https://media.trustradius.com/product-logos/rV/7p/W7JTG122JCTK.PNGAgorapulse = Our Agencies Saving GraceWe use AgoraPulse (AP) as a central tool at our digital marketing agency. It is the main platform that we work on daily. It assists us in keeping clients social profiles organized, from calendaring to community management. The main reason we switched to AP was for the community management aspect. They have an inbox that pulls all messages and comments right into AP so I don't have to log into 15 different social accounts individually on my computer. They also have a "listening" feature that tracks when people tag or mention that profile, and it also tracks hashtags that you tell it to. This has been very useful in keeping an eye on clients reputation. The calendaring aspect is vital to what we do, since we have to have them approved by the individual clients, and AP allows us to do this.,Customer Service - they have killer customer service. They are fast and super helpful, even when it is an issue with the social platform and not AP. Calendaring tool - ability to approve, send for approval, etc. Listening tool - ability to track mentions, tags, hashtags, etc. Reporting - they have really excellent reports that I pull on a weekly basis for clients. Tracks comments on ads you are running as well. Did I mention customer service?,Publish multiple photos to Instagram in one post - this is in development, but we don't have it yet. There are some irritating things that are not because of AP but because the social platforms will not allow them (e.g., we cannot respond to IG comments through the platform, which you can do for FB comments, because IG will not allow 3rd parties to do this anymore.) Sometimes it is hard to connect social platforms. No "draft" feature on the calendaring tool (you can create a post and assign it to yourself...this is the workaround, but a draft feature would be more user-friendly).,10,2,Because of the time it saves us, this has had an overall positive impact on our agencies ROI. Because we are able to keep on top of our clients social, it has also improved their ROI. Definitely worth the monthly investment.,HeyOrca,Trello, Slack, Dropbox Business,No,10,Yes,Literally every time I have asked for help. This morning, in fact, I was getting a 505 Error, and contacted them via FB for support. They were just as fast and helpful on FB as they are within the platform. He ran a test and the website was up and running immediately. Always have killer support for this platform!Pretty Good, Worth a Try!We use the platform for publishing social media posts over dozens of different accounts. Managing a large number of accounts without a publishing platform is incredibly time consuming.,Reporting tools are helpfully and generally accurate. Ease of use is incredibly high, easy to jump right into. Publishing Calendar is clear and visually helpful.,Using the internal review process doesn't always work correctly. Bugs and API issues seem fairly regular. Doesn't have options for a lot of other media platforms besides the big ones, Pinterest would be nice.,8,5,Big time saver. Helps with the planning process for Integrated communications efforts. Admittedly gets expensive at the higher levels.,Excellent Platform for Small BusinessesWe currently use Agorapulse to manage all of our social media campaigns internally. It is only used by 2 users within our company, however, we have a smaller marketing division. We do not outsource this type of work and aimed to address the time-consuming element of having 5-10 social media feeds and posting to each one individually. We also wanted to monitor our competitors feeds, and our ROI. This platform was the clear choice when it came to productivity and reporting.,Sending posts for approval to a manager/brand ambassador for review. Assigning levels of access by the user. Monitoring competitor brands social feeds. Instant reporting.,Reporting is a major deterrent. Although its instant, you cannot currently customize the report. It only exports in one format, and you can only pull a full overview of one social platform at a time - rather than all in one. The notifications are excessive, and despite turning them off in the platform - sometimes it does it anyway with no explanation. The inbox - You can respond to all users from all platforms, however, the inbox is separated, and rather than being a one-stop-shop, you have to click from tab to tab to answer each one. That is laborious at times, I'd much rather it like an email inbox as we are all used to and respond one by one. The app is absolutely atrocious. Glitches out every time I use it, and I wouldn't recommend using this platform on anything but a desktop. But if you don't care about it being mobile it's fine.,7,3,Our ability to put a value to our time investment in social media, and track its growth. It has focused more awareness on our social media sales funnel. It has unburdened my time as the social media manager and allowed me to spend less than 2 hours a week managing the content. Which allows me to focus a lot more on my actual day job in operations management.,,Adobe Illustrator CC, Adobe Photoshop,,No,Price Product Features Product Usability Third-party Reviews,no training,It is as easy as creating a facebook account. Honestly, it couldn't be any simpler. Most of the ques are visual, so you know what to do by seeing an icon. It's a walk in the park.,10,No,I was having a difficult time getting the system to accept my method of payment when the customer support representative got on the chat line with me. She explained where I'd gone wrong in entering the address, as they didn't have a suite field, so the card was not recognized as valid. Fixed that up, and we were off to the races.,Cross-posting is a dream. Select the platform, customize your messages for twitter character counts, all in one simple post. Scheduling is incredibly simple and elegant. It's easy to use.,Reporting. Using the mobile app. Having all of the social feed inboxes separated by tabs.,Yes,6The best of its kind for agencies!As a digital marketing agency, we needed social media scheduling and reporting software that would save us time and improve the efficiency of our work. It is used by everyone in the organization as Agorapulse has a great review process for posts. Therefore, each post is sent to another employee to review to avoid any errors not seen.,Social Media Scheduling Community Management Reporting Social Listening,Brand look and feel could do with updating,10,4,We are able to significantly save time. The quality of content going out has improved. We are able to provide great reports to clients. Social Listening is an option at no extra cost.,,Buffer, Wunderlist, Google DriveAgoraPulse is a no-brainer.AgoraPulse is currently used as the primary social media scheduling and monitoring software for all of our marketing needs. It allows our department to have a centralized place to monitor the major social media networks we utilize, as well as coordinate and proof our work amongst the department to ensure accuracy and quality outbound messaging.,The ability to bulk schedule by RSS feed for Facebook and Twitter. The ability to bulk schedule by multiple image import on Instagram. Quickly mark all of the incoming messages as completed.,The ability to bulk import into multiple social media profiles. Currently, you have to bulk import into a specific profile (i.e. Twitter) and then duplicate each individual message for another social media profile. We use quite a bit of news content to fill our social queue and this becomes quite cumbersome. There are some bugs with the new "default" scheduling category. On some instances where you duplicate from one profile to another, the default doesn't get applied and the message will not save. Could use more robust reporting features. We came over from Sprout Social which FAR blows away AgoraPulse reporting.,9,5,The ability to monitor our social media profiles is well worth the $ amount per month. It does not allow you to tie it to individual sales, but allowed us to shave off thousands annually by bringing social management in house through software.,Sprout Social and Hootsuite Enterprise,SlackFinally, a tool that ticks all the boxesAgorapulse is an amazing tool that has saved us many headaches. We know have much snappier in response times than the high profile competition in this space with a dedicated support team who answer all queries quickly and correctly. Management and stakeholders adore the in-depth and aesthetically pleasing reporting functions Agorapulse generates at the touch of a button. We receive constant updates with new features and tools, and I can see they take feedback from users and actually allocate resources into investigating the never-ending 'wants list' of the clients.,Site navigation and responsiveness. Logical pathways to execute tasks. Reliability of sharing content at the right time.,A number of things would be 'cool to use' however they are only applicable to me in my use case. Agorapulse was quick to respond to these feature requests and I look forward to seeing some/all in the near future. I would like better CRM in the response area (i.e. the ability to put customers into buckets to mass respond when there is news specifically for them).,10,4,This tool has provided the ability to keep costs low in the marketing space whilst being ultra-effective across numerous social landscapes.,Hootsuite and Later,Adobe Photoshop, Google Drive, Final Cut Pro XLove using Agorapulse!Agorapulse is used within my department only at my organization. It is a lifesaver for gathering social media engagements, bulk publishing content, searching for our brand mentions, searching new content that we need to engage with, and checking analytics on different social platforms. It saves time, energy, and delivers the information I need directly to me on the schedule I want/need.,First to have new updates like scheduled publishing to Instagram. Bulk publishing options. Listening capabilities on social platforms. Customer service is amazing!,More analytics on Instagram content. More filters on listening. Ability to view live YouTube comments on the app. You cannot set a thumbnail for uploading Instagram videos.,10,,Spend less time on minute tasks. We are truly engaged with our customers.,Sprout Social, Later and Social Report,Adobe Photoshop, SEMRush, Adobe Premiere ProManage all of your social channels for a reasonable priceAgorapulse is currently used solely by our Marketing department. One of our current business goals is to grow our social media channels on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Twitter. We are a small team, and managing daily social engagement was getting difficult to manage across the various platforms. Especially on platforms like Instagram, it is difficult to stay on top of engagement, as only a limited amount of notifications are displayed and quickly disappear.,Agorapulse allows us to not miss a single comment on all of our channels, and to respond within the platform. Our engagement has greatly increased from using this tool. Agorapulse allows us to listen to certain hashtags on Instagram. This was an incredibly manual process for us before, and now it is almost effortless, and just requires a daily review for all of our hashtags that we are "listening" to. Agorapulse helps create efficiency by having all of our social channels available from a single platform. We have saved a lot of time by working directly within AP, and from not having to log into each channel individually. Agorapulse support is quite responsive. I am constantly bombarding them with questions, and they get back to me very quickly.,There are a few things that are slightly buggy on the interface -- for example, in our Instagram "listening" tab. If I check "review all," there seems to always be a single task left behind that requires an additional click to "review." It's not the end of the world, but still requires an additional click when it shouldn't. The ability to assign certain social posts to a team member is nice, but there doesn't seem to be a way to respond to it within the platform. For example, my coworker can assign an Instagram comment to me with a message that says something like, "Do you know anything about this issue? Just want to get more information before I respond to the comment" and I will receive an email saying a task has been assigned to me. But there doesn't seem to be a spot where I could reply to that message in Agorapulse. Generally what I end up doing is forwarded the message to my coworker and then discussing it in an email chain. Although I really appreciate the quick support messages I receive back from Agorapulse, after every single correspondence, I get a follow-up email asking me to rate my conversation with the support person. Considering how frequently I ask small questions to support, this becomes quite irritating. I generally end up not leaving feedback due to how frequently they ask me for it.,9,6,We have continued to grow our audience on all of our social media channels in a more efficient manner. We are able to ensure we do not miss a single opportunity for engaging with our audiences. We are able to harvest user generated content with greater ease thanks to the listening feature.,Iconosquare, Sprout Social, Meltwater Media Intelligence Platform and Hootsuite,Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator CC, Adobe InDesign, Adobe XD, SketchOn the 'pulse'.Agora Pulse provides our Marketing Department a terrific platform to schedule all our social media content. Its intuitive interface allows us to create and preview a post from scratch which we can then either send instantly or schedule later across multiple platforms all at once. With tools like the URL Tracker, we are able to implement our own campaign details and subsequently monitor a post's progress.,Easy to use interface. Create, Preview, Send and Schedule a post across multiple platforms all at once. Simple Calendar feature allows you to quickly monitor upcoming events/content.,Instagram functionality i.e. @mentions, multiple photo posting, etc. The initial screen when logged in is set to Inbox. Would prefer it to be the Publisher screen.,10,3,The time that has been saved using the features highlighted previously has been great. This allows us to pay more attention to other aspects of the business. We have been able to monitor our personal campaigns through analytics and see what has been working and what hasn't.,Hootsuite,Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Premiere ProAgorapulse, as Seen from an Everyday User's Point of ViewAgorapulse is used across the entire organization for social media marketing, management, and campaign building.,Agorapulse's customer service is amazing. Issues and questions are quickly addressed via the convenient online chat tool. Agorapulse is always on top of the latest platform updates and issues, notifying its users when Agorapulse has new feature offerings or when platforms are experiencing API issues. Agorapulse's range of platform compatibility is fantastic.,It would be nice if a post could be posted, that is meant to be published across multiple platforms, could be viewed and approved just once. Currently, if a post reading "we are announcing a new..." is going to be published on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (all with the same text and imagery), that post needs to be 'approved' in Agorapulse on each individual platform. Merge reports. Currently, to gain insight and data, all reports must be downloaded individually. When producing one report of all platforms, it would be amazing if the data was all funneled into one, cohesive report. More platforms. It would be nice to see Pinterest and other platforms added to Agorapulse.,10,15,Agorapulse, compared to other metric-producing companies/services, produces comprehensive reports that help display ROI. Agorapulse has positively impacted the speed at which we can publish and monitor social media posts. A downside to Agorapulse is that it does not offer all major social media platforms (i.e. Pinterest).,Databox, Buffer and Hootsuite,Slack, Airtable, CanvaAgorapulse is life changing!It's being used by the social media team.,It has an app so you can always see comments and DM's without the need of a computer. They have a chat so you resolve issues faster. The interface is very easy to use.,Wish you could have the interface in more languages.,9,2,With Agorapulse we can see and answer all the comments and messages. That didn't happen with the other social media program that we used.,The best bang for your buckAgorapulse is currently used by our corporate communications team which consists of four members. Two people, including me, are responsible for external communications and use the platform daily. This SMMT allows our 10 social platforms to be consistently monitored and it allows us to see how much content we have scheduled.,The publishing calendar is phenomenal. Allowing multiple admins/users without giving away the platform's passwords. The listening features are particularly helpful for customer service.,When bulk publishing, some characters, like apostrophes, aren't recognized and turn into odd symbols. Some reports for individual posts on Facebook and Instagram don't provide accurate numbers and feedback.,9,2,The company is able to see what works and what doesn't work on our social platforms. We're able to adjust and evaluate next steps due to the metrics Agorapulse provides.,Hootsuite and Sprinklr Social + Messaging Suite,DivvyHQ, TweetDeck, GaggleAMP AmplifyAgorapulse is a great social media management toolAgorapulse is a great social media marketing tool that allows the entire team surrounding me to contribute to our social media presence. The scheduling works like a charm. Also, the social media inbox allows us to be way more reactive towards inquiries, comments, and likes from users, which promotes, in general, the reactivity of our company and thus the interaction with customers and potential customers.,Social Inbox. Scheduling. Bulk upload.,Video editing for Instagram. Stories not supported at the moment.,8,6,Didn't use it long enough to give any reply on that.,Agorapulse ReviewOn a daily basis, our entire organization utilizes Agorapulse to keep our Social Media marketing humming along. It allows us to save hours a week scheduling, creating, and analyzing our Social Media brand impacts on the world around us. This tool allows us the freedom to focus on our overall goals while creating a stream for our creatives to schedule out our social impacts.,Scheduling is a strength for sure. The calendar aspect allows me to plan out days, weeks, or even months in advance. When I think of something I can schedule it out when it needs to be marketed, not wait and possibly forget. Reporting and Analytics are also very important to understand our greatest impact is. Males or females, night or day, lunch or dinner, it allows us to see it all. Listening is also a great aspect as it allows us to see who and when people are talking about our organization.,The time of post needs improvement. In my mind whatever you set as the default for that channel (Instagram etc) should be auto-populated. I shouldn't have to add the time to post EVERY time I post to any channel.,8,1,Time is money so the time saved while using the software allows us to focus our efforts where they are needed.,Buffer,BufferAgorapulse is an all-around winnerWe are a social media marketing agency that uses Agorapulse every day, 12 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is used by our community management team. We have 31 profiles and 12 users - soon to be 45 profiles with 20 users. It helps us streamline all incoming communications so they come through one platform and we aren't having to check each profile individually.,Separate inboxes for each profile. Easy communication between users/team members. Live chat function - Someone always on hand to help you if you have a problem. Automatic tagging. Saved replies. Profanity filter.,If a message is assigned to someone and you reply to it, it automatically un-assigns the message and puts it in the "all" inbox.,10,6,We've found it a lot cheaper than other products on the market and with a lot more features to boot.,Sprout Social, Social Report, eClincher and Sendible,Intercom, SlackGood but could be betterUsed to manage the content publishing and reputation management for our company and for our 60+ clients.,Inbox Content creation Reporting,Reports only for pages with 100 fans. Any contact/help takes forever since team is overseas. Limit to sizing for images.,7,4,Helps with time management.,Sprout Social, Social Report and HootsuiteMy Experience with Agora Pulse as a Previous Buffer UserWe use Agora Pulse in the Content department to manage social media for our clients. It helps to address the issue of having to log in to separate social platforms and post daily as well as automatic posting.,Customer support, even if they can't always help me, they respond quickly and follow up to make sure my issue is resolved. It's very user-friendly. I can put content into different queues so I can separate them my service area for a company and pick different times that I like them to post, but there's also the option to schedule posts for different days and times. There is a feature to assign posts to other users and give different users specific levels of access so I can have my interns hop in there and do work and then easily go back and proof it. I don't use this feature often, but I do like that I can reply back to comments from Agora Pulse. The bulk upload feature is pretty cool too.,I would like to be able to share queue categories between different profiles. I also think it would take the bulk upload feature to the next level if you could bulk upload photos and pair them to the bulk uploaded post copy. They need the options to pick custom video thumbnails. I wish there was a way to customize the queue schedule a little more. For instance, if I wanted to post from a queue every other week as opposed to every week, that would be great.,10,4,It has had a positive ROI because we have been able to completely change how we manage our social media accounts. The previous social media scheduling software we used didn't allow us to schedule queue categories in the manner that Agora Pulse does so it has allowed us to more efficiently manage our social accounts and cut down on the time we're spending on one client. There are a lot more features in comparison to simple software. There are some features that I haven't even used yet.,Buffer, Hootsuite and Facebook for BusinessGreat tool that helps improve engagement and social media moderationWe use it on daily basis mostly for social media moderation and monitor the conversation online. It’s great to collaborate with other team member especially for assigning some message to our customer services,Customer service is quick and efficient. The chat box is very useful The social inbox is great and give an Easter view of our multiple social profiles Easy connecting to social platforms,They are always improving the reporting section but I think they can dig deeper in the reporting,10,4,Time saving Productivity and efficiency Communication,Hootsuite and Iconosquare,IconosquareOne Tool To Rule Them AllAgoraPulse is being used for all our company social media accounts and all our clients' accounts. We use it for community management, replying to messages, planning content, and reporting. It allows our community managers to moderate comments and flag ones they are not comfortable with for follow up by a manager. We also love the rubust and RELIABLE reporting. That is something we have not found in other services. Another feature we love is that you can post traditionally or set up Evergreen content categories.,The reporting covers all the metrics you need and allows you to modify the reports as you wish by downloading them as a PowerPoint file. One of the main things we love about AgoraPulse is that they seem to have high standards for their quality control and customer service. They don't roll out new features unless they work 100% and if there is an issue they are on top of it right away and with ample communication. No more wondering if you've seen every comment or message. AgoraPulse's system allows you to ensure you have responded to every item no matter what the client has done on their end.,I would like to see a grid preview for Instagram that allows you to drag and drop the order of the posts. I would like to see the ability to provide a client a link to their planned/scheduled content for viewing and/or approval without the need to make them a member of the team. I would like the ability to create and save hashtag groups for each profile.,10,2,AgoraPulse has allowed me to hand off tasks, that took up a lot of my time, confidently to lesser paid employees so that I can spend my time growing the business.,MavSocial, Buffer, Sprout Social, eClincher, Hootsuite Free, Sendible and MeetEdgar,AsanaFinally, a Platform that Solves All My Social Media NeedsAgoraPulse is used for our social media scheduling and user interaction. It saves a lot of time in the scheduling process by being able to share easily across platforms. I can easily upload months' worth of content at one time and customize the posts to include my own imagery, titles, or descriptions.,Easily and quickly upload as many pieces of content as I want, rather than upload one at a time. The preview feature gives me great confidence that I know exactly what people will see when I post. Customer service is very responsive and quick to help. I can easily perform social listening to follow more than just my own platforms.,The mobile app is not nearly as intuitive as the desktop platform, making it frustrating to use on the go. It would be great if they had various features that platforms have like polling, GIFs, and more.,9,3,AgoraPulse has saved me a large amount of time by allowing me to schedule in advance and post across multiple platforms simultaneously. The ability to swap out images and/or titles has allowed me to better customize the end product while getting a full preview prior to posting. I can more easily respond to engagement from multiple platforms all in one easy-to-use place.,Hootsuite Pro, Buffer and CoSchedule,Marketo, Adobe Photoshop, BitlyAgorapulse compresses the workload for social teamsAgorapulse has changed the game for our company. We have been able to manage over 100 social clients – all with different needs, by using this tool. Being able to create evergreen posts helps us make sure that content is going out consistently and that we don't have a lapse in posting for any of our clients. This allows us to take a broader look at each of the account's social strategies and make adjustments instead of always being reactionary.,Automatic reposting of content. Buckets for different types of content or subject matter. Content calendars that make sense.,I wish that we could create buckets that we could push the same content out to multiple client's profiles – this would help in our company for holiday posting.,10,3,We have lowered our internal capacity.,,Yext Knowledge Manager, Slack, Microsoft Office 365Agorapulse ReviewI currently use Agorapulse to manage our social media content for our whole, not for profit business. It is a marketing department tool but is also tied to other departments e.g. our Impact Manager so that I can share questions we receive on social with her to gain more information for responses. The main things that Agorapulse helps me to addresses are social media scheduling and reporting/insights.,I trial-ran many standard and well-known social media dashboards before choosing Agorapulse. Previous to my current role, I also used Agorapulse in another workplace - this is where I researched the best dashboard. The stand out feature for me is the ability to reply to posts within the dashboard. It is also super reliable - I have repeatedly, in other roles, found Hootsuite to be buggy on scheduling and complicated in visual set up. Agorapulse also has a live chat so any issues are responded to and dealt with quickly. They offer a non-profit discount which was one of the main factors I wanted to use it in my current role.,I can't like or respond to Instagram posts in the dashboard - I have to use the open in Instagram function. LinkedIn tagging isn't available as far as I'm aware. It doesn't show me individual likes on posts.,10,2,It's too soon to tell, however it certainly saves time.,Hootsuite FreeAgorapulse ReviewWe have over 30 separate websites and each has a Facebook and Twitter profile. We use Agorapulse to schedule several social posts per day, per site.,Calendar view allows us to easily see what is scheduled. The ability to have all social profiles listed in one place.,Mass uploading of social posts, including the appropriate image, would be useful. Mass updating of all scheduled posts to make changes or updates.

I use it to organize, track, and create posts simultaneously across all platforms. Only our social media marketing is being run by AgoraPulse. It allows me to see an overview of our social media strategy, analyze our analytics, and group our posts by subject. It's very helpful for saving time and allowing me to spend my time on other marketing projects.,The interface is especially clean and easy to navigate. Notifications are easy to see and find. Scrolling through collected data and interpreting information is simple. Toggling between platforms for similar information is straightforward.,I would like to be able to post videos to Instagram via AgoraPulse and multiple images.,9,1,We have seen an increase in our audience and our audience interactions.

We loved HeyOrca, however, they did not have any kind of community management tools. I spoke with their developer at a conference and found that this is not something they have planned to integrate, so we likely will not go back to them. We liked that they had a draft feature in their calendaring and that the people who just approved content (clients) did not have to have an account with HeyOrca, they could approve everything through a link in an email.

I looked at various options, did various trials (Hootsuite, etc.), but the free trial really sold me on the use of this product. I was given an extra 30 days to try the platform out, which allowed me to play more with it. I was apprehensive about the cost, but when I started looking at the purchase options that had this "league" of capability - it wasn't a far reach from this price point. I think overall it was the easiest platform to educate others on, for use and navigation.

AgoraPulse has an easier scheduling/queue system than Sprout Social. Sprout Social has a better "smart" scheduling system due to its ability to analyze the most popular times of day to post and recommend post times from that. Blows Hootsuite's complicated monitoring system out of the water. I would recommend AgoraPulse over any of the others I have used to date.

After testing all of these other tools, Agorapulse was our easy favorite. The interface is really intuitive and easy to understand, which was really important for us, as we wanted to hit the ground running and have the ability for various marketing team members to utilize it. The price was another huge feature. It is reasonable and affordable compared to some other platforms, such as Meltwater.

Databox provides nice metrics and data but does not offer automated publishing, whereas Agorapulse does. Buffer offers more social media platforms (i.e. Pinterest). Buffer and Hootsuite offer lower pricing but Agorapulse's customer service is second to none.

Agorapulse was a bit hidden within the social media management tool search, but I'm so glad I found it. Its price plans are affordable and fit well within the company's budget. It's truly the best bang for your buck. Agorapulse does everything that the bigger SMMTs do, but it's more user-friendly; it provides 24/7 live help depending on which plan you purchase. The ability to pause the publishing queue is vital; multiple users and admins without providing anyone the social account's passwords; bulk publishing with CSVs—you name it, Agorapulse probably has it.

  • Buffer
Buffer used to be the go-to software but in my humble opinion, Agorapulse surpasses their offerings.

What Agorapulse offers in one package would cost much more than Buffer and their separate disjointed offerings.

My Experience with Agora Pulse as a Previous Buffer User

We previously used Buffer in our office, but one main reason we switched is the queue category feature. One thing that Agora Pulse doesn't have is RSS feeds so we can follow blogs and repost them. Buffer did offer that, so we lost that, but the other features Agora Pulse offered outweighed the loss. The ability to assign posts it much easier and overall it seems a lot more user-friendly.

I tested several social media scheduling tools. I went with AgoraPulse for a couple of reasons.
  • The reporting was reliable
  • The system was user-friendly
  • The customer service is AMAZING and fast
  • Features are tested and reliable before they are rolled out
  • The pricing for the features was fair
  • The comment feed is real-time
  • There is a variety of publishing options

Before AgoraPulse, we were using Hootsuite for all of our social sharing. The Hootsuite platform lacked a lot of the customization that I desired and gave me little confidence in what each post would look like prior to publishing. I feel like the AgoraPulse platform is more aesthetically pleasing, easy to use, and customizable than other products that I've usesd. The customer support is also very responsive so I know any issues I encounter are quickly remedied.

Agorapulse had the main feature that we really needed – automatic reposting of content. This helps us maintain a larger amount of social clients without a lapse in posting. We can put evergreen posts into that bucket and repost them constantly to stay current. They give us a lot of flexibility with a lot of clients.

I preferred using AgoraPulse to Hootsuite because of the user interface and organization of information. I found it easier to toggle between platforms and find the data I wanted on AgoraPulse. I also found the analytics reports to be easier to scroll through and analyze. Functionality seems to be comparable between them.
