programs. I came to Zoho first go and its great
Chose Zoho Social
It's better than the alternatives
Chose Zoho Social
It is more intuitive, cleaner interface, not so busy.
Chose Zoho Social
Evaluated Hootsuite as the primary alternative. While Hootsuite offers more advanced AI features, its pricing is significantly higher. Zoho Social offers better value for small-to-medium teams, with a simpler interface, faster onboarding, and seamless integration with the Zoho …
While there are more than 50 platforms out there that I have indeed used, Zoho has been the best hands down. ACI Payments is selected here because out of 50, they could be 40-50. Zoho has been tremendous in assisting and being exactly what I need. I would take it over most …
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Social gives access to many more social channels than Buffer, which even with paid accounts becomes exorbitantly expensive if you want more than a few channels.
Chose Zoho Social
Stacks up well. Good alternative a better price point
Chose Zoho Social
Firstly being an Indian using an Indian tool is a proud feeling for me so Zoho stands out in that. Next it has clean UI Clean funtions simple use case multiple benefits no need to share the password with anyone. It has very simple-to-use functions for any non-tech person to …
Chose Zoho Social
Each tool had strengths, but Zoho Social stood out for its streamlined publishing workflow, cross-platform reliability, intuitive calendar, and overall stability. It’s the one I ultimately stuck with for daily multi-brand posting.
Chose Zoho Social
I've used buffer app for years. At first it was the only one. Then it was the only one for the small business owner. The Zoho Social came along and reimagined post creation and post scheduling and now, in my experience, it's just much better. In my opinion, Zoho Social is …
Chose Zoho Social
I've found Zoho Social provides a much wider range of options and some are to a much more detailed level.
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Social has much more featured in one place. Also have more advanced AI assistance per channel as well as option to schedule comments for each social post which helps a lot.

Zoho
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.

Cons
Zoho
  • 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.

Usability
Zoho
It logs you in directly to the screen you need to use, and our use reason of this software is to share posts on our social media accounts at one place. It also warns you about platform specific issues as you prepare your post. Its integration interfaces are great, easy to use, and have clear and helpful instructions.

Alternatives Considered
Zoho
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.

Return on Investment
Zoho
  • Zoho Social allows me to "see" my messaging planning weeks into the future. I can create themes for a week or month and easily see how it performs.
  • Having all my social accounts in one place saves me time.
  • It is too early for any ROI from Zoho but the amount of content I am putting out has increased by at least 400%.
