Chose Zoho Social
I like Zoho Social, because it is affordable, beginner friendly and gives everything I need in one platform. If you have zero experience with CRM platforms, you can hop right on in and start using it with no issues or any prior knowledge. I highly recommend for anyone who wants …
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Social is easier than Metricool and Buffer. Plus they a more generous free plan with more features available and longer trials of advanced features for when you're starting out. Plus they offer incentives to try out the advanced plans for free. I was able to grow my …
Chose Zoho Social
I used Agorapulse and liked that platform but the value at Zoho Social is much greater! It was half the cost and provided all the same features that I use to manage my company.
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho has the exact same feature but it can be better with AI integration and stock image collection.
Chose Zoho Social
I think it's on par.

It could be that Zoho Social is not that famous or glamorous, but combined with other Zoho products such as Zoho CRM, this is a game changer.
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Social's interface was by far the most user-friendly among all the competitors.
Chose Zoho Social
I've always used the best tools in the industry and would highly recommend them nonetheless. However, Zoho has successfully created the one-stop-shop that delivers on the major tools needed to successfully run multiple brands digitally, AND create easier flows for making sales …
Chose Zoho Social
I have used multiple social media management software packages and Zoho Social by far has been the easiest to use.
Chose Zoho Social
better free version, good user interface
Chose Zoho Social
I find Buffer's interface more difficult to use and the reports do not have as many features as Zoho Social and are not customizable. I also don't find their engagement tab useful.
Chose Zoho Social
It gives more options to autopublish and schedule posts in several social media channels. It gives a free trial and you can extend it for more days and even months, that is something that I have not found in other free versions. Also the prices of the plans are cheaper than …
Chose Zoho Social
Hability to include photos in bulk uploads using links
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Social is more practical. It has the features we need. We just want to share content on our social media accounts and view the post-share stats. The integration process is easy, the sharing process is easy, and these are the key features we need at the moment. Also, we can …
Chose Zoho Social
First- Zoho Social is cheaper by a lot! Second- as far as I can tell, for my needs, Zoho Social gets the job done.
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Social is much better than any of the other social media management platforms I've ever used - it has more capabilities and better price points!
Chose Zoho Social
We have not used any other social media management tool before so it's difficult for us to compare it to anything.
Chose Zoho Social
Just was better for my use case than the competition
Chose Zoho Social
Zoho Books is great, and I think even the free version is more than you need if you are a new business. Full P+L track your expenses send professional invoices set up recurring invoices. Set up your home page to show exactly what you want it to. Will keep track of your taxes …

Zoho
Zoho Social is well suited for content creators, social media marketers, business owners and anyone who is customer facing in the business. It's great to stay on top of how each platform is doing analytics wise, and have an in depth view of each platform's engagement. It's also well suited for beginners or people who have some experience in understanding the analytics part of social media marketing.

Zoho

  • Warning about platform specific issues, also giving choice not to include problematic platforms
  • Showing statistics of our shares as a table so that we can understand about the impact of our specific posts.

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
A bit of repetition from previous screens but ultimately I wrote down what success looked like for me if I was to choose a social media tool, and how that would positively impact my business. From assessing all the tools out there, I also had a matrix of what tool offered what functionality. Once I had both reports prepared, I had a top 3 which matched the needs I had from a tool, and, for me, Zoho Social stood out head and shoulders above the competition

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%.
