I needed something that would make social media posting more streamlined. It takes too much time to post individually on various platforms. I also needed something to easily schedule posts ahead. It is also helpful to see the streams from multiple platforms in one place. I have used the paid and free versions.
- Easy to use dashboard showing social feeds.
- Easy to set up posts across platforms.
- Easy to edit scheduled posts or drafts.
- Free version used to offer a lot more performance.
- Insights now only available for paid versions.
- Would be nice to see shares.
- Hashtag suggestions or insight would be helpful.
- Saving time by scheduling posts.
- Being able to easily edit posts if needed.
- Being able to see social streams in one place.
- The time savings for posting has positive ROI by adding leverage.
- They send emails offering a free upgrade trial but didn't say it was only for first-time users. When I tried that, they charged me for the whole year. Luckily they did refund the cost ($588) and moved back to the free version. That was a shock to see on my card.
- This was a helpful step for my business.
This was the first program that I used so do not have anything to compare it to. It does work better than scheduling within Facebook now Meta. I am not looking into other options because I would like to be able to post to more social accounts at a lower cost.

Customized filters saves me money and time!
I utilize the metrics at least once a week on Impact to see how our posts are landing for our various office locations. I am based in one location, with 5 other offices in our state. Impact helps me target the key decision makers and makes suggestions for the best return on investment with our linked social media accounts at a glance.
- Custom filter comparisons
- organic vs paid insights
- easy to digest suggestions moving forward
- ability to filter less important info for my group
- sharable files a little more accesible
- Suggestions based on current performance
- recommendations on organic vs paid ads
- easy to understand details on top performing posts and ads
- Able to weed out the fluff platforms and expenses
- targeted posts for key decision makers
I have been using Hootsuite Impact for about a year for basic social media posting and suggested top post dates and times. The ability to merge the past posts with current data with little effort, plus the easy to use navigation with Hootsuite Impact was the tipping point. I have been very pleased with our decision.

Hootsuite Impact - A great tool for communications professionals to keep track of the social universe.
Hootsuite Impact is a being used as a way to track what our customers, the media, and our competitors are saying about our products and services, beyond simply just looking at cases where we are mentioned directly by them. It allows us to track what is happening in real time across a number of different platforms.
- It is easy to quickly set up and get results from specific search terms.
- It tracks these terms across many different platforms, all in one place.
- It allows us to quickly analyze the data from these mentions.
- It would be great to be able to associate your search terms with a secondary search term to pull in specific mentions. (Comany Name + SEARCH TERM) OR (Company Name + Another Search Term).
- As with most social monitoring tools, the sentiment analysis is not very accurate in that it only associates specific keywords to a sentiment.
- Hootsuite Impact has reduced the amount of time it takes to pull reports on market terms that we have set up to monitor.
- The ability to include public facebook pages as a source of data has given us a look into areas that we were previously unable to monitor.
- Hootsuite Impact has not improved our ability to perform sentiment analysis.
Hootsuite Impact is far easy to use, both in setup and in pulling reports, than Adobe Social was for us. The visualizations make data far easier to read, and being able to quickly filter through mentions has helped us to be more nimble when pulling reports.

Worth Using, but Still Work to be Done
Our organization uses Hootsuite Impact to measure ROI of our social media efforts, including organic and paid efforts. We are able to get data across several different platforms and pages or accounts on each of those platforms. The tool enables us to have a centralized place where all content contributors and page managers can collaborate and review integrated analytics.
- Hootsuite Impact integrates with Google Analytics, so you can more easily track conversions.
- Hootsuite Impact allows (nearly) unlimited users to collaborate in the system simultaneously.
- Hootsuite Impact allows users to view data across social platforms (i.e. Twitter and Facebook in one view).
- The tagging feature could be improved. It currently does not map well to Hootsuite Enterprise's publishing dashboard and requires manually mapping on the back end to connect the two systems.
- There are a lot of different sections in the platform--for recommendations, insights, dashboards, etc. You can also search things by saving filtered searches and applying those filters to other areas of the platform. How these things work together isn't always clear or intuitive.
- Positive - being able to centralize our social media management has helped save time and resources
- Positive - we can better measure our efforts and course correct more quickly if something is/isn't working.
- Positive - we can better track conversions on social posts aimed to sell products with actual purchases on our website.
- Tracx and Sprout Social
Because Hootsuite has a strong publishing/listening tool that connects to analytics, it was the best for us. Tracx has incredible analytics, but their publishing tools were not as strong. Sprout Social was good as well, but their single inbox/stream was not ideal for managing 10+ social accounts.
