"Absolutely Excellent Social Media Management Product"

I like the feature for scheduling posts. I like that I can schedule for all platforms at once while still customizing each separately. Other programs require you to do each platform independently if you are in a single post scheduler. I also enjoy how your calendar displays the post image. I wish there was a way to mass-upload posts that included photographs. Before this, I used Hubspot, and it was simple to export a whole month to a CSV and then import data. They offer a media library, so you simply upload all of the images, and then in your CSV, insert the Hubspot link in the image column. When you import it, your posts will be complete with photographs. I can import the copy into Hootsuite, but the image must be inserted afterwards. Hootsuite makes it simple to post to all of our social media networks at the same time. This method saves me a significant amount of time. I also enjoy that all of our updates are in one spot in our email. This allows me to manage all responses at the same time. Hootsuite makes it simple to schedule several posts in advance. We save a lot of time by uploading everything in one location at once, and if we need to alter or update anything before the scheduled posting date, we know where to look and immediately fix it. Hootsuite has made significant modifications to make it easier to post numerous photographs to Instagram, which we frequently use.

Hootsuite may be what suits you.
I run an online content creation blog that caters to small and upcoming businesses. We create and schedule content throughout all our social media platforms (omnichannel). This is where Hootsuite comes in: we can schedule content for social media and be able to direct traffic to our blogs through the use of our careful automation that allows us to connect with our customers so we can direct them to our site where they will explore more solutions for their pain points.

Time saving tool makes social media content creation and community management a breeze
I started using Hootsuite at a time when I had multiple clients to whom we were providing social media content creation services. One of the clients was a hospitality exhibition, with a requirement to post multiple times on the days of the exhibition, and the other clients are NPOs with a daily posting requirement. Hootsuite provided me with the ability to schedule content and easily resize images, and tag exhibitors, donors, beneficiaries, and other stakeholders easily and in the most user-friendly way.

The go-to package for getting your social media planning in gear.
Social media publication at our firm has been sporadic for years - we've shared our stories when we've had the time, all because we're working 'life.' Our advisors put it this way: "we've done incredibly well in spite of our lack of organization"! Working with Hootsuite forces you into a routine where bulking content is a pleasure rather than a chore. It forces you (in the nicest possible way) to make a strategy.

Hootsuite Saves My Butt
I use Hootsuite to schedule and publish social media posts at the optimum times. Although it is a little pricey, I find it manageable. It is relatively simple to use. I found it easy to connect my accounts and I am looking forward to hooking up TikTok when I get an account.

A tool that saves me time, but has a lot of room for more functionality
We use Hootsuite to plan almost all our social media posts across Twitter, Facebook, & Instagram. We also use it to keep track of engagement as it alerts us when users leave comments, send messages, share, etc. Without a tool like this, we wouldn't be able to batch our content in the same way. The condensed calendar view allows us to see our posts in a visual way, which is very helpful.

Good but room for development
I use it to help automatise the process of posting on linked in and to make sure that I am able to get the post up and live at the peak times to ensure that it can gain as much traction as possible. I also appreciate being able to sort out all of my posts for the week in one day and don't have to keep reminding myself to do it.

We use Hootsuite as a single tool/dashboard to manage all our social media postings & campaigns. ArcLab is a B2B Business so Linkedin is the main medium to reach our prospective buyers. This is also replicated across Facebook, which Hootsuite helps us post once to two platforms, saving me half the work! We do, however, use Twitter for our 'behind-the-scenes' team activities & photos.

Give it a go!
Hootsuite is easy to use and its great, you can schedule on more than one platform. It saves me time so that I can plan social media content and schedule it rather than having to post live each day. I like how you can also customise your 'dashboard' so that it helps to easily see whether other accounts have engaged in your posts or mentioned you in theirs.

Very helpful for small teams
I use Hootsuite as our all-in-one scheduling and analytics center. We have limited resources as a startup, so being able to schedule out several platforms for a week or two takes an enormous burden off us.
I use HootSuite to manage the social media accounts for my non profit business about old school text books. I use it to manage the daily posts for Facebook , Twitter and Instagram. I like to make sure that I don't post too many topics on the same themes each week. Hootsuite is used so that I can move posts and also plan well in advance what topics I want to focus on and which pages I promote.
Hootsuite is a lifesaver in our small nonprofit, where each of our employees juggles many tasks--including some outside our comfort zone! It has allowed me to plan and execute social media posts on the 4 platforms we presently use. I especially appreciate the Publisher feature, and the metrics that show what posts receive the most attention. I'm still learning, but Hootsuite has been vital in getting the word out!

Great Time Management Program
We have a lot of social channels so it really helps up to plan and utilize our time better. It's great to be able to pre-plan posts for weekends, time away, etc as well. I have spent a lot of time in the past going to each social platform for each post, its extremely time consuming and not efficient at all. Hootsuite allows me to schedule all of my posts with one click.
August 24, 2022
Love it
I use Hootsuite to post across more than one social media platform at once. It saves me a lot of time and also allows me to schedule posts to be published at a later time and day. It keeps an eye for me on word counts and takes all the effort out of it.

Hootsuite is a Real Hoot for Small Business Owners!
I use Hootsuite for attraction marketing and regular marketing. I want a regular presence on social media and Hootsuite allows me to have that. It addresses the issue of staying relevant and visible. By allowing me to schedule in advance, Hootsuite frees up time for me, which is invaluable as I am a small business owner.<br><br>Also, Hootsuite provides me with information about the best times to post on different social media platforms, which helps with engagement.

Great for scheduling your content.
Hootsuite enables me to schedule Linked\Inpost, which saves me valuable time each day, allowing me to focus on other areas of the business and support our team.
August 23, 2022
Lives up to its billing
Allows cross-posting on multiple platforms, as well as monitoring social media. Hootsuite also allows us to schedule post, duplicate posts, save drafts and much more. As one person managing six different accounts, being efficient is key and Hootsuite allows me to navigate various platforms at once. It's definitely worth having.
August 22, 2022
marketing essential!
We use Hootsuite to schedule posts on Facebook and Instagram for several accounts. It's useful to see when is the best time to post, and also that you can forget about it once they're scheduled. The analytics are also very useful to see the growth of our social media, and what's working and what isn't.

Happy with Hootsuite and the time saving features.
We use Hootsuite to post to multiple social media platforms more easily. It allows more consistency in our posts and easier proofing prior to posting.

Great Product for Foolproof Postings!
I use Hootsuite to create and post on Twitter. We use social media advertising to extend our promotional marketing products to our customer base. We are thought of a Tee-Shirt and sports ware company and try to show that we are much more than that. Our customers are corporate as well as sports teams and schools.

Novice user
I have limited time to create and post content for our social media accounts. Hootsuite allows me, a novice when it comes to technology, create and post to our social media accounts in one location. Our social media presence would be extremely limited without Hootsuite.
August 15, 2022
Tremendous value for nonprofit users
Hootsuite makes publishing through social media incredibly efficient. The interface enables me to easily see what's been published, what's scheduled, and what is being talked about across multiple channels. Hootsuite saves me hours per week in content creation and dissemination. This time savings enables me to focus on making the content better. I'm not just pushing out posts and tweets. I'm truly creating content.

Glad to use Hootsuite to engage with internal and external audiences within Higher Education.
I lead a unit on our campus that is focused on both enhancing the career readiness of our diverse student population and identifying external partners (i.e., business and civic communities) for mutually beneficial outcomes. Adding value to this nexus requires robust communication and Hootsuite contributes significantly to our ability to engage with our intended audiences. The functionality of the product is intuitive, and the ease in scheduling posts/content has proven to be a lifesaver. I'd recommend Hootsuite to a wide range of professionals, members of defined communities, and those interested in thoughtfully adding value to the conversations they care most about joining.

Hootsuite rules!
I use Hootsuite to schedule my social media posts for my music blog MusicBoxPete. It allows me to inform my users of when new articles, podcasts, and live videos are posted and is designed to keep in touch with my readers about news concerning music, new and emerging artists, and anything concerning the music industry.
