I really like the interface of Hootsuite. It is highly aesthetic and easy to navigate. Overall, based on other platforms I've seen, Hootsuite is very user-friendly and easy to use. The usability is efficient, and there is not too much clutter or unnecessary things on the platform. Overall, I like the platform.

The platform is very easy to use as far as scheduling goes. The publisher function is simple to use and makes enough sense to me. It is easy to learn as far as that goes. I do not know how to use the other features of the program, but I would like to be able to learn how to use the program better to use the program most efficiently.

Hootsuite is the all in one social media management platform for small marketing teams with big goals for social media.

Hootsuite is straightforward and does a great job of onboarding new users directly within the platform. Connecting social media accounts, regardless of whether you are managing multiple profiles on one platform, is easy enough. You can also easily toggle between platforms to see interactive dashboards showing how people are engaging with your posts.

I think Hootsuite is a great platform for users looking to schedule their social media content. There are always differences between paid and free versions, so that could affect the overall usability for people. We are happy with the product we have and it helps save time on a daily basis.

Engage and educate your followers, donors, and supporters with Hootsuite!

Most features are easy to use. The analytics could be more straightforward, but it's not terrible. I haven't used Hootsuite on mobile, and I'm unsure how easy that would be given the amount of features available. Love that it's updated to include AI and has new features and tools all the time.
