A tool that saves me time, but has a lot of room for more functionality
- Visualization of posts
- Editing captions across platforms
- Alerts for new activity from followers
- A more functional way to use the Instagram grid feature. We plan our grid in a pattern, and better functionality would be very welcome.

Give it a go!
- Customize dashboard
- How it schedules/looks for posting on LinkedIn company pages
- Shows if other accounts have mentioned you
- Easy log in using your social media account
- limited number of posts scheduled on the basic version
- limited to a couple of social media accounts on the basic version
August 30, 2022
Very helpful for small teams
- Scheduling across multiple platforms
- Providing key audience demo detail
- Insight into most effective dates/times to post
- Video posts fail every so often
- Hootsuite is excellent for viewing all your posts on every social media platform in one place
- Hootsuite is great for showing you what that post will look like with the graphic attached.
- Hootsuite is great for moving posts that need to be edited to a different day or month.
- Hootsuite is great for offering you times to post if you aren't sure at which time to post
- The suggested times for posts never seem to work for more and I get less engagement.
- On the free account I would love to see an ability to publish directly to Instagram , even when I try to link my Instagram account it doesn't do this.
- Hootsuite seems very busy directed, but please remember non -profit hobby-ist websites ( like me) use you as well.
- Publisher feature --for planning
- Metrics and feedback
- Help features & videos
- perhaps videos showing how to do multiple-image posts or reels? These are a bit out of my depth right now.

August 24, 2022
Love it
- Posts across more than one platform at once
- Keeps an eye on word limits
- Shortens urls on request

August 24, 2022
Hootsuite is a Real Hoot for Small Business Owners!
- Scheduling posts in advance
- Educating users about the algorithms on different SM platforms
- Educating users about hashtags
- Post analytics
August 23, 2022
Great for scheduling your content.
- Easy creation of social media posts.
- Simple scheduling of content.
- The ability to repurpose content is great.
- Offer a second step confirmation before posting instantly. I've made the error of hitting Post Now instead of Schedule later too many times.
August 23, 2022
Lives up to its billing
- I can save a draft of a message and quickly access it for future postings whenever I need.
- I'm able to write one message and push it out to three or four platforms at a time, and especially like being able to customize (remove hashtags on Facebook posts).
- The grid view and ability to customize viewing windows mean I never miss a mention of our municipality on social media. It catches things the main platforms themselves don't.
- I wish I could have Hootsuite automatically delete hashtags from my Facebook posts, which would save me having to delete them manually before hitting post to multiple accounts.
- Hootsuite doesn't work great when trying to add multiple photos to an Instagram post.
- I wish there was an ability to have notifications from accounts pop up or somehow notify me elsewhere on my computer. You might need an app rather than a browser window to accomplish this however.

Tremendous value for nonprofit users
- User interface is intuitive and easy to use
- Hootsuite makes it easy to track performance for my posts and monitor other relevant channels for our nonprofit brand
- Hootsuite enables us to collaborate easily and track edits
- More and better online training for the platform. Some colleagues have found it lacking

- some element of streamlining. interface is intuitive, but it overwhelms some people

Glad to use Hootsuite to engage with internal and external audiences within Higher Education.
- Linking desperate social media channels.
- Bank of available images to drive the point home or at least anchor it.
- Scheduling content in advance to find your intended audience at their peak times.
- Viewing multiple channels between comfortable, standard, and compact is helpful; perhaps a fourth category might provide users a "preferred" middle step.
